The Schnitzel, the Requiem, the Museum Fatigue, and the Fish Head (or) The Subject of Another Entry

As the more astute among you have already guessed, I write this somewhat belated update to my travelogue from the familiar soils of the United States - in fact, from the familiar carpet of my desk in Harvard Square.

As my travels progressed and I wandered on through Europe, I found myself with less and less time to spend at the computer; what's more

Or rather, they've popped all the buttons on the lederhosen with a dish so staggeringly high in breadcrumbs and low in flavor that I'm not sure how, as a nation, they were ever able to conquer half of Europe.
Their lack of tasty at home might explain why they felt this need.

I believe you have discovered the real reason behind the Austrian-led occupation of Italy, a country whose taste sensations I have already extolled in previous LiveJournal entries.

With only lederhosen and Schnitzel to boast of, it's entirely possible the Austrians invaded Italy and held it only to reassure themselves that other cultures could be both culinarily gifted and very well-dressed.

So you ARE in the Boston area. I sent you an e-mail about hanging out when I visit this weekend. Awesome people reply to e-mails. Are you an awesome person, Alison?

[vergiliad]

Yes! Yes I am!

I am sorry I didn't reply to your e-mail sooner. I was an awesome person, as I started to reply to your e-mail, and then, regrettably, saved it in my drafts and forgot to return to it (less awesome).

Let's try again, shall we? :)

Oh yes, please, let's do. You'll bring your awesomeness quotient back up to at least 95% (still have to deduct 5% for the delay, you understand).
