Randomness and fun
Me with some guy's glasses at Temple Bar in Dublin
Everyone outside watching the EuroCup from their restaurant tables in Amsterdam
Maybe April needs to get her eyebrows waxed...
And her lip.

I can never get enough of Paris
Last week in Paris I went up to the Sacre Coeur area. None of my friends wanted to go out, so I just hopped on the metro (listening to my French language CD's, I am working on my French). I forgot how much I love this area! Everything there is so damn cute!

Geneva
I went to Geneva for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it. Here are some pics.
The famous clock tower in Geneva
St. Pierre Cathedral
One of my favorite things to do in European cities is visit old churches and climb the tower if they have one. St. Pierre's Cathedral in Geneva was beautiful and had amazing views of the city.
I kept on wandering and found beautiful gardens and this wall dedicated to those who assisted in the Reformation.

Spiderman!
Two crazy guys climbed the New York Times building today. Thus making it impossible for me to get to work on the bus because the entire street was closed off with people looking at him, ambulances and fire trucks. So I took a gypsy cab with some random guy and paid $45 bucks instead of my usual $8. Grr...

Bikram yoga, or Sweat until you drop
Holy crap! I've never sweat so much in my life!
So last night I tried Bikram yoga. For the non-yogis out there, this is the kind where you do yoga in a hot room. A heated room, set to 100 degrees. I was pretty scared, having been told right before I left my house that it is worse than giving birth. I wasn't sure why I was trying it, other than I figure I'll try most things at least once. But I fully planned on hating it, and wanted to have done it at least once so that I could say, "I tried it and I wanted to die." That's the other thing I heard about it, it makes you dizzy, nauseous, and possibly wanting to die.
I went into it with very bad expectations. Most people who know me, know that I am not really a big workout person. I told my cousin Christine that I went running one day, and she asked if someone was chasing me. So I figured this kind of extreme physical activity would be too much for me. Plus I am not really a sweatter, I rarely perspire, but this, THIS was something else. Everyone in the room, including me, was soaked by the middle of class. After awhile, you are just used to being wet, like swimming. But the amazing thing was that I never wanted to die, or felt like I was going to. I just tried to focus, and rested a couple times for a minute if I felt dizzy. But I think I actually liked it! I felt great afterward, and will probably go again.
