Wow…it’s been a while since I posted anything on here. The reason being that I’m really not that interesting. Ok…that’s bullshit. I’m actually quite interesting, it’s just that I’m fucking lazy & have lost touch with my writing mojo lately.
So, what have I been up to? Well, I’ve switched to a stronger deodorant. It seems to have been a wise decision.
I’ve also been fancying myself as quite the gardener lately. Out on our balcony mint, basil, catnip & tomatoes are thriving. I’ll soon be adding an avocado tree & maybe even a bean that I’ll grow in a Styrofoam cup. Well, maybe I’ll skip the bean project. It’s too bad that I hate tomatoes, though…I just don’t see how anyone can eat those slimy, stinking things.
The balcony is just one perk to moving out of Paris. Another is the view, which has gone from this:
To this:
Sometimes, we can even have ridiculous amounts of wine & meat outside…
So, what else have we been doing besides spending time out on our balcony? Driving around France. Stopping in Monaco & Italy. There are worse ways to pass the time…like spending the day in Créteil.
Yep – we had to make another trip there, which meant another day of standing around with strangers rubbing up against me who were completely inept when it came to the complicated procedure of standing in a fucking line.
YAY for us – we’ll be heading back there this Friday & we’ll finally be able to fetch my visa, which means that I’ll be a legal resident of France for another year. I suppose that I’ll have to postpone the excitement of being a fugitive for another time.
Anyway, I’ll see about getting some of those pictures up before we head out on our next great adventure to Brittany (Bretagne) for a few days.
We’ll be taking Cat along with us on the trip – she’s informed me that she’s already packed up & ready to go.

Did I miss something–most assuredly–or is there some reason that you don’t just go straight to French citizenship; do not pass go; do not collect $200? Is there a minimum period of marriage–3 years now?–for spice of French people? I would become a citizen of France–if I weren’t already–just to annoy Sarko and his minions.
Your balcony, its residents and its view are all equally sublime.
Amitiés,
I hate tomatoes, too. And your kitty is too cute. Glad you’re having fun. The pictures are beautiful.
Those writing mojos can be tough to keep track of sometimes; mine has been missing for almost a year now, and I seem to have attempted to replace it with pictures alone. A picture is worth 1000 words, right?
Good scene change, you even have some natural color to look at out your window now (as opposed to paint and stucco). Though, my question is, why are you even growing tomatoes? Oh, wait, you’re just growing them to have something to throw at the bad performers on stage, huh? Such a pity, waste of a good fruit…my mouth is watering right now just thinking about tomatoes.
Anyway, tell Hubby and Cat ‘hi’ from Remi, Bunny Dumpling, and myself. I leave Sunday for FL tryouts, so I’ll send you lots of pictures when I return.
