a short update

I had my Global Political Economy exam yesterday. I have to thank Susan Strange for how well she taught me at Warwick, it would have been impossible otherwise!

I saw two things that made me smile today - a car with a fascia around the number plate with written on LOVE ME - I'M ITALIAN and also a car with a sticker on which said - don't ride a horse - ride a cowboy. Incidentally that is also the name of a country song and I MUST find out which one!!

I had the second installment of my Italian parties series - I think I mentioned that every month I have a party at my place with people from school. Yesterday I invited a couple of guys from Arizona State University I met in San Francisco and they were actually quite fun, so I think I will invite them again. Coincidentally, one is being interviewed by the New York Times lothario who hit on me during my trip to San Fran. It's a small world. David says that there are only 700 gay men in the world and the rest is smoke and mirrors and I am starting to believe him.

Oh just to finish things off I thought I would share with you the names of some of my new acquaintances...Slade, Cody and Rush - with names like those they will have to become bestest (!) of friends!!!
