I miss France. =(

Today I went to Lucky's and they didn't sell prosciutto OR fresh mozzarella! The hell!

I whipped up a salad with what I could at stupid Lucky's. Romaine lettuce, canned corn, olives, cherry tomatoes, the type of mozzarella that's solid and wrapped in air tight plastic, peppered salami, yellow bell peppers, and onions.

Almost matched the PERFECT salad I had at the cafe in Versaille...almost.

Back to homework!

Paris, Day III

My dad doesn't help me with a lot of things, hence my independence. He also tends to help others before he helps me, hence my independence. And finally, out of all needed situations, out of all the times, out of all things, he decided to be helpful and brought my Macbook to the Apple store in BURLINGAME, whilst I have an Apple store in downtown San Francisco 10 steps away from my school. The one right off of Stockton/Market. He also gave the store MY phone number to have them notify me when my computer is fixed. I am NOT driving to Burlingame. That like, me asking for an accident to happen. He better go pick it up. =)

I DID drive to Livermore though! That was a feat in itself. Wheew, I loathe driving.

At least now on my dad's sucky ancient computer I have the rest of my Paris pictures, but the upload process is highly...annoying.

NVM. I'm going to wait for my Mac-y.

i am so uninspired.
union city is so far from school, the place of my productivity and resources.
i've been sitting here, watching a lord of the rings marathon because it i can't make my mind click.

i just started school and i know i'm back to doing homework the night before it's due.

Sorry for the hiatus again. I managed to crash my Macbook. I thought Macs were supposed to be invincible...guess not. A day later I started to use my dad's old Compaq laptop and I crashed that too.

I have pictures from Versailles that I have yet to post. I wore my black riding boots through the mud there :) My mom asked, "Why don't you wash those off?" To which I replied, "These boots are covered with royal mud. No way".

Yesterday, Janice and I went to the Livermore Film Festival and watched How to Be. Amazing film with hidden meanings by the use of space and lighting. Amazing soundtrack, amazing acting. Robert Pattinson was perfectly awkward. After the screening there was a Q and A with the director and writer/composer.Overall the experience was really fun and intimite. I wish I could attend/afford every film festival.

I'm sort of employed by Le Moose cafe. Crepes, smoothies, sandwiches, salads. Look it up on Yelp and visit tonight after 6pm! In 4 weeks the cafe will shut down for renovations in which the place will be transformed into a French/Thai fusion tapas restaurant.

Paris, Day 2

On the way to the Metro

The billboards in the metro have ornate, tile borders.

Reaching the Louvre!




No talking on cell phones!

No food or drink!

No flash photography!

Speak softly!

No touching!

No running!

Many of the paintings were HUGE, and I could rarely navigate the crowds to get good pictures.

The most famous celebrity in the world!

Security around the Mona Lisa

The crowd surrounding the Mona Lisa

Nike!

I want to throw a dinner party like this =)

And then my camera died. We only spent like, 4 hours at the Louvre when in reality, you need a week to cover the entire museum. It was still just as amazing!
