Shaping Up

That happened this morning and now I look like a kid wearing my momma's office pants. Ha!

Alas, Pittsburgh

Finally I've made it home.

Wow, where the hell and what was I doing for 6 months?
London<-->Oxford>Amsterdam>Paris>Lyon>Nice>London>DC>
Atlanta>PITTSBURGH.

Got here Sunday, took social calls all day. My friends treat me like a princess. We went to Harris's for frozen mimosas.

on the receipt:

11 @ 7.00

There were only 4 of us...

Kicked it in Andrea and Varun's new gorgeous palace. 2 balconies. Yum.

I got an apartment! I'm moving literally 100 feet away. I have a huge front porch.

Here's to one more year of rolling out of bed and into class.

I can't believe you don't write down your music!

Also, my favorite young designer's collection sucks ass but her costumes are still leginamatic.

#101 well hot damn

I'd wear these shoes.
And hate myself for it.

Or these, good for street-walking.

I bought a variant of these in Paris at Guerrisol because I'm fabulous.

MARIAH CAREY

Soo,
2 days after having met Manu Chao I'm on the train to my gate at Heathrow, on the last car. There are about 5 other people in this car.

Foremost,

MARIAH CAREY!!

We stood a few feet apart and I just listened to her talk to her handlers. It was wicked. She's tall. And pretty. And soft-spoken.

I was, hm...surprised.

Got into DC (not Atlanta, unexpected change of plans) last night and as soon as Rex and I spotted each other at arrivals there were screams and tears and bear hugs and I threw my luggage on some unsuspecting little boy.

So now we're sitting on the couch watching some Jewish movie OnDemand while the rest of our nation's capital goes to work. I'll be in Atlanta late tonight--no rush.

This has been the longest journey!

One month:
8 cities,
4 countries,
2 continents

I got culture beaming out the ass!

GO PENS!

Dear Detroit,

Aha ya burnt!

_____________

hell yeah the Pens are going to win the Stanley Cup 

I hung out with Manu Chao tonight at Island Records

Then Notting Hill Arts Club after a month-long hiatus.

Good night London.

Go Pens!

Peace The Spork

Tonight I kicked it with my 2 aunts, uncle, and 2 cousins in South London. It was a blast, especially listening to Kerabo's endless cavalcade of schoolyard stories. 

I revealed to a chorus of laughter,

"I'm scared of teenagers."

But live in this town for 6 months, and you'd be too.

My room is nearly sorted back to immaculacy. Tomorrow is my last night in this dorm-issue bed. Then I head to Barking Saturday morrow, then Heathrow Sunday morning and I'm in Atlanta Sunday evening. It's 90 degrees there.

I can't believe I did it. I did it and now I'm done. 

And until I can fill my house with live snakes, I'm buying this.
