(yes, i am one of those that thinks blogs are interactive, obviously.) this just reminds me of what happened this weekend when i was in your city – just for the weekend! i spent more than a few minutes thinking, “i wonder if this is maggie’s street!” and, “i wonder if this is the street where she was surprised with that red car!”

i’m from wisconsin, where we don’t really have any nationalities besides germans and norwegians, although i live in s. florida now, so these shows of ethnic diversity always amuse me. i giggled and asked my boyfriend the first thing that came to mind, “so, you think he’s italian?”

then i looked up. they were standing right under a sign that said: ITALIAN RESTAURANT.

perfect!

your city was gorgeous.. flickr me at username jisou if you want to see pictures. (yes, i am one of those that thinks blogs are interactive, obviously.)

"Mom. Mom. <i>Mom</i>. Mom. Mom Mom Mom. MOM. Mom. <i>Mom</i>. Mom Mom. Mom." He actually sounded fairly calm, but the girl he was with looked embarrassed in a genteel fashion, yet resigned. (Also, it reminded me of the HIMYM from a few weeks back when it required 16 no's for Robin to convey that she was not dating Barney.)

It is like a mini-play. The ones that are really funny, though, are the ones that come from the neighboring bathroom stall. I love watching people yelling at/into their cellphone.
