Wow

So I was wondering how to start this post and so I went back and read the beginning of the post from last week and ended up reading the whole thing. So good, I don't know how I'm going to be able to follow that.

Sooo I waaaas going to post more often but then nothing happened this week so I kind of put it off. Right now I'm taking a break from reading The Epic of Gilgamesh (pretty epic) but I'll do the best I can:

Bobby's last two days in Paris passed by in similar fervor. We decided to go check out Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter. When we got near the area, we saw this "No Holding Hands" sign so we had to stop:


Then we went to the actual cathedral and walked around inside. I don't want to put up any pictures of that but there was this really cool tree in the back:


Then we went and ate dinner at some fancy pants restaurant (10 euros for three courses). It was so good I forgot to take pictures of the last two courses but this was the salad:


Then we saw this dude making giant bubbles in front of Notre Dame. So spiritual:


Then we went out to a bar for happy hour, followed by a trip to my favorite tower:



We called it a night after that. The next day we went to the Musee de Rodin and I thank a bit:


Then to Napoleon's tomb:


Then I had a bike ride home that I attempted to film. I guess my hand was blocking the microphone...probably for artistic effect. Suffice it to say the jokes I was telling were H-I-L-arious (Oh and in case you're wondering, yes the sun was shooting gamma death rays at me. Don't worry though, I'm okay):


Then I had a week of classes, but right now I'd like to take a moment to give a shout-out to the new freshman of The Heightsmen. Yeah! Here are the 4 social misfits that we have to now mold and shape into the respectable singers that we are:

Jonny "Johnny Tsunami" Higa
Bobby "Mr. Rogers" Williams
Sam "F Them" Efthim
Masrur "Masrur Khan" Khan

OK back to important things. This weekend we had a crepe and wine night, I think Cordell took the award with this one:


And skipping over some minor things and hours of reading today, I get to where I am now. And now I will keep typing because I know that when I finish this post, I will have to go back to reading the Epic of Gilgamesh, so I will take as long as I can. Has anyone read it? I'm not sure what's going to happen yet. So far Gilgamesh and Enkidu are kind of friends but Enkidu's also kind of his servant so I'm not sure what that means. I wonder if they'll fight at the end or what. It'll probably be epic. Okay I'm gonna go find out. Payce out, A-Town.

By the way, this is a direct quote from my other reading:

"When Anshar heard how the Tiamat-tempest was rising, he struck his groin, bit his lip, restless, gloomy and sick at heart, he covered his mouth to stifle his groans."

If anybody knows what that means, let me know. Thanks.
