frenchman FTW!



i will admit something. this is the first year i probably didn't understand the point of valentine's day. my reasons are three-fold. firstly: you'd be really hard-pressed to find a day that xav and i don't see each other. secondly: i'm pretty sure the concept of going out and celebrating has another name for us -- it's called "weekend." and thirdly: i'll take this happy, functional relationship with no valentine's over a mediocre relationship that hinges on valentine's day to make up for what we lack the other 364 days of the year any day.

as for the photo, well, that was my gift. you latch it to a specific fence -- in this case, one very close to the charles bridge in prague, and it's supposed to mean you'll be together always. sort of like what marriage means, only not.

savvy? good.

side note: it is 3 degrees outside, and i am beside myself with glee. damn you, prague.

home (not) in my range

the idea of a move to the usa came up this weekend, among other things including paris, montreal, and shanghai. it's a long story. but i will tell you the truth, my friends - i did the math and that is, by far, the most expensive option.
