making up for lost time, apparently

Yeah, this really happened: I just completed my second consecutive day of working two jobs with an hour and a half break inbetween. We're talking about twelve hours of work. Eight in the beehive and four or five at the restaurant. My life continues to operate in extremes. Then my mom tried to tell me I should be working twelve hours a day all the time.

I nearly cut the bitch!

And I want to at least realistically have some time to write, read, excercise and I'll be able to afford to land in Austin by the end of October so that's all grand and I need...to stop writing this.

I'm having a really intense queer/stoner moment in that everything that is being said on Celebrity Poker Showdown is like sooooo totally gay. Phil Gordon just refused to answer on TV whether it was perhaps not a wife that he was looking for. And, I mean, he's really cute. He's a poker genius. And really tall. Maybe he's also Canadian? Call me! Maybe I'll go on a nude-picture liquid diet and prepare the complete stalking package?

Ok, and, yes, you caught me. I'm obsessed with watching Celebrity Poker Showdown. Watching it brings me untold joy. And for fuck's sake, I can't believe I've never noticed how cute Phil Gordon is.

yo, you commented on mine but didn't update yours? like so whatever.
so strasbourg.is.like.so.beautiful.

i'm not sure about the night scene versus nantes, but the beer drinking is plenty, and it's actual decent beer...not just stella.

the city has so many different things there, and it is so well situated for access to the rest of europe. berlin is definitely within easy reach, as well as the rest of germany. i was in the southwest of france before and i just felt so muc more isolated from the rest of europe...not so in strasbourg.
this last time i was an assistant it was between grenoble and strasbourg, and grenoble won out mainly because the university responded to us and we were able to sign up, and the uni in strasbourg did not respond.
i haven't been to nantes, so i can't really give you a good comparison, but my instinct is to tell you to try a different area of france and get another perspective. i've lived in paris/in between bordeaux & toulouse/and Grenoble...and all three were so different (and yet all so french) that i'm glad i experienced each one. if you went to nantes you'd still be in bretagne (basically).
just my two cents.
now fucking post!
