in which we are attacked by crazed french lesbians

really. Really really. it was odd: most of the time, people learn we are american (i say "from near chicago" as texas and new york are places that people have opinions about, where chicago is less controversial) and they say, oh that's great, i'm from iran, let's be best friends. Or i don't speak a word of english, but it is wonderful that you are having a baby, so here have some more noodles. Or something to that effect - people have been very welcoming. this was the first time that we were really laid into for being americans at all, like there is something i can do about where i was born at this point. That we should all just go home. Crazed french lesbians did not apply this to themselves leaving a country that is obviously just as foreign to them; and eventually the waiter came out and told them to please shut up.

also, Rhine valley most picturesque place ever. and, Gimp photo editor kind of handy, but a bit unneccessarily cumbersome for just this: anyone know where MS Office Picture Manager went when i got a new hard drive and reinstalled both windows and office? Annoyed.
