voila
ONE WEEK LEFT IN FRANCE BETTER SPEND MONEY . Shopping tomorrow! Possibly jazz concert in the evening if I recover from this cold. Then on Sunday, the Roquefort caves. And more shopping! Possibly for Roquefort cheese! (Seriously, I've been buying a lot of food-ish souvenirs. Four little jars of wine jam, a pack of Provençal spices, the cutest salt and pepper shakers EVAR, and cooking jelly that is 47% Merlot. Honestly, I bought that last item just for the novelty of having wine jelly that was 47% Merlot and I thought I might give it to someone as a gift, but now I think I will just keep it for myself.)
BELATED LIGHTBULB MOMENT . I had an "A-HA! So that's what she meant!" moment. In theater class, Ms Monsod was explaining to us that the puppet faces in bunraku, Japanese puppet theater, are so simple because its non-specific features in specific situations allowed for the audience to claim the story and characters for their own, to connect with them more deeply. A few days ago, I was like, "Wait, that's why people like explodingdog stick figures so much!"
SNOT . I am sick! Not cool.
