& knowing all the time you're still roaming the countryside

I'm trying to drown out whateverthefuck is playing upstairs at work with Hendrix. It's kind of working, except through my "Gypsy Eyes" you can still hear traces of "Get Low" and this is not a satisfactory experience for me, nor would it be for Mr. Hendrix, I believe. And I am at least somewhat of an authority.
Hmmm.

We celebrated Bastille Day! Did I mention that? Probably. I am at a loss as to what to put here, but I'm at the point in my working day when, after having already been here 9 hours and with 2 still to go, I am losing my mind.

It's. Almooooost. Oooooooover!

I actually enjoy my job a lot. It's just days like this (orientation for incoming freshmen) that are bizarre-o and pointless.

Next weekend we're going to Savvy (Savannah in Steph-speak)! To see Kim! & David! And behave like Merry Pranksters and Mr. Hunter S. and play in the ocean and wear glitter on our faces (I hope) and flowers in our hair (I hope) and zillions of more kinds of merriment (definite). I. Can't. Wait. Cannot, cannot.

OOOOHH, Harry Potter 800 comes out on Saturday. No lies, I've had mine reserved from B&N for months, but it's going to be mailed to me. HOWEVER, I am still planning to brave the crazies at Barnes and Noble at midnight, so my brother can pick up his and Sean and I can run around the store with Katrina and Skyface (her 2-almost 3!-yr. old). I don't think I'm dressing up, though that was the original plan, since my husssssband looks similar enough to said Potter boy to pull it off. I have no clue who I was going to be. Hermione or Luna. AND NOW, I sound like a huge nerd. SOOOO...good.

"Tel Que Tu Es" by Charlotte Gainsbourg is my faaaaaaaavorite right now. And a zillion Vanessa Paradis songs, who I am now completely infatuated with. I hope one day Sean and I can live in a little house outside of Paris with a garden and two beautiful babies (except really, we just want one), and Sean doesn't even have to be a super famous and amazing actor like Mr. Depp, just his super fabulous and amazing self. I am going through quite the French phase. It's nice to know my high school instructor did not completely ruin the country & lanuage for me, though GOD KNOWS she tried.

I think they are beautiful!:
