...for every event I was ever involved in (piano recitals to STL performances at Court Theatre); the t-shirt that all my 2005 Summer Lab Onstage campers signed; great pictures of tiny Dani and the family; Lab graduation; college shows; and ever so much more. It was wonderful. Best birthday present I could have gotten from her, hands down. And she just let me be me this weekend. We spent Saturday...

I was away from all of you for 5 days this week on business. It was a very busy week in Berlin and what I feel will be a very pivotal week in the companies history. As I fly over Germany and Switzerland...beautiful and it is hard to take my eyes off of them. When I do, I look down and I view a BIG WHITE castle that I know both Alex and Ava would be intrigued with. I vow to return soon with all of you.

...them was able to help and did arrive almost two hours later. We considered knocking on a neighbours door but thought we would tough it out first as long as we could as the neighbours we know weren't home and we didn't want to have to spend a long time in the other neighbours house with a toddler who is into everything -- especially since those neighbours are elderly and seem to have a lot of clutter...

...declined it. but just a while ago, i couldn't curb my greediness and heated up the chicken soup. enjoying a piping hot bowl of chicken soup with potatoes in a cool air-coned room brought such a comfortable warmth (pun intended). it simply does wonders! now, the only downside about being at home is that i have almost no control about snacking because there is always something to munch on at home.

So, there's a disasymbled electric power chair sitting in the middle of my living room. Oh joy. My parents and I are getting a two bedroom (probably next month) but they're staying in my one bedroom until... the quests are kind of fun too, even if the game itself is pretty simple. It's hillarious. Now I'm tempted to spend the money and get an Xbox so I can play part two, which I hear is even more fun

...and party poppers, and didn't enjoy having happy birthday sung to him, or having a cake, or having his day captured on video. Where I refused to spend any time in the company of my immediate family, left the ski slopes and trapsed around Chamonix by myself, searching for an internet cafe, or locking myself in the room containing ski lockers, having long phonecalls on my dads company phone...

44 WORDS:   Purchased car tabs ($93). Considered movie trip (Saw V) -passed to keep rearranging my rooms and books. Ate birthday dinner, solo, at HiGrade. Waitress was new, made me her very first chocolate...work. She also gave me a bottle of Andre' Peach Passion wine. Yum! ~ Rather than driving about, seeking ways to entertain myself on my birthday, I gave myself time to rearrange my rooms and books.

...in first-world countries feel so superior about anything. They feel sure about anything they do, because they are in their right...which is bullshit .   The root of the problem lies within the family itself. The family; I use that word in this context referring to the parents. Parents once again disappoint me in first-world countries such as the States. The way of education, and I am talking...

Hey! I have a working internet again! Yay! It's been a long week without it. And I have so much stuff to talk about that I don't even know where to begin. However, I'm willing to give it a shot! To start...forward to going back to work on Monday. Blech. It's been to long since I've had the time to sit down and journal that I feel like I'm slightly incoherent. Therefore, I'll say good night! Good night
