5 days

I absolutely cannot believe I leave for Italy in just 5 days. I have a zillion things I feel like I need to do/remember to get/pack but little time to do it all. I'll manage somehow but I bet Sunday will be a bit nuts. Our flight doesn't leave till 3:45, we then have a layover in Frankfurt (6 hours I think, good god) and then onto Milan. We start in Venice, then onto Florence and then almost a full week in Rome. It's gonna be kickass. Oh, did I tell you there will be around 30 high school students on the trip too? Glad I'm not a chaperone:)

Tonight Jon and I are cooking for my mom and dad. It's going to be a shrimp and asparagus pasta toss. The recipe is up on the fudblog if you want it. Hopefully it'll turn out ok and they'll like it.

I can't remember if I mentioned that I'm doing an interview with Sum 41 for Revolt. They're not my favorites or anything, but it's still kinda neat to have gotten an interview with a band that's on a major label and has a number of full-length albums behind them. I also have another feature up on the main page of Revolt from an interview I did with National Product. Check it out.

I broke down and ordered three new books from Amazon yesterday and can't wait for them to come. I've been invited to join a summer reading contest and need to get crackin' if I want to even stand a chance. Jon lent me Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko and though I just started it, I'm already having trouble putting it down.

Ciao.
