I'm sick!

I have been so busy the last week that I have come down with a cold. Well I am not sure if its being busy or being on the tube. The air is so thick down there I am sure it is easy to catch something. Last weekend i modeled in a hair show for a salon on London. Smashing. Then Mon, Tues, and Wed I took a master class at the London Academy of Radio and Film. Now I am trying to get caught up on emails and get better. I am at the end of my strength for the day so I am going home to go to bed as soon as I catch up the last two episodes of LOST.

OK GO SHOW!!!

I have some really cool pictures from the show, but I am having some issues with my iphoto, blogger photo uploader, and flickr. Just with those photo's though, maybe it's personal I am not sure, but I will proceed to tell you about the show then hopefully (fingers crossed) post pictures of the show soon.


It worked!!! Yes I figured it out! Rock and Roll.
This guy, the base player, is my favorite! He is so animated on stage and he stars in the infamous dance number they do so well.



As I am writing this the sky has turned black and hail is rocketing from to the ground. What the heck is going on? Anyway the show was fab and Ian was a trooper. Driving a total of about 3 hours just so I could see them. Woohooo!

The highlight of the evening was when they cleared the stage and preformed the dance that made me a fan. I have not been that excited since I got a My Little Pony sleeping bag for Christmas.

I love OK GO! Go Go Go.

Ok Go, Have a good show!

About a month ago Heather introduced me to a fantastic band called OK GO. If you haven't seen there online video A Million Ways please take a few minutes and check it out. I promise you will not be disappointed. As a result of that video I bought the bands album. The songs have brought me joy while I have been cleaning the flat or making dinner. All that to say tonight due to my amazing Ian's contacts I am going to see them live in Cambridge. They are only playing 30 minutes, but i know it will be worth it. Ian is graciously going with me even though there is probably nothing he would rather do less. I am so excited about going I can hardly stand it. I will let you all know how it goes. Woohooo!

I love Lost!

Why do i love this show? I am not sure, but it rocking my world. I couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking about it and then I couldn't sleep because I had a dream about Anglena Jolie and her Son Maddox. That was weird, but back to Lost. On Wednesday i watch it over at TOm's house because he has sky. We are a season behind so I try to keep up to date by reading it and watching recaps online, but it is not good enough I need more. If you know how to download shows from the internet please let me know. I have to run, but fill me on the Dharma project and what will happen if they don't enter in the numbers every 108 minutes.

If we took a Holiday...Oh yeah..Oh yeah..Took some time to celebrate......

Sept. 28th
Arrived at Nice airport and drove for about 2 hours to find our hotel because Ian is a typical man and hates asking for directions. In the end we found it without much drama and finding it on our own did feel like a mini accomplishment.
After settling into our amazingling lush Boutique Hotel - Hotel Juana - we ventured out into the little seaside town of Juan les Pins for dinner and a bottle of wine.



Sept. 29th


Most of the day was spent on the private beach, Les Pirates, associated with the hotel basking in the the french Riviera Rays and reading our books of the trip - Blink and Bono on Bono. It doesn't get much better than laying on a padding lounge chair, 10 feet from the sea, feeling the warmth of the sun soaking into your skin, and reading an amazing book.
For Dinner we finally, after much deliberation, decided to eat at a vibey little place on the beach - literally the tables were on the beach - staffed by some funky locals rushing about bare feet serving a selection of asian and french food. We had Asian and a bottle of white wine.

Sept. 30th
Drove to Old Antibes to check out a Provençal Market. The hustle and bustle of a half local half tourist market is very exciting, Mom you would have loved it! The goods on sale tempted me but I managed to escape with just a small bag of Olives. The Picasso museum is in Antibes but unfortunately has strange hours so we missed our chance of going, but the town itself was a little like a museum. So quaint and the few of the sea once again breathtaking. That night we thought we were going to a fabulous club/restaraunt in cannes called Baoli that hosted the Star Wars party at the film festival, but when we finally found it - i guess part of the appeal is that it is hidden in a port- they were having a private party for L'Oreal. Feeling very disappointed and irritated with the concierge from our hotel who had said he would call and get us a table, we headed back to Juan les Pins and found a jewel of a restaurant by the name of Le Paradis and ended up having a wonderful night.

Oct. 1
Our waiter the night before had told us about a little village we needed to visit that Bono owned a house in so we decided we would do that today. But Ian was not listening when he explained it and although his English was good he spoke quickly and I did not totally get the name. I looked online and using my detective skill - which turns out are not very good - thought i found the place, Corros Village, a medieval village perched on the top of a hill with an amazing view. All the things we were told about Bono's village. it was all those things, and turns out better than Bono's village in the sense that it was not a tourist attraction. We were probably the only non locals there. So quiet, so quaint. I am pleased we found the place. After our day out we again went to the beach and that night did make it to Baoli which is the coolest restaurant i have ever been to.



Oct. 2
Eze - Village the place where the rich and famous own fantastic homes. Probably one of if not the most spectacular view I have ever laid eyes on.
That was the highlight of the day. the rest of the day was spent on the beach and dinner was a cute little restaurant near our hotel.

Oct. 3
Last day. A trip to Monaco and Monte Carlo, not that exciting but something worth seeing. Gray skies and cool breeze kept us off the beach. we made on more trip to Eze-Village for lunch to eat the most amazing savory crepes. Yummy!
After and evening stroll along the beach we went back to our little restaurant near the hotel with the nicest staff. I so did not want to leave so I savored the last moments of my trip to the French Riviera. That night it stormed all night so leaving was little easier.
