Apparently, it's been quite a while since I gave myself permission to do a short entry, and, I think I stupidly told someone I'd be at work early today, so here goes:

If you're looking for a quick way to feel European, the best way to go about it is to find a nearby bakery, buy a baguette or some other form of bread, and then stick it in your coat pocket while walking home with a song in your heart and a spring in your step.

You can feel free to pretend that your name is 'Pip,' or 'Hans,' or 'Lisette,' and you can pretend that you're walking down cobblestone streets, on your way home having just had a liter of stout in the local pub after a long day in the sausage factory, but seriously, the most important part of all that is that you stick a long piece of bread in your pocket.
