1st post

Ok, so my friends J and L suggested I create a blog once I'm in Paris. I figured it was a good idea because that way I could talk about things such as apartment hunting and other fun getting-used-to-paris things without sending basically the same email to a million different people. The blog will probably only last a few months, b/c hey, who can keep up posting day after day???
Probably not me, but I'll give it a try.

You're probably wondering where the title "The Sound of Bubbles" comes from. Well one day one my way to work at the corner of 6th Ave and 23rd St, someone was selling bubble makers and hundreds of bubbles were blowing in the air. At the same time, the timer on the walk/don't walk was going off, a "beep beep beep" sort of sound, which I had never been aware of before. For some reason the bubbles and the beeping sounds got mixed together in my subconscious, and whenever I'm at that corner and hear the timer, I think of bubbles. I thought that "The Sound of Bubbles" would be a good name for a short story collection. And there are many things which cause me to think "hey, that's be a great idea for a short story". But alas, I know I will never write a short story, much less a collection, so at least I can have a blog with the name.
