castalieRemember my last post and my intention to resurrect the Week in the Life meme? Let's forget I ever mentioned anything, shall we? I kept not posting and, after two weeks, I can't muster up the same enthusiasm. I will get around to do the meme again in the future as I am a fan of that type of meme (I'll be honest and admit that I enjoy watching the pictures you guys share with me even more but I do enjoy doing the sharing as well) but let's forget about it for now.
I will not completely go back on my word, though, as Cookie, my BIL and I were lucky enough to grab tickets a couple of months ago to the Star Wars: Identities exhibit held in Paris, where we had a blast! Imagine fans going through 200 original costumes, props, models, and pieces of artwork. I'm certain you can ;) Add to that videos dealing with topics such a psychology, anthropology and sociology but all based on the SW characters - that was pretty fun. Also fun was the quest all visitors went on. At the entrance we were given a bracelet (and an earpiece to listen to the many audio information) that we connected to those interactive stations, like a video game of sorts. We were asked to create our own SW character; our origins, our abilities, our values and so on and so forth. At the end, there was this room where you would connect your bracelet for the last time and they displayed on the wall said character, before asking you your email address where they sent the character's profile.
Onto the pictures now:
Here, I scrolled till I could pick Hoth. Because of the snow? Yeah.
Fantastic, innit? After that we went on another quest as we thought we'd try to go to Burger King for the first time since it (re)opened in Paris in December (the queue has been insane and we haven't had the opportunity to go yet) but alas we failed as we didn't even find where to park the car lol We were ravenous at that point so we decided to abandon our quest and just go back home and find ourselves a McDonald. This time we succeeded ;)
By then we went our separate ways and Cookie and I got home. I then proceeded to give a try to two new (for me) shows, namely Star-crossed (which is brand new as it just premiered) and Banshee. I started with the former and followed with the latter and er, that was definitely a different kind of experience lol I had some trouble getting into Banshee at first before something clicked, around the twenty minute mark, and I want more now. So I'll investigate.
In the evening, we headed to my parents' for our POI Night as we try to make ourselves available every Tuesday so that we have dinner and then watch the show together. My dad usually misses the dinner part but he tries to be on time for the beginning of the first episode, which is lovely ;)
So that was my Tuesday. Pretty neat, if you ask me :)
