Quick update before I go to work:
New roommate for a few days. More on that later.
Going home tomorrow and on vacay Saturday. Should be fun.
New intern. She's hot, but really crazy. Anti-McDonalds, anti-corporation, and tries to convert the non-believers. She referred to me as her boyfriend yesterday when I was out. Really weird. She's also a raw vegan, meaning she tries to eat only uncooked veggies, fruits, etc. Far more extreme than my simple vegetarianism.
Been going out a lot recently -- Tuesday with the co-workers to a comedy club, yesterday with the new Italian fam's eldest two daughters and two of their friends to a karaoke bar. After checking with a guy's friend, I serenaded Don's (the guy who had just sang a love song to his wife previously) wife. Justin Timberlake's Senorita. The chorus goes:
Senorita I feel for you
You deal with things that you don’t have to
He doesn’t love you I can tell by his charm
But you can feel this real love if you just lay in my aah-aah-aah-arms
As his friend predicted, they took it quite well. That was fun. A bit hung over when I woke up today, but I'll be fine for work.

Enjoying the Nicer Comforts
Yesterday, I took a long bus ride to Hyannis, MA to visit my uncle and fam in his house (formerly my grandpa's house) in Cape Cod. It's BEAUTIFUL.
He expanded the houses that were there, and he really made them quite lavish and comfortable. I used to walk around grandpa's house sneezing every six seconds and rubbing my watery eyes, but I'm now quite comfortably lying back on a couch, plugged into the internet. They put in a pool, a weight room, and total ballerness. My uncle really knows how to live in style. Uncle Josh, the youngest of my dad's four siblings, and his wife, Cristina, have done quite well with themselves.
The Cape is full of fun people. Josh, Cristina, and their two kids, Max (~12) and Harry (~9), are loads of fun. We played in the pool yesterday, and it was just wonderful. Also here is Cristina's brother (Stefano), his wife (Lydia), and their five kids. I still don't remember all their names. Here's what I have: (as I realize this, I just realized I called the middle child by the wrong name for a solid 10 minutes last night and just almost screamed SHIT out loud. That would've been bad, because everyone else, as far as I can tell, is still asleep.) Lily? 17; Phoebe, 16; Vivian, ~9 (two months apart from Harry, I'm told);Italo, 2 or 3; and (cough cough ahem I forgot her name -- E-something), 10 months. They're also fun.
Cristina is originally from Italy, and her family is super spread out. Her brother is a photographer (one of the premier photographers for children) and uncle Josh told me he's good enough that he's figured out a way to work 60 days a year and just chill the rest of the time. He and his family live part of the time in London, part of the time in Italy, and travel a lot in the States. Her sister, whom I probably have not seen since Josh's wedding, at which I was around 8, lives in Hong Kong. I don't know her deal.
Josh has told me I should start visiting on my own in the winter while at school. If you go to school with me and are reading this, bug me about it. We should totally go up a lot of three-day weekends with a lot of friends. Plenty of beds, lots to do. It's an hour and a half bus ride, and from there we'll just need to take a taxi to the house. It'd be better if we could take a car so we could do things such as grocery shopping, but we could work around it.
Well I'm going to grab some food. People should be up soon. Taking a nice boat ride today. This place is awesome/ridiculous.
