We recently took a trip to the Eiffel Tower... It is good... it is going to be good, it is going to be good. The drive was a meager three hours. Downside: It was so crowded that we never actually got ON the tower, it was closed for some reason or another, so we did not even get a chance to go to the top, it was utterly macabre... It was closed due to something having to do with The Rose Suchak Ladder Company doing some kind of maintenance repair on the ladder work around the tower.
On the way back home we decided to stop by Burgundy. Apparently they have lots of booze there? I dunno, anyway the adults all got "totally smashed", Reaching, I know and at some point they felt that they should smuggle wine bottles in their jackets so as to save the good stuff for another day.
After we got back, once I entered the house, one of the Monkeys cleared their throat and pointed to the laundry room. I gave them a confused look because I had no idea what was going on, then I went upstairs to my room.

I am hungry
I really have not had any ideas recently. I promise you I am still alive, and so is Kelly. She is still in France, and I am still in Oklahoma, and we are both still very tall.

Ha ha! ... Busy
Okay, so my bad for not posting in a while. I was gone for the weekend, then I actually had to WORK at work (Go figure). This is really the first chance I got to even touch the blog besides yesterday, but I had to watch "Pi" yesterday, and we all know it is difficult to blog whilst watching a paranoid delusional Mathematician do his thang. I actually do not have an ideas for an upcoming post, so it might be next Wednesday before anything is posted again.
I think when I started this I forgot to mention that I do not have an internet connection at my home, which means I can only add a new post while I am at work, and only if there is no work to be done. It is an odd situation, but what else is there for me to do? A story needs to be told, and I am the only one that can tell it, so I must do what I can to let the world *Trails off* ...

05. Interjection?
Apparently nobody in the family knows how to cook, so I have been making all four meals. Yes I said four, turns out everyone in France eats an extra meal called "Elevensies", which mostly consists of a single apple. I had to bust out the Sweet Potato Pie recipe my Aunt Gigi taught me just to keep them satisfied. For desert I made some kind of awesome cake, the kids say it was quite delicious, and that it had the proper frosting-to-cake ratio... Either that or they said they claim my shins in the name of Botswana... My French is a little rusty. This is true... The rusty French part, not the Botswana part, you crazy readers and your crazy conclusion jumping.
I have been getting rather cold at night recently, so I decided to make my own pair of pajama pants, the only problem is I did not have enough fabric. So one leg of the pants is blue with white clouds, and the other leg is a type of flannel pattern, the colors seem rather... Nobody will get this, if you do, I probably owe you money *Gasping for breath* What is word... Analogous, but I do not mind, I am the only one that is going to be seeing them, right? I also broke down and bought some socks, the end. Unrelated: Other Kelly does not approve of the narrative, what is the deal with her?

04. Running out of clever titles
So I was asking Tom what his least favorite things are, just to see if we agreed on anything, (I find it hard to relate to people who like lung cancer). He started listing off pretty much everything that exists, then at the very end of the list as he was walking off he said "Oh, and Hugh Jackman!" To which I responded "Hugh Jackman is Wolverine!" Almost too obvious, but I really wanted this one. It was just not cool, but I guess any conversation is better than no conversation.
I have done a pretty good job of relating to the kids so far, they like to watch cartoons I think this actually happened and yell at each other, they also occasionally enjoy a strange game which, when translated to English, is called "Punch Each Other In The Face". An awfully curious game, they offer to let me play, but I respectfully decline as often as possible.
We went to the store today, it was a bit of a ways away, and the family does not own a car, but the seven of us walked every ile together until we got there. T(w/o)o veiled? Probably, but I feel really clever for this one, and that is all that really matters, rite?

03. Not even going there
Okay, so I had a crazy dream, it involved horses, and tile floors... And socks, something about socks. Anyway, I will attempt to describe the family to you...
The Father, Thomas Baldwin, is quite an odd character, he is a medium sized man with a decent amount of hair on his head, with facial hair in an arrangement I can only describe as a beardless chopstache. Other than that, not much more can be said, besides the fact that he likes to smoke at all times.
The Mother, Leeloo, is fairly nondescript, she only wears white for some reason.
I got bored of coming up with descriptions, the only one I actually had planned was the one for the Father, and that took like an hour to come up with.
The four children, Richard, John, James, and George (Listed oldest to youngest), are just like normal children. They are noisy, hyper, and pretty much just crazy at all hours of the day (And night). They seem to get along well enough though, and I could totally see them making their own band or something.

02. Second leg
Okay, so I am sitting in the airport terminal waiting for my new family to come pick me up. Apparently they are late, or they ran out of cardboard signs that have names on them. There is some guy next to me dressed in a really old airline pilot uniform with a sign that says "Handratty", I tried to ask him why he was dressed so funny, but he did not answer.
I really should have gotten a picture of one of the family members, I have no idea what any of them look like. All I know is the name of the wife, names have been changed for less-than-obvious reasons Leeloo. I will be sure to let you guys know what they look like when I see them... Until then, you should just assume that they all look like this, except with more silly-looking berets, and fewer people not holding bagguettes.
I think that last paragraph was probably the most clever thing I have ever done on a blog, aside from that time when I hijacked this one for funsies, goooood times.
