Did anyone else see the Chanel ad with Nicole Kidman? The one she got paid a fortune for? I saw the short version, but the long one remains unseen.

I've seen it and it seems really, really silly to me. My first reaction was "What movie is this a trailer for?" followed by "Wow, whatever movie this is looks really lame." and ending with "It's a friggin' perfume commericial? WTF?"

Jesus, she is so impossibly beautiful in that commercial.

This, however, is very true.

I'd love info, Kristin.

yep, that one, Steph. I've only seen the short version, never the long 4 minute one. She is impossibly beautiful.

Kalshane, I was thinking it was an embarrassing knockoff of Moulin Rouge. Ironic given the commercial director.

Alibelle, if you come visit San Francisco we'll take you to the ballet. We've got a good one, too.

Aww, thanks.

I love the long Chanel commercial. It's better than the short ones.

We should talk about it sometime, Kat. Actually, I'll be in Cali in April. If you're around and we do dinner or some such, I could fill you in then.

Cool!

Oliver's on my TV. The hate is large.

I'll tell you up front that the biggest hassle I had with them was the SIX HOUR LAYOVER in D.C. that made our first "day" about 36 hours long (including a walking tour). However, everyone else I know who led a CHA tour claims this has never happened to them.

It was, hands down, the best teaching experience of my life.

I would recommend taking no one under the age of 15, however. The few 9th graders I had were a little bit young to be on a trip like that without parents and such.

Oooh, Kristin's coming to LA!

England is so cool.

Ah. Well. It'll be me with 8th graders. EF Tours is the group that is being recommended by the folks at my school. I fear the hardest part will be funding.

Ah yes. Well, it can still work just fine. I would recommend a very high adult-to-student ratio, though.

EF Tours...haven't heard too much about them, but I know my friend Amanda has used them. I'll ask her and get back to you.

Oooh, Kristin's coming to LA!

Yep! Totally am. Hope to meet you!

And Alibelle continues to be my exact opposite in matters of movies and movie-like things.

ION, I may in fact be insane. I have decided to try and host a NYE party in my small-ish apartment. (It's more poorly laid out than small. If things like walls and doors were in slightly different places it would be much more party-friendly.)
