These are the places i've been to in the world:
create your own visited country map
or write about it on the open travel guide
Of course, if you only look at europe, it's more reassuring:
create your personalized map of europe
or write about it on the open travel guide
I think i need a new continent.
This is so YOU can decide whether it sucked or not.

All this lasted over 2 hours, and was interspersed with random chattering by Yours Truly, who would tend to coordinate songs and commentary quite clumsily, and also stupidly left windows sounds on throughout. Thank god nobody managed to record it.
Have i not posted in that long?
Anyway,
We love your SMS's!
Lemme explain. At the beginning of this new year(2004, i think), we here at WGD had a small feature answering reader email. Today i got an sms (from the charming and talented Gnapppo, which is all rather remarkable considering he's actually just an unproportionate ant. I won't even mention what material he's allegedly made of) that reminded me of how many threads i'd left hanging over here on the blog.
Um. Would copy the text of said sms, but i seem to have accidentally erased it.
Also, would've just plain answered to it, but my credit's way down somewhere hot and full of little red guys with hooves and horns. So i'll just write a long post instead.
Anyway:
1. My military situation
A.k.a. The Cat Situation
That's been permanently -and temporarily- fixed.
Almost three weeks ago i applied for Civil Service. Doing this automatically removes you from Military Service lists, according to italian law. Unfortunately, it puts you in the Civil Service lists. Now i have to worry about weaseling my way out of this one, but luckily i have more time on my hands, and no longer run the risk of ending up peeling potatoes with a bayonet up my *ahem*
Oops, almost mentioned college staff there. Better be more careful.
2. My Exam
Oh, yeah, i passed. Or rather, we, the think-tank in the back left corner of the classroom, farthest from the teacher's view, passed. And i got an 18/30, the minimum for passing, which is emblematic considering it's one of the exams i've studied most for in my life. And my average is 28/30. Oh well, i'll find a way to pull that up again on the 7th of april, which is when the second half of the exam comes. Oral this time, so i'll be much more in control.
3. The Radio Program
Still temporarily(?) called Sostituire, last week's official debut (after last month's semi-fiasco) wasn't that bad at all. Some close friends even complimented me on it, and i'm really flattered for this. Unfortunately, attempts to record the program didn't quite work. But i'm looking on the bright side: it gives me an excuse to play those songs again in the next shows!
Hope to have another broadcast this week or next, i'm already rounding up a nice new playlist.
4. The carnival costume business
Large Antropomorphic Cat beats Frank Zappa 3 to 1!
Which means i have to find a way to dress up as that before saturday. Shouldn't be too hard at all.
Feel free to carry on voting, however. Shock me. Rock the vote. Change my costuming plans five minutes before the train to venice leaves.
Actually, this poll was all just an excuse for linking to Cat And Girl again...
5. My Health
Q: Hey, how are you?
A: Koff, koff.
Bit of a sore throat these days, doing my best to keep to my room so as not to contaminate other people.
On the other hand, have been drinking much less recently, as part of a promise i made. Don't ask.
Oh, and i officially became older a week or so ago. No big deal, i don't celebrate. Don't really believe in time.
And finally, why did this result not shock me in the slightest?
you are the cute but psycho happy bunny. You
adorable, but a little out there. It's alright,
you might not have it all, but there are worse
which happy bunny are you?

First of all: go read The Book of Noodles. Worth it.
Next: things can be downloaded from killuglyradio again.
And good ol'Sananda has made his latest album completely available on mp3 over at his site. Nice valentine's day treat.
Both will only be available for a week or so. So hurry.
Oh, and a cow walked into a bank the other day. Splash.
Can't find my new Ensemble Modern cd anywhere in my room!
Anybody out there seen it?
You know, bedroom wormholes and everything...
It seems i'm the first to link to the great young brazilian singer Adriana Calcanhotto's newborn blog!
Good luck Adriana, and enjoy blogging!
In the past few days i've kept recieving spam from sites like sanvalentinoday.com (can't be bothered to know whether it actually exists or not). The first couple times, i would just delete it away with an annoyed "tsk". This morning, i saw one in my inbox and started shouting "AAAAH!! GO AWAY! GO AWAY!".
Problem is, i was in the library.
Anyway, i've noticed Verve Records has put out yet another series of compilations, this time intended "for lovers". And they had the decency to dedicate the series to "lovers and hopeful romantics". Cute!
WJ Evaristo is on the air!
Don't laugh.
Anyway, info on how to hear me, as always, at RadioPhiga!
Can't update much these days since WGD Central is -once again- experiencing 'net connection problems. Am currently updating from somebody else's office, on a win'95 platform. Stylish.
Anyway, tonight i will very very probably be broadcasting, or let's say "attempting to broadcast" on RadioPhiga once more, approximately from 22:00 GMT+1 onwards. Let's see if i last longer this time.
Can't stay, gotta catch a bus to Udine. If i'm victorious, i'll return happily clutching a Jacques Tati DVD box set. And a BIG smile on my face.
Thank you to all those who voted on the last poll. All three of you. Bah, i'm leaving it there on the sidebar in case anyone else wants to make suggestions. By the by, i ordered four cds via cdflash the other day, and none of them had anything to do with the ones mentioned. Shows how much even i care about that last poll!
Anyway, this next poll is a seasonal one, so i'm just posting it over here, and when it's gone it's gone.
Now go vote.

Why is this thing so damn expensive??? Ok, it's well worth the money, so let's rephrase that. Why is it so far out of my monetary reach????? Makes me wanna cry.
My high score was 530. This is the kind of thing that gets me late to appointments.
Smooth lights, clean clothes, and a Van Morrison album. Best way to begin a sunday morning.
Pity it's three o'clock in the afternoon, but let's not mention that.
