(no subject)

I've decided to be very unproductive today instead of doing serious work like my parents or my brother.  (do they ever stop?)  Yes, I'm the slacker of the family.  So I reread some Pastwatch, and then wrote several emails (one serious one apologizing to my roommate), and kinda hung around online reading inconsequential dribble.  Soon I'll be heading to Twilight Samurai.    Of course, I make excuses like I already did some planning for tomorrow yesterday evening and whatnot.  I think tonight I'll run through the stuff again and make name tags.  Then The Big Day is tomorrow.  gah, what'll I wear to look "Teachery" and *not* 20?




CANNONS!!  Lots more inside, too!  Boom!  ::cackles::
So yeah, Invalide military museum was pretty cool, but then we got to...


NAPOLEON'S TOMB.  OMG, that's a big one.  Makes me want to be Emperor... I mean, write my own codes, kill whatevers, march around all cool-like, and then I get a spiffy tomb like this!!


Lookatit.... my ... er... Emperor Napoleon's tomb is surround by 12 winged victories (each with different clothes/draperies), and then around that on the walls I Napoleon poses in 12 "stern Roman Emperor doing good for mankind" poses.


And in the middle of all the Greco-Roman yummy-ness....  The One.  In the words of my brother, "Look!  It's Jesus again!  Hi Jesus!"  yes.  A day of medieval-ness does that to you.


random shot.

While I was eating in the Invalides cafe....


My hat was having an AFFAIR!!  GAH!


I'm not lost, really.  (Actually, I was about to convince the family that walking from Invalides to the Louvre is a Very Good Idea.  It's probably the last time I was able to convince them to walk longer than 10 minutes)


Posing for yet another photo.  Isaac should recognize the horses on the bridge in the background.

And then it's off to the Louvre!!

"Careful! lots of crazy tourists headed this way!!"  My brother was totally pooped out by this point.  "I'm tired of seeing nude people!"  (yes, I taught him the difference between naked and nude)

now everyone say "awwww....."

Thank you for the postcard! I saw it and got all happy and stuff.

The hot dog and bacon thing is right up my alley. Any time you want to experiment with weird combinations, come over to me and Jono's place and we can make stuff.

Hope all is well back in CA!

No, I don't think we do stop.
