S'UP MY B*TCHES.

[Ah, the effortless chic of Rome has done absolutely nothing for my image.]

At any rate.  Today was my friend's bridal shower.  I was chatting up Grandma, a delicate older woman, who told me that, "diamonds come in small packages...but so does dynamite!"

Well, Grandma.  I'm thinking that I want nothing to do with any kind of small packages.  But, in this diamond/dynamite case.  Figure that either way: it's the thought that counts.

GA-ZINGGGG.

Can't wait to regale you with stories from the old country.  Stay tuned.
