25 Random Things...Not

My friend from high school, Artie, posted this article on facebook. I thought it was really interesting so I am posting it for all to see. I had been debating writing my own 25 random things list and I still might eventually even if it is just for fun and just for me. Anyway, I found this article interesting. I'm not sure of the credentials, but it sounds reasonable to me. Enjoy.

kitten and crow

I was looking at Maria's blog and then followed her link to Interspecies Friends blog where I found this cute video about a kitten and crow that become friends. Here is the video:

ryan will be mad...

So I know that Ryan will be mad at me for this, but I just couldn't resist. This last Friday he was going to a party with his wilderness group. They had to go in pairs that had some sort of themed costume. Ryan and his partner went as I think "Country Club snobs from the 1970s." This is a video snapshot from our online chat. He looks so funny and soooo from another time. Haha. Love it! Oh dear...I know Ryan won't be happy. Get a look before he makes me take it down. He shaved it off the next morning right away.

been sick

So I haven't written in awhile. I have been sick all week so I haven't really felt up to it. I think my sickness went through every stage possible. It started with a scratchy throat. Then added a super runny nose. Then turned into headaches, faceaches, and feeling feverish. Next it was sore throat and congestion. Then some earache. And now, coughing and congestion. Miserable. Hopefully it is coming to an end. Sorry to bore you with that.

I had a great weekend in England. It was so wonderful to see family. I had lots of great food including roast beef, yummy veggies, indian cuisine, cheesecake, and sticky toffee pudding. I was spoiled. I got great gifts and was taken out shopping! Fabulous. I will be going back soon.

Not much is new in France. The strike is coming to an end soon so things will go back to normal. Although I'm not really sure what that normal is yet since I haven't experienced it so far. We will see. I don't think it is going to be as tough as Wellesley. I think this will be my "break" semester. I keep meaning to get lots of drawing done. It was, afterall, my new year's resolution, but I just haven't done it. I need to get on top of that. I think it has been too cold and windy and I really want to be drawing outside. I feel very guilty about it.

Oh and I forgotto mention the boots that I got in England. They are exactly what I wanted. I love them! The first night I wore them, I had blisters on my feet from before, but these boots still didn't hurt my feet. Now that is a good pair of boots.

One thing that I have been doing this week is watching a tv show series called How I Met Your Mother. I really like it. Jason Segel is in it. He was in Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The premise of the show is that a father narrates (Bob Saget) the story of how he met his wife to his children. The only thing is, he goes waaaay back. My roommate is watching the third season now and he still hasn't met the mother yet. It is super funny and also can be very sweet. Good times.

Some summer dresses to go with the boots that I want to get. Just for fun!

My search for boots

So these are the types of boots I think I would like to get. Mama (grandma) says that she will take me out boot shopping. I have been trying to think about what I would really like. I want them to be loose and scrunchy and casual.

rain and wind

The rain and wind is miserable. It has been rainy and cold for the last couple days. It makes me feel stuck and bored. I feel like Aix doesn't have much to do that isn't outside or expensive. Shopping seems like the main activity here. This might also be my fault. I am going to be more proactive. I am going to find a gym for one thing. I keep wanting to go out and run, but the rain makes that really not appealing. Well, that's all for now.
