Things that have risen in my estimation this week:
Hand sanitizer
Barack Obama (still pissed about healthcare and how centrist he is and also Afghanistan but I watched the State of the Union and it helped)
the French healthcare system
movie passes that allow you unlimited movies for cheap
my job (well, making my job enjoyable through reading Vonnegut during breaks, planning ahead, telling the kids, "tu vas faire attention" -- you are going to pay attention -- or "je m'enfiche" -- I don't care, and having more of a sense of humor about the whole thing)
Kurt Vonnegut
Jens Lekman
after-work pastries in the afternoon instead of after dinner (my, my, I am becoming so French)
ordering a cup of tea in a cafe
the tramway at Porte d'Orleans
I also capped off a ridiculous day at work during which I ran a videoconference with the British kids because neither teacher could speak the other's language with the Serge Gainsbourg biopic. It was utterly ridiculous. Pretty, for sure. But made me think Serge Gainsbourg was kind of an ass. Also, Jane Birkin's French was apparently terrible. Brigitte Bardot was also a character in it, though, and livened it up. Made me want to wear copious eyeliner and order strange men to take care of my dog while requesting croissants. She was just that ridiculous.
And here's some really good commuting on the train music:
And my pinkeye is almost all better.
