The last couple of months.

The last couple of months.

So, it’s obviously been awhile since I last blogged — it may be fitting to do a little recap so we can all catch up and get cozy with each other once again. Let’s see… Since May 29th:

• I moved. Well, I may have moved just a few days before but I hadn’t blogged about it. I’m now in a tiny 415 sq. ft. studio in hipster central NW Portland. Actually, it’s more of a training grounds for the novice hipster. Fully matured hipsters move to the Hawthorne neighborhood and watch movies at Cine Magic (more on that later).
• I turned 24. On May 31st, in fact.
• I finally relocated my two cats to my tiny studio apartment. That’s all fine and well, but the girthier of the two struggles to fit her whole body into the litter box when she goes to the bathroom. As you might assume, that poses some serious problems. Thank God for linoleum.
• I became an uncle again. My niece, Jayda Jolie Vitellaro (J.J. for short) was born at Good Samaritan, just two blocks from my apartment.
• I went to Europe for two weeks. Flew to London, hopped down to Rome, slid on up to Florence, then over to the Italian Riviera in the Cinque Terre region where I got stuck for an extra two days because the trains went on strike. Next was Milan for a few hours, then Paris for a few days, back to London and then back to the states. Quite the whirlwind tour. I’ll make sure to write a blog post all about it.
• I read 3.5 books. I finished “Water for Elephants” just before I left for Europe, then Dan Brown’s “Angel’s and Demons” while I was in Rome (fitting, I know), “Tuesday’s with Morrie” in Vernazza (found it sitting on a shelf in our hostel), then half of “The Beach” at the train station in Milan and during the nine-hour train ride to Paris.
• I bought a mop. Considering the fat-cat/little-litter box debacle, this was entirely necessary.
• I rounded out my killer studio with a flat screen HDTV and a PS3 that I finagled off my younger brother for a pretty decent price. Now I’m hooked on movies and NCAA 2009.
