The Mona Lisa had a worse than average week, an enraged Russian lady threw a tea cup at the painting in the Louvre. The attacker (who did not manage to damage Mona) has been placed in a psychiatric infirmary.

Americana: Not Everyone Deserves Paris

A tale from the blogosphere that is more cringe worthy than amusing:

When I lived in Paris, my sister and her husband came to visit. They were going to Deauville the next day and wanted to buy stuff for a picnic lunch.

I sent them to the still-open markets at Les Halles (this was the early ’80s). They came back empty-handed. “Disgusting,” they announced.

I sent them to the supermarché. “So much better,” they declared. “Everything was wrapped in plastic!”

Another addition to the blog roll. Even though I cannot read a word of it, everything posted is worth listening to: BOULE a FACETTES

I promise. I'm on it.

One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise
I'm on it
When I'm bringing in the money
I promise
I'm on it
I'm gonna take you out to club showcase
We're gonna live it up
I promise
Just hold on a little more

And every night we'll watch the stars

They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us

One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise
I'm on it
I'll find you that French boy,
You'll find me that French girl
I promise
I'm on it

So go and pack your bags
For the long haul
We're gonna lose ourselves
I promise
This time next year will be forevermore
