This is wonderful
Bill: As you know, l’m quite keen on comic books. Especially the ones about superheroes. I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating. Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn. But the mythology… The mythology is not only great, it’s unique.

The VISA!
IS!
DONE!!!
I went down to New York City last week for my second ordeal with the French Consulate. Considering the first time made me openly weep on the corner of 74th and 5th, I wasn’t really thrilled to go back. I’m sure any of the “Au Pair”-visaed nannies who walked by me that day would have told me to get a grip had they not adopted the New York City...
I’m currently on my way to New York City in the hopes that my meeting with the French consulate will not be a massive fail. By this I mean that I haven’t screwed up any of my paperwork, and that my labors will result in a long-stay student visa. If not, God help me.
The one thing I find truly taxing when I combine change with my increasingly neurotic demeanor is the ever-present...
The Sartorialist →
I’ve become infatuated with the Sartorialist, a blog which most are already familiar; the creator wanders posts photos of people and outfits he stumbles upon in his travels. Usually the stylist individuals he’s features are from NYC, Paris, or Milan. Not a huge surprise, considering the fashionable reputation the three cities have already.
Some girls at Skidmore have actually...

I just want to tell you that I looked up the distance between St. Andrews and Glasgow yesterday, and you know what it ...

Separation Anxiety →
I know Paris is great. I know this program is fantastic. I know that this whole experience will make me grow and discover things about myself and all that lovely coming of age bullshit I encounter daily as a slightly jaded college student. I know. I really do. I swear to God, I know.
But right now all I can think about the fact that I feel like a large insect is trying to escape out of my...

Soundtrack to a Summer Day →
My favorite 8Tracks update at the moment:
Cool breezes and morning sheets, stained sticky popsicle fingers, and warm nights spent outdoors. Its time for summer and i intend to greet it with open arms. (Another drunken night another drunken tune from Dan and yours truly enjoy enjoy enjoy.)

A Beginning
It seems a little improper to start this chronicle before I actually set foot in France; my date of departure is a little over two months away. I am, in fact, sitting in my house on an uncomfortable futon to which I grown fondly accustomed. The boy from across the street is mowing our lawn — I’m craving a rare NY strip steak with plenty of A1. It’s all pretty normal and American...
