what to do when your friends are in Brussels

get the keys to their house and borrow their laptop :D

yes i am so happy lol because this computer is MINE for the majority of the weekend ^_^

i went to ye old FNAC yesterday because it was ALMOST on my way home and was dismayed to find they had every book Balzac had ever written in every edition EXCEPT the Folio Classique of La Cousine Bette. Dang tho it is long...to read in French anyhow...that could be difficult

So for any of you who have read The Da Vinci Code St. Sulpice is actually on my metro line (the four) at least i think it is...i haven't been there but that is what the stop is called so i would assume that...

Also i have heard tell of another book which rips the da vinci code to pieces as far as false facts are concerned...i mean apparently there are enough of them to write a book about...lol which is disconcerting considering that the book starts with a nice little "all the facts are true" message...

: /

today is anime and then dinner and a haircut

also some reading and showering and possibly but not likely some cleaning...

i think my reasoning is that since i have next week off of all my sorbonne classes i can just kind of chill and clean whenever i want hahaha

BWAH HAHAHAHA

what is silly is that i still have ONE class because one of my MICEFA courses has already started (without me...tyically) so i have to go to that...probably we will just watch a movie tho

and then i have anime to watch and Finding Neverland in the original English (because I missed it in the states and it looks sooooo good)

other than that i can settle into a nice long stint with my friendly dictionary to get through that novel

whoooo

XD

life is good

da vinci code. lol. maybe i'll have to read that. but then i know i'll want to read the book that disproves the facts. just so that i don't quote off of da vinci code when it's all bullpoop.

anywho, i might decide to wear glasses this year. i dunno. i go march i think or april to get eye appointment. and i either choose contacts or glasses, and maybe glasses. like get a cool pair. most likely black, and look smart. i think glasses completely change a person's look. and maybe people would feel reluctant to punch me in the face, cuz you can't hurt a gimp in glasses.

ooooooooo I bloody knew it was gonna be Cousin Bette. Good luck with that, I f@#kin' hated it. At least if I'm actually thinking of the right book I hated it... As for the Da Vinci code, lets see... Well there is absolutely no reason that the bloodline of Christ shouldn't still be extant, after all the Bible skips over the thirty years from his being born to his deciding/realising he was the Son of God. It is entirely reasonable that he would have married and had kids in that time. Other news is less reassuring however: the Templars really were destroyed by the Inquisition, there never was anything at Rennes le Chateau, and the Elders of the Priory of Scion is a proven hoax. Also the idea that Leonardo Da Vinci would have been involved in such a thing is laughable to me; if anything ol' Leo was part of a medieval group called Johnists, who took the position that the big J was a bit of a fraud really and that John The Baptist (as the man who'd brought Jesus into the church, let's remember) was actually the SoG and therefore the Big Deal. There is something called the John Gesture encoded into many of the works of these people, and you see it in Da Vincis the Last Supper. Also, if memory serves, you will notice that in Da Vinci's staging of the Last Supper Jesus is not, as was traditional at the time, centre of the composition, but is actually inferior to John The Baptist, played by none other than Da Vinci himself...
Anyway, I've been out of the paranormal investigator game for a couple of years now, so that information is really what I can scrape off the top of my head, and I suspect research has broadened and deepened the reasons why the Da Vinci Code is bullshit. On the other hand, being fiction it is allowed to make things up ne. As long as its a rattlin good yarn, who cares? Who says 'rattling good yarn' anyway?
