The bells in France have gone to Rome!

Funny Chinese Sarah Moment. When Nathalie took us shopping last Wednesday, Sarah bought one thing, a bottle of vinegar, which she drinks by itself out of a glass. She opened the bottle the minute we got back to the lycée and took a swing right there in the parking lot, while Nathalie watched in horror, literally screaming, "Sarah, don't drink that! Sarah, that's vinegar! Stop! Oh, no! No! She's drinking it out of the bottle! Oh, I can't watch! It gives me a stomach ache just to watch!" (She then asked me if we drank vinegar out of the bottle in America, too.)

I've been meaning to post since Wednesday, but I've been busy lately. And I mean busy with unimportant crap, so I really don't have much to say, anyway. The lycée is giving us a three-day weekend for Easter, which is nice, and this morning, Madame Camus, one of the English teachers I work with, totally surprised me by giving me a little chocolate bunny as an Easter present. It is so cute that I'm not sure if I'll be able to eat it! And American Sara and I are finally starting to make plans for her trip here (hooray!).

The sun came out today, and I immediately dropped what I was doing and went for a walk. I initially headed for the train station to go to Crépy-en-Valois, the next town over, but then I realized I had forgotten my debit card and my carte 12-25, so I instead headed for the Villers-Cotterêts cemetery. I enjoyed about 45 minutes of sunlight and blue skies before the clouds rolled in again.

I think I have found a solution to the goat cheese and baguette problem. Today when I walked to Leclerc Express for my baguette, I also picked up a few kiwis, figuring that eating something cool and juicy with the goat cheese would take the edge off. It seemed to work, although my tongue is a bit sore from all the citric acid and Marlene said she was surprised to see me eating something healthy. Haha.

The other night I had a dream that a Piano-era Anna Paquin and a Chocolat-era Victoire Thivisol were making a movie together. I woke up disappointed that I couldn't see it.

I remember when you were younger you used to love kiwis and eat them all the time. Oh, that Anna/Victoire movie sounds interesting! I wish there was such a thing, I'd like to see it too. You know the Fanning sisters were supposed to do this movie called My Sister's Keeper, but Dakota said she didn't want to shave her head for the part (she was playing a kid with cancer), so Abigail and some other girl took the parts. Haha, in your face, Dakota! You're as used up as a 15-year old Shirley Temple and Abigail's stealing your life!

And American Sara and I are finally starting to make plans for her trip here (hooray!).

Hooray indeed! And yes, we can chat on Sunday, at 8pm your time if that's all good with you.

Hmph. It rather pisses me off when you tell me news about child actresses as if I don't know. I have Google News subscriptions to several of them and I probably knew the news about My Sister's Keeper before you did. I also know that "some other girl" is Sofia Vassilieva, and I could tell you what else she's been in.

P.S. I will be there today at 8pm my time to chat. And don't go comparing Dakota to Shirley.
