interlude

i will catch up on blogging some day. in the meantime, here's an update from the present! the tyranny of eurail has ended (i.e., my pass expired) and i finally had the freedom to spend a weekend doing nothing in zurich. except for laundry and su doku puzzles. people often think i'm kidding when i say i have ocd issues, but i don't think many could match my feat of 16+ hours of su doku in two days, including one 9-hour stretch with no breaks! sigh.

i'm not much of a turkey eater, but i'm feeling sad this week about missing thanksgiving at home. it snowed today, the first snow with big fluffy snowflakes, and i loved it. coat, scarf, hat, and mittens have all come out for the winter, and i'm surprised that i'm kind of enjoying the cold. (maybe because it's not that cold.) but i have LA weather on my google home page, and i wouldn't mind being in 82º LA right now either, puttering around at home and being fed in unhealthy quantities by mom.
