aar0n:

The snow wipped out our internet, phone and TV for christmas.

Christmas Eve we went to mass at the local French Catholic church. It was full of local familes and lovely. During the service it began to snow heavy outside. Bex’s contractions started as we watched the nativity play.

Christmas day, we ate a whole lot of French food and watched Little Miss Sunshine.

At midnight, Matt and Bex went into Hospital, and gave birth to a baby girl at 6am this morning.

Merry Christmas All.

they used a REAL baby to play jesus in the nativity too. epic.

Bethanie has been under thick snow these past days - we were going to drive to Geneva to hang out in the mountains, but we really haven’t needed to! No internet, no home phone and no car access without snow chains…

it epic.

SNOW SNOW SNOW

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:04:55 +0000

so in the past three days it’s been pretty much non stop snowing.

we’re up to about six inches of powder at the moment and me and matt have been snowboarding the hills surrounding our house.

matt also made an amazing sledge.

we have photographic evidence of all of the above, but since the snow storm cut out our internet, we’ve had to whack the chains on the car, drive to mcdonalds, and abuse the free wifi [purchasing the occasional hot chocolate fudge sundae - yes they still sell them in france..!]

we happen to be without camera today though, so no photos as yet.

you’d think having no internet would have taught me to appreciate the important things in life [such as people and food..] but it’s pretty much just annoying.

i’m totally appreciating the snow though.. roll on white christmas.

She died with her hand stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with her mind full of doubt
and thought of weakening..
And so may your river never dry
May your mouth never lie
May you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes, someone just wants to die…
Lonely Soldier go home,
Lonely, but never alone..
Good eyes, see nothing to shoot
Good feet, feel good, givin’ up good boots

WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:50:38 +0000

Here I go, back again, sliding off the ceiling
Was I gone for long or did I just flick the switch
Across the street, away from me
A man is singing ‘Sympathy for the Devil’,
And he’s getting all the words wrong.
His newspaper flies desperately
But words aren’t wings like gravity
They’ll keep you here
It’s a theory to subscribe to
But you know you’re being lied to
So keep your picture clear

Stay awake, the lines are drawn.
You’re never right until you’re wrong in the eyes of the world
And a picture tells a thousand lies
Little dots in black and white. you’ve no idea
The strongest will survive
But its the scum that always rises
So keep your picture clear

You talk just like a diplomat,
But hide the gun behind your back
And leaders need a bloody war
Congratulations this is yours
Looking through the history books
Of liars, cheats, and petty crooks
They’ll print your picture clear

So close another file
Of revolution turned to style
We’re so tired of walking blind
Growing fat in hungry times
Keep your picture clear

TOM MCRAE.
