mon anniversaire!
Oh hello!
What's this, you say? TWO posts in ONE week when you've ignored us for months?!?
That is correct. But not just BECAUSE.
Today is a grand day - perhaps one of the most important of the year!
It is my birthday!!
It's been a pretty good year. I've neglected this blog but I have been keeping busy with various hobbies and betting circuits.
As my gift to you, Not Jooolie has helped me compile photos from my years with her and Jooolie.
But Henri!, you say, it's YOUR birthday! Shouldn't I be giving YOU a gift?!
Yes! But until I get you check in the mail (or any of the things on the list below), I will be just that awesome and gift you first.
If in fact you ARE independently wealthy, I would love any of the following gifts:
- Juliette Binoche
- A ship - preferably Galleon sized. I will provide my own crew.
- The entire Dean Martin Show on dvd
- a slice of apple pie (with Dutch crumbles on top!)
- a small chalet in the South of France. Preferrably in the Bordeaux region, where I am from. Vineyard optional
- a pin-striped vest
- and just for the hell of it, Marion Cotillard
on to the photos!
Myself and Not Joolie. Sometime in 2005
This was taken some time around when I first came to live with these two dames (2005). This is me and Jooolie after she decided to cut off half of her thumb and had to get stitches put in. I was there to comfort her. AFTER the stitches were put in, of course. It's terribly hard to get blood out of my fur.
On the road, somewhere in Indiana. 2005.
On the biggest bed ever in Chicago, Illinois. 2005.
Me and Not Jooolie on Easter 2006. We look innocent but let me tell you! We are always up to no good.
Looking out a porthole aboard the Queen Mary, March 2006
The Fighting French! This was during our World Cup Final party in July 2006. Jooolie is the most fun to cheer with because she's totally crazy. Jooolie isn't actually French but that other girl that IS partly French was cheering for ITALY! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!
As punishment, I drank some of Not Jooolie's rum when she wasn't looking
Me and the AMAZING footballer Zidane! We're about to butt heads. We miss Zissou!
Me and Not Jooolie at Christmas 2006. I think I was pointing out a map of Port Royale in our new Pirate book.
Someone must have insulted my honor because she then had to hold me back from using the new sword I had just received.
March 2007. A lab coat I received for my birthday last year. It's an excellent disguise. I bet you didn't know it was me!
Sometime in 2007, I believe. This is me fresh out of a treatment at Chez Renee. I'm on the phone with my bookie, Vito. I hear he opened up a casino in Las Vegas. Maybe we'll stop by next week!
Well! I hope you've enjoyed this tiny retrospect of my life the last couple of years. One day perhaps I will show you even older photos from my various adventures all over the world! That's if I ever find my First Mate, who has the majority of the illustrations from our Pirating days. Photos are in my safe box in Switzerland and I'm not planning a trip there any time soon.
I wish you all well and bid you adieu. For now!
