Au Cinema Pour "Julia et Julia"

C'est jeudi! Pas d'ecole demain et pour le weekend!

The second week of school went tres vite! I am happy to report that I am getting much better in my French class. I am near to comprehending about 85% of what happens. Today was wonderful because we spent class in a cafe a cote de le rue, drinking chocolat chaud and speaking French! What a wonderful way to spend the class period! Today was "club day" at AUP, meaning all the clubs were recruiting members. I am now a proud member of the French Club (of course), the Theatre Club (please no laughter), and the running club (they were warned). I thought, why not join beaucoup de clubs, thus increasing my French activites and friend-making possibilites! Alors, I did! Regretfully, the cooking club no longer exists! I was really wanting to join the cooking club, and now so more than ever, after seeing "Julia and Julia"

What a movie magnifique! I must remember to tell Meryl how much I enjoyed it the next time I see her! Really though, it is truly a work of art! There are several scenes of Paris, and better yet - "old Paris" which is so charmante. Meryl Streep plays Julia Child with perfection, and really makes you fall in love with Julia! Oh how Julia Child and I would have gotten along! She loved cooking, loved food, and loved Paris! It is quite possible she is my soul mate! I have never seen a depiction of a person with more joie de vivre than her! The movie is both funny and endearing, like a dream for the food-lovers and the French lovers of the world. Which should be everyone. If you don't fall into one of those groups....what are you doing with yourself? Get a baguette, some vin, listen to "la vie en rose", and get it together!
