loooooong story. basically after a breakup where we lived together i had to decide what to do because i couldn't afford to keep the apartment by myself. i've wanted to move back to france for so long, i just figured out a way to make it happen. i'm an au pair until the end of june, and i'm applying for grad school for the fall.

Anyone else notice that everything on img.tranceaddict.com is 404n?

What type of grad school, Pro? Also, do you have friends / family in France? I can't figure out why anyone would choose the frog-eater country voluntarily.

french cuisine is the best in the world though, when done right.

Want to go buy a $10000 watch? "In 2009-14? Hell yeah, let me get my coat." Watches have the same problem diamond jewelry has; it better be beautiful enough to keep forever, because if you try and sell it you'll discover there is no secondary market for it. No one wants the necklace your ex had waiting for you when you got back from Cozumel. "I've been doing a lot of thinking," he says, "about how easy it would be for you to get all the penis you want. Let's get married and make sure neither of us are ever happy. No, no, moving closer to your parents doesn't sound like a bad idea." Turning it into an heirloom keeps it out of the market and the supply stays regulated by the manufacturers, which I think is collusion but I'm no lawyer. These ads can be seen in whatever rich people use to relax on Sunday afternoons, e.g. The Economist. This is a brilliant campaign, for technical and artistic reasons. What is the brand that it conveys? Heirloom quality. The ads use black and white photos: we've been around for a long time. Even the advertising campaign self-referentially broadcasts this-- it has been the same since 1996, i.e. longer than a 40 year old has been in the market for an expensive watch to notice it wasn't always thus, reinforcing the longevity of the brand. I know you probably figure this ad isn't for you because you're not a railroad baron or a Rothschild, but ask yourself a question: have you seen this ad? Then it's for you. Time to learn why they know you better than you know yourself. I. The demo for this ad isn't the Rothschilds or the 1%: they don't buy based on ads. And they don't need to be told what constitutes quality or authenticity, they can tell, that's what boarding school was for. Everyone else is going to need to be hit over the head with the semiotics of quality-- i.e. see an ad campaign about those signifiers. Oh, I get it now, this is a fancy watch. The target demo is not the 1%; the target demo is the Aspirational 14%. They know they are supposed to like quality and goodness and etiquette and discretion, but no one ever taught them what those things look like, so when someone does point it out to them they will go all in. Hence: anything in Trading Up. And they don't care about the next generation. Not really. They don't want them to be eaten by zombies but anything past 2069 is of no consequence. What they do care about is how a product brands them, what it says about them now, now that time is running out. Can't afford to be subtle, which is the same thing as saying I'm willing to pay $10000 to get the message across. There's a difference between what the brand is and what the brand says about you. You'll pay 10x for the former and 100x for the latter. Most products have quick, easy, memorable taglines, because most people are idiots. However, Patek Philippe's tag line is complicated and unmemorizable: You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely take care of it for the next generation. Which is the kind of tagline a person who wants to be a wealthy, complicated, precise man who doesn't fall for tag lines would fall for. The man in the photo is not a representation of the target demo; he is the impossible aspiration of the target demo. That explains how the kid can be in a sweater vest and not trying to murder his family. ...

Because France is fucking awesome! My sort of best friend just moved from Vienna to Lille and shes absolutely loving it. Im happy for her, but at the same time incredibly pissed off as well, it was hard enough finding the time to visit when she lived in Vienna and Lille is like 4 times further away so its going to be even harder

Did you open a dictionary and just randomly selected a bunch of German words from there? Cause that makes absolutely no sense.

France itself is not so bad. The main problem is that it has French people in it.

Stop right there, we all know what happened the last time Germans came to that conclusion! Do you really want another Sartre?

I'm starting to learn German (Well trying anyhow). I became confused with English irregular verbs relating to German irregular verbs.
Atleast that is what this book has lead me to believe.

I was trying to say something similar "Did you choose Germany for all the more chances and opportunities instead of there". Reffering to France. lloll ! It will take me months but I should learn to atleast speak somewhat proper.

There's not even a noun in what you wrote. Correct would be something like "Hast du statt dessen Deutschland wegen der Mehrzahl an Möglichkeiten gewählt?".

Not exactly, although I think I heard Lira mention learn German instead of hurting people, maybe he said Russian.

I am half German. When my ancestors came over on the boat, I'm not sure what their German last names where at this point but I know they American-ed their last names to just German. Easier for people in the old days to say and I suppose try to keep their German heritage pride. Don't know the full family history since I am a mutt of sort. I am part Greek and both my Great Grandmothers were pure Indian. One was Navao(sp?) and the other pure Cherokee but I head this one actually had an Irish parent. I'm trying to get the facts correct as my parents did a horrible thing by not remembering this stuff to the 100%.

No way you're half German. A German's though process and thus his post would be much more well-ordered.

There is this player in the gaming community that I am involved with that sounds 100% exactly like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The first time I heard him I thought it was a really good sound board.... Its amazing.

I'm not following? Ancestors long before my family didn't pass on the German language. They wanted to fit in America. No one in my family speaks any German at all. But my Uncle and my last name is German. Schultz. Basicly I'm just trying to trace my family tree right now but yes I am half German that has been Americanized and living in a City that is 85% Hispanic changes a lot of how I was raised.

Ja, ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsche (aber nur ein bisschen), und ты прав: Я немного говорю по-русски.

And mutts for the win

I am unusually hyper and feeling suggestible. Any ideas for something crazy or weird to do?
