In France, medical school is quite different than in USA. Anyone who graduated from high school can get in, but the first year is very competitive: you have exams wherein you are ranked, and at the end of the first year only the top 10% or so can make it through. In some way, instead […]
As you may have noticed, I had been quite quiet during March and Avril. I think it may now be a good time to reflect on what happened: I moved back to France, “definitely”, leaving my friends, my nicely-paid job, and my life as I now had used it to be, “to purse other opportunities” […]
One of my favorite poem (after Ariette III from Verlaine), best read aloud
Petite épître au Roi
–
En m’ébattant je fais rondeaux en rime,
Et en rimant bien souvent je m’enrime ;
Bref, c’est pitié d’entre nous rimailleurs,
Car vous trouvez assez de rime ailleurs,
Et quand vous plaît mieux que moi rimassez,
Des biens avez et de la rime assez :
Mais […]
Jean-Michel Hervé, as known as TuO died at the age of 28 from a brain cancer.
TuO was an old friend back from the good old days, from the demomaking days. He was one of the main coder/programmer of the demomaking group called SkyTech, in which I was member too - along with some other close […]
I lost faith in humanity long time ago. And the truth is that I don’t really do anything to prevent from this mood. Quite the contrary in fact.
Below you’ll find two videos I recently watched, which are quite representative of the videos I watch all day long. A warning though: although I find them very […]
When it comes to American people speaking about the French or French people speaking about Americans, it usually ends up being just caricatures or plain opinions said as facts. While some of them are remotely true, most are just stupid and insulting.
I don’t quite understand why the French-American relationship is always so passionate. Probably because […]
Hey guys, check out the Videos and Films page. I added Hate Trailer and the videos are now on youtube, so it should work pretty much everywhere.
I noticed that Hate trailer is 16/9 vertically stretched though… We’ll need to reencode that.
Congratulation to Vijay who made it to the final of the nycmidnight screenwriter’s challenge 2006!
You can check it out yourself: Group 13 results. The theme for this group was “Soldier(s) drama”, and he finished first in his group. Not bad!
The second round (and final) will be on September 22th 11:59PM EST. Let’s hope for the […]
So… It’s saturday afternoon, the weather is f*cking gorgeous (ok… that’s not so unusual in California…), no cloud in the sky, and this is the first weekend for a long time you don’t have anything you have to do. No film to shoot and no super-duper urgent thing to do at work. In other words […]
Ok, I’m going to try to update this blog more often now.
So today’s topic is photography. As my photo gallery should show you, I kind of like doing photography… I’ve always been fascinated by people portraits, and especially female fine art (implied) nude. Yes I know how it sounds like… That’s the problem I had […]
