Eclair

Sometimes, I practice my rusty French in the rain.

Can I Have My Clothes Back

Not a proper comic, but a doodle I made for class today. Apparently Victor Hugo would write in nude and have his valet hide his clothes so that he couldn't leave the house until he was finished writing for the day.

Blickfang Po

It's on ARTE so I can pretend I'm sophisticated.

It's Eternal

We had a philosophizing model for our anatomy/life drawing class.

Linguistic Identity Crisis

For my polyglot-friends.

Squirrels are complicated

Why's it so impossible to pronounce in every single language (except for Japanese)? Is it as weird-sounding in other languages too?

Linguistic Revelation

Accidents

So many of the best things in life have been accidents, including learning French. It was really convenient because we just happened to move to France a few years later. R also ended up spending quite a while in South America, so it all worked out well.

Frenchy

Yikes! Past (way past) midnight--again! I had to go to a going away dinner after my German class tonight, so I got home late. And then G and I had to battle it out on online Bananagrams, so hence the belated update.

I'm pretty much the secretary of the household so I make a lot of reservations and whatnot on the phone. I got an interesting comment the other day . . .

Is my German Frenchy-sounding? I don't think so . . .

Delicious Diagrams

I've been learning French for ** years and I didn't even know that pie charts were called "camembert" en francais. How awesome is that?

Btw, in Japanese, it's just "circle graph." Bo-o-oring! They should've called it liked...okonomiyaki chart. Or something. Anything!

La bouche

Linguistic brain fart.

Jean-Michel

My African liquor brings all the girls to the yard.

Or not.
