Grrrrrrr

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!


Carla Bruni is not only on the cover of Vanity Fair this month, but she is also on their best dressed list!!!!

AND on Friday, she sang to Barbara Walters on 20/20. Here is the link.


Ugh. I do not get all the fuss. I especially do not understand why all of America is in love with her. Come on, people, wake up! It is all a web of lies! She is totally playing everyone! Argh!!!!! And why are people not outraged that she serenaded Barbara Walters?! What kind of a First Lady goes on TV and sings a song from her upcoming album?! Carla should do more Brangelina-type activities like giving all her money to charity and visiting orphans in Africa! That's what First Ladies do! And is it just me, or is it really, really annoying that she keeps comparing herself to Jackie Kennedy?! Ugh. Anyway, I actually went out and bought Vanity Fair and read the article and got myself all worked up into a fit of rage...then I brought the magazine into work to lend it to a Frenchie co-worker...who is borrowing the magazine tonight so that she, too, can read it and work herself up into a fit of rage. When I get it back, I'll see if I can get around to posting some excerpts - there are some real doozies in there about how she regrets making her "relationship" with Sarko so public and how she has given him a makeover and all that crap.

In other non related news, the job is going well, and I am very excited for the Olympics to start at the end of the week. I've completely become accustomed to waking up every morning at 7:30 am (and you thought I'd never be able to do it!) and in fact I believe I am following in my father's footsteps of not needing much to sleep - I am in bed every night by 1 am and usually doze off around 2...but I'm actually not that tired during the day.

I've been suffering from mosquito bites - there is a vicious little mosquito flying around the apartment and it's the kind that gives me the crazy creepy reaction. In fact, I had one on my arm last week (it's more or less gone down now, so the bite is not so horrifying to look at anymore) and it was the talk of the office as everyone gathered around me to scream "Oh my god!!!!!!!!". I got another one near my butt the other day but that one has started to calm down too. I am merely suffering right now from one of those giant, painful pimples that take several days to erupt, but still hurt. It is unfortunately right by my nose and the bump has surfaced, but the zit hasn't shown itself yet. Grrrr.

Let's see...oh yes, H has gotten himself one, possibly two, internships, so he is very excited. H works in film production, but has no idea how it all works over here in the US, so this is a good opportunity to relearn the ropes...and all in English! His English is also slowly improving, although he still hasn't gotten rid of that pesky habit of "I must to go..." or "I must to be..."
