Wasted days
Last night at approximately three o’clock in the morning, as a small green trolley of inscrutable intention slowly cruised down the train tracks across the road [me: "So if you don't mind me asking, whatcha doin?" man standing on back: blank stare of disbelief, probably trying to assess my hallucination/non-hallucination status. me: "whatcha doin?" man: ...

On the weekend, do as the Parisians do
Living and working in Paris means that I have been trying more and more to enjoy this beautiful city as any other native Parisian would. On my hour long lunch breaks (it’s essential that the French have time to sit down at a café) I take my lunch to Place René Cassin and sit amongst ...

High Tensile Fencing
For the past two weeks I have woken up at 6:30 each morning, put on the same pair of jeans that I had worn the previous day ( by putting on yesterdays jeans each morning you quickly find yourself wearing the same jeans you wore not just yesterday but also last week), fried up a ...

Free museums, ninety degree weather, and conncoll reunions..
Hello ladies and gents. Another week gone by.

But unlike most other people doing a ...

Thanks to CISLA, I’m fortunate enough to spend the summer here working, doing ...

How roommates are similar to the police, or at least citizen’s arrest
As the resident Boston blogger, I feel obligated to address the slap in the face we received in the form of a basketball loss by our locally-marketed corporate entity, the Celtics.

Institutionalized Boroughism
