…finally, vacay dates.

Today, I was finally informed of the fact that we depart the 27th of June for Europe and return the 24th of July. This means that I am missing Canada Day for the first time since we moved here nearly 15 years ago. Needless to say, I am rather displeased. BOO. I’m going to be a little surly here, just because I can. I am missing several birthdays, Warped Tour (one of the best lineups to date), Bluesfest and Canada Day. I’m pretty sure my parents scheduled this in July intentionally, despite my many protests. In all fairness, I do get to see some awesome stuff in Italy (LEANING TOWER OF PISA, COLISEUM, WUT), wander the Adriatic coast (oh baby – Splicani, moji ste) and eat my weight in perfectly-seasoned meat (mmmcevapi) while hanging out with my grandparents…the only issue is the fact that I have to deal with my fam for a full month. Ughhh. Driving. Long. Distances. Brother. Mother. DOOM.

I have questionable priorities in life; deal with it.

In any case, I fully intend on keeping you guys informed of all the insanity throughout, as there is bound to be some form of natural disaster waiting in the wings. Or perhaps we may get caught up in the Great Pasta War of 2009…who knows?

Posso avere uno espresso con panna, per favore?
