Friday Feature: Paris & I are having a mo'.
I
don't care how much of a social butterfly you may be, everyone
needs alone time. In Paris, there are endless blogs about where to
go and what to do... and this is no exception. Well.. almost. In
stead of proposing where to go to have drinks, or dinner, or
pre-dinner… Read full post »

Consequently, so am I. I knew it was only a matter of time before
she opened her pretentious drivel-prone claptrap about the rumors
of her alleged infidelity.

Confirmed: The French are MUCH HAPPIER than you.
A
wise man once said: "People who say they're happy make my ass
twitch." (Two points if you can tell me who.)
Well, if you're not twitching yet, be prepared for your glutes to spaz until they can't spaz no more.
According to the daily paper 20 Minutes,… Read full post »

Ridunculous Nonsensical: Happy April Fish & Totally Made Up Scientific BS Day!
No,
it's not a typo. They say "April Fish Day" here. Yeah, I know,

painted in red nail polish, and then dousing said vehicle with
actual douche (my high school… Read full post »

Night Run to Belgium
One of my
favorite things about living here is that I can wake up one Friday
morning, like last week, and say to myself, "I'm going to Belgium
in 24hours", just because. In Wisconsin that phrase would
substitute another country with some mundane task like... mowing...
or milking cows. At best,… Read full post »

Train of (stupid) Thought(lessness)
You're not going to believe this. It's happened AGAIN! Seriously!!
Another train incident. Not long ago I
informed you, loyal readers, about the (ppssst
RACIST) announcement made to warn passengers about
Romanians.
Well, folks. They're at it again. Only this time, the "internal
error" involved a mass… Read full post »

Dating for people too hot/rich/pretentious for regular sites.
Online dating has lost its stigma. It's joined the ranks of other
common-place pseudo-dating, like missed connections, personal ads,
and dating services, as another way to calculate your soul mate
before realizing that a profile does not determine compatibility.
We are humans, not puzzle pieces. Just… Read full post »

So
what's your poison? Cake? Muffins? Giant bowl of butter? Anyone who

sugar… Read full post »

Figaro, in conjunction with the "No Fucking Shit", "Figure That

Happy Drunk (AKA: Saint Patty's) Day!!
I've been celebrating St. Patrick's Day since high
school. It's the day one of my closest and oldest friends freed
herself from her mother's oppressive body, and she now owns a
multitude of useless gifts covered in shamrocks and leprechauns to
mark the occasion. My mother in law also shares this/… Read full post »

What is your gramma up to tonight? Letting the dog out? Ironing
boxers? Reading the bible, or some other end-times novel of choice?

Jim Carrey: Scaring the French more than EVER.
We
Americans have a bizarre sense of humor. In no other country have I
ever seen so much laughter produced from a single asshole.
We delight in Jim's theatrics and are accustomed to his juvenile pranks. The fact that he is so wildly popular is a testament to the freedom/… Read full post »

Can someone please explain to me why the French

Dear Passengers, please report all Romanians to the police.
Romania you say? Never been. Nothing against. Oh, except they are
ALL a bunch of SCHEMING, CONNIVING THIEVES!!!
According to the French state railroad, that is.
The
French rail staffers want you to know that Romanians are a threat
to be reconed with. They may in fact be stealing from you… Read full post »

Carla Bruni Fucked Up My Nap.
I'm in hiding this afternoon. Last night was my second
annual VAGTAIL, cocktail sans Hommes. The twenty-ten
addition overflowed with apple-lime-tini drinks complete with
flashing ice cubes, and franco-anglo-relations in all their
galoriousness. Meaning, I migrated from the french circle to th… Read full post »

Dear London Taxi Drivers,
I love your country. It's full of beauty, and charm, and
everyone has been so lovely. I'm enchanted by your compatriot's
accents and feel like saying "Jolly Good Man!!" and "Cheers!", and
hanging out on the queen's doorstep making faces at guards who hate
me for my unoriginality.
