Death of My Blog.

I got home safely.

This will be the last post of my blog. I hope you enjoyed the pictures and stories. I'm not nearly as good a story teller as some people I know, but I tried.

kthxbye!

Take Me HOME Tonight.

I'm packing and listening to oldies.

There are lots of strikes here in France.

There's going to be a protest in our square tomorrow, so we have to leave reallyyyy early. PLEASE LET ME NOT MISS MY FLIGHT.

Miss you kids! SO READY FOR HOME.

Must finish all the leftover Heinekens in the fridge.

Esther Tiffany Paris.

We're watching Vicky Christina Barcelona. It's better than the name suggests.

Angelina. [Jolie and Café]

In a magazine, there was a picture of Kate Winslet accepting her Golden Globe...and next to it, there was a picture of Brad Pitt kissing Angelina. The caption read something like, "Brad thinks Angelina is still a winner" or something sappy like that. I thought, gosh Angelina, MUST you win everything. It's like, "Okay Kate. You might have won a Golden Globe, but look what I get to kiss ALL the time."

We went to Café Angelina today. It was so cute. Its chocolat chaud is voted the best almost every year.

I wish my sleeve said Angelina.

Chocolat Chaud.

Yummy delicious.



Place Vendôme. These were once the mansions of the wealthiest jewlers of France.

Apparently, a judge in France ruled that Nicolas Sarkozy voodoo dolls may be sold as long as they include a label that says that the doll is offensive to Nicolas Sarkozy. [catching up on Wait Wait episodes]

Weekend with Hugh Grant.

Jason Karsh [you just got a google alert, didn't you?] How do you like the title of this blog post?

We were at the British Museum yesterday having breakfast/lunch with JK, and Tiff is convinced that some tourists took pictures of us thinking that Jason was Hugh Grant and we were his two prostitutes. We weren't sitting in front of anything particularly interesting and apparently they kept staring and took turns taking pictures of us...So if you see us in a tabloid, you'll know that Hugh Grant isn't a player. And that we are not prostitutes.

Couldn't find a Daniel Henney to bring back to Boston. Sorry girls!

Adventures in London: [High Holborn LSE flat. Greatest]

I killed a giant over the weekend. I told you, I'm a lot stronger than I look.

JK, you too can be a TOPMAN.

Tea at Claridge's. Scones are the best.

Tea at Harrods. Tea is also the best.

Hummingbird Bakery. Tiff bought one...I bought three.

Portobello.

Recessions are older than Jesus.

Thoughts:
I go back and forth on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Media, stop making me feel like I need to pick a side!

You know how those mushroom bullets are illegal by international law? We need to have a new law that says only words are allowed. It's what I told the 2 year old I used to babysit. "Sophia, use your words." She had very few, but she still managed. If a 2 year old with a limited vocabulary can do it, we can too!

I want to be like quicksand.

Memorable Quotes:
Tiff: Do you want a Chinese soldier? They're on sale.

Me: I don't plan on having kids. I don't have child bearing hips.
JK: Me neither, but I still plan on having kids.

Tiff: I don't think I live extravagantly. [as we were leaving high tea at Claridge's]

Tiff: The ATM machine ate Esther's debit card.
Tiff's mom: What? You didn't have enough money to eat lunch?
[Yeah...my ATM card got eaten. OF COURSE that would happen to me]

Also, there's no hot water in the apartment and the owner just dropped by to say we could shower at his place. b/c that's not awkward at all. I guess it was nice of him to offer.

Off to shower! Haha. Kidding.

London

My first purchase in England was an issue of The Economist.
My second, third, fourth and fifth purchases were items from Topshop.

Serena, I bought your present and it is SOOOO cute.

Epic Fail Encore.

I just went to Phonebook on Facebook to look up Karsh's number, and instead of typing his name in the searchbox, i typed it into the box that says Mobile, so for a while, my number came up as Jason Karsh. I am epic fail-ing all over the place today...something really amazing better happen to me soon. Boo.

Update: http://failblog.org makes me feel better.
