I love pirates - they're anarcists

its my roommates b-day on Wed, her mother sent her this b-day package which included a getto fabulous track suit, snicker bars and twinkies. It may have included other things but that all that stuck in my memory. She said that she was getting a crazy suger rush from eating all the twinkies and nothing else. So of course I had to bring up the Twinky Defence. For those who don't know back in 79 there was this case where this guy in sanfransico killed the major and harvey milk he used the infamous twinky defence to say that he had to much junk food in his system as a result of eating too many twinkies and drinking coke. His senstance was reduced to manslaughter and only served 7 years and 8 months for both of the murders. So we know it is horrible but the two of us we rorring laughing as we read online the details of the case. As she sat there with a bottle of coke in front of her and many a twinky in her system we contemplated what she coudl get away with while in this state.

this is just one of the many things I did today to procrastinate doing actuall work, and very soon I will be doing one more procrastination measure. I'm about to watch amelie. I have seen it before but it will be in a new light now that I have been to paris, and stayed in the area that it is based in. oh if only melissa was here we could fall into the dream world together, not only is melissa in love with the movie (we saw it together and shortly afterwards she got the hair cut) she is more madly inlove with paris then I am. I just reread a bunch of old post cards, I got this one from melissa in paris saying:
Paris is the most beautiful city in the entire world ( I would have to agree- not that I have seen every city in the entire world but out of the cities I have seen including london, rome, etc it is the best)
one day I will live here (I feel the same but I would have to seriously work on my french)
the food is fantstic (well the food in the jewish neighbourhood was and the couscous is great but there is meat almost everywhere else)
you can hear just about every language and the metro takes you everywhere(its true the diveristy was refreshing and the metro even put the underground to shame imagine what it does to TO's subways self esteem!)
also while the champs Elysees is certainly commercialized (and by that I actually mean amercianized since its hard to commercialize a road devoted to shopping) there's only one GAPO and there's not starbucks in the entire city (did you hear that no starbucks and only the one gap - TO has allot to learn, paris is all about the small shops and cafes, non of these huge box depot stores that we seem to be so proud of, and each cafe is unique not a replica of the one across the street).

thanks melissa for contributing to this post!

as for the title of this post, its a comment that ready said this morning, I thought it was great espeically since mairke said a similar thing less then a week ago. I have got to a point in my life with the friends that I have that comments like this are said on a regular basis.

ok back to foucault (another french thing- I really am going through a phase right now)
