1 month countdown

Selling off all my worldly goods to random people on Craigslist is actually quite liberating. I'm bringing my snowboard, my bike, and some clothes with me in June. Everything else is up on the auction block.

Pointless post. Just in dire need of some hardcore barbiturates* for the next 7 days while my life careens towards graduation, hopefully getting my visa in NYC on Monday, moving out of Philly and major subsequent downsizing, taking what is left to France... and towards this stupid surgery. At least I'll have some fun morphine posts to keep me busy when I've exhausted my abc.com options...as well as the stockpile of 5 new books I've collected for my 2 weeks in bed. The Ava Gardner biography is fascinating...tons of dirt on the people responsible for the entertainment industry today. I heart reading. I'll also probably read Julia Childs, My Life in France a few dozen more times. I need her inspiration. I will not be a hopeless cook that only makes fires in the kitchen the rest of my life. I want to make bread and flambes and food that is edible.

If it requires me to stay an extra year in France and continue at culinary school. So be it.

*totally kidding about the drugs. Anyone that knows me knows I'm wayyy high on life as is.
