Paris blegh weather
Its rainy and cold.
I've been doing the babysitting thing. Have a couple meetings this week I hope they go well.
I'm doing a lot of "networking" which is fun for me cause that means going out on Saturday night til whatever time in the morning. But always the job search in my head.
Dad- ive been reading that book that you bought me. a lot of stuff in it i know already but i have learned a few new things so far!
mom- new computer yet???
joey-- hows the house coming along?
terry- did you take the puppy with you back to SA?
i do love it here really. i WILL find a solution to stay.
love you all, hi to the grandparents for me!

There's a place in France....
So Yay it's not as cold here as New York was. Thank goodness I was so cold there.
Today went grocery shopping and got a baguette and some camembert cheese. Definitely so much better here than in the US really just incredible.
Wondering what excitement the weekend will bring. There will be a bit of babysitting but of course hoping to see some friends and keep meeting people. Non-crappy people.
Last night stopped by my local pub and ended up making friends with a bunch of crazy Londoners who have convinced me that I need to check out the job market in London not only because of the exchange rate between pounds and dollars but also because there's a market there for what I am degree'd in.
We'll see. London is colder and foggy-er than Paris is...not to mention they don't speak french there. And at times I don't know what theyre saying and it's supposed to be English!
OH well. THis week: meetings with American Apparel and VICE.
Next week (depending on how those meetings go): start applying to places in London.
Oh- and the "famous" song that the english kids were singing throughout the entire night goes like this, "we're on the piss and we're having a laugh.." and you repeat that like 4 or 5 times. THere's a reason we won our independence from these people- they would be no use in a war the way they drink. But they do like GW Bush "great lad, strong convictions. bloody great"

Paris vs. New York (or rather, banlieu's vs. billboards)
So now having been both places I'm going to list some of the differences.
Metro:
Paris has it way cleaner and smoother ride wise, but New York's run's all the time, which is great at 3 or 5am.
Businesses:
In New York they're covered in stupid ads on every building, but at least they're open everyday (including Sunday). Not so in Paris with open stuff is few and far between on Sunday (I think I've complained about this before)
Food:
It's delicious in Paris, but you can get it delivered in New York at 4 in the morning (not to mention all sorts of other things).
Clubs:
No smoking in both cities. However half of New York doesn't follow this rule and in Paris it's pretty strict
Culture:
Manhattan has died a bit culture wise because of how expensive it's gotten. But it still rocks. And Brooklyn rocks as well.
Paris rocks in certain areas but there's not a noticeable, obvious "hipster-ville" quite like Brooklyn that just wreeeeeeaks with cool, poor, edge of fashion/art/literature kids who always know where the cool stuff is happening.
Stores:
Everything is cheaper in New York. Especially with the currency conversion rate.
Languages:
Lots of foreigners in both places, but NOTHING is worse that a thick Jersey accent coming out of a pretty girl's mouth. What a way to ruin it.
Beauty:
Hands down Paris is way more aesthetically appealing than New York. Not to mention less dirty.
Off to Paris tonight. Yay for 8 hours of flying (not).
