A Runner’s Delight. The running don’t stop til the break of dawn. Laquo; Baby Steps. It’s Not a Choice. I’m Still Here! October 18, 2014 by Ali O. Aside: as I type this, a neighbor is blaring the entire soundtrack to Phantom of the Opera. They started with track one, and on it’s gone; I am sort of amazed they – and no one else – is singing along. My mom asked me if I had been running lately. So I’m here to tell you the short answer is yes! Pop Culture Happy Hour! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Fill in your ...

I’ve hemmed and hawed for a duet of years on if I want to remain a vegetarian (feel free to read about the why I’ve been on the fence here). It feels good to decide this. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

The acupuncturist and I giggle together at moments like when I talk about existential panic that wakes me up at night and she responds with, “It’s fun! This is a puzzle we get to figure out,” and then realizes how that comes across. Dr. GI and I share a cold room where we each wish the other understood what we were communicating better. Me: “I’ve gai...8221; and...

Travel Angie: Oh, Right -- They're Communists
http://angiesommer.blogspot.com/2012/05/oh-right-theyre-communists.html
Thailand. Australia. New Zealand. Central Europe. United Kingdom. Japan. China. Monday, May 7, 2012. Oh, Right - They're Communists. Just after emailing my friends and fams yesterday about my plans to blog all about China while I'm there, Jon mentioned that China - like, the country - blocks this website. I will not be able to post while I'm there because in China, this website does not exist. In a barrage of questions to Jon tonight over gmail, this tidbit arose:. You will be taller than most. May 11, 2...

Travel Angie: Blonde Hair
http://angiesommer.blogspot.com/2012/05/blonde-hair.html
Thailand. Australia. New Zealand. Central Europe. United Kingdom. Japan. China. Monday, May 28, 2012. As you might have guessed, blonde hair is not terribly common in China. Like most countries that aren't the United States (and Australia), the vast majority of the country's population consists of people originally descended from that country. And since we all know what Chinese people look like, you can imagine that I was a bit of an outlier. It's true: I have blonde hair. Another woman in an elevator pi...

Travel Angie: 3-1-1
http://angiesommer.blogspot.com/2012/05/3-1-1.html
Thailand. Australia. New Zealand. Central Europe. United Kingdom. Japan. China. Tuesday, May 8, 2012. Ok YOU STILL CANNOT BRING LIQUIDS ON AN AIRPLANE. What is up with that? I really thought that was totally just a fad and it would go away. Its not, apparently. Planes are liquid-free for eternity. The only way you can bring liquids (or gels - what qualifies as a gel, exactly, besides sticky hair stuff? Which makes it sound kind of like an emergency. . OMG, she has a water bottle, call 3-1-1! On the TSA w...

They lisp (lithp) it every time. Which takes some getting used to. Grathias means thank you, not gracias. (It's spelled the same, of course, you just say it super lispy.). Me Mala. Barcelona. Good. We stayed in a hotel just off Las Ramblas. And made a reservation online the day before we arrived. Mala power...

Travel Angie: The Great Toboggan of China
http://angiesommer.blogspot.com/2012/05/great-toboggan-of-china.html
Thailand. Australia. New Zealand. Central Europe. United Kingdom. Japan. China. Tuesday, May 22, 2012. The Great Toboggan of China. The Great Wall of China. Was originally constructed in the 200s BC, though the wall we see today mostly consists of reconstructions that took place in the 1300-1600 AD timeframe during the Ming Dynasty. Side note - I love the word "dynasty". It sounds so rad. And majestic. And not oppressive at all. I digress. Being that we got a relatively early start, the entrance at the W...
