die Sehnsucht
As I wrote earlier, Husband and I had decided to go to Panama in the Fall. I really felt drawn to going somewhere where I could use French or Spanish and we’d love to try somewhere new. We were set. Then several weeks ago, someone wrote me asking if a friend of theirs could email […]
sans queue ni tête
C’est assez naturel que j’ai finalement choisi de m’immerger dans la langue française. Depuis aussi longtemps que je me souvienne, j’adore les films français, la culture, l’art, et bien sûr la cuisine… mais principalement, j’aime la culture française de la philosophie, la sexualité… Toujours, je suis obsédée par les films d’art spécialisés et les films […]
nous mangeons
Three day weekends are, in some ways, harder than regular weekends! (Harder to recover from, that is.) I haven’t posted any pictures in awhile or talked about places around Seattle. So here’s a small (très petit) sampling of things we ate this long weekend! We went to Parfait, bien sûr, which has been our absolute […]
mes chansons préférées des “éditeurs”
Ooh la la, c’est vraiment difficile de choisir mes chansons préférées des “Éditeurs” (the Editors). Très, très difficile de choisir cinq ou six chansons. Hmm. Mais si vous ne connaissez pas leur musique, voici un peu de chansons pour vous.
(the) Editors
J’écoute d’Editors depuis 2005, quand ils ont fait leur premier CD, “The Back Room”. J’adore la voix de Tom Smith et leur musique, leurs paroles. C’est bizarre de voir quelqu’un que j’ai écouté pendant 13 ans. Mais l’Editors sont très, très importants pour moi. He estado escuchando a los Editors desde 2005, cuando hicieron su […]
all girls write
I have kept a blog, in some form or another, for the past sixteen years. (Both my “blog” and the concept of “blogging” have changed quite a bit in that time!) I’ve had my own website for even longer, because I was a web developer. The “blog” was created because I had decided, after a […]
voyageurs / viajeros / travelers
¡Hemos estado viajando mucho, recientemente! El mayo pasado, estuve en Berlin durante un mes, la navidad pasada viajamos al País Vasco (en Francia y España), viajamos a Santa Barbara un mes después País Vasco, y fuimos a Palm Springs / Joshua Tree in el marzo pasado. We’ve traveled a lot recently! Last May, I was […]
fin
Il y a deux matins, j’ai soumis ma demande pour obtenir mon diplôme! Je flippe, un peu. Et maintenant? Two mornings ago, I submitted my application for graduation. I’m flipping out a little. And now? En fait, j’ai beaucoup des plans, donc… je ne suis pas stressée par “et maintenant”. In fact, I have many […]
more scenes from the desert
You definitely get to see things from a whole new perspective when you return to sites seen with kids. The Nugget loved climbing and all the wild rock formations (Skull Rock!) and the giant cacti. We also stopped to see the Cabazon Dinosaurs which, I didn’t find out until after is actually part of a […]
The Desert, Coachella Valley: Salton Sea, Slab City / East Jesus / Salvation Mountain
Over my Spring Break, the family and I went to Palm Springs. Husband and I had been there before – pre marriage, pre kid – and had good memories of Joshua Tree and hotels with hot springs. Having returned a decade later, I have to say that Palm Springs itself is underwhelming (though staying at […]
le courant de conscience: je lis, j’ai lu, je lirai / leo, leí, leeré
I used to read an extraordinary amount. When I was a child, I would always ask for several books for Christmas, and my mother would always oblige and wrap a tall stack of books for me to find under the tree. She did this, buying me a pile of books, knowing that I would immediately […]
