Happy Bastille Day! Today the French celebrate the event that sparked the French revolution. In honor of our Francophone friends, what is your favorite French thing? Bonus points for answers en français.

MY FAVOURITE FRENCH THING IS ME. AND CHEESE. BUT I'M MORE AWESOME THAN CHEESE.

Let's celebrate France getting rid of the aristocrats and the monarchy with a good old troop parade, which I like to think is Sarkozy's way of telling us never to try to revolt again. But I'm just bitter, so
VIVE LA FRANCE!

On an unrelated note, I've started watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which is totally made of awesome. I love sitcoms with awful people, rude and dishonest. It's much more realistic and entertaining than ~~good~~ or just plain stupid people.
I've also finished reading The Rain Before It Falls by Jonathan Coe, it was heartbreaking, really good. A fascinating family
Also, one of my post got posted at Oh No They Didn't! It makes me ridiculously happy because my posts been rejected countless of times before :)

HELLO :D
THIS WEEK = WIN! So much stuff happened, it was truly wonderful :) On Monday, I gave my blood for the first time, it was great although I felt a little weird afterwards. On Tuesday evening, two of my best friends, my twin and I went out to get a little drunk on St Patrick's but France is total fail and no bar sold any Guinness. I understand why St Paddy isn't celebrated or known in France but a little effort? Still, it was great. The hangover on a Wednesday? Not so much. I caught a cold and had to stay in bed all afternoon, losing precious time to work on my philosophy essay. But eh, nevermind cauz I finished it today :D
On Thursday, I went to a demonstration in Lille. You might have heard of the strikes and demonstrations. A lot of different people came and it gave me hope about how a nation could stand up to its leader. Really wonderful :)

I took a few photos, I think they give you a good idea of the atmosphere. The huge weird babies are part of a project called Lille 3000.
photos :D )

Hopefully, all of this won't be in vain :)

Anyway, BSG finale was broadcasted yesterday, wasn't it? PLEASE DON'T SPOIL ME! I'm only two or three episodes behind and I'd be very angry if someone posted spoilers without a cut. Hope it was good and wow, I can't believe it's already over. I discovered it last year I think and it certainly is one of the best tv shows ever. I'l miss it :'
