Not much to report

Today there wasn’t much to report. I can pretty much sum it up like this:

1. My parking guy called me “ma petite americane” in the evening – kinda cute. At least he keeps coming up with originals.

2. Got word from Mandy that she probably can’t get on a flight for the weekend. She was supposed to get here Thursday or Friday, but the flights are pretty much all full or overbooked. She’s going to try, but it’s not looking good. If it doesn’t work out, honestly, it’ll be ok – I was having a little bit of visitor-overload, and I was missing my French friends, too. And on that note…

3. I tried to watch Amelie without the subtitles. I figured since I’ve seen it a zillion times I could make it. Nope, too hard. That’ll have to be after the advanced class.

4. I chatted with Majid online and made plans for pretty much the whole weekend. I think we’re going to try to go hang out on the quay of the Seine on Friday if the weather holds – lots of people do that in the summers here, just take a bottle of wine and a picnic – but the weather has been sucky. So we’ll see. Saturday is The Da Vinci Code – opening in France was Wednesday, before the rest of the world gets it on Friday. I guess that’s the thank-you for letting ‘em film all over Paris, including the Louvre. Sunday I think we’re going to walk the Canal St. Martin, something I’ve been told I should do. So that pretty much sums up what I’m doing this weekend...
