well...while i wasn't dressed crazily and wandering the streets of the castro...i was in apris for halloween...which how many of you can say the same? even better...two parisians told me i speak french well. this is a big compliment. and for the record the parisians were so nice to us! i did a bunch of touristy stuff. but my friends and i ( Read more... )

let's see...anything exciting. i've officially started actual school. i seem to have great teachers so far. it is just a bit daunting. today in class i just came to the realization that i am taking literature and politicl science classes in french...and to make matters all the more daunting i realized that as opposed to my language prep course ( Read more... )

ok...right now i am at my computer having just read the our first staged souls review which turned out a lot better than we expected. desi asked to use the bathroom like ten mintues ago and has yet to come out (most likely because she is putting her bra back on) and now we've just finsished an hour long conversation on how CERTAIN PEOPLE can't be ( Read more... )

now wouldn't you consider canned olives to be canned vegetables? because i know that when i went to ralphs they didn't seem to think so...hmm hmm canned corn, beans, artichoke hearts, okrah...WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE OLVES?!?!?!?! oh i know...in the condiment aisle...why must life be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO complicated?!!!
