cultured!

Interesting things this weekend? We saw Adrien Brody walking with, as Caroline put it, "a young, American student." I saw the movie "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" which was actually really good. There was a movie premiere that night for Paranoid Park and the director, Gus van Sant, was there. Also went to a premiere of a film that was part of the German film festival here. It's called Shoppen and it's about speed-dating. Very cute. There was a discussion with the director and one of the actors afterward. Lots of German and French. Needless to say, I was very tired by the end of the night. Caroline's cousin Beth was here for the weekend and we went to a fondue restuarant last night that is so small the owner helps you climb over the tables so you can sit down. We ate meat and cheese fondue on a long communal table and drank wine from baby bottles. That's not a joke. England beat France in rugby which didn't go over so well. Mostly because the city was crawling with Brits. I have to admit that it would have been cool to be here when they won, despite the mad drunkenness that would have ensued. Greg is coming this week and I'll be able to take him to all the cool things I never got to see. It's also Caroline's birthday next week so we're planning on having a true Parisian celebration. Just wanted to check in.
