Five things I saw this morning that I think can be labelled 'Only in France'.
1. Leather pants and burgundy hair. On a woman in her mid-60s.
2. Members of the local Confédération générale du travail protesting in front of the town hall. There were fireworks involved. Then police. More fireworks followed.
3. A man sitting on the ground by the métro with two open bottles of wine, drinking out of a disposable plastic cup. He asked me for a cigarette, which was in keeping with his theme of two-at-once as he was smoking at the time.
4. A well-groomed shih-tzu sitting in the display window of a shop selling up-market womens clothing. I asssume the little guy belonged to the shop owner.
5. A businessman on the métro carrying a briefcase and wearing socks with cartoon characters on them.
Vive la France!
Also in the 'before noon' category, I had a voice-over audition this morning for multiple voices in an animated TV series for kids. A new record of auditioning for five voices in one hour: a princess, a cow, a witch, a farmer and a super-hero named Thunder Girl. We'll see!

Busy day.
There's a cute little dog that is always in the window of one store I walk past sometimes on the way to work. He's usually sleeping in the sunshine :)
Wow...a princess, a cow, a witch, a farmer and a super-hero named Thunder Girl - that's an impressive list.
I can see you as a princess or Thunder girl...not sure about the rest :)
Love you!

ok, the burgandy haired 6o something with leather hot pants, got me laughing out loud...
a lot
Just wanted to say "hey". I love following your blog but never comment, so I wanted to hello and let you know that you I enjoy keeping up with you! :)
I still want to hear all of your voice-overs one day. I think you could do all of them...well, don't know about the Thunder Girl (you're too gentle)...and I hope not the witch.
Do they ever have need for a middle-aged woman? I could probably even do Thunder Girl's mom, don't you think? ;o)
