I wanted to ask her how she came to that conclusion so bad. But maybe I should look up if there is a big one happening this weekend and I’m the ignorant one.

Either way I legit just stopped talking.

I’m in line for a famous bakery’s croissant and strike up a conversation with the woman in front of me. It came up that I was here for a conference and she goes (unprovoked): OH for an anime con?

Wait. What? Do people who go to anime conventions say “I’m here for a conference”

It’s her design. It’s a pattern of dozens of such silhouette scenes. You basically walk around the room trying to make sure you have seen them all.

But now I’m finally in Paris and it’s so funny how it feels like NY with some flourishes to me.

And also there is a screeching baby in that car who has gone one the full 2 hours. So. I suppose this is a mixed bag. Because I only hear it when the door opens.

Also why don’t they show these weird doors on spy movies and they have to run across the train???

Blessings bless because the puke is closer to the main seating area and I’m near the stairs. So. I won’t have to walk over that to get off like everyone else.

- A little boy comes running past and throws up inches from my lap.

- his father tries to wipe it up with baby wipes. I have Clorox wipes. I’m trying to explain to him it’s better but. For whatever reason he doesn’t believe me.

So I’m riding the train to Paris and I had a beautiful window seat until:
- I got to the next to the last stop which is 2 hours from Paris only to be told I didn’t have a seat and had to sit on the bench near the bathroom. 🫠
