Internet.
I bought a brand new car yesterday evening.
Brought it back to the dealer to finish up some paperwork.
A different sales attendant backs up into my car.
No apologies. No direct plan of action.

I went to the Olympics. And I brought @JefferyGoldblum because he’s an international icon and the only one capable of unifying the world.

.@Lesdoggg. Miss Leslie. Queen Jones.
We’re going to be at Women’s Hockey today. If you see a trio of disheveled white ladies coming at with you with Jeff Goldblum signs, please don’t run away. We only look crazy because we’re living in a van.

@PhillyD can you please discuss NBC’s comments about Japan at the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony?
I live in ROK and the internet/media here is PISSED that the US reporter would be so ignorant of the Japanese Occupation of Korea in the 1900s. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

My first meal in Japan: Coco Curry.
(And boy, @eatyourkimchi, it lived up to the hype).

Woman @ table next to me "I should be here with my fiancé, not my parents".
Her mother "Shannon, you've been single for 3 years."

Uhwut.

There's an accordion/tuba duo practicing their 20min cover of "Mr. Saxobeat" outside my window.
If that isn't the most Italian statement...

[Chet Ubetcha 🎤 @heytherelizpace]

I'm an American in Italy by way of Korea getting tattooed by a French woman.
Life is bizarre and surreal and I'm forever grateful. #blessed

Currently at "America Bar" in Bologna.
What makes it American?
A poster of Marilyn Monroe and a promotion for 1€ shots of Jim Bean.

She has a hiking pole that is almost as tall as she is, and has told the train attendant to make the train go faster 4 times. #newbestfriend

[Chet Ubetcha 🎤 @heytherelizpace]

Today's train friend: a grandmother in silver cheetah print shoes&argyle socks, chugging orange Fanta, unapologetically burping.
I love her.

[Chet Ubetcha 🎤 @heytherelizpace]

Chick kept asking "eyes....delicate?". It took me a minute to figure out she meant my eyes were sensitive. #blueeyesabroad

[Chet Ubetcha 🎤 @heytherelizpace]

The machine that checks your cornea had a picture of a distant house to focus on and more farm animals kept popping up as the light moved.

[Chet Ubetcha 🎤 @heytherelizpace]

I've had glasses since I was in kindergarten. Never have I ever had an eye exam as exciting as this one.

[Chet Ubetcha 🎤 @heytherelizpace]

Rediscovering Paramore on the train to frisbee. The sleepy business man next to me is not amused.

Finally found the perfect sing-along song that makes my 7 year olds sound like the gremlins they are.
