Bon matin. Aujourd'hui est (Mardi, Tuesday, Mangal-waar, Seshanbeh, yawm-ath-thalatha, Fidal, Sweetmorn). J'ai mal a la tete. Et je deteste les Fracaises. Maintenant, le chat est sur la table et l'amore est dans l'air. Je ne sais pas quelle je parle parce que ma Francaise est tres mal. Mais, je sais que je suis en amore avec une fille qui as le nom d'Allie. Sacre bleu. Merde. Cafe au lait.
Sorry about that.
So, I went and saw The Swell Season last night and it was pretty amazing. If you haven't seen "Once" or heard the songs from the movies, you should. I did NOT cry. But it was really hot in the Uptown Theater, and being really hot and sick, is rough. No complaints though. It was well worth it. I will say that it's not my typical concert, but it was very enjoyable. Someone thinks they're going to get me to go to a country music concert, and I think that person really has it in for me.
Today in 1527 Spanish and German troops sacked Rome. 147 Swiss Guards died protecting Pope Clement VII who fled to the Castel Sant'Angelo. Many people overlook the Castel when visiting Rome, but I have to say it's one of my favorite spots. The view from the roof is probably one of the best views in the world. And if you think that the Church is lacking money, today's picture is of Clement's bathroom in the Castel. In 1536 King Henry VIII ordered that English Bibles be placed in all churches. This is important because as we know, English is the language of God. In 1861 Arkansas seceded from the Union. Arkansas is the Natural State and is home to such natural things as Wal-Mart, Bill Clinton, and incest. The pronunciation of Arkansas was actually a subject of debate until 1881 when it was voted by the Arkansas legislature to be officically pronounced Ar-kan-saw. I have never stepped foot in Arkansas. In 1877 Chief Crazy Horse surrendered to the US Army in Nebraska. In 1889 the Eiffel Tower opened to the public. In 1937 the Hindenberg zeppelin exploded over Lakehurst, NJ killing everyone aboard. In 1954 Roger Bannister became the first person to run a sub 4-minute mile. In 1976 an earthquake killed 989 people in Friuli, a region in northern Italy. In 1988 a Norwegian plane crashed into the side of a mountain killing 36. In 1994 the Chunnel opened. There is no way in hell I would drive in a tunnel under the ocean. The potential for tragedy seems way too high. That very same day Paula Jones filed suit against Arkansas native Bill Clinton for sexual harassment. And in 2001 Pope John Paul II became the first Pope to enter a mosque.
Today is Durdevan in Serbia and Yuri's Day in Russia. These are just localized terms for St. George's Day. Apparently Yuri is Russian for George. I never knew this until today. I would never name my son George, and I would definitely never name him Yuri. But that's neither here nor there.
Happy Birthday: Pope Marcellus II; Pope Innocent X; Maximillian Robespierre, who was a real bastard; Sigmund Freud, I don't care what you say I never wanted to bone my mom; Orson Welles; Tony Blair; and George Clooney, I'm not saying that I would I would do a guy, but if I absolutely had to, if my life depended on it.... (that's a line from a movie and in the movie actually is referring to Elvis, but come on, Yuri Clooney is a good looking guy).
Two fingers and lots of love and au revoir.
