Not enough Jared Leto in the world.

This weekend I did something really stupid: I watched Oliver Stone's "Alexander". Yet another 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back.

But it wasn't a complete waste of time thanks to the very few scenes where Jared leto pouts and does the sexy silent type thing. Think---Jordan Catalano wearing armor. Yum!

Those of you who are "MSCL" fans already know how dreamy he is, but as Hephaistion he takes yummy to a new level.

Alexander the Great had conquered 90% of the known world by the age of 25, led his armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years. Seriously---The film cost something like 186 billion dollars to make and this is the best they could do?


Sidenote: Colin looks like a complete dumb-ass as a blonde.

Spinning on the Bulls Balls.

No it's not some old fashioned Midwestern saying, it's what I did last weekend in Milan when I went to visit my gal pal Julie.

See, there is a curious custom in Milan, if you are passing through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, that you should spin around on the testicles of the bull mosaic found in the centre. Legend has it that this will bring you good luck! It's hilarious. Plus I'm always up for ball stomping whenever I get the opportunity.

Besides Ball spinning, we drank LOTS of wine and ate lots of great Italian food. No suprises there I suppose.

I had so much fun, that I don't know why Milan gets such a bad rap. So what if it's not Venice or Rome. It certainly has it's own charm.

Or maybe that was just the wine...

France: Not all it's cracked up to be.

Let's get one thing straight: I can complain about the French because I live in France and speak the language. You cannot complain about the French if you do neither of these things. If you do it just makes YOU look stupid as sin.

Secondly--the French are annoying---but I think I'm so hard on them because I had such high expectations of them to begin with. When I first moved to France, I thought they were all progressive and cool and forward thinking, blah blah blah. Now I realize they are just like the average dumb American---No better, no worse. They're just fucked up in different ways. So now I'm let down & pissed off. And I have no one to blame but myself and my own naivety.
But at least the food is good!
