Pretty French Things

Why take photos if you can't put them somewhere?

Wandering the streets of Cannes and Aix-en-Provence and Paris with my new iPad 3 was awesome and sort of funny. All the tourists with their big cameras and then a handful of geeks with our iPads. Oh how the world changes and it is awesome.

This is a crazy-ass fountain:

 Yay! A gothic baby carriage in the streets of Aix-en-Provence:

My awesome dress from a market:

Where I went running in the mornings. Alone. Because everyone wakes up really late in Aix-en-Provence. Wake up at 6am for a run and see how alone you are:

The view from my Paris hotel was awesome:

AN interesting take on the "green" building:

Croqueted food? But of course. A Paris delicacy.

On my way home again, through Dubai Airport. This is just so beautiful:

Back At Work And Trying

Sheesh, but starting up this year has taken a long while. It's Wednesday, I have been back since Monday, I HAVE work to do. A lot of it, actually. But I am just dicking around. Facebooking, blogging, emailing, skyping.

I have a really fun job. I have no reason to be dodging it. I just wanna.

Is everyone having the same problem? Is it because last year was so damn hard?

I am in my slip slops and my wafty summer clothes, I feel like heading off to the beach. Taking my afternoon nap. Drinking beer all day. (I could probably get away with that on the job). Anything but sit here indoors, staring at the day through a dirty window. (why is my window so fucking dirty?)

I think I'll watch a movie. What do I have here in my office?

Crooklyn - An utterly crap movie.
The Transporter - Awesome fun.
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Brilliant. But I don't feel like watching that.
Gleaming The Cube - Remember that movie? It is still awesome.
Pi - Yes. I think I'll watch it. A beautiful film.
