I spent the weekend of November 14-17th in Paris. I needed a change of scenery and that is just what I got.
I went to see my first play entirely in French, most of which I understood. Les Hommes Preferent Les Blonds, it didn’t occupy the highest brow on the cultural ladder but I got [...]

I received my new carte de sejour!
I am once again legal to live and work in France for another year. I am set until December of 2009. This time around I worried a bit because I was changing my statute. It was quite easy and painless. This time there were no special circumstances and I could provide all the things they [...]

J’irai dormir à Hollywood, I saw the movie last Friday
