I think that last "O" in Bobino just blew a smoke cloud! <BR/><BR/>Eric, thanks for the link to the French choir singing the US national anthem (all the verses, no less!). I recognized so many of the settings from photos you've shown us (especially the bicycle rider!)or places I'd seen. I liked that it was in black and white. It's the first I've heard of this goodwill movement. I was touched by the film. Un vrai ami vous dira la vérité de vous.

Well, that's the only law I've ever studied, but I have several friends who are either on the way to becoming lawyers or beginning to WISH they were, as jobs in academia (if you are an arts graduate) are pretty thin on the ground. But, as I said, I am well versed in being "a law unto myself" and intend to carve out a niche for myself - as I always have - regardless of how things might appear.Volmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752019421419951656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-57558084539407951302008-04-16T01:17:00.000+02:002008-04-16T01:17:00.000+02:00Corinne,Thank you for the message!

There are other options in Europe, Britain, Canada and America that are also possibilities, and it might be better to study in an English speaking city and just have Paris as a place where I can consider myself to be more or less on holiday. We'll see...<BR/><BR/>I've submitted my first lot of work for this semester, but won't know how I've scored for another few weeks. I'm happy with what I've written, though, and am actually looking forward to the research (i.e. long) essays I will soon have to start getting stuck into. For Art History, I'm thinking of writing on either Caspar David Friedrich or Georges Seurat - but this may change when they finally release the topic list, as there are many other artists - both major and minor - who would also make interesting subjects.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, I don't have any exams this semester.Volmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752019421419951656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-2258148396351807972008-04-15T23:51:00.000+02:002008-04-15T23:51:00.000+02:00You are in Paris PHX?

I could NOT find Bobino! But what interesting streets. There were so many theaters to choose from, I can see why the street was named Gaiety.

The advertising, road signs and neons invade the city, the space of reality becomes space of representation.

I'm sure it's possible to find a link between your studies and the studies provided by the French Universities. Don't try the Parisian ones but the ones of suburbs. I live in Paris and didn't manage to go to La Sorbonne because my high school (!) was in suburbs. Go figure.
