Wednesday Wrap-up
Hi team! Aside from the visit to the magic museum, this week has mainly been spent outside Paris. Did you guess where I went?
Geneva wasn't the city I expected it to be. Where I thought there'd be ritzy restaurants, there were faded 70's facades... and not in a good way. While I had a nice trip, four days was definitely too long. Still, I was able to visit some lovely parks and museums, eat tasty food and rest in a luscious big bed. I'll be sharing more information in later posts!
Monopoly money?
Monday night and back to Paris. The snow put me off having a productive Tuesday but today I was back in fine form and enjoyed a perfect Parisian Winter's day.
Next week's Wednesday Wrap-up coming to you from... Melbourne, Australia! Wish me well for the 24 hours in transit.

Guess where I am this weekend?
Will let you know about the 3* hotel and delicious meals when I get back Monday night.
Daily Outfit: La princesse et la grenouille
As mentioned, the other night I went to see the new Disney film with some friends, dressed up in character.
I couldn't decide whether I wanted to go as a princess or as a frog, so I decided to do both:
It's a little hard to tell which look is which, I know.
Lots of silly photo taking at the cinema.
Have you kids seen the film? Any thoughts?

Last call for postcards
Who doesn't like receiving letters in the post?
In case you missed the post (ha), I'd like to send you a little bonjour. All you have to do is send me your address at bobmebob [at] hotmail (D.O.T) com.
My first batch have already been shipped off so this is your last chance!
Happy 300th post, Sequin Cat!
Already? My oh my, how time flies.
I'm celebrating the achievement with a cut-up orange and a glass of moloko. Really.
Slightly less glamourous than my 200th post or my 100th post.

Wednesday Wrap-up
Rather heavy week, this one.
I enrolled in uni for 2010. After five years of study, I'm going back for more... high schools across Adelaide aren't going to know what's hit them!
I worked a six-day week and was laughing up till the last minute. Saying goodbye to my fellow castmembers at Eurodisney and watching my manager cut my ID left me rather emotional, however.
I'm going to miss my job!
I went out for dinner a lot. Japanese on Friday night then a drive through Paris. Cocktails on Saturday night for a friend's birthday (and a French version of "never ever"). Chinese on Sunday night with champagne and cake after to celebrate my boyfriend's mom's birthday. Farewell dinner on Monday night with delicious fajitas and margaritas. Americana-style diner on Tuesday night pre movie date. I can't think of a better use for my salary than good food with good friends.
Have I mentioned lately how much I enjoy dressing up? I don't mean glamming up; I mean kitschy themed parties. There hasn't been enough dressing up in my life lately so when a costumed preview of The Princess and the Frog was suggested by my friends, I hopped to it. Ohhhhh.
Apparently the film is funnier in the original English. I did enjoy the colours though.
No, I haven't started working at a florist... look at all the beautiful flowers my boyfriend's mom received for her birthday!
This afternoon I met up with an amazing girl to visit the magic museum of Paris. We weren't allowed to take photos but I snuck a few all the same. There was even a magic show! Perhaps I'll tell you more another day.
That's about it for another week. I've been spending my days of unemployment poking around the internet, washing clothes, standing in line at the post office, making lists and cutting down my material possessions.
This blog is likely to undergo some pretty major changes over the next month. I'm saying au revoir to my Parisian life and welcoming a long hot Adelaide Summer. I hope you'll stick around to see what adventures I get up to Down South, and where 2010 leads us.

Just a minute in January
Reading... books donated by friends, letters, bank statements, my stock of magazines.
Listening... to the silence of snowfall, Minnie's party train, Laotian songs.
Watching... Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade.
Buying... boxes to send my things home, flowers.
Wanting... more sleep, more time in Paris, to be home already.
Cooking.... eggplant. Going to restaurants a lot.
Making... repairs to my used and abused clothes, ends meet, do.
Loving... my imminent return to the homeland, exciting plans for the year ahead, subtle details in an amazing world.
Post a link to your Just a Minute if you've also written a summary of the month that was.
PS. I'm really sorry for my absence lately. There's been a lot going on and I've barely touched a computer. Now that I've finished my contract at Disneyland *tear* there'll be more time for posting. I'm brimming with ideas.
