Perfection.
I just spent a week on the most perfect vacation of my life, didn't do a lick of work, then came home only to perfect my room, clean, and play an intense game of soccer with a cute Chilean boy. All in all this was a wonderful, much needed vacation.
St. Tropez was perfect. A dream. In fact, we weren't even dead in the city, so we had the "suburb" perfection too-- alla. our hotel was ON THE BEACH. LOOK --->
(Its in the background).
Crazy, right?!
So, one day we went into downtown st. tropez. It was a 3 mile dusty hike to downtown St. Maxime, then a 20 minute "high-seas" boat right on very windy waters that an elderly gent informed me was "pas du tout assez pire que l'habitude."
But all was worth it. We saw the Citadel. THE CITADEL.
Aside from the awesomeness of that (i know, right?) The town was your classic cute Provencal village. Waterfront houses in bright colors, paintings on the dock...
WHO AM I KIDDING?! Everything was B-E-A-u-tiful.
But don't take my word for it...
Everyone should see that before they die. Let's call it a universal bucket list thing...
Even for those of us not spending much time, there was plenty to do. And one never says "no" to pirate candy on a stone bench by the sea...
Once we returned home, i refused to work on account that it would discredit the fact that I was still on vacation...not the wisest move, I'm sure...but what's done is done.
We went to the park on Sunday. Just to kick the old black and white around, when some guy just comes up and starts juggling it to us. It got really intense, sweaty, and all around the most fun I've had for a while. He told us he was from Chile, and left his name and number---we're calling him to go again tomorrow.
Too Awesome.
What an amazing continent.
What an amazing country.
What an amazing vacation.
What an amazing experience.
What an amazing life.

L' histoire de La Citadelle de Saint-Tropez :
La Citadelle de St-tropez plus 450 ans d' histoires...
Après de multiples rebondissements la construction de la Citadelle de St-Tropez débuta en 1583 sur la Colline des Moulins à l' orée du village Tropèzien, le gouverneur de Province Mr de la Villette finança les premières fortifications de la ville en 1590. Les travaux se poursuivent dans un climat toujours hostile jusqu’en 1596 ou les Tropeziens prennent d’assaut la Citadelle aidé des troupes royales pour combattre des soldats en rebellions.
Le Roi s'en mèle...
Henri IV confirme alors le souhait des Tropèziens et le conseil municipal ordonne sa démolition mais en 1602 revirement de situation, un commandement du nom de Forbin en accord avec le Duc de Guise fait restaurer l’ensemble et fait édifier une puissante tour hexagonale appelé aujourd’hui le donjon.
En 1652 le commandant de la citadelle rejoint les fondeurs et se préparent à un nouveau siège et c’est l’armée du roi aidé des Tropèziens qui reprennent le contrôle de l’édifice. En 1672 Louis XIV désarmait St-tropez et repris les droits et privilèges des Tropèziens, le Roi soleil fit même retirer les canons défendant les tours.
Depuis la Citadelle de st-Tropez jouera son rôle stratégique puisque même durant la première guerre mondiale on utilisera la forteresse comme logement pour les prisonniers Allemands.
La citadelle Tropèzienne prise d' assaut...
En 1942 la citadelle de St-Tropez sera occupée par des troupes Italiennes puis allemandes pour être une dernière fois attaquée le 15 août 1944 par les armée de libération.
Enfin dans les années 1958 le Donjon est transformé en musée de la Marine qui abrite des amphores, des maquettes et des ancres à jas datant de 150 avant Jésus Christ trouvées dans le Golfe de Saint-Tropez.

You won't be able to focus on anything. School, work, your significant other... they'll all be ignored in favor of Penguins Hockey...
GAME ONE: EPIC.
First off, look at this, its cute
First off, look at this, its cute
"Is the Flyers' level of suck enough for the Pens to job them again?
do it...BUT...
last year is last year.
Remember, though, Christopher Columbus didn't reach the New World and stop.last year is last year.
You had a girlfriend last year, but then she banged some dude she works with.
Things change.
If this game had any additional hype it would explode.
The Pens hate the Flyers.
The Flyers hate the Pens.
After days of talk tonight is the time for action.
Last year means nothing.
The season series means nothing.
Flyers bloggers who still think "Cindy Crysby" is witty mean nothing.
All that matters is that the playoffs are here.
A few months ago no one thought we would be here.
We are.
Fans of the 29 other teams in the league were licking their lips at the thought of a monumental collapse by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
They didn't get one.
Now it's time to show them what we can do.
We need sixteen wins.
Two more than last year.
He went and killed the natives.
Same thing applies here.
No reason to stop."
thanks, pensblog
Bu**sh*t. Wait till tomorrow morning. Rain forecast. Black and Gold Rain.

Do It.
APRIL FOOLS. I SENT THIS TO MY PARENTS. WIN.Je regrette de vous informer que nous avons été en contact avec vos Universités pendant les deux semaines que nous avons vous donné des cours supplémentaires dans le bureau d’APA. Comme vous devriez savoir bien, nous avons eu quelques problèmes avec les heures et les distributions de crédit avec vos propres universités. Pour les étudiants de Michigan et Wisconsin, tout va bien dès qu’aujourd’hui, mais il faut rattraper deux heures supplémentaire pour chaque cours pourtant que vous aviez les heures qu’il fallait en accord avec vos universités. Alors, pour les étudiants d’Indiana, la situation est devenu plus grave. Votre Université ne laisse pas d’espace libre pour remonter des heures. Il faut que vous ayez 30 heures de cours pour se compter comme « full time student ». Je vous écris pour que dire que c’est impossible pour nous de vous donner écrise des heures pour ça. Donc, dès que maintenant, il faut que nous vous remettiez dans la FAC pour le reste du semestre en accordance avec les cours que nous avons créées pour vous. Pourtant que ça est arrivé, je suis désolée à dire que vous n’avez de ne chois que de rester jusqu’à la fin (25) août.
Ok, just to make sure you all understand : Michigan and Wisconson have given us some leadway on how many hours we have to require of the students in AIX ; however, Indiana is relentless. We have to make sure you get at least 30 hours of class for each class, so we have to require you to take the courses offered at the FAC as well as our supplement in order for you to recieve any credit. Because the FAC is locked down until the end of April, this will require you stay in AIX until the 25th of August. I’m verry sorry, but we have no choise in the matter. Please stop by the bureau as soon as possible to discuss your class options and express any concerns to me. I will be in the office until 19h00 this week rather than 17h00. Bon Courage, We’ll get this worked out. Merci,Kelly Conway

Best moment of my life:
Igor Larionov's daughter (Alyonka) is looking to set Geno up for a scoring chance.
Thanks to thepensblog for bringing that video to my attention.
Other Russian news:
[Sarah T.]
That is not Photoshopped.
Calgary tonight, the Pens will face Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla (I'm not kidding, that's his name) and the Calgary Flames tonight. I really didn't need to say that, it's just cool to write out the longest name in hockey. we have to win to keep 6th against Carolina in two games.
Do It.
LETS GO PENS
IN other news,
They set up completely new classes for us in the bureau: in other words, bye bye and F***k the FAC. Kelly had some choice french words when discussing the situation the other day that suggested we may not be cooperating too wholeheartedly with them in the future, either. So, on the whole, and improvement, but not to the extent I'd like: for example, I won't get enough credits to graduate in December like I wanted. (upside, more study time for the LSAT and GRE) (other upside, more living time with the brober--eh, Deedee?!)
So, I'm taking Introduction A la Geopolitique, France en perpective, Histoire et evolution de la langue francaise et des styles, theatre francais de 17 et 18 siecles, and expression ecrite.
So, the class equivalent of "hundreds of hot chicks and one ugly one" (nashville peep show reference-dont worry if you dont get it)
In all, it kinda makes you feel like this:
"The Penguins are completely buying into Dan Bylsma's system and it shows. They're a much tougher team to play against and they display the kind of work ethic that was completely missing during the middle of the season. The Pens have picked a great time to get hot. Empty Netters points out that Bylsma' currently has the best record of any mid-season replacement coach in Penguins history.
[Corbin S.]
Bylsma is definitely teaching the Penguins to play to their strengths. Also, the new additions to the team have been outstanding.
Chris Kunitz has 12 points in 12 games as a Penguin.
Bill Guerin has 10 points in 9 games."

On less painful notes, the south of this country I call France is finally showing signs of what it is noted for: warmth and beauty. The sun has been out all week, 15 degrees, and the wind only tugs at your skin rather than ripping it off. I plan on going to Cannes in May for the film festival, and I'll let you know if I manage to see someone famous :-P.
Why did my Mom have to send me a picture of cake?! NOW I WANT SOME~
ok, its my dad's birthday, but still...mmmmmm. My niece is now totally comfortable with the idea of "answering a computer" to talk to me rather than the phone, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Ok, I'm being random now. Pens update tomorrow, and more obnoxious opinions about how malkin and flower rock your world etc. Will probably be more France in there too somewhere...
Grace is coming this weekend---I can hardly keep my pants on, can't wait!
A+
