oh paris. i got home yesterday & i sort of miss it already. i'm glad to be home of course, but both today & yesterday i found myself searching for familiar parisian things & was so delighted when i heard some girls speaking french on the subway. paris finally feels like my second home, which i think is important if i'm going to be spending so much time there. i love that i know this city like the back of my hand, better than toronto even. my little french home away from home. see you soon paris. bisou.
also, someone needs to not let me go crazy with the fastfood. i've already had pizzapizza, second cup & harveys within the past 24 hours. it's just so convenient!!! (i clearly missed convenience a lot) |

yesterday teela & i tried to go to Versailles, but we took the wrong RER, so we gave up & went to monmartre instead. it was freezing cold & raining a bit, so we didn't stay long. but we wandered around place du tertre & looked at all of the oil paintings & caricatures. we were also hounded by a bunch of artists to have our caricatures drawn. & i climbed the ridiculous amount of stairs up to the sacre coeur while trying to eat a baguette & i will tell you i advise against doing that. then we went into a little cafe at the bottom of the hill called Les Oiseaux for a cafe and a tea to get warm. in all, a nice day.

happy st.patrick's day everyone.
my roommates & i celebrated by going out to dinner at this place called Breakfast In America. it's an american style diner with the greatest french toast ever. i also got some homefries, which were equally good. i also wore green. that's right, i wore a colour.
11:11 here, make a wish. |

No rest without love,
no sleep without dreams of love--
be mad or chill obsessed with angels or machines,
the final wish is love. |

today my girls & i went to the eiffel tower for a picnic. but then the park police told everyone to get off the grass & not return until april 15th because apparently, it was still winter & therefore wasn't allowed.
what a ruiner. but we ate our picnic on a bench & then took some pictures & had a lovely day. i love this city. |

Zugzwang – Jeffrey mcdaniel
you are a locked car door closing
you are the key forgotten in the ignition
i am the person banging on the window
i am the fog on the glass
you are a wild dog limping up a highway embankment
you are a cactus with human fingertips
you are a tall tree with a scarf around one of the branches
you are a scuba diver looking down at his watch and realizing
you don't have enough air to make it back to the surface
so you live down there among the spare tires
and the other things we do without
you are the loch ness monster
it's been so long since you surfaced
no one believes you exist anymore
you are a submarine that has lost its power
you watch television through a periscope
you are a permanent bath robe
you are a cow poking her head through a barbed wire fence
you are a gambler an hour after squandering the rent
you are going over Niagara Falls in a giant pill bottle
you have a bruised throttle
you are a road trip that's gone awry
you are a bird that stands on a railing
rubbing your wings together
then you climb back down
and you call that a try
you are a piece of chewing gum stuck on the back of a mirror
you are a bag of melted ice on a ballerina's ankle
you are a camel with a straw sticking out of your hump
in your mind you climb onto the ledge
and you jump, you jump, you jump
i hear he has a new book coming out. !!!) (i must own this) |

I Want To Sing
I want to sing to you my love
My only love and happiness
Don't be so blue so blue my love
Take off your shoes take off my dress
I want to sing to you my love
My only love and happiness
Don't be so blue so blue my love
This too shall pass this too shall pass
But tell me, what have I done to deserve you?
Must have done something cause that's how it works
Must have been kind to kittens and birds,
In a previous life must have thought happy thoughts...
'cause there, you were there right beside me
Then somehow inside me while inside myself
Books on the shelf thoughts on the shelf
Hands to myself, i should definitely keep my hands to myself
Love is a dangerous pastime
Caught between madness and gladness of flight
Nothing is wrong and nothing is right
Falling asleep in your arms every night
But Love's such a strange situation
Full of frustration and anger and fear
Everything's tears
Nobody hears
Nobody's here, and nobody hears...
I want to sing to you my love
My only love and happiness
Don't be so blue so blue my love
Take off your shoes take off my dress
I want to sing to you my love
My only love and happiness
Don't be so blue so blue my love
This too shall pass, this too shall pass... |

I carry your heart with me – E.E. Cummings
I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go, you go my dear;
and whatever is done by
only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear
No fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want
No world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
And it’s you are whatever a moon
Has always meant and whatever a
Sun will always sing is you.
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and
the bud of the bud and the sky
of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than the
soul can hope or the mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s
keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart
(I carry it in my heart) |

yesterday i went to the flea market & i bought some vintage fashion newspaper covers & incense.
then i went for a walk, got lost on purpose, played on a playground, & leaned over the bridge over the great big river. yesterday made me realize how beautiful this city is & how lucky i am to be here.
