I got rumors that +the famous kernel hacker RobertLove would be there, so after +a while I turned to the guy next to me and asked: "Is +RobertLove really going to come?". And he replied: "Speaking." + +Another guy told me: "Hi, I'm BAHB". "Pardon?". "BAHB!". +"What???". Federico promptly helped me out: "Ha detto che si +chiama BOB :-)" + +The beer was good. I discovered that a BlueMoon is the +nearest approximation of a WeisseBeer I can find here, +and I'm not at all displeased by its taste. + + +==== Slow day ==== + +My landlord has recently switched DSL provider and Internet +doesn't work any more: the sync light on the modem flashes. +It seems that crappy ISPs are a common disease in the States +as well. + +Yesterday, he called for service and, finally, they told him +they would send a tech today from 8AM to 18PM. They refused +to be more specific. And so I've agreed to wait here to let +the guy in... I care about it for myself too! + + +=== Thu, 3rd === + +==== Roxbury ==== + +They told me Roxbury is quite an infamous suburb of Boston. +And my first impression confirms that: shops are uglier, +parks and streets are somewhat dirtier (but not as much as +in NewYorkCity!) and, most importantly, some of the neighbors +look creepy. Especially in the night, streets are crowded by +people with criminal faces and many homeless. + +You know I'm not the type who's easily scared off by a bunch +of zombies, but I'll feel much better when I'll drive a car. + +==== Moving In ==== + +I've finally settled in my room. There's no need to describe the house +in detail, as it's the most typical colonial design: two floors plus +basement, front and back yards, sliding windows, wooden floors +everywhere. You've come to know them very well from the movies. + +Today I went to the mall to gather the essentials: a blankets, +a pillow case and some bath towels. The bed is comfortable and +I was quite tired already, therefore I fell asleep early in the +evening and kept on until 8 AM. + +'''WARNING: TIME WARP OCCURRED''' +----- +'''WARNING: TIME WARP IMMINENT''' + === Fri, 4th === Alberto: Attento a convertire € in $ perchè € si sta apprezzando,e quindi $ svalutando rispetto a €.
