The oldest sound recording was unearthed, it's from 1860, and that's pretty awesome. Listen to its garbledy here. Or read the Reuters article on it here.

Le Gross
OK. I understand that there is like, zero space for standing on the Eiffel Tower. That the lines to get to the top are out of control. That the scary observatory makes you feel like that big German man behind you is going to push you 900 feet down with his belly.
But really? This is kind of gross.
NOT as gross, however, as what my own city is vomming up in the architecture department.
That nasty glass penis isn't fit for any skyline.

I promise, I'm still alive and okay!
I am still alive.
I am not avoiding you by choice, but when your internet access is about 2 hours a week and you have no phone, communication is tough.
France is hot. REALLY hot.
I left Arles and went to Paris in a weekend.
Here are a few of the highlights:
²being woken up at 5:55 am by my friend for our 6;05 am train
²running to the train SOMEHOW in time
²almost getting kicked off train
²not checking into hotel and instead immediately going to lourve
²all toursity things: lourve, notre dame, sacre coeur, musee d'orsay, eiffel tower, les invalides, moulin rouge,
;;;finish this later...tough keyboards, too... But I want you all to know I am alive and that I miss you all a lot.
