Oh, Spring, how I love thee. After Winter, Spring is my favourite season; it's sunny and warm and there's this relaxed atmosphere in the air. And it makes going out after work so enjoyable. Case in point *points below¨* Sipping some Starbucks on the bank(side) of the Seine after a whole day spent indoors at a seminar for work. Bliss :-)


I always put photos behind a cut and doing an exception this time, but if the pic plays havoc with your LJ, please let me know and I'll hide it right away! Also, sorry in advance if it does.

And! Spring break J-1 \o/

Unrelated. Though happy making too. Don't think I've mentioned it here but Glee is airing at the moment in France and after (re)watching the first episodes, Cookie and I have been pulled back to the show. So the past three days, we've been mainlining the first season instead of sleeping. We finished the finale last night - another reason why I've been feeling a bit tired this week, but it was for the good cause.

My sister has fallen for the show too (she'd never seen it before), hook line and sinker. She's sent me an enthusiastic mail after it premiered and yesterday she was all excited about the new batch of episodes that was going to air. I've received two texts from her going "Glee tonight, wheee" and then later on "I had friends over and because of them I missed the first episode, grrrr" - that just made me smile, she's not into tv shows (she must watch three of them, total, and she doesn't fangirl them as such) so seeing her so enthusiastic is pretty amusing :-)

I'm loving Glee too. I downloaded the first eps some time ago and now they're airing season 1 here as well. A bit past halfway now and I'm looking forward to two new episodes every Saturday :)

I know the feeling. And now I feel kinda bereft because I don't have new episodes to watch! We need to get s2 asap!

I've been marathoning Glee quite a bit over the last week or so. A friend of mine pointed out that its a perfect escapism techique from stress right now and she is so right!

It does make for nice escapism, yeah. I love how funny and cracked the show is, while managing to also be moving and touching. And it's filled with so many talented people! It's very nice tv :-)

Oooo lady, seeing that photo makes my heart sing! I want to go back to France. No, no...I need to go back to France. Now, I just need to find a job so I can stay...

I actually thought of you when I posted the pic, Brit!

You most certainly do need to come back. One way or another :-)

*squishes*

I do I do I do! France is in my heart and soul and because of it I'm constantly picked on here. Americans, they can be so ignorant, it's amazing. lol

Seriously? That sucks! I think your interest for France is pretty cool, myself. Not that I'm biased ;-)

Yeah, a lot of Americans still have this thing against France. Most of the comments I hear are about America saving France in WWII, so France should bow to America. Completely ridiculous arguments. Ignorance is rampant here. :(

BUT! I love France, always will. :)
