Fish, Musicals & Walking

Friday night I helped my host mom decorate Maxcence's cake for his birthday party on saturday, which I missed because I'd already arranged to go to a play. It was a neat cake, and made me wish I were turning four again and could have a castle themed birthday party with a sweet cake like his.(the cake!)

I went to a pretty small aquarium on saturday. It was neat though. Piranhas are pretty crazy. They just sit there and don't move. And they had them in this darkish corner. There were also a lot of pretty tropical fish, and some bizarre ones. Like razor fish, who are these little vertical crazy looking fish. And cowfish are pretty funny. Or catfish mouths.
(piranhas!)

Then I went to a comédie musicale. Most hilarious amazing horrible musical comedy I have ever seen. It was called Les aventures de la diva et du toreador. It was 2 actors, who were really good singers, singing songs from various operas/musicals (including West Side Story, so they were singing in English, but with French accents, and that song from cats where the entirety of the lyrics consist of meows) in this semi plotless storyline. And there was a pianist who sometimes took part in the action. It was ridiculous beyond ridiculous and very entertaining. The other funny thing was that the majority of the audience were much much older than us, and they were totally into it. Especially the guy who sat in front of us.

After that we ate at this indian restaurant, which was pretty tasty, and a nice little change from all the french food i've been eating. Then we went to a café and had coffee, which was tasty, and not horribly tiny like they often are. After that we went to this bar where this guy whose aunt is Cathy (our professor's) friend had invited us to hang out. I had a pina colada and just hung out for a while before heading home and going to bed.

Today wasn't quite as eventful. I was still asleep at 9:30 and my host brother's came in and made a lot of noise and went through my things again and brought in some toys and played in my room until their mom came up, got mad and made them leave me be. So then I slept a little more. My host family went to Lorraine's mom's for the day (it's France's mother's day), and I went walking in the Marais and then in another area with Becky for a while (we walked A LOT), before heading back here and trying to get some homework done. After finishing my research paper, I haven't had much motivation to do much other homework, but hopefully this evening/tomorrow will be productive.
