dear old blighty, hold on to your friends, traffic jam in memory lane, i'm throwing my arms around paris

I started my intensive french course this morning. Three hours a day for two weeks, plus homework. There's seven of us and a teacher from Paris. The teacher thinks I should be upgraded to Intermediaire Intensif. I think the teacher gave us too much homework for tonight. One of my classmates was once an assistant to Prince Charles (!?)

I just got back from the Institut Français, where I was tested and interviewed; they placed me in the intermediaire intensive course that starts in two weeks. That's three hours a day for two weeks, which I'm planning on treating like a full immersion by only reading stuff in french, watching french films, etc, during that period. The Institut is ( Read more... )

Rent for a two-person flat is around 500 euros. Jobs for those who speak cranky French but fluent English are available. But I could also just take out a loan and be a ( Read more... )

Until You Evaporate Into the Night

Despite attending a "lame" fetish night at Slimelight on Friday, then not getting any sleep, tina found enough strength yesterday to get on a train from Walthamstow and come meet the actor who plays Kevin and I at Liverpool Street Station. Every Londoner was out and about after a smiley sun rose above the capital. She looked gorgeous as ever, ( Read more... )

The Sausage Party

It was an unusually beautiful Sunday in London, the likes we haven't seen this summer. So, of course, Kevin and I filled our thermos with coffee, grabbed some books and a bedsheet, then headed for Victoria Park for a bit of sunshine. Lying on the grass, listening to my new iPod, watching a young boy play football with his father and grandfather, ( Read more... )

Tower Block Office

I'm doing two things today I've never done before:

1) working from home
2) visiting a police station to hand in criminal evidence of a robbery

My temporary office, located in a charming tower block that overlooks the East End, has run out of coffee and biscuits; a trip to the cornerstore may be in the cards. I've got All Flashback Alternatives ( Read more... )
