The Gentlemens’ Haberdashery

I come home on WEDNESDAY.  WEDNESDAY. (more…)

My replacement passport arrived today.  I will certainly be able to come home on time.  Too bad I paid almost $100 for a passport only valid for six months.  How lame is that?

I don’t feel like killing my server totally, so I uploaded these videos to YouTube. *waits for GG to complain about jumping on internet bandwagons* (more…)

Today was pretty much the worst day since I’ve been here. As some of you may know, I accidentally ran my passport through the wash last Friday before Paris. Now I regale you with the tale of how that mistake cost me more than $150 and I still might not get to come home next week. (more…)

I went to Paris last weekend. It was, in general, wet. Seriously. It rained pretty much the entire time I was there, and between entirely non-waterproof shoes, long draggy pants, and only bringing one change of socks, my feet were pretty miserable. Also, it was cold. However, I did manage to have a decent time. (more…)

Seriously. Especially Murder McStings, who fried himself in Liz’s lamp. Check it out. (more…)

The Swiss apparently believe in ridiculous feats of engineering. Like building roads halfway up 4000 meter mountains, and building dams even higher up. Note to self: hiking is serious business. (more…)

So last night was the first time in what seems like forever that I didn’t sleep alone. She was warm, ridiculously affectionate, astoundingly adorable, and had gorgeous eyes. Unfortunately, she doesn’t speak a word of English, and I don’t even know her name, but that didn’t seem to matter to her. She was there all night, and was still there when I woke up in the morning. Needless to say, I’m pretty pleased. (more…)

The keys they made for us didn’t work. And now some chode stole my desk. I grow increasingly upset. On the plus side, the first task assigned to us was completed yesterday, so at least I got something accomplished.

Photos from work. And a few from the barbeque.
