invisible alarm clock
I’m on the hunt for a space heater. But I want one with an alarm clock, because I can’t get out of bed in the morning. Given the carrying capacity of my room, I can’t possibly provide for two new electronic devices.
I only have space for one.
If I get the space heater, it will be easier to get out of bed in the morning and I may not even need the alarm clock.
If I get the...

Marina informs Juliette that French girls will spend any amount of money on perfume and makeup.
Juliette says “oh well.” She doesn’t deny it.
Well what do Germans spend money on?
Cars and houses. Investments.

2011. 53 weeks. That's it?
When I’m stressed I feel the need to simplify. Immediately.
So I clean, but I clean by throwing things away, or getting away.
When I’m stressed I feel the need to get away, and to write.
So I run, or plan a trip to Europe… No. I’ll live in France with only four outfits, my perfume, mismatched china and mes livres, and I’ll walk through the market every morning to...
