Being tall, feeling small

It's been almost 3 months since my last update. I did some fun things, indescribable really, then maybe not-so-pleasant things happened, and in between these were the quiet everydays.



Vietnam and Cambodia, Winter 2010

It's been four months since and I'm still checking the weather... Merci

Back in July, I was in Paris with my family for a couple of days. We visited Merci, the "concept store" whose summer trailblazin' through the blogosphere has since died down, although not by much.

My favorites (this is where I name off pretty much every corner of the store) were the long hallway of secondhand books, the ice cream counter, the furniture showroom, the mini-haberdashery, the children's wing, and--my FAVORITE favorite--the flower shop just outside the courtyard.

and then he gave me his to-go slice of cheesecake from the fancy office dinner

i saw my parents last night.

i told my dad i was doing a presentation on the (pharmaceutical) treatment of parkinson's disease.

he is a psychiatrist.

he prescribes tons of psychotropic drugs every day to treat neurological diseases like parkinson's.

i thought he'd be all into it all dad-like.

but instead he told me to look it up on the internet.

hahahahha...

dads!

or

oh, Dad!

break

i don't start class until tuesday. (hopefully) no' mo' going to bed at 5am after that.

break was dildos. the parts where i actually left the house were few but fun.

one especially dildos thing was getting a taste/reminder of how life will be when i move back home.
