5 jours, c’est le fin.

5 days to go. I really want one of these with one of these. Too bad it carries quite the price tag.

is on its way. I love all the seasons. Many people think that I just like winter, but I like em all. And printemps is one of my favorites. Still get to ski, but get to see green again. And the mountains take on such a different feel during the spring. Wont get to appreciate it like I usually do this year. Like I said, cinq jours. I’ll probably make this the 2nd to last post, so lots of photos on this one. Endure it well. I hope you like them anyways, so you shouldnt have to endure. Sure going to miss notcot and the rest of Teh Intern3t, but alas, in the words of Gloria Glaynor I will survive.

I have been listening to alot of The Radio Dept. and The Raveonettes lately. Be sure to check out the latter’s song Black/White at soundofcolor.com under the color black. Free download, and its good stuff. now for the photography. Captions as I please.

overnight ski trip at le chalet with scotty.

-5 and windy

These are from a previous draft post I never actually got around to doing it was going to be a series, but I never wrote teh other posts, here is the text from that draft:

Title: Alas, two-footed

So, I thought to myself whilst I sat at my work desk, listening to Prof. Marsh McCall bantering, with a strong desire to watch this wonderful film, but instead watching films by Bas Jan Ader, I looked at my shoes. These shoes, which were bought here, on my premiere induction into the wonderful European continent, have in effect, become my constant companion of travels across this great wide world. They have become, as you can see, horribly water-stained, with the main soles nearly worn through and the interiors stripped of their former glory of clean stitching and a obscure Italian designer label. Yet, regardless, I wear them without shame with some of my favorite other pieces of clothing. With a little bit of polish work and the attention called higher, they work (and feel) wonderful.

Thus, I decided to do a series of shots of some of the articles that I carry, wear, and use, day to day, that define me. I has left me wondering, what are the things that have become part of my individual style and identity to myself. Do others associate these things with me, as me? That last, my friends, is for you to answer, if it so pleases you. So, today is my shoes, most specifically my brown oxfords as seen above, but with a few others thrown into the mix. Hope you enjoy.

Oh, and when I was thinking about strong desire to watch this wonderful film, I remembered this map I created while I was in Paris of the Locations, descriptions, and names of Sofia Coppola’s Paris. I tried to visit every location, or at least find it, even if it was closed. I got nearly all of them! But, a few had closed or moved, etc. So they haven’t all been updated since I tried to go find them. However, if your a Coppola lover, are in Paris, and want something different to try out, it’s recommended. I can tell ya what I remember was good and what wasn’t around anymore if you drop me a line.
