You type in your mile pace and it gives you a list of songs that fit said pace…brilliant.
Doing everything I can to motivate myself to start running again. Of course, it doesn’t help that it snowed this morning…

Day made.
Get it, girl.
Hunter Boots are on Gilt Groupe right now. I have a pair in green and I LOVE them. They’re half price and going fast!
Okay, let's do this.
I’m back.
Older, wiser, perhaps even marginally more interesting.

As well as an accurate depiction of how I feel today.
Public Service Announcement
In a brilliant move of utter coordination and total grace, I knocked my MacBook off our kitchen counter and destroyed the screen.
I took said MacBook to the Apple Store. The Clarendon Apple Store with the Genius guy who has The Most Beautiful Blue Eyes Ever yet prematurely gray hair, if you want more information.
The blue-eyed gray-haired Genius told me it would cost $700 to fix. But then leaned...
Interpreting Caselaw 101
“On the contrary, it appears that she went upon this carouse with respondent voluntarily and so continued to remain with him. Her entire conduct indicates that she had ample experience in such affairs.” People v. Beardsley (Supreme Court of Michigan, 1907).
What this means: That chick was a total slut.

True Story
I saw Zoe Saldana on the Metro yesterday, and she was super nice and helped this lady go through a turnstile who was having trouble, and I was right behind her and wanted to be all, “You’re ZOE SALDANA. You know CHRIS PINE. You’re in MOVIES.” But I played it cool instead and ignored her.
Anyway.
I think I'm ready.
Margaret: We cant wait to have you back in the states!
Me: I can't wait to BE back. I miss my neighborhood and my family and my homies and my air-conditioning and phone calls that don't cost $1.29/minute and good hamburgers and having a gym to work out in and a kitchen that doesn't smell like monkey pee.
Des Petits Mises à Jour (Little Updates)
1. I went to Reims this weekend, which is a little town in the Champagne region where pretty much all the major champagne houses are located. It was amazing, I ate probably the most decadent meal I’ve ever had in my life, stayed in an adorable hotel, and drank incredible champagne. More about this later. I needs my sleep!
2. My job is not very intellectually stimulating. I think tomorrow...
8. Shop les soldes.
This is actually way overdue, because les soldes (the sales) started a couple of Wednesdays ago. Basically, by law, stores can only put things officially “on sale” twice a year (for five weeks during the summer and for five weeks after Christmas.) During these sales, it’s possible to get amazing bargains, and as the weeks go on, stores discount more and more. The first...

Dépaysement: The sensation of being in another country.
La douleur exquise: The heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone you can’t have. Even a Sex in the City episode was named after it!
Chômer: To be unemployed, but because it’s a verb, it makes the state active.
Profiter: To make the most of or take advantage of.
Flâneur: As defined in the book Elegant Wits and Grand Horizontals, it’s “the...
9. Celebrate Bastille Day
Tuesday night: Concert at La Bastille
My friend Emma and I at La Bastille
The bal des pompiers - The night before Bastille Day (and on Bastille Day as well), all of the fire houses in Paris throw huge parties for the neighborhood. Everyone goes to drink champagne and dance. This is the bal des pompiers in St. Germain des Près. The line was about 3 hours long, but my friends and I cut the...
