something to quell my rage from earlier this evening…a care package from hell-ay! my sister sent me two packages of uncle eddie’s vegan cookies — peanut butter chocolate chip and chocolate chip with walnuts. yippee!!! there ain’t nuthin’ bettah than peanut butter and choco chip. the box also included her super 8 video footage of paris, edited together with fab music such as the amélie theme song. and of course there was footage of me dancing around outside notre dame. that footage should be burned.
but really, the paris on the video is the dreamy postcard paris. and while i was watching the footage of the eiffel tower and the seine and my favorite crepe stand, i felt a little twinge of nostalgia. happy nostalgia for the good times i had in the city of light. at last.

Second, doesn’t that super 8 make Paris look amazingly dreamy and wondrous?! Super 8…it’s just beautiful. As soon as I saw it - gone were the feelings of anger and resentment I had toward the whole city…I was in love again…DAMNED FILM!

Ah, Paris ! This week, this town is just wonderful. I was in bicycle between Saint-Germain des Prés and Notre Dame, Les Deux Magots and Shakespeare and Co and it was better than Amelie.
I am sorry for you, Anglofille. But, on the other hand, you have VH Smith and Harry Potter. So, it’s not so bad is’nt it ? ;-).

SpliceGirl: The cookies *are* heroin to those of us who can’t have regular buttery cookies! I expect a regular shipment of these now. They arrived in remarkably good condition too!
The Super 8 footage does romanticize Paris completely. It’s nice to think of the city in that way…much nicer than memories of being evicted and hiring lawyers…
Aldor: We are having nice weather in London too. At last! I hope you don’t read Harry Potter?!

I don’t… yet.
But, despite your comment, I think i’ll do, someday.
