My new favorite thing about Paris: an underground group of cultural guerillas called the Untergunther (!!) who sneak around and restore monuments.
Klausmann and his crew are connaisseurs of the Parisian underworld. Since the 1990s they have restored crypts, staged readings and plays in monuments at night, and organised rock concerts in quarries. The network was unknown to the authorities until 2004, when the police discovered an underground cinema, complete with bar and restaurant, under the Seine. They have tried to track them down ever since.
From this article.
A conversation on a bathroom wall in a local coffeeshop:
The Morningstar was here
But now he’s next door
Will he return?
Find out next week
Same bat-time
Same bat-channel
Same bat-room
Now that I’m not spending my days memorizing the five ways to motivate underlings or depreciating bicycles, I’ve got a bit of extra time to learn Spanish, which I’m really enjoying. Sometimes I read Spanish periodicals online in the hope that I will learn new and exciting vocabulary.
Words I have learned from reading ¡Hola!, a Spanish gossip mag:
- embarazada, adj. pregnant.
- sexys, pl. adj. sexy.
- drogas, pl. n. drugs.
