look at meeeeee

"here we are at the barrrbe qqqqqq this is what happens when you have a feeewww look at you look at youuuu (look at you)"

lol

that is a good song...

uhm...

so i went to the eiffel tower and forgot my camera which is entirely in character but still somewhat inefficient lol

but it was nice...kinda lonely...but only cuz i didn't have a cd player. lol i definitely wanted to go buy myself but i kinda forgot you have to wait in line for hours...lol

well this is pretty much my last entry on this side of the ocean...

well...not pretty much...it kinda IS actually...soo

i feel like i should have something to TIE IN or make profound sense but i dunno

did i forget to tell you my grades? i think i did...

i got an A+ in history and an A- in francophone film and lit...

yay

uhm

so that was nice

i wish i had someone to eat dinner with! lol

i'm not sure what to eat...i might go to a grec place cuz it's just so emblamatic of my neighborhood lol

does that seem stupid? i dunno i guess i'll go see what the plats du jour are at the tabacs around here...

lol

x_x

how silly...my last night...

i was gonna go out to my bar but i don't really think i want to...lol it's more than an hour metro ride to go drink a cup of coffee by myself...lol

it's cool

hmmm

well i hope i get a good in-flight movie. that never seems to happen. i always just skip them lol. hope i don't get jet-lagged. i've never had it...don't need to start now.

hope my bags aren't overweight...

!!!

bye ;_;

bad luck

yeah so i lost my metro pass this morning. how stupid. i have so much running around to do. this is not cool.

i guess i must've dropped it while i was carrying that box of stuff to micefa.

;_;

so now i'm reduced to toursity looking purple tickets...

i dunno what i'm doing this afternoon either

i don't even feel very motivated

i think i will probably hit the mcjp, grab coffee at my bar, go to the eiffel tower, and...i dunno i wanted to hit up this bakery i like for some cookies to bring home but i dunno if they'll make it in the heat...

esp cuz i'd have to go NOW

and have them in my bag through all the rest of the stuff

i guess i scrap that...i could just get not as good ones from the bakery around here i guess...

hummm

yeah i need a snack so blah

grr

this day isn't going very well. haven't gotten the e-mails i was supposed to get...

well anyhow i should get out of here since it is my last day...i should be doing something...

dunno what tho o_o

oh laaaa

eek! we are all packing and the like.

prettttty weird.

finally had speed rabbit. didn't get anything exotic though which is fine. it WAS good tho that is for sure. chorizo rocks!

today i saw douches froides (cold showers) for TWO euros of course. it was better than i thought it would be! i really liked it. in fact i'd rather see that again than madagascar (this came up cuz that is what everyone else saw...i already had seen it ne)

but then we walked and walked for pizza

i shopped today

and not much else lol

creepy that tomorrow is my last day.

gotta go home and clean i guess.

...

: /

the day before the day before

i'm leaving in two days o_o this is alarming

in other news i saw two movies yesterday. In Good Company, just because I couldn't resist, for TWO euros i think i'm allowed...and then Mon petit doigt m'a dit...which is a French adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel...it was ok but I'm not sure I understood everything.

Today I think I'm just gonna try for one because I really have a lot of crud (that i don't want to do, i might add) to get done around my house...like...give kim everything. i really hope she will just take it. lol

in fact if she would take EVERYTHING that would make my life easier tomorrow!

i would also just like my dad to kno that we are going to do laundry when i get to nyc lol

anyhow i guess i have not that much to really say...maybe i'll come back later...i kinda want to eat this sandwich now...

a quick note

so there were two film festivals and i mixed and matched TO MY ADVANTAGE

it's not four euros but only two per movie

sooooo

that means i can see four instead of two!! :D

lol

i'm such a geek

i WILL eat speed rabbit pizza before i leave!! i really will! wednesday! i KNOW THIS deep in my soul! just not tonite cuz the nearest one is too far.

...

oh i do so love

ok so last night AFTER i got stood up and had really good penne with seafood and listened to some jazz and called Steve and watched Charade with some friends i had this crummy idea to stay up and see the sunrise and go on a walk.

i mean

it was with all good intentions that i deprived myself of sleep and took the metro out to les halles and walked all the way to the freakin' gare de lyon because i couldn't find anywhere to eat.

i had: bread with butter and apricot jam, a croissant, a mocha that didn't taste like mocha, and orange juice. this is a very french breakfast.

it is also good.

it is also a lot of bread.

after this i was just ridiculously tired.

but no i did not go home i went to the bois de boulogne because i thought maybe i would wake up and feel like wandering around.

needless to say i gave up.

i got home at 9:30 this morning and collapsed until 3:30 lol

hmm tho charade was cool. that is such a great movie. it was funny to watch it being in paris tho. they go from st jacques to palais royal in one stop and it's not even on the same line ;D

tonite i'm going to go see a movie.

i'm worried about getting my apt cleaned up. just cuz i dunno what to do with extra food and stuff.

uhm

whoo i'm so hungry lol i still haven't eaten!

so this is a quick entry lol

that is all!!! o_o

encore les soldes

so the huge big sales started up again yesterday. second semester is interesting cuz you arrive during the first big sale and leave during the second. anyhow...this time i decided i would take advantage. a little shopping, maybe some more today.

DUDE tho there was supposed to be music at my bar last night so i got all psyched and ready to go and then there wasn't any despite it being advertised all over the walls...so i had a milkshake and walked (oddly enough) to port royal (so weird how paris is ONE place that is connECTed lol) it was roller blade night. i didn't realized they stopped traffic for that o_o pretty groovy tho. torrent of knee-padded skaters.

uhm oh before that i saw a too-wholesome anime about a cello player...

i dunno

just killin' time i guess

so tonite there is supposedly really going to be music so i will trek out there again.

well let's see and tomorrow there is no lunch club because i am the only one of us still in paris.

i mean i could have it by myself...but you don't really call that a club x_x

yeah renée left yesterday for london. there are still some people left...but not really ones i see ever. i keep trying to get in touch with emily and dann cuz we have ot figure out business with packing cleaning rent...they don't seem very concerned. whatever...

i wonder if the luggage stores around here are having sales too...

i kno all the leather jacket stores are lol

i need a banana or something ;p

uhmmmmmmmmmm

yeah i guess that's it for the moment...

ugh

I'm sick. And it's hot. And I don't feel good.

x_x

Not cool!!! I decided not to swim cuz I was cold for a bit this morning. It's really hot out. I'm hot now tho. Yuck yuck.

Not cool at all. Plus I don't feel like I slept at all. I know I did for a while, but maybe only like half the time I was actually in bed. Or two thirds. I was awake a lot is the point.

Anyhow this does not help me feel motivated to shop or move or think. My days require planning and I really would just rather not lol.

OH well.

Today there is a breeze but the weather is still slimy. We had a crazy storm last night with hail and stuff. Well...more like yesterday afternoon. I was hoping it would have more of an effect. Anyhow I sat out on my suicide ledge (of a window ne) and got rained on for a bit. That probably wasn't smart but I thought I just had allergies I didn't know I was sick. That's the problem I feel like it's all my fault. Like that cold bath I took for like an hour cuz it was so hot out...that probably could've ended before I got shivery lol. I'm stupid.

Anyhow I had to get out of my house yesterday. Things were just dumb. It started when the laundry facilities were busted so I had to go to a laundromat down the street. That screwed things up. The plans just sort of died from then on. In the end I went to go see Madagascar with Renée which I wasn't going to do here but oh well. It was pretty good and in any case was more cheerful than staying home. The cinéma festival is coming up so I feel like I should wait to see anymore movies until then so I can get a deal for it. You pay one normal ticket and then get as many as you want for four euros. This is not as fantastic as it could be but it is still a good deal. Even if you are a morning movie person like I try to be you still save almost a euro per ticket. I'm trying to think what I would even want to see tho. I should get a magazine to figure out what is playing. Dear Wendy is out...that looks cool.

OHHH I saw a real trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Not just a goofy teaser. What a sweet looking movie (pun definitely unintended...i pity us all ;_;) that little boy is so adorable! :D

anyhow my net time is up...gonna have to get some more cuz there is no way this is my last blog ;p but i can do that later...

ciao

perilous emptiness (and the prenostalgia round up)

yes it's as predicted. i had my coffee at my joint which was very nice. i kept it short today tho. coffee, pay, leave. hmm so tasty tho. they do it right.

so going backwards...seems to be the way it goes....so before coffee i walked from the MCJP to the place and haha. i didn't want to use the bathroom at the bar and the bathrooms at the MCJP were busy or the doors weren't closing or whatever u kno. so i had to come up with an elaborate plan which involved macdo and THEN it also involved going to a monoprix across the street and BACK because they didn't have toilet paper and i wasn't about to ask them to steal some napkins since i was already stealing the use of their facilities. funny hahahaha. it took forever. what a joke. it is really quite a nice hike down the six tho. i quite enjoy it. even tho it's hot out.

on crève de chaud!

lol i learned that today from the movie i saw (continuing backwards) before i studied japanese at the MJCP. i watched "grains of sand" about some high school kids in japan. drama, romance. stuff 'n stuff. but i guess the weather was a bit sweltering in the film as well.

they had another issue of Japan Close-up today! free things make emily smile :D (i'm sure they make all of them smile...so it doesn't even matter who you think i'm talking about)

i should think about dinner. i guess i did already THINK about it. but the problem is that i am cleaning tomorrow NOT tonite. that is what i decided. i will pick up everything and do dishes TOMORROW and not before. yeah isn't that sad? i don't even want to wash a bowl or a spoon. altho then again my spoon may not be dirty. if my spoon isn't dirty i could have cereal ;D either that or i will fry up some eggs ham and cheese into an omlette type formation. how silly.

swimming was nice today. i did four minutes of treading instead of three. not much of a difference, but it was still nice. just to be in the water was nice cuz it was so hot. a bit crowded but not as bad as sometimes. it's just annoying cuz there are kids usually now who like to jump and fool around and whatnot.

hmm i just a phone call from no one...

how...intriguing...

i hope they call back and mean it this time ;p lol

you know for a while i was feeling ok about my hair but now it is just becoming a bit much lol. i just feel scruffy. i saw a lady with hair just a bit curlier than mine but the same kind of lay. and hers was even kinda cut. and it just looked kinda scrubby x_x

hmm and a week from tomorrow i will be in nyc.

this is really starting to worry me.

: /

i kno i wanted to leave but i really don't anymore lol

i kinda feel like the way i did before i left mke. like i'm dying. i think you should only feel like you are dying so many times in your life. actually this is the thought process i had this morning on my way to the pool: i was thinking that maybe you are allotted only so many times feeling like you are dying before you actually do. and that is how stress kills you lol you run out of feeling like dying times and then you just do. i realize it's cheerful lol but so it goes!!! ;D no really tho cuz everything is ending...AGAIN. i guess that's how life goes tho. i guess i'll just feel like i'm on the other side of the world from my life is all....just for a while.

it's so funny tho cuz the way it was wasn't really "real" life anyhow. no one lives on student loans in real life. i can't wait to get out of practice mode. heh

you know i'm going to get home and not be allowed in jazz clubs lol that will be a killer.

*sigh sigh sigh*

i could totally live here (in the future). i've been trying to think of job options. it's just that to be in paris with my japanese i would probably have to be doing french things as well. unless i had a job i could do from anywhere. i wonder how it all works. i could always try for a spot at the MCJP lol XD

i was thinking today about how eventually i will be at home and i will be bored and will say, "ah but it's ok i will get up because i can go to the pool and hit up the MCJP for a movie and grab some coffee on the way home..." and then i will look up and remember i am in mke and for all intensive purposes none of that stuff exists.

...

ahh!

and i will be over there showing people the subway map and i don't know every stop but there are so many important ones. it's weird to notice when a city you visited becomes a city you live in. even when you have a map it is all a mystery until you really get in there and run around. beat your paths and whatnot. when i got here paris was so huge and the metro was confusing and the rer was even more confusing. now i got it down but i have to leave it all here!

ack! o_o

you see what i mean now tho about perilous emptiness! you get to thinking and it's noooo good lol i'm nostalgic and i'm not even gone yet! i plan ahead for everything i guess ;p

fête

yeah the big huge music festival was yesterday and i even managed to drag myself out for it. i had been planning on just staying home and reading the newspaper, but then the newspaper reminded me that there were about a bajizillion concerts going on, so it would've been stupid to stay home. I took the metro to Abbesses which is up in Montmartre, and wandered around. Everybody was out in the streets there were djs all over. Walked past lots of stuff and then found this band called (in french) "The Black Fingernails" They were pretty interesting. Sorta nuts. Bass, guitar, accordion, and sax. All of them sang too, which at some points really got on my nerves because one of them actually had really good voice and the rest were just kinda there. It got kinda theatrical too tho. They had monologues and stuff. I dunno. Pretty crazy it was. Good music tho. I was soooo tired. I caught the metro home and went to bed...

So today is wednesday. I'm gonna pick up some crud at the grocery store and take it home, then head over to the pool. Man my schedule has really just disappeared. My everything. The order in my life is gone lol. Look at my room to check that. Holy cow. Among other things there is now an antique bike in there. Emily was trying to sell it. I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do with it now. Maybe give it to Kim when I leave... Emily also left me a bunch of random food like pancake mix. I was going to try to eat MORE at home but I think I've been eating less. Less in general too. I'm kinda crazy I dunno really what's going on lol

The important thing is to remember to study some more. I need to do that. So I will. I will put books in my backpack and take them to the MCJP and after watching a non-takeshi kitano film, i will take them out and learn things like ~no you ni and -saseru.

Then I'm gonna go have coffee.

After that things get a bit...flexible. In other words, a normal evening, one without plan. Perilous emptiness!!!

Anyhow I gotsa jam out of here if I want to swim. I should probably eat something else first. I had a peach...

*falls over*

it's hot again.

movie and another hot afternoon

today i had a panino (yes o...i don't think there is a different tho) and saw les invisibles. this was an interesting film that i picked somewhat at random...i mean not really random. it was french. that was the object. the sound was really good. cool experiental music or whatever. noise to the uninitiated ne. hot french actor. that sort of thing.

i went at like 4:30.

then i came here.

i slept in today but at least i slept!

that thing last night was ok. i left early. the atmosphere just wasn't my thing. felt bad but whatever. i saw emily today before she left and i'll see her in nyc.

i'm less psychotic today. renée and i met up for a drink at the columbus café. smoothies are the greatest thing. that will be nice about mke. cheap smoothies lol

yez

or at least cheapER

oi it is hot out tho

i think this class i signed up for about caves will be good for learning how to better interact with my living environment. at least that's the way it seems lately. you have to have some spelunking know-how to get around my room. dark and hazardous in there.

easy to trip

oh that guy josh...his parents are from o-town. bizarre no?

we all had the song in our heads then...i can tell you that

normality

vs. reality

there was a picnic in this park. cool grass feels good as opposd to this puddle i'm in...oh wait...those are my clothes sticking to my back...

this morning at lunch an orange attacked me. i have neon specks on my shirt now. it's ok tho. kinda fits in with the shirt. it's busy enough.

there were fried calamari rings. i wasn't thrilled by that.

we ate popsicles in emily's room and listened to funky music. (triflavored popsicles: strawberry, orange, lemon)

and tried not to die of heat stroke.

i gave up on the french novel i was reading. i didn't care what was going to happen next. Now i'm reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime...that's it right? and that is much better.

mmm

this weather kills ambition. i would say "in one swift stroke" but "swift" is not really an option today. it's either motionlessness or the slog.

slogging through the sunshine.

it's the kind where you can feel your skin baking even when you have sunscreen on...and there is no breeze. you just kinda have to wade through the day.

i bought peaches and pears and tasty hummus today.

back when we i found the popsicles.

today is emily's last day. that's a bummer.

she said she has some friends she will introduce me to.

also a certain josh figure.

there is a party at a place tonite.

attendance is in the books.

hopefully we will walk home with the sun all down and things cooled off.

i love walking at night.

some people don't like walking tho...

I guess it really depends on your options.

how to have a good time

so i found a jazz bar. i found a bar and it is mind now and i'm LEAVING. how sad. i could definitely survive longer now. this place KICKS.

they have really good coffee and live music a few nights a week.

friday i saw clarinet, trumpet, and piano. plus they sang in french and english.

the piano guy was back again yesterday. he is pretty hardcore.

jazz is great.

lol

it's too bad i quit piano before i discovered jazz.

lots of people i meet ask if i play cuz my fingers look avid or something.

avid...i dunno if that's really the word i'm looking for but i'll pretend it will work.

uhm

atypical to say the least i suppose?

uhm

but yeah kickin' music and to repeat next week.

uhhhhm other than that not a whole lot going on.

410 instead of 464 (linguistics ne)

oh and the "big news" is that i actually don't NEED anymore credits. i will just be on advisory status which is fine. it will go back to normal after three consecutive semesters of solid full time. life is kickin'

or something.

today i think emily and i are duffel bag shopping. i was gonna go biking but i have to see how things turn out. in any case i have a lot of time.

no classes.

just big time oasis.

that's what paris is i guess

oasis of time.

stop the thinking

i dreamed last night that i fell out of an airplane. fell and fell and fell. it was pretty kickin' tho. i may have jumped, i don't remember, but i'm pretty sure we fell, or maybe we had to jump...dunno. me and someone else but then they disappeared. anyhow i fell for a while and it was pretty fun, cuz i was pretty sure i would survive, and then i landed in a lake. while i was underwater tho it turned into a swimming pool where there was this dude paddling around. turned out it was in his house so he was a little surprised to see me. i tried to explain that i fell out of the sky but you can imagine how that went.

so i've been trying to reassess my budget. i only have two weeks left. it shouldn't really be that hard. i'm just having trouble because i wanted to save enough for some rent but now i need 800 dollars for this summer school class so i won't have rent. i may not even have enough for the class! i dunno. i'll try i guess.

all the "last" things are coming up. like i want to hit the eiffel tower before i go. i think that will be pretty much the extent of that. i still haven't gone biking in the park. i want my last quick burger, my last bento (altho this might be negociable). i still haven't been to speed rabbit pizza! that might be tomorrow. and then i'd like to go out for one more "French" meal. of course i will have my last day at the MCJP but that will actually BE the day before i leave and it's free so...my last day at the pool will probably be that same day.

i'm also running out of toothpaste.

grr!

i should go call my mom and see how many dollars i have lol

dollllarrrrrz

they look so funny!! i saw some a while back and they were just so ridiculous. all the same size and all GREEN! yuck! and the coin sizes and colors don't make any sense...

i will have to get used to it again.

anyhow it's just starting to freak me out. not to mention this evil with school and credits.

speaking of which my hopeful list of classes (which should work i think):

summer: linguistics 430 language and society

fall: linguistics 341 5th Semester Japanese (i have to test in)
420 Introduction to Second Language Acquisition
464 Word and Sentence Structure
english 403 survey of modern english grammer
404 language, power, and identity
geography 128 Introduction to Caves and Caving

18 credits for my fall semester!! rar! i'm just gonna study like a banshee. i can't wait

plus these are all terribly pertinent things.

crud the place is closing v_v

moan 'n groan

ah yes well our exam was today. it is over! and we were fed! that was cool. falafel and such. great stuff. the exam...i didn't enjoy it. i hope i did decently at least. that's all i ask.

i can't wait to get back to the states and study!

i'm trying to get into a summer class...one i need starts the 25 (right after the big hatachi day!!! :D) so i was thinking that wouldn't be too bad. i will be able to movie in with xav by then supposedly. i gotta try to get a job, polish the japanese till it shines like the sun...that sort of thing.

i'm going to run out of takeshi kitano movies soon! i think i only have two more (as far as the MCJP goes anyhow...) dude tho i watched aniki today. sweet movie!!! jeez tho they only had the french dub which was DISappOINTing!!! V_V i'll take what i can get tho. wow it was good. i guess i'm getting used to gangster violence. that might not be so good. >_<;; heh what a premise tho!! yakuza in LA. i need to see the original version. the dub wasn't bad even tho it was a dub and i understood probably 90% of it which was sort of impressive, but it was annoying not being sure what language was really being spoken. cuz i kno there was english, japanese, and spanish and the only language they spoke in the dub was french except for two lines in one scene right before they shot some guys...

oh hey

up note

last night i finally got ahold of emily and dann and they said i had mail!!!

Thanks for your letter g-pa!!! Sound's like you had a kickin' birthday! :D

i guess that is all for the moment. emily went to bordeaux so i don't get to hang with her today. i might try to see what megan is up to. i haven't seen her in a while.

cardigan-ed

yeah i borrowed a sweater with a kitty on it

today i woke up at 8 and had a nice happy bowl of banana creme pie cereal (I believe I've elaborated on that wonderful recipe already...)

then i went to renée's house and we sorta went over our notes for the exam tomorrow.

after that i went to the pooool and got hungry.

emily and i had lunch again at the crous and then we went to a japanese grocery store. she didn't have time to come with to the MCJP tho cuz she had papers to write.

i went tho! i watched another takeshi kitano movie, about a deaf-mute surfer...it sounds sort of deranged doesn't it? it was good tho heh

they had transformed the lobby into an arcade@_@ they had like four or five machines of that donkey kong drumming game. i didn't play tho.

laaa laaa

things are ok i suppose

morale is medium nostalgic and it's also raining so that doesn't really help.

but i think today is going well. emily walsh is hardcore. i'm really glad i met her. we're gonna try to get together while i'm in nyc. she said we should go to china town :D it bites that she is leaving on tuesday! we've been hanging out a LOT and soon i will be back to the lonely! x_x nah i should survive.

uhmmm


i'm hungry!

lol

the plague

that's all that is left to happen to me today i think. or maybe get hit by a bus...but i digress. this morning it took multiple hours to accomplish one load of laundry. the machine decided it would be fine to count up numbers instead of down minutes and it also thought it would be nice to just wash my clothes interminably without rinsing. eventually we had to stop it and flood the floor cuz it wouldn't drain. that was a pain. then we had to mop. they better return my three euros. anyhow we had to start all over in another machine. just kinda switched and put no soap in on a cold cycle since they were already soapy quite hot. something was shredding too...made a big mess. i think it was the inside of my sweatshirt. uhmmm and school is messed up. i'm so sick of thinking about it. grr and well emily and i watched "crybaby" last night which was ok. depp as deviant juvenile lead singer jail breaker...who cries "one salty tear" uhm her friend was there too. and we had various visits from people interested in buying her bike or cd player. we had lunch at the student resto today. broccoli, "rustic" fries, sausage, and a peach. oh and some tomato. and a bit of bread. very well balanced meals they serve over there, but probably not all that healthy despite the fact heh. cheap tho ne i haven't been in a while. it's a good way to get meat tho, since you don't have to bother buying it or cooking it for yourself by yourself in your lonely studio. lol well by the time i got done with micefa etc it would've been two hour travel time for one hour reading time at the MCJP so i decided to skip it. i suppose i will have to get myself to study at home. and i think renee and i are studying for our exam too. and actually i think emily and i might check out some other movie. since i mean she has them on tape so it's free and all. in the funny little tv room at the res. hum premature periods. because completely sentences just aren't worth it sometimes.

do yourself a favor

and not in that snotty bitchy jerk way you know like, "do yourself a favor and get a haircut!! freak!!" lol more like REALLY do yourself a NICE kindly friendly wonderful favor that will make your life easier and increase happiness all around. One of those. In fact, give yourself lots of them, as many as possible! I mean it!

Today I gave myself a few favors so far. I let myself sleep in a bit more to catch up, I went swimming finally, I bought a tuna sandwich for lunch, AND I got this handy internet account which if used prudently should last until I leave, saving countless handfulls of change, which tend to add up to a hefty sum of euros. I suppose that was a run on sentence to end all run on sentences, but I do believe it was warranted.

as for the afternoon, to my surprise, it is passing rather swiftly. and who needs capital letters anyways?

i also paid the majority of the rest of my rent. something got screwed up there. i need to talk to people and figure out what is going on with my deposit etc. one lady said i could put it towards my last month's rent and the lady today told me i had to talk to that other lady and didn't seem to care that i already had. my if i had orders signed in triplicate...*wishes she knew the paperwork schpiel from hitchhiker's...*

is that how one spells schpiel?

i guess i'm not going to be bothered to look it up...

the religious fanatics were out today, with the beggars and the fake gold sellers. yesterday when i got home i was super tired ne but i opted for sensory overload instead of a nap and went to the market. they sell some crazy stuff in there. i walked ALL the way down. out into the burbs. can't say it was really that worthwhile, which is why i don't do it often, but it wasn't detrimental to my healthy or anything lol

loo loo loo

well now that i have this internet deal (a nice brisk walk from my house) the updates should be more regular...which note, does not necessarily mean more interesting. i will, however, try not to let them become LESS interesting.

that is all!!

i wasn't expecting a naked guy

in the play today

it was threeeee hourrrrs long and i really didn't understand much. luckily they had summaries of each act in the program. in french still, but i sorta could follow with that. boy tho i was really tired.

man life has been good tho. i hung out with the third emily friday night. we had indian food and saw the movie Papa which I KNEW was going to be wonderful. emily is cool. we seem to get along pretty well.

greg and i did sushi and a french movie. i couldn't really follow. kinda like the play today. trouble following things. the problem tho is that both were very literary. no one talks like that!! arrgh! lol

so it goes

dinner club went well too. i didn't realize chris was leaving!!! he's off to eastern europe and i had no idea that was so soon! good thing i saw him.

hmmm

tomorrow it is back to the pool. i have been busy and my excuse is avoidance tactics lol but still. i need to go swim! and so i shall.

uhm

well maybe that is all

i guess

*yawn*

i have a life this weekend!!!!

how exciting

greg and i are hanging out on saturday and sunday is the molière play as well as lunch club which as been postponed to dinner club.

thrilling!

boy tho i was tired this morning. when you don't excerise you stay up all night talking and not sleeping muscle it gets flabby i guess.

as long as that is the only one!!! ^_~

i should swim tomorrow. i think this cold is wimpy enough that it would not be a detriment to myself to shiver a couple times if the pre-shower isn't hot. the other day it was cold. grr!!! *minor rage*

also...i realized that i know the kanji for kitano (as in takeshi, the theme of viewing at the MCJP. today was hana-bi) i just learned it. they are the kanji for north and field or realm...that is sort of interesting! i have to say i felt really cool when i noticed...

i have to say tho, that i felt really uncool practically falling alseep over the amalgamation of buddhism and shinto today. i'm gonna have to start that chapter over. too sleepy!!!

and i think i've been sitting on this non-chair for too long. my neck is dying lol x_x

a month till i'm back in mke!!!
