Wow, nice to see you again!

I haven't posted in more than 6 months. "Why??" the hapless visitor asks, "your blog is superlative and read by thousands". "True that, double true", I respond non-chalantly, "however, I'm lazy, disorganized and forgetful. Mostly I forgot it was there."

What has happened in the blessed life of Thricedamned since last he spake?

Well, I've been abroad a few times. I'll begin by telling a little bit about that.

Went to New York in October/November for a couple of weeks, which was unbelievably great. My first time in the States. Had a total blast. New York, shall I compare thee to a summers day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Beautiful city, so alive. Great food, great people. Best pizza I ever tasted in my life was to be found in abundance at John's on Bleeker St.
Jeebus weeps but that was something to remember.

Milan in February. My second visit there. Gorgeous old-european, sumptious city. Right next to the Duomo (main Cathederal) is an alleyway, where a bakary called "Luini's" is situated. Been there since 1850 or so. They serve something called "panzerotti", which is probably the best thing I've ever tasted in my whole entire life. I dream about it at night and wake up crying.

And last, but definitely not least, Shanghai in march/april for about 2 weeks. Had an unbeliavably good time there. Most Blade Runner-esque place you can imagine. Futuristic, bustling megapolis of 18 million people. Just splitting in half with energy and synergy and every sort of -gy you can imagine.
Sitting on top of the Jin Mao tower, on the 87th floor, in the Cloud 9 club, drinking a really bad White Russian and looking over the lights of Shanghai is something that I'll never forget.
Unbelievable food. Ate snake, turtle, lotus, jellyfish, donkey, cow stomach, pig's ears, cactus, all sorts of things. Funny thing is, it all tasted great. Well, not the jellyfish.

I suddenly notice how much I judge places by how good the food is. Goddamn gluttonous nature of mine!

So, yeah. Been seeing the world a little bit. Had a bit of a change in the workplace, which was definitely for the better. Been loving my woman, my friends and my life. I'm as happy as a clam, if clams can happy be.

Envy away, as it rules to be me. Updates to follow.
