i'm (not) a publicist.: back to the realities of life.

it's been an interesting coupla days for me.

my trip was stellar. i did so much in 7 days, that i can say without hesitation that it was the BEST. VACATION. EVER. being able to travel around Europe with your best friend is something I recommend to everyone. Yes, Jill and I fought like mad a few times over random stupid shit, but hey we do that stateside as well. We traveled with her sister and her 3 friends, and we all got along famously. whispers of a possible trip on '08 abound...

highlights:

a 4.5 hr bike tour around Berlin with a stop 1/2 through at a biergarten, making an even more fun second 1/2!
seeing the amazing architecture of Daniel Liebeskind's Jewish Museum
a hostel in prague the size of my big toe (what you get for €40 a night!)
doing shots of absinthe, in one of the only countries where it is actually legal!
climbing up the steepest 287 steps in a spiral staircase to the top of Prague Castle for an unrivaled view of the city
seeing the crazy Raisin "Dancing" Building by Frank Gehry
Jill flipping her shizz on a narrow road behind a big rig in the middle of nowheresville Czech Republic
the lush green pastures of Austria set against the backdrop of the Alps
visiting Mozart's birthplace in Salzburg
walking through Dachau concentration camp outside of Munich, both a haunting and fascinating experience
Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest, Oktoberfest, Oktoberfest.
a 10-hour train ride through the night up to Berlin, sharing a cabin with the locals
Amsterdam's amazing canals, red lights and coffeeshops!
Going the Anne Frank House and seeing the history in front of me

Like I said, it was an amazing trip, and there are some pics below...

I have been trying to reconnect with friends, both old and new, I think it's important to do so.

Chris Saunders has moved back to town, and I couldn't be happier. I've missed him for the past 3 years. ACC in LA and I had our moment in the sun, which has now set. He's a great guy, and I hope that we maintain communication. Hey, he moves to NYC in a year, you never know...TA and I are going to make an attempt at a friendship, and as of now, it's going well. He is very special, and I am hoping that we can make this work. I'm sure that it will take more effort on my end, but I'll work it out, it's worth it to me. I met a nice kid last Friday. He seems smart and fun, and is as big of a Pushing Daisies fan as I am...which by the way is an AMAZING show, and you need to watch it. We're meeting up on Sunday, i'm definitely looking forward to it. And he blogs. Big plus.

Some of my besties and I are attempting to band together to help a friend. he's in a bad place and needs some serious help. we may have drifted apart, but it's time to put the differences aside and help save a friend from himself.

The seasons are slowly changing, we are all moving on. some for the better, some for the worse, but we are all moving. bodies in motion stay in motion.

All of us at the Berlin Wall
