Snow :)

The snowflakes started falling when I was about halfway to work this morning. They were the light, get stuck in your lashes kind, not the stick to the ground and gunk up your boots kind. This is the second time I have seen snow in Paris since I arrived a mere 18 days ago. I still think it is sweet and romantic to walk through the snow flurries. When I leave work this afternoon and there is slush on the ground and it is wet out, I will not feel the same way. Oh well!

I did something new and exciting yesterday. I went to the movies at a very tiny (two screen cinema) that is just around the corner from my apartment. I did this...alone. I have only seen two movies alone in the theater before, and it is not a hobby I am usually fond of. A few days ago someone recommended I watch Miller's Crossing, so when I saw that this theater, Le Champo, was showing it this week I took it as a sign. I ventured out of the apartment early to get a ticket and seat, only to be told, in French that they start selling tickets 10 minutes before the show. Thank goodness I live so close, because I just went home and waited.  I went back in, and of course the lady recognized me. I bought my ticket (in French) and went and took a seat. Although the previews were in French, the movie was in its original form with French subtitles. If you haven't seen it, I recommend watching Miller's Crossing. It was a pretty badass movie, full of double crosses, bribery, and crime. I think it is neat that while there are theaters that show new movie releases, there are tons that do show older movies. I mean, Miller's Crossing came out in 1990! 

This weekend is full of promise and potential adventure. An event at Shakespeare and Company, a late night movie, a trip to Pere Lachaise Cemetery, a pub crawl, and who knows what other shenanigans. Sorry for being so brief, but I must get back to it!

Au revoir mes amies!
