That ain't Coke in that can...


An American Vampire in Paris. Photo by Eric Zino.

I wrote about this pic the other day, remember? I was excited to finally receive it from Eric today. I thought I looked kind of concerned here, like I'm looking around for the vampire, but in sending me this picture and some others this afternoon, Eric went on to say...

"By the way, in the photo where you are standing next to the vampire warning sign, it seems as if you are in fact the vampire and therefore there is something so triumphantly defiant about the way you're standing in the shadow at the very edge of the sun's reach."
And that's a lot cooler, so let's go with that. It's kind of insane that this scene happened a few days before — and completely unrelated to — the Drakulah Frantsooski incident. My life doesn't really revolve around vampires all that much, you guys, seriously. By the way, I think the Coca-Cola Corporation owes me like ten bucks for this sweet product placement. With the exchange rate as it is right now, that'll just about buy me another Coke.

P.S. If my life were the television show Lost, some nerd would be posting on a message board somewhere right now to say, "in last night's episode look closely at the tie manning is wearing in the 'vampire in paris' photo. this is the same tie he was wearing at ben and corri's wedding (s3e9). any theories as to what this could mean? time travel?????"

Haha! And you're right, it does look like a word balloon for the Coke can, doesn't it?

it's because you're sucking it's Cokey essence out of the can.

Awesomeness.

I wish I were on Rue Lepic right now; I'd buy a fruit tart.

(PS: Merge reply to other post here: I get what you mean about seeing the Eiffel Tower; for me, it was spending a year in Athens as an undergrad and looking up and saying, Damn, it's the freakin' Acropolis!)

Thanks! I appreciate you noticing! It's good to know at least one other guy who understands vanity.

Your tie should just reach the top of your belt. WTF!

Oh man, when you're 5'8" and you tie your tie so the two ends are perfectly even, it still comes down to the mid-point of your belt buckle, and that's simply gotta be good enough for me. I'm also slouching a little bit in the pic. Hey, anyhow, I appreciate knowing a guy who cares about this stuff.
