As I've said before, sometimes research is more than frustrating. Sometimes you have to write a paper and you just don't feel like writing it, and yet you must. It brings you back to all those days back in school when those damned papers had to be written and guess what? No typed papers allowed, everything by hand. (yeah, that was a shock for me when I came to France for lycée... after years of typing up papers in middle school, bam, write everything by hand) But the good thing is that I'm not in school anymore and that I do get to spend a tad more time on those papers. Today I reread a paragraph I wrote yesterday (why yes, sometimes you can only manage one good sentence in a day) and it is perfect. I love this feeling, I love rereading my work sometimes and thinking that, if I could, I would marry it on the spot. It makes up for all those days when I just want to bang my head against the closest wall because everything that I spew out is garbage. Ah. The highlight of my day... and now on to some leopard print. I like how at one point someone must have thought it was a good idea.  ( +2 - from the Chinon/Agfa200 combo ) |
It did not cross the road.
Jan. 6th, 2011 01:17 pmYeah, that's a chicken toilet paper holder thing. Yep, Gali will forever be classy and take photos in the toilet (not "bathroom" because it was just a normal toilet and the room with the bath in it was next door). But come on, it had a chicken toilet paper holder! |

Does anyone have some terrible "why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes? You know, the ones where you can't help but find kind of hilarious but all you can say is "that was just terrrrible!" ("oh la blaaaague!") and that's about it? I used to know a couple but I can't think of any right now. ( +3 - some more useful house things ) Actually does anyone have a terrible joke or two to share? The "two guys walk into a bar, what do they say?" "ouch" kind of jokes. I like the "Tu connais la blague de la chaise?" "Elle est pliante." joke. |
Mais euh! Fait froid!
Jan. 6th, 2011 12:27 pm| At the train station: train 10 minutes late. 1 minute before the train arrives - "get into the back wagon, the front one isn't heated." Once we try to get into the back wagon - "why are you going in here? It's not heated, it's the front one that's heated! I just called them up ahead to tell them that at the station!" No wonder they have trouble getting trains to the right destination sometimes, they can't seem to get even basic information across correctly. Let's look on the bright side of things, at least there was a heated wagon... not like the time when it was below zero outside and nothing was heated. |
And now time for a photodump from Risoul. Ah. The snow. Ah. The cold. Ah. The sense of waking up and knowing exactly what to do for the next ten hours or so.  |
( +7 and then some - snow, night walks, etc. ) |
