Thats actually not true. I have yet to see/smell any one person who has been simultaneously smelly, scarved and looked like someone I know; this is more of three posts in one.
1: Vienna is Smelly.
I've been on an almost constant mission since I arrived in Vienna to find deodorant. When I packed the only one I had was the one I'd been using so I just brought about half a stick figuring I'd have plenty of time to pick some up here, right? WRONG (again). I've tried about 5 stores at this point and the best I've been able to find is travel sized women's deodorant of the solid variety (I'm more of a Old Spice clear-gel guy). The countdown has begun and if I don't find some soon I might have to start worrying.
2: Vienna is Scarved
There are a lot of people in Vienna who wear scarves, which is fine by me cause I kind of like 'em. I "only" brought 4 so I might have to in search of more. Hopefully I'll find a Scarf/Deodorant store.
3: Vienna has Doppelgangers.
Fact.
I feel like I've seen at least 20 people who elicited double-takes at the very least because they look like people I know from home. And I'm talking people from high school, trinity, family friends, kids from the camp I worked at. And I know that the more psychoanalytic among you might just simply assume that I'm seeing people I WISH I was seeing to put it simply, but I've seen people who I don't really know or even like that much so I'm not inclined to agree.
In conclusion, Vienna is overrun with Stinky Scarved Doppelgangers.
PS. I remembered today how much I liked Okkervil River's "Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe" from Stage Names. (click to listen. Any of the numerous play buttons should work)
