msfledermausPretty soon I'm putting in some laundry--I'd have the whole laundry room to myself; I can't resist an opportunity like that!
And mail off bills.
And I promised myself a glove-shopping expedition. And a walk.
I've been listening to MPR again...If Walter Mondale does take Wellstone's place I'll breathe a little easier. I think it's churlish that the GOP wants debates with Mr Mondale for 5 days straight befor the election--I mean, come on, you heartless bastards, we haven't even buried Paul yet, show some class!!! Mondale hasn't even agreed yet, assuming he'll agree at all!
The Neopolitans have a way of looking at Purgatory and the afterlife; namely that you do not go to Hell after you die because they consider this life as Hell. It sure feels that way lately when I take a look at our situation lately....

Date: 2002-10-28 09:27 am (UTC)I'm prone to agree with the Neopolitans.
Interesting to note, though, for Italian-Americans of southern Italian descent (such as my family), a common curse was to say "Go to Naples!" (in Italian, of course), which was equivalent to telling someone to go to hell.
Another interesting note (though not related), Sicilian, which is a separate language from Italian, has no future tense.
Since we're on the subject of Italian trivia, Italy has the lowest birthrate in the world.

Date: 2002-10-28 09:32 am (UTC)Sooo, Hell is Naples? I know they have Vesuvius, so that makes geographical sense, too...
So what's Tuscany? (I'm a little tuscan, a you know since I told you a time or 16:) Heeee!
No present tense? that's really rare, isn't it?
What other Italian trivia do you have, young lady?

Date: 2002-10-28 09:44 am (UTC)that makes sense- they also use the remote past as a present tense.
those siciliani are weird, definitely.
