This is why I can no longer live in California. Nobody dresses or aspires to dress like this. Taken by The Sartorialist, Paris, November 2007. Besides, there aren't many trees that change color here, either.

Happy Thanksgiving! Rather than dwelling on how Columbus and his loyal followers slaughtered and infected thousands of Native Americans, focus on being grateful for family, friends, food, and the like.
Today I'm thankful for:
My crazy family
Waking up to the smell of turkey
Martha Stewart's Thanksgiving recipes
A call from my sister in Scotland
Cheesy facial expressions and monster turkeys in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

My Favorite Things
Hello, family, friends and fans!
After three long years of being away (you may recall my "Lizzy the Londoner" blog), I have decided to return to the blogging world. Mainly, I want to keep in touch with my friends and family in a non-facebook-related manner. However, I also want to share successful recipes, crafts, jokes, quotes, great books and movies, and etc. Right now, though, I'll just give the Spark-Notes version of my life:
I'm currently in my second year of grad school at Cal Poly, SLO. I'm presumably studying English literature, but most of my time is spent preparing for the class I teach four days a week: Composition and Rhetoric/English 134. Basically, I win over 24 college freshmen, none of them English majors, with my wit, charm, and occasional media samples. It's incredibly draining.
I live with my three quirky roommates, Laura, Emilie, and Charlotte. There's never a dull moment and I love talking with them. Oh, and I also live with my darling cat, Kamilla. My roommates say I have an unhealthy love for my pets, but it could be worse... I'm almost positive.
Likes: Virginia Woolf, German Popliteratur, travel, cats, Shelties, nice coats, pearl earrings, symphony, sarcasm, musicals, clever stationary
Dislikes: Pathos without ethos and logos, pride in arrogance, the Twilight series and the rabid fans that devour it, snakes, writing papers the night (or hours) before they are due, drama, and awkward conclusions.
Bye for now! :)
