I’m going to scream.

Not that I am going to smell so great after eating and making this but fuck it. I want this for all the meals.

I must remember to try this.

At a wine festival in Montemarte.  I love how the kid in the back is also playing an air trumpet.

This was the courtyard in my apartment building.  Every morning I would leave for school my neighbors would walk by and say, “Bonjour!” “Bonjour!” “Bonjour!”.  And every morning I resisted the urge to sing like Belle in Beauty in the Beast.

My friends and I got to kiss Oscar Wilde’s grave, which unfortunately has now been cleaned off and a plastic barrier erected to prevent people from doing this.   I think Oscar Wilde would be proud to still elicit controversy today.

Here is a picture from the top of Notre Dame.  I loved this view of Paris, because it was right in the center of the city and you could watch people bustling all around.  Also the gargoyles were fantastic!

Today I am feeling nostalgic for my time in Paris, as I prepare to go on a new adventure to Cape Cod.  Here are a few of my favorites that I didn’t post previously because reliable internet was so hard to find.

This was the door to my apartment in Paris.  It was always one of my favorite things to see.

"My argument with so much of psychoanalysis, is the preconception that suffering is a mistake, or a sign of weakness, or a sign even of illness, when in fact, possibly the greatest truths we know have come out of people’s suffering; that the problem is not to undo suffering or to wipe it off the face of the earth but to make it inform our lives, instead of trying to cure ourselves of it constantly and avoid it, and avoid anything but that lobotomized sense of what they call “happiness.” There’s too much of an attempt, it seems to me, to think in terms of controlling man, rather than freeing him. Of defining him rather than letting him go. It’s part of the whole ideology of this age, which is power-mad."
