Yesterday, I started playing Jean Paul's piano, and it seemed to make him really happy. He told me his wife used to play, and he missed hearing it in the apartment. I played Satie's Gymnopodies and he said it was one of his favorites. It made me realize how much I miss playing piano too, even at Columbia. And it wasn't so bad playing and looking out the window onto the streets of Paris.

At dinner, Jean Paul also told me stories about how when he was in high school, he would skip class and go to the movies. So French! He worked as a helper for the first guy in France to ever preserve and replay movies. Très cool, Jean Paul, très cool.

Also, my friend Joe and I hung out with French kids on Monday! We went into the banlieue (suburbs), where a lot of French college kids live and hung out at this girl's apartment.

Also, bought my tickets to London, so I'm officially going there!

Also, I'm getting lazy about blog posts. I'm finding that most blogworthy news is better told in conversation. So just...get at me, kids.
