Lazy Sunday

Spending the day catching up on readings, important emails, and of course Desperate Housewives.  I also have a week long break coming up and I am trying to figure out what to do with it - right now the 2 big options seem to be to go to Prague and Budapest with my crew of American friends (and our token french guy) or go visit a good friend in Nottingham, home of Robin Hood. I need to make a decision soon so planes and trains stay cheap.

Its been a pretty good "normal life" weekend. I finally did the walk from school to my new place, making sure to stop at Ile St. Louis for the BEST icre cream in Paris. (Berthillon) On my stroll I witnessed a group of tourists playing with the funky playground equipment behind Notre Dam so vigorously that one of them got thrown off spinning disk. I shouldn't laugh at people falling, but this was a pretty spectacular trajectory. On Saturday I did some more exploring - Rag and I went up to the 20th to do some thrift store hunting and to discover a new neighborhood. 

Saturday night  was fun, but I managed to get myself into trouble due to running my mouth off. After a couple glasses of wine I may or may not have directly insulted a group of girls from Queens by calling them boring. I need to watch out for that. 

I also realized that i really dislike the St. Michel bar district - I know i am being pretentious hating on the tourist spots and calling fellow Canadians boring but to be fair, the tourist spots are expensive and crowded and discussing the new floral line at Aritzia when you just arrived in Paris IS boring.  (says the girl on episode 22 season 5 of desperate housewives.)

ok. time to hide my computer in Rags room and return to my 20 pages of reading on the history of French ideology. The things i put myself through.
