two curly-headed tumbleweeds blew into town
Because I don’t want you to think that I spend all of my time here pining for Gregory and banging my head against the wall while waiting for Gregory’s green card, today I’m going to tell you about a night out on the town I had here with my buddy Lil’ John. (Btw, Lil’ John is…

migration
Now that I’ve finished telling you the tragic tale of, my road to nowhere, I had planned on topping it off with a happy ending; my time in Paris with Gregory (I did get there eventually). But due to a surprise distraction this afternoon, my brain has wandered elsewhere, so instead of Paris, it’s random…

Celebrating San Antonio
I’m not a huge fan of crowds. I’m not phobic or anything, I just really don’t like them, like really don’t like them. I dislike them so much that I tend to skip lots of fun events because I don’t want to deal with hundreds of people smushed together and the long lines that accompany…

Sara Louise v. Pizza
Have you ever seen Man v. Food? It’s like a travel-food show where this guy eats his way across the U.S. He’s a little nutty, but very entertaining. He ate a 42 inch pizza once. That’s right, 42 inches, and he ate it right here in San Antonio (I say ‘right here’ because I’m just…

it was pretty much the happiest of days
On that happy day (last Saturday the 24th), I donned my Toulon rugby jersey. Normally, I don’t wear sports jerseys, but this was a special day… Mr. London was competing in his second Heineken Cup Final and since I couldn’t be there like last year, I wanted to lend my support, even if I was…

Riding in Cars With Boys
Howdy mes amis! Ça va? I know that I’ve promised Paris posts, and I pinky swear, they’re coming, but I’m finding it a tad difficult at the moment to get into any sort of gay Paree mood while I’m hanging out with two Irish lads 24/7, and filling my days with rats and snails and puppy dog…

Easter Weekend
Easter weekend was one of those times when my new life felt a million miles away from my old life. Not in any sort of better or worse way, just extremely different. Whereas last year was spent having a quiet Easter in Auvergne with French Maman and French Nana, this year was spent entertaining and…

observations
{got salsa?} It’s been just over a week since I’ve been back in Texas now and all I can say is… actually I have no idea what to say. I’m pretty much swimming in culture shock. This is something I wasn’t prepared for, like at all. When I was younger, I traveled back and forth…

boo-lated
H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N ! Obviously, this message from Fifty is a little late thanks to a burnt out Mac charger. I was without my laptop for a few days, and when the new charger arrived a couple of days ago, Fifty was not in…

Some Down Home Texas Goodness
How do you end a trip to Texas (and the subsequent blog posts)? With some down home Texas fun with friends at the rodeo (Did that sound folksy? I was going for folksy.) The county fair and rodeo was being held Labor Day weekend and just around the corner from my mother’s house so of…
