This was written just after Christmastime, at the start of 2007, as I travelled from Boston to Marseille after spending a short week home. Alright, let me preface my “travel thoughts” section with the somewhat-obvious point that I arrived safely and am now sitting in my room in Aix feeling very sleepy but wonderful afterContinue reading “A Travellogue”

Too Many
via You may have heard the old adage “Too many cooks spoil the batter“? (Batter, broth. . . you get the picture.) Well, I have just come to the distasteful (literally) realization that too many batters can also ruin a good cooking venture. Lets just say I got inspired to try to make my own PeachContinue reading “Too Many”
My Newly Mustachioed Pint Glasses
I was over at a blog called Make it & Love it, when I stumbled upon Ashley’s glass-etching post!

Méchantes Ados : Teaching French Through Mean Girls
I have never been the biggest fan of Mean Girls. (We’re talking the movie, as I don’t think anyone is actually a fan of mean people, regardless of gender.) via It’s not that I disliked it, per se, but given my choices for high-school film satire, I prefer 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s TheContinue reading “Méchantes Ados : Teaching French Through Mean Girls”
Burn Book Gone Wild. . . & French
Check out the amazingly histerical and wonderful student work I received in class today! Page 1: The Zebra went to the mall to get a spray tan because she was really a horse! Page 2: The Ostriche went to the club with the giraffe because they were strippers. Page 3: The tiger went shopping atContinue reading “Burn Book Gone Wild. . . & French”
