In a sharp contrast to the previous post, yesterday was absolutely gorgeous. I went with a couple of friends to a flea market where everyone was extremely friendly, everything was all sunshiney and beautiful, and I snagged a pair of swank new shoes. Then I tagged along with Daniel, one of my ridiculously talented circus performer friends, to the Centre Pompidou to watch him hula hoop and check out some of the other street performers for a while. A German man came up to us, introduced himself as someone who's worked for Cirque du Soleil for 8 years (!!!), invited Daniel to come perform at some circus performer festival that's going on and took down his contact info - all the while birds were flying by in groups, et il a continué faire très beau. It was just a wonderful, wonderful day all around. I really wish I had had my camera with me, but it's probably for the best that I wasn't carrying it around at the flea market.

Later that night we had one of our classic dinner parties at my place, and today I'm café hopping with a friend, sort of trying to get homework done, but mainly just enjoying life.
