Urban living, p.s.

One exciting thing I forgot to mention earlier: there aren't very many places in Basel to buy root beer (like, two), and my new house is super close to the most reliable and inexpensive source !! There are three cans chilling in my fridge for floats with the roomies later. :) Neither has has ever had one. Poor deprived Europeans!!

  1. Well, either you are drinking a lot of root beer floats, busy decorating your new room, or you are just out and out neglecting your blog.
    I suppose you could be busy with work. ;)

  2. Sorry, I was at camp this weekend. Friday I couldn't write on my blog because I was crouched behind a raspberry bush, watching twilight settle in the Jura mountains while guarding a flag against capture. Yesterday...similar story. In the hours I normally write, I was trying to teach a bunch of European kids how to play kickball. Later I was watching a thunder storm. And for the entire weekend, I had neither phone nor internet. So I think I have pretty good excuses! :) But nice to know you missed me.

If There Was No You
Brandi Carlile


When I see myself, I'm seeing you too
As long as I remember it
I'm feeling like I knew that
My jokes aren't funny
The truth isn't true
If there was no you

If you were my boat in the deep blue sea
I'd probably sink you down
I know I should have thanked you for carrying me
But for you I would happily drown

All along your way
The darkest night, the longest day
I know what to say to make you laugh
And nothing you could do could make me turn my back on you
When you're looking for a fight I'm your man
When you need a friend you got my hand

What I really mean, what I'm trying hard to say is that
I'm counting on you and you got me too
My secrets aren't safe, I'm singing out of tune if there was no you
If there was no you

All along your way, the darkest night the longest day
I know what to say to make you laugh
And nothing you could do could make me turn my back on you
When you're lookng for a fight I'm your man
When you need a friend you got my hand
When you need a friend you got my hand
You got my hand
