4 months before you were there, I stood at the exact spot contemplating whether I should run across... 'cause I couldn't find that sketchy underground path thing until like an hour later.

From: Connie  Mon 22 Mar 2010 09:28:49 PM PDT
I SO wanted to run across. And that was knowing the underground path existed... It's like the ultimate jaywalking challenge!

Philosophers/writers/artists' ambience aside, the drinks and desserts were OFF the HOOK. No wonder they came here every day. Sartre, de Beauvoir and Hemingway had excellent taste. =)

HEMINGWAAAAYYYY

Karen: Almost every night that we were there, this really old guy with a hunched back and tissues up his nose sat in Hemingway's seat in the corner working on a book. =) It was pretty awesome.

Part of a series of objects that are so multi-functional their multi-functionality renders them completely useless. A spoon-comb-pocketwatch that is, in fact, not very handy at all. Something in the irony amuses me. =)

I don't know what is more enjoyable - getting to see Dali's art, or having it explained in Connie's precise and succinct prose!

The apartment where Vincent van Gogh used to live. Right beneath the Starry, Starry Night.

We LOVE McDonald's. Our goal is to have it in every country we ever visit. And no, it's NOT the same everywhere.

AGREED. did you see how they sold macaroons in the paris macdonalds? dude, they're obsessed with macaroons.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

P.S. The textured lips make it freaky-cute instead of merely endearing.

I knew you'd love him! =)

I interpreted this more as "Gerrome sends forth a mighty beam from his eyes."
