Pictures of Mont-Saint-Michel

I managed to lose the USB cable for my camera (I never thought I'd be lacking in those) so I'll have to borrow someone else's to post my own photos. But unitl then, here are some photos from last weekend on the ISA Paris website. But hurry! They'll only be there for a week!

I'm going to Loudres...

...tonight with one of my catholic friends. Mutual prayer time?
Hasta martes!

La Grève

Yeah, it was yesterday. But whatev (which rhymes with grève)
Yesterday, for no really good reason that I could see, everyone in the entire country was on strike. Not literally everyone, but it was national and for just one day. Even the local public park was "on strike" (closed for the day).
It makes very little sense to me, coming as I do from an American and not very labor-union-savvy background. But I was under the impression, and correct me if I'm wrong, that unions only used strikes for specific purposes, i.e. to accomplish something. I asked Madame why they were striking, and she looked at me like I was completely dense and said, "Because the economy's bad and they're not making enough money."
Yeah. Great. But did striking for one day and messing up countless people's lives who take the regional trains every day actually accomplish anything? Why do all the unions have to strike at once? Why, if they did accomplish something (a better contract, for example), did they strike at all or why didn't the strike last much longer?
Yes. I know. I'm being unreasonably demanding. There's no reason I should expect the French labor system to make any sense.
I'd just like to get your takes on it, too. Maybe I'm missing something.

Frenzier

Alright, that idea didn't last long.
I've changed my mind to an even better one.
I'm going to write a trilogy of radio drama episodes. These will have the added benefit of being privately producible. So the idea is, once the script is written and edited, I can record it and put it out as a podcast. I'll put out the casting call probably late-April-ish, once the characters are better set up.
At least, that's the idea.
So keep your eye out for that! I think it could be a lot of fun.

Yeah people, I'm hooked on NaNo.
And this is the official announcement that I'm going to participate in Script Frenzy next month. (I don't feel like putting a link here, but there's one on the right side of the page.)
I'm going to try my hand at a TV script and, I think, though I haven't decided officially yet, that it will have something to do with guardian angels...
That will be your teaser. But why don't you all look into the challenge yourself? I've never written a script either, but I can pretty much guarantee that this will be the most fun ever!
See you at the red carpet!
