Music and quidditch, huh? Aren't we cultured!

Actually, I do want to say thanks to Hufflepuff, because that was a damn good game. Half the satisfaction in having won comes from knowing we were pushed to excel by a truly excellent opponent, which you certainly were. The great keeping obviously stands out in my mind, but Vi, your arm is a menace, and I mean that in the best way.

Speaking of culture, let's get our Louvre on! Roman antiquities and stuff stolen by pillaging Francophiles in the Near East will obviously be fascinating, but tell you the truth, I am most eager to see the Islamic Art collection. A whole different mindset and alternative history on display. I just wish they had better representation of Asian or African art. Mona Lisa whatEVER, man.

You wait, just to top it, Theatre'll hit up the Beijing Opera, and then I'll die of jealousy.

And we're going to the Louvre. I don't know how much time that's going to leave for the rest of Paris. While I am certainly going to be campaigning for breakfast in Montmatre, even if it's beyond kitsch these days, I will lose some respect for the school administration if they let us loose on Rue Saint-Honoré. ~~Also I hate the damn French~~

	Okay. I am now jealous of your trip. I didn't think anything could top Music Appreciation. I was wrong. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hey, it sounded like the Philharmonic was pretty sweet. ...no, I can't keep this up. This field trip ~~fucki~~ rules, and we are the luckiest club, it's all true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I dunno. Art doesn't move the soul in quite the same way ... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What, aurally? Facetiousness aside, you're right. I think, weirdly enough, that art's a more cerebral experience - emotive too, but connects to your emotions via your brain. But that's what I like about it: good art makes me think. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	My menacing arm and I thank you. I'm so jealous you're going to Paris. Sneak me with you! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	We're going to Paris on a school trip. I honestly don't know how much jealousy that's going to be worth. But I bet you're totally small enough to fit in my luggage, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vismith 2010-07-12 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	Plenty of jealousy is necessary! I may not be small enough to fit in your luggage... but I'm sure I can do something about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shrinking yourself or enlarging my bag? Mini-Vi would be so cute! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could kick Barbie's arse with one hand tied behind your back. Even if she double-teamed you with Ken. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It was a very good match. Hufflepuff played extremely well. Do you have a fascination with the Middle East? (Reply to this) (Thread)

There's that spirit of sportsmanship that Hogwarts likes to think it instills in us!

You are aware, right, that the largest Muslim nation in the world is actually Indonesia? But yeah, I kinda do, I guess. I mean, Mesopotamia is the cradle of most modern civilisations. You can't be interested in people and where we come from and not care at least a bit about the Middle East.

	Ha, Hogwarts hasn't had much influence on that. Hm. No I wasn't aware of that but you teach me something new daily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure! Anything in particular? I'm sure they do postcards of all the major works in the Louvre, if you have a favourite. (Reply to this) (Parent)
