Say something random about you (Part 2)

Eating a huge juicy pickle...

Is that a euphemism? LOL!

Bonjour, me ami..

I'm glad you were able to get to a computer, even though it took those "dix minutes" to figure it out. Anyway, sounds like your holiday is going well. Can't wait to see pictures. Be safe.

bon jour, Nay!!!!

**snorts so hard her nose hurts** That was funny!

Bonjour, ma petite chouchou!

Sorry about not telling you that their keyboard is not a QWERTY but an AZERTY. But since QWERTY is a keyboard for English, it's not surprising that one for the French language would be different, non?

When I was in school in Paris we used pen and paper, not computers or laptops. Computers have only become prevalent, in what, the last 10 years or so in schools (excluding a word processor)? I have never used a computer in Europe. I usually have a Blackberry or laptop and don't use cyber cafes. I didn't even think about that little "cultural difference". I'm assuming you didn't notice the differences (since there are only a few) and started typing away. I would have loved to have seen your reaction as you typed and some words were gibberish!

Now, I hope you are drinking some wine and having a good time!!
Buy me a sussy.

PJ, mon petit orange, how are you?

Not so petite, mon ami, but fine! I'm interested in what wine you will pick.

DK, I am simply ignoring your reference to dix/dicks but hope that you're excited about CC ...

And that's just the way to do it too...LET me know you're ignoring me and what you're ignoring me about.

beautiful pics, Nay. I'm reminded of my trip to France in 2000.

The Notre Dame est leaning.

Every language has a different keyboard. I learned the Danish one after using it a few times. The slashes are shift numbers. *grumble*

And since this is random - I have Quiet Riot's "Cum on feel the noise" stuck in my head. How annoying.

I remember that Danish keyboard.

Now I have Quiet Riot going thru my head as well. Thanks Aimee!

I do what I can to share the love! I could start singing something else...say...a New Kids on the Block song, since I'm going to see them tomorrow in concert.

I love them, I don't care what ANYONE says. Joey Mac is still cute.

I think they are better grown up.

I did like the song, Step by Step.

What's worse is have two to four bars of a song playing over and over again. And I can't stop it!!

Stupid things like the theme to The Nanny. Love the show, but the darn song!

LOL Alice! The other day, for no reason at all, I was humming the theme song to Greatest American Hero.

ohmigosh, I remember my brother singing that in the middle of church one time, when he was a few years old...geez!

Nay, a sussy is a little gift. I think it's a southern term because my friends who are not from the south always ask me what the heck I am talking about.

Here's something random: I really want to see this movie. It's called "Daybreakers" and has some fantastic people in it. It isn't your Twilight pansy vampire movie. And it even seems to put True Blood to shame (which I like, by the way). Another random comment: the theme music in this trailer is a remake of a Kate Bush song. Remember her? Gosh I loved her in the 80s.....

wow! that looks awesome! And I love some of those actors..

And I loved that song by Kate!

Yes, Kate Bush ---the woman who has been cited as a major influence in music and songwriting by other artists and the media. That Kate Bush.

She was pretty big in the UK, much more than in the US. Of course, I was groundbreaking and advanced in my musical tastes so I remember being one of the first of my friends to buy and listen to the "Hound Of Love" album. (Yes, I was a visionary even back then.) I think that might have been her one well known album here(?). I know it debuted at number 1 in the UK (knocking off Madonna's Like A Virgin). Take that Madge.

So put that in your little dossier. Any other 80s cultural trivia that you need info about --- I'm your "go to" person.

Oh yeah, and I just bought tickets to see Def Leppard/Cheap Trick/Poison next month with a bunch of friends. We will be sweating our asses off in the heat and dancing to 80s rock. I can't wait for the people watching........

For some reason I can't picture you working up a sweat, princess. But have fun anyway! Wear your tightest duds and slashed shirt.

Random: Back in Paris after 8 days on the road - Avignon, Bordeaux, Tours and Bayeux. I am becoming so enamoured with this country to the point that I now jaywalk without a care, wear a scarf nonchalantly and can carry my satchel while out-striding the average French pedestrian.

Imagine me getting off the Metro, lugging a 25kg suitcase down busy streets, swearing under my breathe because they move too slowly AND then stopping in my tracks at a mini Tourism Office to buy a Louvre ticket! Serendipitous.

Found the fabulous and famous little bookshop - Shakespeare & Company. The original owner published James Joyce's "Ulysses" there in 1922 and Hemingway's gang of mates often met there. I was headed back for a poetry reading but the queue was out the door. Tomorrow, it is Bastille Day and the Champs Elysees is the place to be. However, I also want to book my ticket to the Notre Dame Organ Recital and the tower climb if I can.

So much to do in Paris.

BTW Dallas - I have found plenty of suitable "sussy" but nowhere to send them so ......... c'est la vie!

I'm glad you're having fun! It's like that when you spend a few days somewhere, you start to adapt to the culture and surroundings. Then you come back home and have to re-adapt.
