oh wowow it's going to be October tomorrow--I've been here for a while. And during this while, I've been getting to know my host family pretty well.
Actually, my host family is just host mom. Her name is Arlette. She is 60, but looks like she's 59!! Kidding. She actually looks like she's 45 I don't know how she does it. She's super energetic and walks around in the apartment in 4 inch heels. She is always trying to get me out of the house. HAHAHA how she has failed. She was born near Toulons, I think, and came to Aix to work for a bank and she stayed. She is divorced and has two daughters and some grandkids too.
She has a boyfriend who comes on the weekends. He is bald now but he used to be a child hair model or something? He gave me his card. His name is Andre and he works in something that involves George Cloony but I can't remember what.
They talk about George Clooney a lot. Last night, during dinner, Arlette got up to look on the internet at all the girlfriends George Clooney has ever had. Arlette really enjoys going on the internet. She gets very excited everytime a disagreement comes up during dinner so that she can look up THE FACTS on the internet.
One time though, I asked them if they like Francois Holland, and she and Andre disagreed about their politics. This disagreement was not easily resolved by the internet, and they ended up in a very heated argument. It was pretty awkward for me, but they're still together so it's ok...
Arlette also likes to during dinner watch this one show that's like that show that was on Fox for like 3 months where you have to remember the lyrics to a song. It was hosted by Wayne Brady I think? Andre does not like the show very much. He think it is too loud.
Dinner in general is the funnest funniest thing, but I might not be able to make it through all of them. Arlette has a tendency to drop random pieces of plastic and other carcinogens into the food she cooks, and then puts them into the oven. Yesterday there was one of those large plastic hooks under the fish. She was just like lol and then gave the piece of fish to me completely normal like. I've also found a plastic wrapper in the omelette and a milk bottle lid in the quiche. They tasted fine and it kind of just makes me laugh, but anyways I think I might die soon.
