Holy cow, she's too good in the role -- freaked me out. Tip: Do not send link home to the folks without preamble.

Awesome poster. Wonder how she's adjusting to life without her left hand? Humm...assuming she lived.

And if you're lurking, it's nice to see you alive, well, and tortured. (I shudder to imagine how you prepared for the role.)

Thanks for the post, dXm.

Re: The Trip. When I need to work on my French, I overdose on movies and French radio. The trick is to start thinking in the language as much as possible. Dream in it and you're ace. And after a few weeks of that, I hire a native speaking tutor -- usually a student from the U -- to help with conversational skills. That doesn't have to be a language dungeon...unless you want it to be.

And if you write, there's the title for your next novel: My Mother's Paris. Oh criminey could you make it funny.
