THE ONLY THING IS: I quit reading the only real "classic" French novel I've ever attempted (Le Capitaine Fracasse) to start on my Kerouac journey. So I guess that's not too good. I should probably be reading in French to keep my immersion level to a maximum, you know?
THUS: I started my decent into 17th century French comedy today. I grabbed an anthology of plays by Molière from the family bookshelf this morning. I decided to begin with L'École des Femmes, as I briefly studied it in my aesthetics class earlier in the semester, so I have a vague understanding of the plot. I like it so far.
MAN, AM I CULTURED OR WHAT?

I always comment about posts that mention Kerouac. Maybe you'd enjoy my Kerouac-inspired blog at www.thedailybeatblog.blogspot.com.

Oh the great french actor and plywright Molière. I studied his works last semester of Tartuffe and Misanthrope. Funny guy that Molière.
Stay warm my vagabond friend.
funny story i wanted to tell you via this instead of e-mail or facebook.
today in french class i lost it. i mean lost it. i haven't laughed so hard in so long. a friend asked how i was and i told them 'j'ai faim'...i have hunger. then i thought...which is crazier? 'i HAVE hunger' or 'i AM hunger'. i have, i am, i have, i am. i know it's silly, but it was just really funny to me at that point in time.
it's finals week. lack of sleep, can you tell?
