This is what I deal with on a daily basis...
Caller with heavy Indian accent: Hi, is this claims?
Me: no, but I can give you the number.
Caller: I don't have the number.
Me: I can give it to you - it's 505--
Caller: I don't want the number. Transfer me.
Me: I'm sorry I can't do that, but I can give you the number...
Caller: I don't WANT the number. Transfer me. Can't you transfer me?
Me: No, I'm sorry, as I just said I can't--
Caller: OKAY. Don't transfer me. Give me the number.

Freezer Burn on one of the Hottest Days in July
I made it my SUPER-DUPER TOP-SECRET mission for today to thaw the ice out of Laura’s freezer. Why? Out of the kindness of my heart and as part of my thanks to her for letting me crash at her apartment for a while. Also because I brought food back from Tristan’s freezer that I didn’t want him throwing out, and since Laura has a bar fridge, it doesn’t fit into the...

Just met with Kris about the company she started, really excited about the future! It’s looking positive for design work (if not my wallet)
It just occurred to me I never posted about London, the place I was looking forward to visiting the most. I didn’t have internet there (not for lack of wifi, but because my iphone stopped seeing wireless, which is a major pain when it’s the only connection to home) so I couldn’t post except from Bill’s computer, which I did once. The countryside was lovely, we visited...

Yeah, Iceland!!! →
Iceland’s prime minister becomes the first openly homosexual head of state as Iceland legalizes same-sex marriage.
Back in the US of A. It’s hot. 92 degrees outside, and probably close to that in this top-floor apartment. The weather was actually better in London, warm and sunny without being too hot. And it didn’t rain once! I miss traveling already, and I know the more I travel the more I will want to travel. The goal for now though is to find a job & a place to live, if only so I can save up...
Back in #NYC, three and a half weeks later. The weather was better in London.
In short: paris was better than i thought it would be, and bigger than i thought it would be. a lot like new york, but in french and with nicer buildings. We’re now in the south of france in Paguignan (pawg-een-YONH) and we were supposed to move up to Fontaine du Valcluse today, except that Tristan’s mom got a teensy bit of something with shellfish in her dinner last night and so was...
Brussels, baby! I had a feeling I would love this city, and I was right. It’s reputation is for gorgeous architecture & amazing food. What’s not to love?? The minute we stepped off the train it smelled like waffles (no joke) and it was sunny, and easy to navigate. Especially after Amsterdam this city is way easier to move through, even though the subway system is a little...
Amsterdam. What an experience. It feels like wenwere there for like 5 days, partially because we walked so much. (I need to stop here and just point out that it’s a good thing cities are so walkable, because we are eating SO MUCH food. I’d be fat as a dumpling by the end of the first week otherwise.) When we first got into the city, it was raining. We had about four hours of sleep on...
[NOTE: I wrote this post two days ago, on the night train to Amsterdam. Were leaving Amsterdam tomorrow morning for brussels, where hopefully I can have free Internet and post about Amsterdam… But for now, there’s this!] We spent the last few days in wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen walking around (in the rain) shopping and sightseeing, and this morning we went to malmö. Malmö is small...
In case you missed it, I’ve been posting to tumblr rather than blogger, since it’s easier on my phone. So if you want to read about my adventures in Europe so far, they show up on the top of my blog page in the yellow box, or at allegradesign.tumblr.com. I’ll try to post to my blog too, but the tumblr app makes it way easier to do that. Or just read the posts when they show up on...
Dag 3: around KBH
Tristan & I went to meet astrid & oliver today, but, either there was a miscommunication or something came up, because they didn’t show. Granted we were 25 minutes late (no bikes!!) but we waited around for about 45 minutes before we left. We stopped at the Kihøsk (aaaahhh!!) and itzi pitzi, and then headed over to the Carlsberg brewery. I think tristan liked it, i was sad the...
KBH Day 2
Today saw tris & I with a wonderful bakery breakfast, canal tour via water bus, walking around strøget andthen fransk hot dogs on the canal by islands brygge. Which, btw, I finally learned to pronounce! (It’s ISS-lands BROO-guh.) were going to a music festival thing tonight, and tomorrow is going to be vesterbro day.
I miss hopping on my bike and going places, the city seemed so much...
We made it!!!
I can’t post a pic right now, but let me just say I can’t even describe how much I love bein back in Copenhagen. After my first time in London (sleeping on a bench in Heathrow during out 2 hour layover) I finally got my head on straight, and no jet lag! We grilled by the canal with gry an two of her friends last night (meet & wine of course), then walked through christiania and the...
UP NEXT: 6 days in København; 2 days in Amsterdam; 1 day in brussels; 2 days in paris; 7 days in the south of france; 6 days in England.

I had a dream last night I was on #LOST (for real though, not on a TV show) and it was SCARY! Why is lost so scary in real life?!
what should i name my scale? I don’t even know its gender, but it recognizes me, keeps me motivated and rewards me by telling me I’m fit :)
