Holy shit, this one took me forever. Here’s a larger version if you want to appreciate all the detaily goodness.
Some people are born warriors, some are born athletes, I found out today that I was born to wield a butterfly net. As our teacher handed out the weapon, he commanded us not to come back until we each had captured five Arthropods. I placed my killing jar in the side pocket of my backpack [...]
Yep, it’s that time of year again, and I’m surprised it came so fast. In about a month I will be back in Paris, I can almost smell vacation coming - and it smells good (in case you were wondering). The more I have been away from France the more I have started to love [...]
I was bored yesterday so I wrote up a new theme for the blog. I have a couple small things I might change but I think it works quite well for me overall.
It is my intention to taste every one of New Belgium’s beers before I graduate from CC. I’m doing fairly well so far with seven out of the eleven beers they currently brew and bottle. Anyone who knows me even slightly is probably aware of my drinking ideals. I generally don’t drink the random crap [...]
Dimitri from Paris - This is another artist I have been eager to comment on. Just like Air and Philippe Zdar of Cassius, Dimitri from Paris was the fourth French artist to be awarded the medal for knights of the Order of Arts and Letters. From what you know so far, if you have been [...]
Daft Punk - I have been waiting to get to this group ever since I started the series. Daft Punk is without a doubt the most recognized of the French duos I have been presenting here, but their elusive behavior coupled with the fact that they are indeed so popular made even French people assume [...]
Welp, I got back from the apartment selection quite happy to be gone from the raging masses that gathered in Bemis. I got there just in time, glad to have left class 5 minutes early since all I could see was what seemed like hundreds of people crammed into the smallest possible hall they could [...]
Chateau Flight - Chateau Flight is another French duo of electronic artists who joined forces after years of independent work. I discovered their album, Puzzle, just a couple of months ago but I was very surprised by the quality and originality of the release. The title reflects the work perfectly. Each track has its own [...]
Putting two unrelated words together is an internet fad that seems to be persisting unreluctantly. Without much thought in the way I was herded to this practice I used the familiar device in naming my own blog. It has come to my attention however, that it doesn’t quite translate the way I had intended it [...]
I registered angoulvant.net (that’s my last name by the way) a couple weeks ago and I finally decided to put something up on it. I’ve been playing around with WordPress for a couple hours now and it seems very powerful. Gives me a lot more room for customization and beats Blogger hands down. The only [...]
Cassius - I mentioned several weeks ago in my post about Air that they had received the medal for knights of the Order of Arts and Letters in France. It so happens that Philippe Zdar, one of the two artists of the Cassius duo was also awarded this title during the ceremony. I first heard [...]
I’m not in Bioanalytical and I’m glad I never will be.
Here’s something we all should read everyday. I know I will.
