All I want for Christmas…
… is to go back to Paris next year. I have already begun making plans. The budget is made. The hotel is already chosen. And I have now just purchased the Lonely Planet Guide to Paris for my e-reader.
Gallifrey One Bound
I just booked my flight to L.A. for the Gallifrey One convention in February. I’ll be arriving in L.A. around 3 p.m. on February 17th and leaving at 7 a.m. on February 21st. I booked the hotel for me and Rachel over a month ago (which is good, as the con rate blocks sold out), so we’re…

I have not had real Italian since I lived…
I Think Big Ben Missed Me
So yesterday was a busy day. I spent the morning taking a tour of St. Paul’s Cathedral. There is a sort of church theme going on here, is there not? It is as stunning as Notre Dame in a completely different way. I was again moved by the beauty within. And the stories about how…
