Wanted: Bigger Pockets

Happy Friday you lovely pumpkins!

So, this is me trying to stay on top of my shit by doing a video more than once every two months. We'll see how long I can keep up the streak. 

So this time, I just babble about French holidays.. The ones that allow them to take off the day at work, not like Halloween or St. Patrick's Day {which is on a Sunday anyways}.

Also: I found a grumpy cat meme previously unseen by me. This will be the last photo of Grumpy Cat {Tardar Sauce, I still love you}.

Next video I'm going to try to bring in some common stereotypes about Americans and whether or not they prove to be true {or something in between}, and then talk about some common stereotypes about the French people. So look out for that one!

Here's the embed for the most recent video. Click here for the link itself.

À bientôt!

My Life Hath Been Invaded By The Internet

Hope everyone's week is going admirably. If it's not, I've just the thing. Click here for a video by Goatye to feel loads better. Whenever you have a baaaad day, you can remind yourself that so many kinds of awesome/hilarity exists on the internet.

In other news, I decided to talk a bit about what exactly it means to be a United States citizen. What are the good parts? The bad? I did some research {on the good ol' trusty internet, of course} and went over a few basic points that seem to come up a lot in the argument of "Americanism". Look below for the video.

Like I said in the video, send feedback for new topics! I enjoy making them, but sometimes struggle for a good idea that I can fit in under 5 minutes {that's the new goal, it takes too long to upload/edit anything over that amount of time}.

On another note, I plan on going to the French Riviera in the not-too-distant future; I have a tentative list of things to see, but if you have suggestions for that as well I'd love to hear them! 

I wish warmer weather and a merry March from the ironic country of comely class and carcinogenic community {alliteration FTW}.

À bientôt!

Title Will Just Be Called "Title" Because I Am Not Feeling Particularly Creative Today.

So I was looking at which grumpy cat image I should upload this time... until I realized that only so many can be made. As much as I hate to admit it, the grumpy cat will not last forever. So instead I'll put something up a bit more up to date.

Sorry if you never watched the Fairly Odd Parents, because 1) You're totally missing out, and 2) This isn't funny to you. To totally ruin this joke, here's the link to the original clip of Timmy's father. Also for the record, Leo is great and he's definitely in my top 5 favorite actors, but this is too funny to pass up. I mean he's been in the film industry for quite literally his whole life and has never won an Oscar. Maybe he'll all make idiots out of us in the Great Gatsby. But by looking at the trailer, I'm not quite sure if it would even be Oscar material.

SO: I went places! It was fun! And exciting! And crazy cheap! These things make me happy in life; I am a person of simple needs.

So as shown by the image above, I did get the chance to watch the Oscar's upon my return. I have to say I was very surprised that Jennifer Lawrence won leading role actress.... yet not that surprised. She is an extremely talented actress, and I plan on watching Silver Linings Playbook (Click on the title to see the trailer) when I get the chance.

Also, it seems that a lot more people than I'd thought seriously hate Anne Hathaway. Why is that? I find her to be a great actress, and all the work she's done is phenomenal (apart from the Princess Diaries, but let's be honest, all actors have that one film). I have come to the conclusion that it is her personality itself. We all had those annoying theater kids when we were in high school/lycée/enter adolescent place of learnedness here; I think that's who she reminds us of. In any case, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that's what makes everyday life interesting.

Now I may have left out some parts in the video from my trip to Budapest/Geneva/Vienna. Next time I'll make the video a little more sparkly and fun, I promise. For this one I just kind of explained the trip in a drone-like manner because I was still a bit tired of traveling. or possibly groggy from sleeping for 14 straight hours. But who's to say?

Let me start of by saying the Hungarian language is... unique. I tried learning as much as I could get out of our Couchsurfers, but I really only got that it is an agglutinative language, and just a couple words, for example "utca" = "street" and "Budafoki" = "In the cape of Buda". Interesting stuff, right?

Well it is to me. Aaaannnyyyywhooooozzzzle, that's about all I can think of at the moment; I need to run some errands because surprisingly, life hadn't been paused when I left Lyon.

À bientôt!
