sub_dividedYes, my mother's fiftieth birthday. I made her--among other things--a mix CD. ^^;; The only thing more tacky than that would be to share it.
You're laughing, aren't you. But I swear it's appropriate! The songs are all at least partially in French, and as you can see, I also made a cover (all pictures from the NYT's online photo archive) with "happy birthday" and "for mom" printed all over it. The French Connection comes in for a few reasons, namely 1) my mother is a crazy mad francophile 2) she used to live in Paris 3) she and my father were just there for a week (birthday present from him to her. !!!!) A language isn't really a legitimate theme for a mix since that's like making "includes guitars" a theme, but this is a commemorative thing? *shifty look*
I'm hesitant to put up the files since half of them are from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fst and the other half are from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sesame_seed with like three exceptions and man, do I feel like an unoriginal cheater. But there was no time no time no time so I went with what I had on hand.
[edit - files taken down]
Damn, I forgot to ask for copies of the Paris pictures. They were really pretty, if far too numerous--bad thing about digital cameras, people using them have absolutely no restraint.
Finally saw Howl's Moving Castle and didn't think it was all that bad. Except, you know, for the part where they turned Winn Jones' world into early-20th-century-Japan-in-hindsight. Eh?
