Some thought that she was gonna have to quit, to “bow out of the race while she’s still got some dignity”…Come on, that’s not knowing a Clinton well enough ! I must say it felt good to wake up this morning (that’s what happens when you live in France, you have to wait till morning to get the US evening news…), check the results, and see this bright smile on her face, with those confettis flying around. I mean, after reading the comments after the Ohio debate on various blogs, reading those dreadful articles about whether she should stay in the race or not, I must say that for a split second there I thought her “coup de grâce” was approaching… I know it is still going to be EXTREMELY difficult for her to get the nomination, but I keep watching this part of her speech where she says “as Ohio goes, so goes the Nation”, and I keep my fingers crossed… So anyway, I guess you could say I had a nice morning.

Then I had to go to school, (I can’t believe that in less than a month, I’m finally going to be able to say I’m going to work), and then the day became…let’s say, not quite as fun. I can’t take it anymore, having to sit down in a room, which usually has this bad feet smell, listening to this guy you don’t really care about, watching a PowerPoint presentation -or at least trying to, since the colors are usually so aggressive on this screen it’s kind of hard to watch more than one slide- going on, and on, and on… Really, I can’t wait for this to be over.

And then some uneventful things happened, so I just won’t mention them there, and eventually - wait, I almost forgot about my butch moment of the day when I got to go down to the cellar and clean it out. That is worth mentioning. I had to do it, as I’m leaving my apartment in two weeks, I couldn’t leave the cellar like this. To understand the amount of cleaning I suddenly had to face, you must be aware that for the past two years, whenever something was bothering me, it went straight down to the cellar, and once it gets there, because it’s on the ground and quite humid down there, it starts…rotting. Nice, eh ? 600L of crap (don’t ask me to convert this in pounds or gallons or whatever, it’s just too late for maths), yep you heard me right. Can you imagine, me, with my little strengthless arms stuffing my car with all this crap and then drive to the the “dechetterie” (I don’t even know if that’s English, but again, it’s late for me) to throw it out ? Having to touch things I wish I’d never had to touch, constantly having this feeling that disgusting bugs were running on my shoulders, wondering whether it was true when the other day my neighbor mentioned rats…Boy, <irony>that was so much fun…</irony>

So, back to what I was saying in the first place, eventually came the evening. I thought, well, after such a manly afternoon, I NEED to watch a musical, or at least something close to it.

That’s when I remembered this cute Kristin Chenoweth song on the Oscars, That’s How You Know, from Enchanted. Yes, I watched Enchanted tonight. Please don’t erase this blog from your bookmarks now, I won’t do it again, I swear.

Instead, try to understand what actually made me pick this movie : Kristin Chenoweth singing, wonderful. Susan Sarandon playing the villain, still good. Patrick Dempsey in tights, since I still can’t decide whether is a hottie or not, I’ll say… interesting. Oh dear… I should have known better. First, Kristin doesn’t even sing in the movie, that was just an Oscars fraud. Then Susan Sarandon is onscreen for like 20 minutes tops -out of 120 that ain’t much- she’s wearing ridiculous make up, even on pride day you’d notice her, and don’t get me started on her shoes… Finally Patrick Dempsey was definitely not cute enough to compensate all this ghastliness, he does have a je ne sais quoi though, I’ll give the movie that much. So that left me with 100 minutes of boring, stupid, and disgusting - I’m thinking of the scene where the annoying chipmunk actually farts, come on, what was that for - brainwashing stuff, where you learn that your charming prince is somewhere out there, though it might not be who you think it is. Well, I didn’t need Enchanted to get this one. So you won’t be surprised if Enchanted doesn’t make it to my i’ve just seen section, it is NOT worth it.

Okay, it’s really late now, so I’ll just go to bed still humming That’s How You Know (yes, I did like this song), and focusing on “as Ohio goes, so goes the Nation”…
