Public Service Announcement!
August 22nd, 2005In preparation for nearly 4 months of life in Tuscany I did some shopping for my trip today. With Diego, my trusty accomplice on my side, we head out on an adventure that ended up being less sketchy than what I had imagined in my head.
I drove the highlander at top speed (30 mph), outrunning cops left and right. I parked, leaving skid marks. We then ran in. An old man near the pharmancy was blocking the condoms, so we quietly and calmly moved him to the side, knocking him over, only to hear him scream “Oi, my schmookem!”
I then took the rather large box of condoms (40 count) , and in a very un-superhero-esque way, paid for them.
Sigh, it wasn’t the adventure I was awaiting, but alas, they are purchased and I, my roomie, or anyone in need this semester will be safe.
Now before everyone thinks I’m going abroad for a romp fest, that would be inaccurate. Should the opportunity present itself, and someone says to me “Edgar would u tap that?” I would look at the object in question, and if pleasing enough, or Swedish, i might reply “sure, I’ll tap that.” But I don’t expect this to happen this semester. I will be a world traveler, that will remain my focus. But w/ NYU’s warning clear of going to such a Catholic country, with limited and expensive condoms, i decided to be proactive. Applaud or Protest if you must!
This is me, scratching my head and wondering, “why was this not more exciting?”
The object at hand….ha!! ha! ha….sigh
One week left to go! enjoy the Franklin mountains in the background!
Peace, Spice, and Adventure
