on a side note:

while with my parents we saw an exhibit in one of the Chateau's in the Loire Valley...I believe it was Chenonceau...anyway. They had a special exhibit going on. Basically porno drawings and sculptures. Mind you, I saw this with my parents there. now, why is it that this sort of thing always happens to me anyway?...

well...i took some pictures. hah. while they were meandering through, thankfully ahead of me. we didn't speak of it afterwards, other then a mere two-second mention from my mom. i don't think i can post those pictures tho. if anyone's interested. i'll email.
