Valerie Terranova finishes her last ever college paper. Her last ever academic paper of her life. I have been freed from slavery! It's over! WOOOOOOO!

After this semester I will have fulfilled all of my academic requirements for my degree, I will take one semester as a part-time student doing studio only, and I am out of UNDERGRAD in December. Well ( Read more... )

AGH! So far on this tour we have two new songs and "Still I Can't Be Still." I can't believe I'm missing this! AHHHHH! Oh, dear me.

I have to say this much, though. When I was younger, I would really have tortured myself over missing this stuff. And yeah, I'm disappointed, but I've definitely begun to reach this point in my life where I go "AAGGGGH ( Read more... )

I just watched this and kept crying. It's not even the best rendition of the song, but the fact that she's performing this live now...Ohhh, and I'm missing it. Still I Can't Be Still is number one on the list of "Albums That Changed Val's Life," and this song was one of the most important in that role. Oh, I'd been hoping I'd hear this one live ( Read more... )

Oh My God Britney, LMAO.

I know this is old news to most, but its not to me, and therefore worth a post.

I'm so jealous of everyone in America who's getting to see her tour, because judging from the videos on youtube, it looks incredible. Of course, she will be coming to London about a week after I return to states. Come ( Read more... )

It's supposed to rain almost every day I'm in Paris. And it's supposed to be in the low fifties. Here's hoping that weather.com is wrong and it'll be almost 60 and sunny and bright.

 One week from now, I will be in Paris! Ahhh! I am so excited, and trying to shift all the planning in the highest gear.

First off, I'm confused about the Eiffel Tower. May of you have mentioned that I should walk up, but on the site, it looks like you can only walk up to the second floor, and you have to take an elevator to the third floor. Do any ( Read more... )

So, given the five hour times difference, there was no way I was going to watch the Oscars last night. But I see the fabulous Kate Winslet has finally taken home her prize. How exciting! I still haven't seen The Reader, but it's exciting that she finally took home the award, because I think she's quiet easily one of the most brilliant actors ( Read more... )

Does anybody know if Paris has a journey-planner type site like Travel for London, HopStop, or the NYC Subway maps sight? I'm having so much trouble figuring out how I can get to certain places. Is Paris walkable? I'd imagine it's less walkable that NY, but is it moreso than London? Anyone know anything about their version of the MetroCard or ( Read more... )
