I think this video is absolutely precious

( Translation and randomness )

I really wonder sometimes if the people working at the checkout lines in grocery stores get a kick out of what people buy. Like today, I went to Carrefour, and the only reason I went there is because the little store closest to us doesn't have the kind of phone cards I want, so I had to go all the way out, even though I didn't need to get anything ( Read more... )

So, today was apparently Notice Emily Day in France.

I know that at a quick glance I do look pretty french - brown hair blue eyes is very common, and I tend to dress fairly well and wear heels most of the time.  For the most part, that just means that I get asked a lot what time it is or other random questions from people.  Buuutttt today was ( Read more... )

My cold still isn't getting any better and I've had quite about enough of that one, so I ate a clove of garlic this evening.  All I have to say is, French garlic is quite a bit stronger than anything I'm used to at home, I don't think I will be trying that remedy again any time soon :/ (for those who don't know, if you have a sore throat or ( Read more... )

Apparently while they were excavating on campus for the new foreign exchange building (which I will never get to use, buuuu), they found a huge unexploded bomb from WWII O____o  So tomorrow everyone within a 800m radius has to evacuate while they dig it out.  On the one hand, I'm not too concerned, they have all kinds of safety measures.  On the ( Read more... )

Well, it's a little dark and damp chez moi orz

I needed to do laundry DESPERATELY since the last time I did it was in the middle of December, but every time I'd sign up for an appointment I'd miss it T_T (once when Cat was sick and I went to the hospital with her, once this weekend when I didn't realize that you had to buy tokens in advance and the ( Read more... )

I DESPISE THE SEARCH FUNCTION ON EGL WITH EVERY FIBRE OF MY BEING

I don't think I have EVER been able to successfully find posts I have been looking for, EVER. And not even, oh, has someone ever posted about this? searches, but actual posts I KNOW exist (my own, for example...let me tell you, it's not keywords I'm lacking when I could retype the ( Read more... )

I had another dream last night where the location was the very beginning of the Circ, just after Susie Wilson bypass.  That is the fourth time that I remember dreaming about that road, in either direction.  I never have repeat dreams, and it’s certainly not like anything exciting ever happened there haha.  You go up the bridge, pass by some rocks ( Read more... )

It's a pretty decent connection, too!  Not as good as my regular one at UVM, but better than my wireless at home.  It gets stuck really easily, though, which is too bad because I'm a superfast!clicker and always have a bajillion tabs open at once, so I have to keep ( Read more... )

Still no internet.  Seriously, wtf.  Even though they gave me my password and account name, probably because they just haven't set it up =_=  Why even bother if it's not ready yet?  And orientation today was a little bit of a joke, although now I at least have my student card and am signed up for the last health insurance thing I need to do.  But ( Read more... )
