I loved her in Winter’s Bone. I hope she gets back to less blockbuster-y movies soon. Very talented.

My husband, who’s the greatest actor in the world, can do anything. Look at what he did in The Critic and Oedipus. In every role he gets–he did this in Richard the Third–there’s nothing he can’t do, nothing. Just nothing. — Vivien Leigh

It seems like there are basically three conditions under which people miss someone. When you wish you could revisit past conditions or feelings (i.e. “I miss when you asked me to hang out every day but now you don’t even respond to my texts”), when a person feels so nervous and jealous about…

This is not Berlin, it’s not Hong Kong
Not Tokyo,
But if you want to go, I’ll take you back one day.” - The Bay, Metronomy

It’s scary to think that it’s my last month in the South of France. I’ve suddenly realised I haven’t spent enough time on the beach staring out at the Meditteranean. I have no idea when I’ll be in Europe next so Je dois profiter bien (I have to make the most of this). So I’m setting myself a challenge. To see if I can hit a new beach every week until I leave.
Last weekend, my dad surprised me by coming to Aix and I took him to see the Plage du Prado in Marseille. From the Gare Routiere in Aix take the Navette to Marseille, that comes along every 5 to 10 minutes. Then when you reach Gare St. Charles take the metro line towards St. Marguerite and get off at Rond Point de Prado. Take the long walk down Avenue de Prado or get onto the next bus you see. It will drop you off right by the beach. Thank god, we have pictures, for when adjectives fail.


9) Some other recommendations I’ve been given are…
Le Tire Bouchon (Rue Felibre Gault). Apparently they have a good three course meal for 20 euro.
Burger Bar (Place de Augustins) Why would you come to France to eat burgers, you ask? Good point. Apparently they have quite a french take on the whole things with a tartare burger and a duck burger etc.
Ze Bistro (7 Rue de La Couronne) is supposed to be a good fine dining bistro place.
L’Epiciere (Place de Trois Ormeaux) is a well-curated caviste and gourmet food shop to visit. Now that I hear they have a restaurant. My interest is piqued.
Le Carton Rouge (Rue Isolette) was recommended to me by my boss. I saw it on the way back from dinner and it seemed like a nice place to have assorted charcuterie and cheese with a some wines by the glass.
10) If in doubt go to Chez Grand Mere (Rue Isolette). They serve really good home french cooking as promised by the name. The interior is a bit weird but in a comforting eccentric aunt sort of way. But if you can snag a seat outside the fountain then you’ll be the envy of everyone walking by. Portions are generous, prices are fair and the attentive, welcoming staff speak French and English. If you call 2 days ahead they can make you bouillabaisse. The snails, as a starter, were divine though I was tempted by the frog legs in parsley and the smooth-looking fennel and lentil soup of the day that my father had. I had wine-braised beef cheeks on polenta that was absolutely fabulous and the pieds au paquet was a winner too. My neighbour’s mushroom and scallop risotto looked perfect as well. Well-loved two-course dinner for two, with two glasses of wine was around 70 euro.
