Sarko 53% Sego 47%.

Je ne sais pas comment ils l'ont fait, mais on savait les resultats avant que les polls ont ferme.

Tu sais, j'ai change le vote de lucile. Elle voulait voter pour sarkozy, mais elle netait pas totalement sure... Donc, hier soir, elle m'a appellee, et j'ai dit que j'aurais voter pour Segolene. Puis elle a vote blanc (elle est ( Read more... )

Versailles. Louis XIV would definitely win the best MTV cribz award if they ever did his house. He has m.f. huge water reservoirs just sitting right next to an astonishingly ornate private (but still considerable in size) opera, which is just a huge, mirror-lined hall away from his silver and crimson bedroom ( Read more... )

So I lived in the old jewish ghetto in Pest (the way better half of Budapest, which is split in half by the danube... and fuck, yes I sang the "blue danube waltz" pretty much the whole time I was there... except for when I was singing "hungarian dance no. 5", of course) for ten days. The world's second largest synagogue was right down the block. I ( Read more... )

I have to take this course called, "La France d'aujourd'hui" (France today) with my program. I pretty much hate the class because it's only with program kids (aka the 12 american university students... je m'en fou de temps en temps...). Furthermore, the professor is a dumbass bitch. I mean, she doesn't suck that much, but she ALWAYS says, "entre ( Read more... )

Ever since I've gotten back from that trip to England (which was two weeks ago now), I've been really tired. Maybe I'm hitting that rut where being in a different country is just tiring. Or maybe I just got sick from walking around in all that rain and it never wore off ( Read more... )

Two days ago I used the word "si" involuntarily in the right sense ( Read more... )

I was in Oxford and London from thursday night til this afternoon (monday). When I got there, I was almost speaking French to everyone I encountered. It's really a lot easier to not have to think hard about how to say what you want to say. Damn. And now that I'm back in Paris, I'm having much more difficulty speaking than before. But you know.

So ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the Centre Pompidou. I got there before it opened, so I was one of the first twenty people inside. I must say, being the only person in each room is pretty jawsome. I'd recommend going early to museums in France, for all of you that are interested. I know you all are regular Parisian museum-goers.

After I had my interview for the ( Read more... )

I have l'humanite' in my room right now. I just think it's kind of awesome that one of the top (well, you know, top 10) newspapers in France is a communist publication.

My host mom's birthday is this weekend. I have no clue what to give her. She really likes presents, but obviously I shouldn't buy something expensive. I was thinking of getting some ( Read more... )
