the most wonderful day of the year...

today is the day...the new beaujolais has arrived! and as i did last year, i made my way to monoprix to pick up a couple bottles. it's quite nice, hints of raspberry and cherry. it was a year ago today that all of the madison kids (plus alexis) made way to mecano for too many bottles of this delicious liquid. instead of mecano, i will enjoy my bottle while doing work.

say what?

yes, work, i said it. i will do work tonight. i worked from home again today cuz of the metro strike. i think ill go in tomorrow, i should be able to get there a little easier. i think ive actually done more work at home than at the office...haha, i actually have work to do here. and i can focus. and i can jam out to kanye and ibiza trance. and jam out i do. nothing like looking up pictures of important people and formatting a word document while rapping along...

i learned today that i need to eat my cheese faster. i bought this beautiful round of fresh chevre at the market saturday (ok, seriously, its only thursday. it hasnt been that long.) and i went to eat it today and it had some little mold crystals growing on it. well, when a girl has mold on good cheese, she cuts off the edges. the middle is perfectly fine and it went lovely along with my new beauj. dear friends, i hope you are still my friends, even now you know that i will, once in awhile, eat moldy cheese. i dont actually eat the mold. i eat around the mold.

hehe.

ive decided that i will meet my man in monoprix. i was checking out tonight and think i saw one of the sexiest men in the world. so foreign looking, but with these beautiful blue eyes. monoprix is where it's at. or galeries lafayette...

speaking of men, um, i have a date? HUH? dating? who does that anymore? well, i consider it to be more of a french-english language exchange, but i will be having dinner made for me next week by a man. how weird. im sort of nervous. im a bit of a food snob. at least he knows that i don't eat meat. ill stock up on wine this weekend. if it's really bad, ill just drink my dinner.

still no word on the kanye show this weekend. he cancelled his appearance at a victoria's secret fashion show today. my hopes aren't up - if you cancel when you'll be performing around gisele and heidi, its not looking too good that you'll come to paris (even for me. the nerve.). apparently his mum was getting a boob job and tummy tuck and it went horribly wrong. looks like that surgeon is fucked for good.

i now have a request for all fans of my bloggie...actually two requests...(besides still loving me for eating moldy cheese)

1 - if you know how to cook a whole artichoke, please let me know. alexis and i bought two and she was going to teach me, but we were either too hung over to eat real food or too drunk to want to eat real food.

2 - if you have any good recipes for tarte (or better yet, want to make me tarte on a daily basis when i return), let me know. i will die without tarte.

gros gros gros bisous de paris!
