So. Back from Miami.

Miami was warm. That is all that matters. Although other terribly unimportant nonevents of disinterest include that I got 2/3 of the way through N-D de P (the book), I ended up watching more of The Sopranos than I ever wanted to due to my brother (who is *still* convinced that the guys who sat in front of us in Church were mob), and the beds in the Miami Marriot are unbelieveably comfortable and I wanted to take one back with me.

Got lots of books and chocolate for Christmas, so that was good.

Went dancing last night, which was quite fun, except for when Moody got sick. *huggles Moody* But Chris attempted to teach me to waltz, with limited success but it was amusing at least, and afterwards Ella and Brian and I hung out in the hot tub for an hour or so like the deviants we are.

Book-Gringoire is slightly less gay but considerably more flamboyant than Rock-Opera-Gringoire.

I am incredibly hungry and if I continue with this rather pointless update I'll start drifting into Franglais.

That is all.

Somewhat-Random Song Lyric Spam

Dieu Que Le Monde Est Injuste
(Quasimodo)

Dieu que le monde est injuste
Lui si beau et moi si laid
Je te donnerais la lune
Tu ne voudrais pas m'aimer

Et lui sans faire un suel geste
Sans un mot, sans un regard
Il a mis de la tendresse
Au fond de tes grands yeux noirs

Tu lui donneras ton corps
Tu croiras ses serments
Tu l'aimes pour le dehors
Sans voir ce qu'il y a dedans

Dieu que le monde est injuste
Lui seigneur, et moi vaurien
Il te donnera la lune
Toi qui ne demandais rien

Dieu que le monde est injuste
Aime ton beau cavalier
La satin de ta peau brune
N'est pas pour les va-nu-pieds

Ma laideur est une insulte
A ta beauté insolente
Une erreur de la nature
Qui ne me fut pas aimante

Dieu que le monde est injuste
Notre lot n'est pas le leur
Nous n'avons pas de fortune
Mais eux, ont-ils donc un coeur ?

Ils sont nés dans la dentelle
Pour faire l'amour et la guerre
Mais nous pauvres vers de terre
Notre vie est bien plus belle

Et de quel côté est Dieu
Du côté des ostensoirs
Ou bien du côté de ceux
Qui le prient matin et soir ?

Ce Jésus que l'on adore
A t-il toujours préféré
Les Rois Mages avec leur or
A nous autres pauvres bergers ?

Dieu que la vie est cruelle
Pour deux coeurs qui se cherchaient
Moi si laid et toi si belle...
Comment pourrais-tu m'aimer ?

So obsessed. Probably isn't healthy. Oh well. *plays on repeat*
