I got my most ardent wish for this weekend: it was uneventful. Reading, sleeping, watching DVR’d shows, excessive tweeting… 20 Dec

Here in Westchester we got an inch and a half [of rain] in 24 hours—rather unprecedented for SoCal. 20 Dec

As predicted, after four straight days of heavy rain, the sound of rain falling is not as charming as it once was. 20 Dec

I want to go to Istanbul. I’ve wanted to for a long time but I really want to go now. 18 Dec

I love listening to the rain fall even after two days. It isn’t supposed to clear until Xmas day. Prolly won’t be as enchanted by then. 18 Dec

The android really wanted to make that the Gate du More. Which is kind of appropriate I guess. 18 Dec

And yes arriving in Paris at the beautiful light-filled Gare du Nord. Like stepping into an Impressionist painting. 18 Dec

The Historian: riding across Dutch countryside from Amsterdam to Bruxelles–YES, a wondrous green journey. My v. 1st view of Europe. 18 Dec

Mom and I are completely disconnected from Xmas this year. The good news: no shopping! 18 Dec

It’s rained steadily for two days. Light yesterday heavy today. 18 Dec

Also still watching ghost shows. I find them obscurely comforting which is just weird. What strange psychology is this? 18 Dec

Still loving Kostova’s Historian. Not reading much but love those stolen moments. 18 Dec

Do you ever wish you could hide out in the Bathroom of Life and hope nobody finds you? No, me neither. Just wonderin’. 17 Dec
