But you say, “Mais mon ami, Sac, your French is, how you say, shit, how can you you teach us?” You see, my little love piggies, I have been doing the […]

A Revolutionary Froggy Snog Blog

August 23rd, 2009 · 11 Comments

So, I think we all know from A Tale of Two Cities, that the French Revolution was the worst of times, and that it all started by the storming of the Bastille, the great medieval prison on the right bank in Paris. So I went there today, totally pumped to see the guillotine guys out […]

In France, French Bread is just called Bread

August 19th, 2009 · 11 Comments

Paris: 6:00 AM It’s been years since I’ve seen 6:00 AM from either side of the clock. Let’s face it, it’s too fucking early to get up, unless you’re a fisherman or a soldier, and even then it’s still too early, and it’s too late to be up, unless you’re 20 or snorting meth, and […]

Je suis ecossais An American In Paris 2

August 12th, 2009 · 11 Comments

So I knew some time ago that I was going to go to France to research my next book, and my entire French vocabulary consisted of: “Two coffees and two croissants”, “please”, “thank you”, “hello”, and “the dog is on the table” I didn’t figure that it was enough to get me through a long […]

An American In Paris

August 11th, 2009 · 17 Comments

If you haven’t been there, it seems all too romanticized, all very cheesy, existential, bohemian — LaCroix dahling, LaCroix — so so fucking French. If you have been there, you have your own Paris, it’s yours, and believe it or not it is, will always be, better than mine. I just learned this last night. […]
