Questions

I am honestly annoyed by my lack of posting this winter. It is absolutely reflective of two things:
A. We haven't really been doing much, other than daily living.
B. I've been so homesick and bored (in part because of "A"), the last thing I've wanted to do is write about how much of nothing we've been doing.

But, now that the weather is improving, friends and family are visiting, and there's an end in sight, I want to start writing again. However, I thought it would be fun to seek "topic" ideas from my readers (assuming I have a couple). SO - Post a question or an idea of something you would like to hear about regarding our time here and I promise to address it in a post in the near future! You are absolutely permitted to view this as a really lame way for me to break through a writer's block.

Thanks for your help!

French Music

Vivi and I are familiarizing ourselves with the French Music Scene, and let me tell you, there is some seriously fun stuff over here! Here are two of our current favorites.

The first, "Elle m'a dit," is actually by a British pop star, Mika. The video is just great fun. We love it. "Elle m'a dit danse, danse, danse, danse.



The next one is so funny. We've heard it at two parties now (technically the only two parties we've attended) and everybody gets out and does the dance like it is the Electric Slide of Cravant. It is such a crazy dance and is SO MUCH FUN. Learn it. There will be a test when I get home.
