Sunday, April 15, 2012. BED4 Day 14: I know, I know. If you're wondering where I've been, the answer is on one of those. Flying has really mucked my week up. What day is it, again? It doesn't seem as if it should be the weekend already - or mid-April, for that matter. But I did arrive home to easter eggs, cups of tea, and the cat, so it's all good. I also slept for 12 hours last night os jetlag hasn't caught up to me quite. Yet (Oh it will, it definitely will.). Posted by Nicola Balkind. BED4 DAY 11: Yup.

Tuesday, April 3, 2012. BED4 Day 3: Humpday. I always thought this sort-of cyclical uncertainty and reticence would dissipate over time, but it hasn't. How do you deal with writer's "block"?

Monday, May 24, 2010. I’ve been thinking - perhaps due to my recent reading of Stephen Fry’s The Liar. About the crossing-over of words between languages. Words like schadenfreude. Deriving pleasure from the misfortune of others) and zeitgeist. 8220;the spirit of the times/age”). Words that perfectly encapsulate an idea or a feeling in such a way that they are irreplaceable; no translation necessary. Je ne sais quoi. And the Italian prima donna. I live here: SF. The Art of Non-Conformity. Chris Guillebea...

Wednesday, April 11, 2012. BED4 DAY 11: Yup. So it turns out that attempting to blog every day for a month whilst suffering social media burnout is not a particularly wise decision. It has also been my last few days here. Other than that we've been hanging out, having a look at some flats online, and getting geared up to move. I'm excited to get moving - it's been a long time coming. Catchye next time, BEDA. Posted by Nicola Balkind. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Work: http:/ www. BED4 DAY 11: Yup.

@robotnic: BED4 Day 6: Gorgeous Bourjos
http://robotnic.blogspot.com/2012/04/bed4-day-6-gorgeous-bourjos.html
Friday, April 6, 2012. BED4 Day 6: Gorgeous Bourjos. Today was mostly spent eating sushi and watching baseball (though not at the same time). Evan and I drove down to Anaheim to see Angels vs Kansas City Royals. It was a pitchers' duel until the 8th inning when the Angels finally scored a few runs. Afterwards as we walked back to the hotel there were tons of fireworks, both from Angels Stadium and a few miles off at Disneyland. Shit's poppin'. How is everything going for you lot?
