Le genie de notre langue est la clarte - Voltaire



Well today was a sad day. It rained all day, it was cold and grey! All we wanted to do was get out of the house. There isn't much to do when its one of those days. So we found ways to entertain our selves.
Napoleon and Chili:
Learn to Dance with Napoleon Dynamite
I haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite in a while, and since its an American DVD and our DVD player here doesn't play American DVD's but only the European kind, we watched it on the computer. It was a good time and brought a bit of happiness to our gloomy day. And then also the chili. It was the perfect night for it, cold and rainy, so why not. Celine always makes good chili, Jim should know! So after that we watched yet another DVD. This one was a French one, I've seen it before but its pretty good, its called "Les Bronzes font du ski". Its with a group of people that make movies together, I've seen 3 of them and they are all pretty funny.
This Week: This week, we haven't done to much. We do our usual morning routine of walking to the restaurant and cleaning. But its been so cold these last few days, that there has been a lot of fog, and with there being yet again holiday, where no one works or goes to school, walking through the fog in down town, with no one around was a weird experience. I guess its just one of things you have to see.
In the news: I guess last week the emails started. Everyone in the US was getting the news of the riots in France, and everyone was emailing us at the same time asking how we are doing. Well we're fine, now that I think of it I'm not sure if the riots are going on still or not. We haven't really had the chance to watch the news lately. But yesterday I heard something like 6,000 cars had been burned in the last 2 or 3 weeks, with the riots. It's really crazy, everyone has there own opinion about it, but when it comes down to it, its a race thing.
