Just finished the movie, Into the Wild. I like movies that leave you thinking afterwards. This was not a happy ending movie, yet I felt a life changing molecule struck a chord from before I watched. I am not going to pick up my life and go off to Alaska, but it has provoked my thought process. I am happy living a simplish life with my blythe, gnomes, itunes, art supplies, macbook, dvd collection, french study books, and my little house in San Diego. I don't need any Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel or any of the thousand dollar name brands to give me happiness. I can jet off to France at a moments notice if I really wanted to, I just feel responsibility to keep myself grounded in the moment of life. Life of being happy with my family, friends and my dog Stewie. I love those thought provoking movies.

Thursday 3 am
Last night, I fell asleep to the french movie The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. I will watch it again to see what happens, this happened to me several times when I was watching the Darjeeing Limited. I am wondering if it is certain movies that do this to me, but since I went to bed so early I am up at 3 am. I probably will go back to sleep but it is weird to have such a weird sleep pattern. This week, I went to my first private french lesson. It was helpful, since my pronunciation in french isn't that great. I have american tendencies to pronounce the silent letters and it is good having a live person tell me what I am doing wrong. I was hesitant at first because I am spending money for a tutor when I can buy all the french cds, books etc.. but it really is another tool to accelerate my learning instead of becoming stagnant. In other parts of my world, our 2nd (oldest) big screen tv is doing some psychedelic things and so it is time for a new tv or a big empty in our wall. I wouldn't care either way but Ed insists that we get the latest and greatest technology to fill the void. I am so good with my macbook pro and my itunes account. But tv is america and we need the biggest there is. GO showtime! Love my new show Diaries of a call girl and weeds is back on! Love it, Love it. Now to subscribe... I totally got sucked in to these shows. List time...
Loves at the moment:
French
Paris
French Music and Movies
Happy Hippos (Candy made by Kinder)
Still the cute stuff
Crocs- LOVE LOVE them
my bed
sleep (should be sleeping now)
This week ahead....
Weekend, nothing really.. maybe clean up junk in garage and my office (craigslist a few things)
Sunday dinner with friends at Laurel (restaurant week, 3 courses $40 equiv to 25 Euro)
Tuesday another dinner at Flemings Steakhouse (another restaurant week goodie)
Other than that, working and taking my kids to summer camp. Fun.. Fun in the SUN.

Le Weekend
The weekend is almost over, I am a big homebody. I did go out to see that Hannah Montana 3D movie with Elise today. We may do the U2 3D Movie next weekend. I wasn't too productive, my house is still a mess, I am feeling a little better. I can breathe freely now. I do have a sleep hangover and had a caffeine withdrawl yesterday. I think I slept sixteen hours yesterday. Plus lots the few days previously. I couldn't even watch a dvd or read, my brain was completely in the off mode. Bought Itunes cds. Louis xiii, vampire weekend, and the yael naim cd (she sings the airbook song on the commerial). I was disappointed at the superbowl commercials this yr. they were all lame, none memorable. The Clydesdale bud horse one was the closest to my heart all the others lame. This week is back to work, just can't burn the candle at both ends or I may get sick again.
