In theory it should only take me 3 minutes to update this.
===================================
I do not believe I mentioned here that I would be in Paris, France, Europe, for the month of July. I might not have until it became relevant, but it might not have been relevant for a long time.

This is how Beans Cunningham died. Curse the international airport industry.
I hope your recent demise does not hinder your activities in the City of Lights. If you became a ghost, then your new paranormal form may hinder your chance to enjoy their authentic bread and mopeds, since apparitions can’t taste food, and France really discriminates on ghost from driving, or having rights, being a secular nation. What ever your plans are, I hope you have a fulfilling experience. RIP Beans.

You should go see the Villa Savoye! Everyone always says it is the one house you should recognize if you study architecture! It looks like it should look like a pleasant place on the inside, even if it looks a bit like an office on the outside. By now, it is actually quite an old place. Also, you won’t find anyone willing to build you a similar looking home for a decent price, despite the incredibly contemporary materials, as it does not look like a ranch home! The roof probably leaks quite a bit!

Man, I still don’t understand why no one wanted to let me raze Stockholm and replace it with dystopian Brutalist nightmarescape. That would have been SO AWESOME.
PurpleSpace sez:
Oh Le Corbusier, you’re so zany!

Since I do not want to spend too much time in that tomb, I will live to die again. Indeed I die a bit each day. International travel will not put it off schedule.
I have not gotten to see much artificial light in this supposed city of it since the single class I took regularly meets so early in the morning consumes so much time that going out at night (which only begins at 10pm) has left that option most unwise. I have, however, been on the same stretch of Metro subway track about 20 times.
I have had many recommendations to visit various places but not been able to fulfill any due to the already-mentioned academic commitments and worries about money. For now I rather regret the way this is happening.

i don’t expect ever to visit france, but i’m reassured to know that if i did i’d be able to purchase necessities such as a top hat and a beet larger than my head.
in what manner of lodgings have you been quartered? are you staying with a host family?
Euro Comic Stand sez:
I must have skimped your announcements too much. I thought the trip to Paris was merely for curiosity. A change in scenery. How overly romantic my assumptions were. There is nothing romantic about living on a student budget. I’m curious about what classes you’re taking and how they fare.
Heapinfrimp sez:
Ostensibly the class is “creative drawing” but up to this point it has been “drawing stuff that is already there after standing uncomfortably for an hour or more in often direct sunlight.” I did not make a big fuss about the class because I did not think it would BE a big fuss. I had previously taken two summer classes at once, one of which with the same professor, and so assumed this would be half as bad or less since I would not be needing to take buses every day.
There are four classes occurring and I did not think it feasible that I would feel the full force of that, but many of the meetings require everyone in the program to turn up, and the times are never consistent, which adds uncertainty to the discomfort. And of course the shopping is dreadful.
I am staying at the semi-competently managed Cite Universitaire. It is near a lot of things but none of the ones I have to go to. I am in the United States section, where the reception staff do not speak English, on the second floor, where the noisiest bathroom door on the planet slams intermittently all night and past students show up in the afternoon to try and get their old room back from me. This morning I think I saw a roach in person for the first time.
Heapinfrimp sez:
Oh how I do complain. At least I was lucky enough to have somebody in the street sell me this ultra valuable gold ring for far less money than it is surely worth.
