out of office: in europe for two weeks

London.
Paris.
Rome.
Restaurant/cafe suggestions welcome.

Won't finish Motivations until after I get back, sorry.
Missed my self-imposed deadlines.

I should be sleeping.

I've become a master packer now, thanks to moving around all last summer and going back and forth between Philly and Jersey.

2 Peter 1:5-8.

Analyzing people is fun. Having myself analyzed by someone else is also fun.

High-schoolers in Georgia start school tomorrow. Sucks.

I need to fix my class schedule for the first time in my life.

Book club TBD for fall with a friend. Exciting!

Haven't written this way in a while - this is how I used to write my notes on Facebook. Funny how time changes things. Or maybe formats do?

It's raining hard outside...I like listening to rain inside my house, knowing that I don't need to go outside at all. So different from listening to rain inside my dorm room, knowing that I need to go out at some point.

Isn't that the same feeling with reading fiction or watching documentaries or listening to speakers from mission-field countries? Knowing of people's problems and issues and worries and hurts, but not necessarily having to do anything about it. Or even feeling like you have to.

Colossians 1:10-12.

I think there is a mini-moth flying around in my room, but I've turned off all the lights and I'm typing by the light of my Macbook. also known as, too dark, too sleepy, too uncreative to care.

I am anticipating crazy photos from my trip. Or, at least, hoping for them.

It's all love, all love.
It's all of my stupid love.

The unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit...

God knows what He's doing.

if you read this then:

-paris: david leibovitz, chocolate and dessert master, has a page about tips for ordering in france as well as restaurants and whether or not they need reservations. idk which days of the week you'll be there, but there's a page in case you don't know what to do on sunday when things are closed. http://www.davidlebovitz.com/paris/ -- one he's mentioned a few times from his list is [l'as du falafel] and [breizh cafe]


-paris: i have NO IDEA how upscale it is but Pierre Herme is like the premier pastry chef of like the world. not really. but everything he makes looks GOOD. he has some bakeries around paris.

-rome: il gelato di san crispino. OR real pizza since you think gelato is too fluffy. but the only thing i'd like to see is if you go to the pantheon because it's just awesome, not for being an ancient worship place but for also having the largest freestanding dome for a while.


i love/missed the way that you write facebook notes.
