You're in Paris; no one is going to rag on you for wearing a bag. If you were worried about that, I mean.

What accent is scariest to British schoolchildren?

Dalek.

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

[AugustWest]

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Dalek.

Why do you only have 40 cans, Toaster?

[Arachno-capitalist]

I need to buy some kind of small bag...

[jaydub]

I'm pretty sure the French police get upset about that kind of "American Essential".

[Choop]

get a briefcase. a soft-sided leather briefcase with a handle, at a secondhand shop. you can then carry all you need in a package too big to forget, but small enough to fit in a reasonable train station locker. also, it will be more than a souvenir if it sees paris with you.

[theinevitable]

choop-- that is exactly what I wanted, and the girls I am with told me that it had "no personality."

Today: "lightening tour" of the Louvre (mona lisa, venus de milo, winged victory), cultural survey of Belleville (pretending to be a real sociologist!), successfully had a salewoman think I was a french idiot instead of an american idiot (careful application of mumbling, using the few french words I do know, etc.), figured out how I need to stretch to make my knees stop hurting, found out the girls on the trip all thought i was gay.

it is always weird to me when people don't know/can't figure out pretty basic things. Like, there is a plaque, it has words like "freedom de Paris" and "republic" and "guerre (war)" and a name and the date "1944." So I said, "oh, it must be for a guy who fought the nazis during the occupation." People argued with me. What??

now is time to sit and drink water before dinner + nighttime fun.

You guys, it's raining, but there are literally no clouds in the sky. There are like two fuck*ng clouds, and they're not even grey. I didn't know this could happen. It's raining for like a minute every hour. It's freaky.

[Lister]

Today it thundered so loud it set off car alarms.  This is something that does not happen in San Diego.

Also today I got a home inspection on a house I am under contract to own soon.  Good news: nothing is broken!  Bad news: it needs a new roof in 3-4 years, and it's already got two layers of shingles.  Good news: No other bad news.

Soon: I freak out over writing my down payment check.  I hope.

Rain in Los Angeles makes me feel like a superhero.

Only Person Who Knows How To Drive Man!

With the amazing power to... know that you just slow down a little bit and be a little more apt to break instead of either driving like a gramma or driving exactly the same as usual and dying horribly.

Do you live in Denver?

[Toaster]

No, California.

[Doc]

Today I'm going to have my first proper exam in like 2 years.
Totally not worried.

[Choop]

inev, goddamnit, what do these tarted up french bitches think has character? one of those multi-hued day-glo backpacks covered in sharpie doodlings? get what the fuck you like and damn everybody else. "no character." i guess they think indiana jones has no character! soft leather briefcase, striped scarf, glasses, and cigarette. the uniform of the international student.

GODDAMNIT

I am not sure I want the economy to be on that many stimulants. I am not so sure that worked out well before.
