Today was my first day of class. I'm so excited. I was at school so early I had time to watch a movie before class started. I watched 8 Women by François Ozon, which stars one of my favourite actors, Isabelle Huppert. I could watch her forever. I'd take her over Catherine Deneuve any day. And the maid, Emmanuelle Béart, looks exactly like Cillian Murphy. It's bizarre how much she looks like him.
I didn't know the film was a musical. It was a pleasant surprise. Izzy's song is the best, of course.
I also have a few posts I haven't published because I couldn't upload images for a while. Seems to be working again so I'll get those up soon.
Also, it turns out I live in Greenpoint, not Williamsburg. I like it here. I sat on my stoop last night for the first time with my Pollack neighbours (is calling them "Pollacks" racist?). It's Polish here, but not Roncesvalles Polish. They are nice and none of them are stealing dirt from the construction sites in the dead of night or blocking the sidewalks or stopping to listen to other people's conversations. That's definitely racist.

Isabelle Huppert is fantastic.
Polack is supposedly pejorative but it's just Polish for a Polish man so I feel okay about it. Like "Russky" or "Mexican." But then, Nippon just means "Japan"...
