Makes me want to revisit the TINTIN SHOP

Good grief!!!

I'm glad Gabe knows who Tintin is!!!! For a second there I was beginning to feel like an A L I E N. . .
We had a little trouble getting on the same page about the dogs name but as it turns out, we're both right! I know him only as Milou but Gabe knew him as Snowy.....lost in translation hehehe

I always loved Captain Haddock's turtleneck sweater. Anchors <3333

How funny is it that a raging alcoholic was one of the main characters in a children's comic series. His drunkenness was apart of the jokes all the time too. It's not like suggested through imagery or anything hahahah

Ils sont fous ces romains!

just watched the episode of South Park about IMAGINATIONLAND and that shit had me bustin up!!

There was a quick flash of Obelix the tubby fellow above- He's Asterix's BFF/sidekick. That image of him sent my mind flying right back to the 1990's! Back when I was kid in Loz Feliz at the Lycée International de Los Angeles. My friends & I had a vast collection of LES AVENTURES D'ASTERIX LE GAULOIS (by René Goscinny) comic books at our disposal. I distinctly remember the feeling of the lush dark green carpet that lined the library floor.
On occasion we'd get to watch a video or two as a part of class or on a rainy day recess. Those lovable idiots were always getting into all sorts of trouble on their globe trotting adventures.
I could be mistaken but I'm guessing they're not insanely popular in the US because Gabe had NO CLUE what I was talking about...maybe some of my Canadian readers will know what's up though!

tall and tan and young and LOVELY

The other day I saw a job posting for a tattoo artist in Bastia....

BASTIA, Corsica! The little town my BFF Jules lives in.

It got me thinking. About him, and travel, and all of the plans I had when I was 16. All the adventures we dreamt of.
How cool would it be to pack up and move my life to France! The fucking FRENCH RIVIERA. If only I know how to tattoo!
It's clear I miss my partner in crime. With Liz, my other, equally awesome partner in crime, off studying in Chicago, I have started to feel incomplete. Somewhat.

I can't even count how many times Jules and I drunkenly promised to each other that NO MATTER WHAT we wouldn't let anyone or anything get in the way of our dreams/goals.

So-Someday SOON I shall go:





a little in flight mood music. I know this is Brazilian. Shush it and have a cocktail...

le moment est venu

This time around I will root for the same team I rooted for in 1990, 94, 98, 2002, and 2006....ARGENTINA!!!!! We haven't won since 1986 but we came close in 1990...we usually root for France Mexico & Italy when Argentina gets cut but hopefully this year we won't have to! Brazil is strong, do one can debate that...
