Well, well.  There is obviously not much going on around here, I've had nothing to blog about for the last week!  Actually, last night I went to a bar in town with some friends to check out karaoke night, which is every Wednesday.  Normally, I think karaoke is a hoot--once you get over the initial embarrassment it can be really fun and hilarious.  So we had a few beers to warm up, I convinced Sam to sing a duet with me, and we picked an N*sync song (classic, right?) since they didn't have "Party in the USA".  An hour later, our song still hadn't come up, but we were forced to sit through a dozen drunken renditions of terrible French songs from the 80s.  I mean the crappiest, sappiest songs about being lonely and following your lover wherever he goes, etc.  So finally, we got so tired we aked the DJ could he please play our song or delete it from the queue because we needed to leave.  It turned out he had already deleted it because this wasn't the democratic karaoke I'm used to but the autocratic kind where the DJ has complete control and puts on the songs he likes, and not the ones the patrons pick.  So it looks like Le Moderne lost at least one patron for their karaoke night--that'll show them!

And now, I'm starting to get restless--it's time to hit the road again.  I have one more class tomorrow morning, then I'm on a train headed for Paris and it's all north from there!  I would normally say that I will be less available internet-wise, but given my current internet situation, I may actually be on the internet more in hostels and at friends' houses than chez moi in Tarbes.  So look for updates soon!
