got a light?

2008-06-30T19:12:35Z

I just lived a moment out of Rent. Only without the crackheads and AIDS and homelessness. A very cute boy just rang my doorbell and asked if I have a light. He held out a candle, and I lit it, thinking that it's a shame he's most likely using the ...

around the world in seven days

2008-06-25T13:03:29Z

For the past three weeks I've been in Oia, a small town on the Greek island of Santorini. More specifically, I've been living and working at Atlantis Books. I've had a fantastic time, and have tons of pictures of the fun: fires on the terrace, jum...

Today is my saint's day. So I want presents. I don't care if I'm Jewish. Gimme stuff. For free. With ribbons on it.

one month later

2008-05-16T22:01:29Z

I'm now back in Paris, having arrived Sunday morning. And it's so hard. My mom had a major stroke, with no warning. Five weeks beforehand we were hiking over waterfalls in Morocco, and now . . . I don't want to be too specific, as my mom is a ver...

. . .

2008-04-16T02:11:43Z

Sunday night, I got an emergency call from my father in New York. My mom had been admitted to the hospital, and I got on a plane Monday morning. By 1:45 pm, I was at my mom's side. I don't want to go into details, or explain the story a million t...

home, yummy, home

In exactly six days, I will begin my descent into the New York City area. I can't wait. The past month has been a crazy rollercoaster of highs and lows. I've gained hope that I might be able to stay, and gained frustration at the way things work. ...

oh, baby!

2008-04-11T18:36:06Z

There is still all sorts of fall-out from the fire the other day, including my possible eviction and other fun topics. But I'm honestly so completely drained right now that I just can't talk about it. So I'm going to write about babies, instead. ...

Stop, drop, and roll

2008-04-09T21:41:45Z

Holy crap. I have had the craziest day ever. I had a whole post about babies planned, and I'll still write it, cause Dante is just too cute to ignore. But then my neighbor's apartment caught on fire. I was taking a nap, and then lounging in my pa...

Update: my camera is not so crappy, after all

2008-04-06T23:51:28Z

Okay, so I fiddled with the settings a bit. Obviously I need a tutorial on what my camera can and can't do. I'm sure it's capable of more than I think, although it is a bit old by now. I set it to manual, low light, and slowed the exposure way dow...

out my window

2008-04-06T23:17:16Z

Right now, it is snowing in Paris. Huge, fat, white flakes are falling from the sky. This may not seem like a big deal, but it never snows in Paris. Also, it's April. Last April we were all in tank tops, sunbathing in the park. This year, not so m...
