Bastille Day was rather unremarkable, hence my not posting until three days later. I turned 28 quietly and uneventfully, but I did at least wear bleu-blanc-et-rouge and obtain some pastries from the French bakery in town. And I got some cool presents, yay! Among which an awesome coffee table book of Antarctica with gorgeous photos from my parents ( Read more... )

I commenced my 27th year with a rather Wednesdayish flair. But it was still a good day, in a quiet sort of way ( Read more... )

I turned 26 whilst sitting on the plane at the gate at O'Hare in Chicago (yes, I know my precise birth minute and even factor in time zone differences...).

OMG so tired. My bed is calling me and begging me to go to sleep.
