weee- we've been in paris for... 3 days now- it is really a crazy place. what's really crazy is that their key pad is just slightly different than ours? so if i stqrt typing like iù, used to; ze get so,e slightly odd zords; no§ aurgh! it can be very annoying, like the fact that it just took me 30 seconds to look down and find the ! key. but, all in ( Read more... )

too much to cover. unfortunately, we didn't have access to internet while we were in ireland staying with josh and carey. brett said before we got there "i hope they have internet" and i said "of course they have internet- who doesn't have internet in their house these days?" well as it turns out, they just moved and haven't transfered everything ( Read more... )

we're ok post-london tube-bombing. pretty surreal experience, though. got up this morning, went and had toast, eggs, pastry and tea for breakfast, then walked down to the tube station to start our day and were surprised to find it closed with lots of people in front and 2 people standing telling everyone that there had been a power surge or ( Read more... )

it's may right? so where is the sun?! where are the mild days to while away the hours outside!? i'm tired of winter and it's crappiness. no wonder all i want to do is sleep lately. or maybe that's because everything that is currently filling my days feels so pressing. even though i know i have enough time to get it done just the fact that it all ( Read more... )

i am listening to ani- knuckle down for the millionth time. i just listened to the lyrics of "sunday morning" for the first time. they're awesome- so sweet and simple. i love how she can incorporate songs like this with other songs filled with complex metaphor and/or political statements. just thought i'd share ( Read more... )
