mmm finally pretty in paris weather wise, though it rains frequently


on youtube: check out Marie Laforet "toi mon amour mon ami"
and "pour un flirt" by michel delpech

applying to jobs like mad in multiple countries, well see what happens

this last sunday i walked around the luxembourg gardens for an hour or two sooooo beautiful and i had sorbet here it was delicious

im really going to miss walking in the parks and streets on sundays here... and buying fresh baguettes pain au chocolat and croissants....the café, and of course speaking french all the time

I need to visit Scandanavia

It's always one of the first countries I get when people try to guess where I'm from.

Hmmm never really the US

on another note, i'm near a person that really has teh american accent in french ahaha its crazy

frenchisms

I can not tell how many times I have heard the following frenchisms:

"youpla"
"oupli"
"tak"
"hup" (strong p pronunciation, u sound as in "up/down")

seriously they do it ALL THE TIME. putting food down "tak", picking up something "oupliii"

im trying to think if we have english equivalents to this funnyness.

picture here is my fave store The Lazy Dog, which sells books, tshirts and whatnot, music. Lots of really neat things, cutting edge magazines for fashion, lots of graphic stuff.

Yay for job offers, boo for visa regulations

It's a beautiful sunny day, not super cold. like jacket/sweater weather I think.

Today I watched a chick for 5 minutes tugging her pants up. She did the move where you bend your knees and pull up while returning the the full standing position. She repeated this a few times, things were jiggling a bit too much. I felt like I was watching National Geographic..or Animal Planet.

Here we see some classy french literature
