Pretty things seen in Paris, 13-January-2009 to 27-January-2009

Lovely skies, twinkly lights, art nouveau, and a few thousand chickadees.

Ew

Tonight, Ariel and I were talking about my niece, Sofia. This happens a lot. Because she's kind of awesome. Her latest bit of awesomeness has been the fact that she's starting to use her words a lot. As far as I can tell, she's only got about four, but she's making them count. And the way she says them gets stuck in my head. In this case, it's how she says "hello." Because she doesn't just say "hello," but "hellooooooooo!!!!" like a 15 month-old Seinfeld with a really big smile while careening toward you at a surprisingly fast pace.

So anyway, I was walking around the apartment randomly saying "hellooooo!!!" when Ariel and I had the following conversation.

Me: (After doing my Sofia/Seinfeld impression) Sofia is just too cute.

Ariel: Too cute, huh?

Me: Yep, too cute.

Ariel: So, what are you going to do about it?

Me: I'm gonna hug the crap out of her.

Ariel: Well...... That won't take much.


Ew.

Paris photo of the day

This may just be the skinniest row of buildings I have ever seen.


The people on the top floor totally got screwed.

Sirens

They're testing the air raid sirens in Paris today. Eerie.

A snippet from our evening

After watching a video in which the Black Eyed Peas member and irrationally self confident will.i.am announced that in writing his new, selflessly titled "America's Song," his goal was to write the new national anthem.

Me: Wait, wait. The guy who wrote "My Humps" wants to write the new national anthem?!

Ariel: I know. I mean, didn't he already?

Another weird place for snow

My good friend Mr. Eiland Stuart Ponder sent me this photo tonight that I thought I would share.


Snow in New Orleans? That's just a hop, skip, and a jump away from hell freezing over - and you know what that means. It's the year of the Saints, baby!

Very Belated Post for Christmas Photos

I sent this Picasa link to a bunch of people already, and Ariel sent it to even more people, but in case you haven't seen it yet (and are interested), here are a whole slew of photos I took during Ariel and my trip to Lille for Christmas. Enjoy!
