Mon dieu, j'ai besoin d'un boisson

If you, like Xiong, ghost my blog, absorbed the whole of TVTropes AND read some French (or have access to Google Translate), you should get the reference.
Maybe I should down the entire contents of the champagne bottle in the fridge downstairs in the kitchen. (On the first floor here, avec my more reliable computer.) Not much has been drunk out of it, may I add.
Well, merde.
Haven't done anything remotely productive in the holidays. And now I'm going to get owned by the Geo test.
On an unrelated note, have I stated often enough that I love my massage cushion?
On another unrelated note, I like my Firefox Persona/skin. It's like, nice and floaty. And did I mention that it looks like an elaborate version of a fleur-de-lis? Very relevant, that. To my novel, that is.
...wait, what. There's a fleur-de-lis skin for Firefox?
Meh. It's just not classic like mine is. (I didn't create either of the skins, BTW, I'm just using it.)
It is very remiss of me to [synonym of "forget" starting with "o"] to install Australian and French dictionaries for Firefox on either computer.
Merde. Neither dictionary is compatible with this version of Firefox (3.6.3).

I'll split off the novel discussion into a separate post, yeah?
This is a medium-length collection in semi-list format of long updates on my life, eh?
Today was the first day of school. I'll put it in a tag, too.
What a nice bookend to the holidays.
Anyway, I have a new favourite song album, I can't pick a song, most of them are good. It's called Pays Sauvage by Emily Loizeau. I borrowed it from Parra library last week. Also, most of the songs are in French.
Anyway, about school.
Meh. Wasn't as bad as expected. LOL, W_____ didn't show up for the French test AS USUAL. Instead we got a sub and our first "Ça Va?" magazine. It's not as hard as expected, but I've only had the barest of flips through. Damn, wish I could have free entrance to Parisian museums, like the Louvre and Versailles. (Hey, that's what it said. Not to mention that free entrance to Versailles would be useful, also for the novel.)
Ag, c'est comme d'un seau [bucket] d'eau froid. SO MUCH. IT'S SO MUCH STUFF I SHOULD'VE DONE. Merde.
Science was two periods of "WTF, Mr K________" as per usual. I wonder if he's even going to bother to explain what induction is. Like Han (last time), when he was talking about Tesla, I was like, "Tesla coil...". Yeah, not much there.
English was moderately cool; we had a video. Which I promptly slept through. Hey, what d'you expect? I'd only had a few hours of sleep.
IPT...ah, shit. No comment.
And that was my (out-of-order) day.
Did I mention that Sunday Doctor Who was cool?
Especially the food scene.
Music's random, though.
Font of opening title's kinda random too.
Right, I should get back to Geo, then IPT.
EDIT: J'ai oublié! Bon anniversaire, Becca!

Des vacances inutiles

Nothing happened much.
I have no idea where Anu's shopping trip is at at the moment. (Ooh, repetition. I like.)
Haven't done any homework. Unless you count several checkpoint questions and approximately seven lines on coastal management, none of which have anything to do with the case in point (it's a framework).
Haven't gotten any further in the writing of my novel, unless you count three poorly-researched paragraphs and reading a biography on Marie Antoinette ([spoiler] Yes, she's a relatively minor character. You can't really not have her in the book if a main character happens to be from that time period. Not by accident, either. [/spoiler])
I ran out of croissants sometime on Sunday, I think it was. There goes 5 glorious croissants aux jambon et fromage.
Haven't bought any clothes.
Haven't gone out with somebody.
Haven't optimised the source code for the blog.
Haven't told Dad I want a job.
Haven't told anybody in the flesh my plans for the novel. Or even that I'm writing one.
Haven't set out the plans for the novel.
[/list]

In an interesting coincidence, I was born on the same day as:

• 1995 – Former South African defence minister General Magnus Malan and 10 other former senior military officers are arrested and charged with murdering 13 black people in 1987, (all the accused are later acquitted).
• 1995 – Brandon Soo Hoo, American-Chinese actor, Tropic Thunder (was born)

...
And I haven't even got a job yet.
Way to go, Wikipedia, for reinforcing my inferiority complex. [/sarcasm]
What a funny date, Feburary the 29th. I'll not mention what happened on that day.
In any case, as I was saying before I got distracted, in a weird coincidence, I was born on the same day as the previously mentioned Marie Antoinette. Weird.
Any case, it's - will you look at the time, it's 3:07‽ [interrobang character]
Must be off. This will probably be my last act on the computer for the ostensibly Friday 16th of April.
Wait.
DOCTOR WHO'S ON RIGHT NOW‽
Also, yeah, I haven't congratulated the Euro trip people on returning safely. 
Now for the questions.

• Does Paris have cobblestones?
• How full of cars is the Champs-Elysées?
• Is it possible for a room to not have a view of the Eiffel Tower?
• Is it possible for an arrondisement ditto marks? 

Night, then.

I want a...

OMG I am so bored I need a good dose of something or another.
Anyway, here's a list of things I want for [insert gift-giving occasion here]:

• new phone
• new camera (slimline)
• new iPod/iPhone
• digital radio (w/ batteries)
• some music

Because my phone's outdated, I haven't a camera, someone stole my last iPod, I want to listen to rebroadcast French shows on SBS Radio 1 +2 (hours), and I don't know what to listen to.
Please comment if you've read this, I need self-affirmation that someone reads this and that I am marginally important (I'm such a self-centred person. Deal with it.).
