Still quiet here. You probably guessed that, didn’t you? Here’s some pics I took going to the “Contreoverses” exhibit: This is on a street next to the library, I forget which street, it intersects the Rue de Richelieu. The library itself, from within the courtyard. Pretty, innit? Not to complain about my Analyse de Textes […]

I was logged on here to delete the latest spam comments and I figured I might as well post, since it’s been almost a week since the last one. Life has just been completely devoid of things worth writing. Even the laundry room has been in perfect working order. Nothing to complain about. Nothing new, […]

Paris continues to be, as somewhat predicted, a bit dull, what with school being almost over. I suppose I really should go visit and touristify and so on. My last class of the semester is tomorrow afternoon. Honestly, the most exciting thing to happen recently is a fire on my stove last night, and that’s […]

Colorful underpass. Was intrigued by these statues. Went down to the level of the canal thingy there and noticed lots of other artsiness: More statues! Goose! Peek-through sculpture thingumy. Another statue! Them pig things again from another angle. Kings Cross. Had work going on. I wandered about a bit before going to get my train […]

I said I’d post pictures. I am now posting pictures. This demonstrates what a good and trustworthy individual I am, no? Apparently France is stalking me: Ooh hey, isn’t this an esthetically pleasing building, in a low-key kinda way? This would be Oxford: The Oxford Tube shuttle-bus thing is very convenient, plenty of easy-to-get-to stops […]

And here I go again with the rationing of the photos. Really, I’ve got enough for 2-3 posts, of London and Oxford and all that. And they’re even uploading as I write this. Thing is, I know that tomorrow the Discovery of Paris class isn’t going anywhere new (we’re having an end-of-class picnic-type thingy, same […]

I had things all nicely planned out, see? On Friday night, I’d post the rest of the pics from Bercy, along with witty captions and biting comments about French people’s frenchness and all the usual stuff, perhaps go into a rant along the way, who knows. And I’d have pics from Thursday as well, where […]

Wednesday as usual was a lovely class trip for Discovery of Paris. In this case, to Bercy, in the 12th. Here are pictures: Sculpturey whatsit by the Metro station. Ministry of Finance building. The Palais Omnisports. Apparently the turf on the sides wasn’t added till a good while after construction; it had metal or something […]

So there I was at the Quick by the Barbès-Rochechouart Métro station, enjoying the atmosphere — which is basically the European equivalent of Wendy’s, non-McDonald’s fast food with a generally red-and-white color scheme — and determined to be glum and preemptively mourn my GPA, which stands currently at 3.988 and is definitely going to take […]

I said I’d have pictures of the inside of the church, didn’t I? Here we go! First, a helpful sign at the entrance. I kinda misunderestimated when to take the picture as I was walking by following the professor, but the cut-off letters can be deduced with relative ease, I hope. Nice old wooden statue […]
