Friday, January 16, the condo, my room
I was talking to Mom today about all the stuff they are making Mia do in Genovia (working my girl to the bone) and I thought I heard Lilly mumble something like "when she's not reading Jane Eyre." What the hell? That book by one of the Bronte sisters? I never read it or any of those Bronte sisters' books except Wuthering Heights because it was required junior year. It was so depressing!!!! I'm surprised Mia would read something like that. She hates depressing shit!
Other than worrying about Mia and falling short in my musical ambitions, I've been packing for the return trip to NYC. The hardest part is finding room for my color printer in my suitcase.
Tomorrow is the day of that polo tournament. Here I'm pasting the article on it from Google News:
Prince William to play Genovian Royal Polo Team; for good causes
AFP -- 16 January 2005
Tomorrow, Prince William of Wales, 22, older son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, will greet the crowds at the Polo Club de Genovia for an event that is to combine glamor and altruism. The annual Tournoi de Polo was organized some years ago by the Riviera principality's sovereign, Prince Phillipe Grimaldi Renaldo, but this is the first time for the young British prince, who is rounding up his education at St. Andrews University in Scotland -- he will have a degree in Geography in June -- to play in the match. "The prince [William] is excited to play his favourite sport at a time when it is unseasonable in his home country!" said a spokesperson for the British royal family during a press conference today. "This is an opportunity for His Royal Highness to indulge a long-held wish to visit Genovia and also to raise a bit of money for his favorite charities."
Indeed. The 7th Tournoi de Polo will raise money for an assortment of charities selected jointly by Prince William and the Royal Family of Genovia. They are: The Prince's Trust, Centrepoint, the new pediatric centre of the Royal General Hospital de Genovia, and Greenpeace International. Prince William is to play for the a team of the Crown Princes of Spain and the Netherlands respectively. Prince Phillipe's team consists of his Italian cousin, Prince René Grimaldi Alberto, and Prince Tassilo of Liechtenstein. Prince Phillipe's daughter, and heiress, the 14-year-old Princess Amelia Grimaldi Renaldo is fully expected to attend the tournament and do the honours of presenting the Sovereign Cup to the winning team. Commonly known as "Mia," the American-born royal has been making her introduction to the Genovian people over whom she is expected to rule.
Why is Mia the only female who is mentioned here? Will her grandmother be there to scare those polo players away from my girl?
Is Mia likely to go for a polo type? They work those horses pretty hard. She won't like that. Mia doesn't like anything that causes discomfort to animals.
Four more days!
