Happy March!

Though it hasn't been seven full months, March marks my seventh month here in France during the 2007-08 journey.

As usual after an event-filled weekend, I want to do nothing right now. Not even grade my tests. Not even write a blog entry.

So I won't. (Apart from these few sentences.) Instead, I kept the creative process alive, writing more of this weird, futuristic story I've been scheeming up recently. Currently, it's at 17-18 pages of typed up paragraphs and notes to spark future thoughts.

Maybe once that's stopped taking up all my brain activity, I'll write up a little something about my weekend in the Var. Or, I could always show you pictures. Pictures take no creative thinking after they've already been taken...

:)

(Oh, and it's good to know that despite furious rebuilding efforts, the A's are still the better baseball team in the Bay Area. I know it's super early in the season, but 23-5 against the Giants' No.1 ace and former Athletic, Barry Zito?! Maybe ditching higher-paid players really is the way to go...)

Wow, seven months without real Mexican food! Quite difficult, as I'm finding myself... Nice to hear from you in comment form. It's awesome to see how well you're adjusting, or seem to be adjusting, to life in France. As always, I'm jealous of your couilles. (I apologize if that's an extremely rude word in French or means something different than it seems to mean via Babel Fish Translation. I wanted to use the Spanish equivalent of cajones or huevos and the English equivalent of balls. :-)

haha I have no idea if the French say that!

I've come to notice that even put-downs sound quite pretty and elevated in French. Something about their vocabulary just doesn't really seem to allow for words like that.... who am I kidding :)
