0 – 1.

I just watched Italy lose to Costa Rica in the World Cup — all the while texting my friends in Rome, who are, of course, devastated…ah, the heartbreak of sport!

Congratulations, Costa Rica! And as for Italy: Che palle, dudes. Che palle.

But watching the Italians play today reminded me of the first time I ever attended a soccer match in Rome — an event some of you may remember from page 69 in Eat Pray Love. Certainly the best lesson in Italian vocabulary I ever experienced.

And it also reminded me of the most RECENT time I watched a soccer game in Rome. Both times, with my friend Luca Spaghetti — pictured here. There is hardly any place I would rather be, than in a football stadium with Luca Spaghetti. (OK, maybe a pizzeria…)

We love you, Luca! Sorry for your loss!

🙂

Onward,

THE MERCURY RETROGRADE BODY MITTEN!!!

The astrologically-minded amongst you might appreciate this product, especially this month.

A friend sent me the link yesterday and I haven't been able to stop laughing about it…

(Be sure to read the text about how the body mitten is made: "hand-knit by celibate Virgos…unicorn hair…lavender oil")

I'll take three of them, please.

Yesterday, I bought a copy of @[227291194019670:274:Elizabeth Gilbert]'s The Signature of All Things in the English bookstore. I've been wanting to read it for a while, particularly to see how she handles writing about the 19th century. I want to see her stylistic choices . . . So far, I really like the book. 🙂 — in Budapest, Hungary.
