countdown

the countdown begins. three days til i'm back in the good old state of California. as per usual when something is about to change in my life, I can't sleep. nerves are getting the best of me. I think its a little understandable given I'm supposed to fly home, move into a new apartment, run a half marathon and launch three new campaigns at work, all within the span of less than a week. channeling this years motto of AC, RU and FB... what's the worst that can happen?

especially numbers 1, 5 & 10

on that note... time for sleep

reunions

reunions... are among the most exciting and precious moments in life. i have quite a few coming up, each and every one of which makes me feel giddy whenever i think about them. first up: schwester! Heathrow will not know what hit it this Sunday. TD is making a coincidental 5-hour stopover (thanks mama!) in Heathrow on her way to Munich this Sunday. needless to say after two nights in a row out, I will be out of commission and ready for some greasy hangover food and a lot of schwesterly loving. Only a few days after that glorious reunion, I get my mama back. and my frenz. and my apartment, and although we haven't met yet, i think we are going to like each other quite a bit...

so, to all those i have the precious pleasure of reuniting with next week, and to those who i wish i could, goodnight from London, I love and miss you all terribly.

a little goodnight song

Can you whisper

As it crumbles and breaks

As you shiver

Count up all your mistakes

Pair of forgivers

Let go before it's too late

Perhaps they are not stars, but openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines upon us to let us know they are happy.

life is too short for sorrow

you may be here today, gone tomorrow

sunset on the Thames, 9/11

and the sun sets the scene

while the rain misses me

and all the time i'll be growing

growing up beside you

paolo

things I love today...

London's freak rainstorms
(especially the ones that have a little thunder involved)
Leaving all doors and windows open during these freak rainstorms
Running along Regent's Canal to Regent's Park
Running in one of these London's freak rainstorms
Cooking with FB in her lovely kitchen
The end of another long Monday
This song
etc.
