Song of the day

After my trip to Paris I've been kinda angry and annoyed with some french people, and the language has therefore been kind of a turn off for me. Unfortunately I still feel the same way about people from France, which makes me a racist, but today I just re-experienced Corynne Charby, my most significant girl-crush when I was a kid, so, this is the song of the day "Pile Ou Face":

Well Well

I barely have time to get neither cultural nor intelletssssschual these days, or maybe I'm just incredibly lazy. So what to write about? what to write about indeed. I am currently in the process of semi-reading a couple of books, two of which I'd like to share some thought on.
1: Physiologie du Gout - a book from 1700-something that reveals the basics of gastronomy and also blabs out a couple of very sexist, very hilarious aforisms, such as "A Dessert without cheese is like a wonderful woman, with one eye missing". It is written in a very solemn and serious tone which makes this 'food-manifest' a very enjoyable and amusing read, especially for fans of gastronomy and/or the mentioning of anything edible.
2: Graphic Storytelling - a guide to creating a coherent, functioning and rythmic graphic storyline (comics red.) by one of my heroes, the brilliant Will Eisner. I own the "New YorK" book which is one of my all time favorite books/graphic novels. This book, graphic storytelling, is an interesting way of experiencing the process of drawing and designing comics and graphic novels, again something that is maybe a bit niche (not to toot my own horn but my gawd what a complex outcast I am indeed) but very comforting on a rainy day.
So there - that was "litterature".
concerning the subject of light entertainment such as cinema and crappy tv-shows I haven't really got the emotional energy to start watching all the fancy Nouvelle Vague and german expressionist films that I probably ought to watch, therefore I continue to watch my old, moldy favorite films such as "Mig og Charlie", "Harold and Maude", "Pretty in Pink" etc. And I am naturally still hooked on The Mighty Boosh.
Ps. God it's lovely to actually have readers!
Cheers people

Les Chansons d'Amour

"Les Chansons d'Amour", French musical-ish romantic drama by Christophe Honoré. I didn't quite understand it, since there were no subtitles, neither english nor french, BUT I've looked very much forward to seeing it, and the bits I understood were good, bit melo-dramatic at certain points though. However the songs are fantastic and very sweet and also ....LOUIS GARREL (The Dreamers, not as talented as he is beautiful) OMG,OMG,OMG ...and Louis Garrel in bed with another boy (OMFG,OMFG,OMFG). Incidentally: Ludivine Sagnier (DITTO,DITTO,DITTO), the most beautiful woman in the world, I think. (Gouttes d'eau sur pierres brûlantes)
I liked that it was a sort-of musical, but yet a bit too serious to really be a part of the general musical-genre.
I am definitely gonner watch this one again, maybe with some sort of translation-aid at hand though.
