I can't get to sleep. probably because last night I went to bed at 4:30 and woke up today at 2:00. the past few hours I have been wrestling with myself over whether I should have a late-night snack, specifically, Newman-O's (the mint variety) that I bought this afternoon.

so I'm a working Parisian gal now. my internship is okay. the work is fine, it's just that from 11-7:30 I'm in a small office with just my boss, staring at a computer screen. and she mostly talks to me in English. not that I ever thought producing would be a good line of work for me, but this week has pretty much convinced me that it's the worst ( Read more... )
