no rest for the wicked

After two very late nights, I kind of feel like this.......


My papers are piling up

My immune system is defecting

So I really ought to go home and sleep

But it's Friday

So I'll stay out late

And deal with the consequences tomorrow

Moderation is overrated anyway

Power to the prol

It is a well known fact that Paris is permanently on strike. A reality I was forced to confront last Saturday when I tried to go to a photo exhibit only to realize the Centre Pompidou was en grève. There is nothing the French love more then a good grassroots protest. This is a country where rural farmers once dismantled a newly built McDonalds to quell what they deemed to be the “cultural disease of American expansionism.” The French infectious attitude is more then enough to make me grab a sign and picket along with the masses.

Vive la revolution!

But wait……..what are we protesting for again?

They're stringing up the lights on St. honore, the holiday season has officially begun! This is my favorite time of the year. I realize it's only the first day of December but I'm excited non the less. I'm a sucker for cheesy carols, trite holiday specials, syrupy sweet gingerbread lattes, and long catch-ups with friends and family. Holiday traditions make this time of year so special. Every Christmas eve my family watches Scrooge before bed, after "enjoying" a dinner of tourtière. For those that have missed out on the joy that is meat pie, tourtière is a Quebecois specialty dish made of minced pork, which tastes about as good as it sounds. You have to drown it in spoonfuls of condiments before it ever becomes even slightly edible. I've hated it and eaten it every year for as long as I can remember. It's a vulgar dish but I suppose it's appropriate for Christmas eve; It makes Christmas day Turkey tastes that much better. Looking forward to the holiday season and all the bad pie it entails!

10 days until Hanukkah
24 days until Christmas!

joy for the the modern phenomenon that is Chrismukkah!
