Sommes nous les jouets du destin

Bonjour blogspot,

I have been doing swell thank you very much for asking.

so, exciting new feature of my blog, sub headings, i got a great email from frances with sub headings and now i want to have their babies, so yeah, appreciate this shit.

as you may or may not know, you probably do most people that read this know me, i spent this last week in Paris, and here come the sub headings:

Monday:
left for paris at nine thirty, arrived at one.
travel is rediculous and fast in Europe, I AM NOT ADJUSTED.
we got a SWEET hotel room, like 2 minutes from the eifel tower, no shit,
so we saw that, then we went to Notre Dame, it was tall,but not the most amazing church i've ever seen.
then we went to centre pompidou, there was a great dude playing songs from grease out front, and a freud exhibition inside, good stuff.


Tuesday:
we went to Euro-disney, IT WAS FUCKING SWEET.
like holy shit, if you are ever at a disney land anywhere at any point in time,
RIDE SPACE MOUNTAIN,
that shit is fucking amazing and great and awesome and super super fast.
also, there is a star wars ride, and the caterpillar in alice's curious labyrinth actually smokes.
everything there is pretty sweet to be honest with you, except that their shirts are tiny, and i don't fit them,
which is balls.

also on tuesday, i saw Evelyn Evelyn at the europie in paris,
it was so good, hillarious and just beyond great.
we got dizzy and swayed,
it was a raucous tuesday night in paris.


Wednesday:
wednesday started with a trip to pere lachaise,
the biggest cemetary in paris and the most visited cemetary in the world.
it's because jim is there.
there were so many scraws of love and gratidute to jim EVERYWHERE in that place,
like seriously, trees, grave stones, the toilets.
where were they not really?

so after jim we went to sacre coeur, which is a massive church on a hill that you can see from everywhere in paris,
the steps in front of sacre coeur are also always covered in street performers,it's a lovely place,
and about two minutes from there is a dali museum, which was actually really disappointing,
most dali showings are thought because people just try to squeeze all the god damn money of his art that they can, it's horrible, disrespectful and really annoying for me.
the works themselves were beautiful, but so poorly displayed.

Thursday:
thursday was mother fucking hot.
that is the most important fact about thursday,
it doesn't stick in my mind as much that i saw quite possibly the most famous piece of art in the world, it was just REALLY FUCKING HOT.
this effected me greatly because i promissed my uncle tha ti would walk with him from le grande arche in la defense past the arc de triomphe to the louvre,
and i very nearly died of heat stroke, there was a point in the day when we guestimate it was more than 30 degrees celcious,
that is a lot of degrees people!
it was beautiful though,
so 50/50 i guess?
the louvre was for defs 100% win though,
the mona lisa as a painting didn't do anything for me, but seeing something that has influence cultural history so much and affected so many people does make it kind of amazing to see.
i found the religious paintings for more interesting.


Friday:
we didn't do anything paticuarly parisian today, we did walking into the subway via the exit though, whihc everyone there does where possible,
seriously, how they can afford a metro when so many people rip them off it a mystery to me.
and we ate french fry and lamb kabab sandwiches,
rather tasty actually.
then when i got back to holland it was koninginen dag,
which is suposed to be like queens birthday but everyone just wears orange and gets outrageously drunk,
public holidays here are SO MUCH BETTER.
and i sort of made friends and we climbed onto the roof of a gym down the road, which i REALLY fucking sucked at and it was kinda embarassing really,
i have beyond no athletic ability.

i had too drink 2 liters of water the next day cause my head hurt a wee bit,
but overall a pretty good night.

this is all.
see, weren't those subheadings just orgasmic?
you know you loved it.

this probably wont be posted for days, i expect monday or tuesday,
but it's because of the photo's i swear and this blog would be nothing without the photo's so you just be glad people.
BE GLAD.

love you ect,
Ana.

p.s:
as much as i love subheadings i hate the way the made me write, so that's not a happening anymore


and i dyed my hair.

peace out!

  3. Cool, Freud exhibition, cool.

    EURO-DISNEYYY!
    I hope there's an Alice-y place at regular old Disneyland.
    What's the difference between Disneyland and Disney World? Is there a difference?

    The Mona Lisa did nothing for you because it has become a sign. It's been reproduced so many times that it's lost its true meaning. And it's tiny. No impact from its vastness, no sense of the sublime or anything like that going on there.

    I wish I could dye my hair more often.
    But I'm letting it chill out for a bit.
    Still slightly purple, which is nice.

    Miss you<3
