le sigh

Le computer still does not work... Once again I am blogging from Jenica's computer. This time though, mah human recoverd her sign-in informations for her internet, so she is not wasting her friends internet.

Other than the suckadge of not having a computer, things are going okay. Mah human is not really doing her homework.... because she tries to hand-write her essays, but then her hand gets tired... And the computer lab belonging to her abroad program is only open 9-7 m-th and 9-5 friday. Thus... not very productive this weekend....

But today she went to the book signing and met Cory Doctorow... the author of such awesome books as "Down and Out In The Magic Kingdom" and "someone comes to town someone leaves town" and his most recent "little brother." She bought herself another book of his to perk her up for not having a computer.

Other than that, she made a gingerbread house today. It's cute and very bright. And then she watched the 5th harry potter movie with her friends. So yes, other than doing tons of sudoku and all that stuff previously mentioned, she's been a slacker.
Tomorrow she must do more work!!

anywho. mah human and i are gonna go read some Doctorow and then go to bed... seeing as how it's almost 3am here. oopsies

more later, hopefully

OH CRAP

My human's computer died. Like completely. I am blogging this from Jenica's computer. She is very nice.
So.... blogging is likely to come to a halt, seeing as how the pictures went with it. She is going to try to recover some of the information and pictures off it, but that might not happen until she is home. =/ So... oops. So sorry.


Other than that she is just going to be working (slowly) on all of her finals... hand writing them out until she can go into her program's office to use the computers when they are open. Also, tomorrow she is going to a book signing for Cory Doctorow (an editor on the blog she got that post on)

Anyways. i need to get off and give Jenica back her computer and stop using her computer.
hopefully i will talk soon

I'm on a blog-roll!!

So... funny story.....

My human used an automatic machine to buy her ticket into Versailles.... and instead of charging her 17 euro, it charged her 391.50..... to her credit card...
Thankfully, she got it all worked out, but for a while it was rather distressed. The picture is from when they were charging a refund....


An installation piece at Versailles..... what is it? A balloon animal?


i dunno. *shrug*


The gilded center part...
(oh so descriptive)...


A side wing with gardens.


The gardens extend for as far as you can see!


Mah human and I rented a bike and biked as far as we had seen.


I do enjoy biking...


How you doin?

Versailles was fun! Biking all through the gardens was rather enjoyable, that is, until mah human fell over and got mud on her jeans... but seeing as how that was not so fun, she didn't take any pictures.

Okay, I think that's it for today. More bloggin' later! I need to be caught up before I come home in 11 DAYS!!!!

Notre Dame.


La seine

Private Apartements a la Victor Hugo!

En France we walked into the courtyards of private apartments. In this area, Victor Hugo had lived in a corner one for a while.



I think this shall be my future home.


Matching pointed trees!


They even have Wi-Fi in this park!!! (that's what the sign is for)


Just chillin' on the bench...


Another courtyard with sculpture for the seasons.


Mah human, sittin pretty next to flowers.

We went to the Louvre!

Look how big this painting is!!!! Those people looking at it are normal sized....


Of course, the obligatory photo as proof. Yes indeed, it is still there, and it is still behind glass.


Sweet Egyptian trinkets! Like amulets that would be wrapped up with a mummy.


Oh hai. I am a ritual cat mummy! Susan wrote about me and my friends for her Capstone. You can imagine how excited she was to find a display full of the objects she studied.

Nous sommes allés en France!

Jenica passed out as soon as we got on the train to go to Paris...
That's because she had been up all night making the Birthday present for...


her! So why is she sleeping, birthday girl? hehe...


Yup. The eurostar sure makes people sleepy.


Me too... I think I shall curl up in my backpack and take me a nap.
See you in Paris!


A continuation in 'squishing famous monuments"


oui oui! La tour eiffel!


Aw isn't she cute? We're cuddling for a picture.

St. Pauls and Wicked!

We went to St. Pauls. You might remember pictures like this from the first week, but this time we went back to explore it. When we got there, there was a fire alarm going off and all the priest dudes were walking around outside in their huge black robes. It was cool.


The view from the top!


model pose....





Why did they decide to hang off the top? (thankfully, they're on the INSIDE of the railing)


yep, too many 'cute' pictures... at least they are cute...


Sunset from the top with the London Eye in the background.


Then mah human went to go see Wicked. She said she loved it. They should make a space-cat musical.
Zeke, the final frontier!

soopid homework

As you can see, mah human has WAY too many finals to be doing.
She is leaving in exactly TWO WEEKS!!! and will be landing in Austin in two weeks and six hours. Her list of homework is quite long and she has been quite bad at sharing the computer. Fortunately though, she did get her Global Powers final done today! Now that means just three more final papers and two papers for her independent study.... plus catching up on her discussion questions she's not done... oopsies.

Anyways. She's been so busy she hasn't even uploaded her Paris pictures! Although this weekend was fun and busy. Friday she went ice skating at Somerset House and saturday she went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Today she just wrote her final all day, but went out for thai food for dinner.
I've just been napping and running around her room....
thankfully my carpal tunnel space paw syndrome seems to be clearing up.

Anyways. maybe soon she will have those pictures up so I can blog to my little heart's content.
byes for now
