ESCRR: Paris Edition
It's weird to have a Paris edition of the ESCRRs, since the "C" stands for Chicago, but there you go.
Cafe MarlyWe committed a cardinal sin of international travel and took a nap as soon as we got into Paris. So much for dealing with the jet lag. We are learning that the sun rises late (around 8:30 a.m.) and sets early (around 4:00 p.m.) in the ( Read more... ) -
Another five . . . late.
"Kick off your Sunday shoes," from fridayfiver:
1. Do you work hard or do you take the easy way out?
I'm at the age where you can't take the easy way out anymore.
2. How's your day going?Well, it's 6:00 a.m. and I have to work on administrative stuff for my orchestra. I would probably otherwise use this time to catch up on work I didn't get to yesterday, ( Read more... ) -
Le cinq de vendredi
"Hide her away from the rest of the world," from fridayfiver:
1. When is the last time your phone rang in the middle of the night?
As a non-morning person, I do not differentiate between the middle of the night and extremely early morning. Let's just say that Austin's dad has figured out that we are definitely at home in the extremely early morning.

The Friday five is back!
From fridayfiver:
"The road less traveled"
1. What don't you understand?
How boys all know how to make sound effects with their mouths. How do they do it?! How do they know how to make bazooka and exploding noises? How do they all know how to do the Donald Duck voice and the water faucet dripping sound? I'm fascinated.
2. Name someone in your life ( Read more... ) -

Wow, I'm so glad LJ hasn't closed my blog yet.

As expected, I am unable to sleep. I swear to God, I only slept 10 minutes before I woke up again.
Sheesh. I plan on listening to the latest PotterCast to see if that gets me to sleep. -
The first ESCRRs
OK, I think it's time to get the Ellen Sung Chicago Restaurant Reviews rolling before I go to any more new restaurants and forget what I thought about them. I'll make the first ones short and sweet, since I need to get this party started, and because there are four of them.
Addendum: I should note that while these restaurant reviews are in the ( Read more... )
