i'm going to paris in 63 days.

well, i won't be there for 64, but i get on the flight at sfo in 63. OMG.

yesterday i was reading "sixty million frenchmen can't be wrong." the chapter on eloquence made me SO excited to get over there (seriously, nicki, learn a synonym for "excited"...it's in like every post). they love their language and prize people who know how to artfully put sentences together and make a speech sound like a piece of art. when someone says he is a writer, the french go "ooo impressive." in america, we all go "god, how do you make money? you must be poor. need a dollar?"i hope to meet some of the most amazing writers over there. i'm gonna try to improve my french solely because i want to read their works the way the french read them.

oh, maybe i should actually work on that then.
