Thanks to the Great White Antelope, who, by the elven magic of Photoshop and some innate artistic ability turned this picture of Audrey Tautou into a swanky new desktop pour monsieur's computer. She did it by drawing with something she called "vector shapes," but I'm sure that's just witchery speak for some such ungodly magic.

Clearly, it would be difficult to diminish the beauty of Ms. Tautou, who could be Icelandic with all her pixie-like yumminess. Instead she is French, which is okay by me. We had a French exchange student once, and she looked kind of like a young Isabella Rossellini. While she was in our home, we sat up late nights and watched independent movies together. I'm sure if either of us smoked, we would have smoked clove cigarettes out of black holders and talked about the latest art openings before having dirty monkey sex. We took her to see Pulp Fiction; I said "I liked Reservoir Dogs better." She said "So did I." Of course, we weren't meant to be, because I was head over heels for some cunt, and she had to go back to France, where she's probably saying things like "Ah yes, Kill Bill was fun, but it was so derivative," right now. Ah well. L'amour.

Anyway, Audrey Tautou is 100% groovy, and now, so is my desktop.

The French smoke Gauloises, don't you know that? Pretentious Americans smoke clove cigarettes. I tried it once 'cause this girl said how they tasted marvelous and they don't. They really don't. They taste like.. Ok, grab some incense. Suck on it. That's what they taste like.

The only cigarettes that'll make dark yellow puddles in your lungs with black gravel chunks for frosting faster than Newports are cloves. They're horrible.

I think Audrey is wonderful too. I saw a movie recently in which she housesits for somebody and stalks the doctor living a few doors down. She does insanity just as well as wistful cuteness.

yeah...sometimes i like the taste of cloves, because it reminds me of christmas dinner, but after a night full of jaegermeister, guinness and cheap champagne, it makes for some nasty vomit.

let me know if you remember the name of that movie. i'd like to check it out.

audrey, c'est bon. such eyes. such hair. such a mouth. so french.

clove cigarettes are evil incarnate and have been known to cause suicide in pregnant bovines. they were big when i was in college (oh those many years ago) and you could just frickin' smell it from 500 feet away.
