I Fly A Star Ship: America!!
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011/09/america.html
Monday, September 12, 2011. You got yourself drunk. You may have been facilitated, but you did it to yourself. How did YOU feel? Because it often seems that American society is based on the YOU. How did the tragedy make YOU personally feel? Not what consequences does it have for our society or our economy or our community make-up, but how have YOU, important YOU, digested this event, and are you feeling bad enough about it? It's true that when 9/11 occured, it was one of those jaw-dropping moments, where...

I Fly A Star Ship: The tarte flambée club and the hypochondriac's guide to self-healing
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011/09/tarte-flambee-club-and-hypochondriacs.html
Friday, September 16, 2011. The tarte flambée club and the hypochondriac's guide to self-healing. Buying a poodle and getting it's hair chemically straightened once a week at the local pooch parlour? Making appointments to see my nutriotionist because of a potential wheat imbalance? Checking myself into spas to 'deal with my stress' (which is apparantly, again, reimbursed by the sate, if you have been sent to said spa by your GP). No! And so the evening began. A lack of social charisma? Slalomed my way h...

I Fly A Star Ship: In which I become the proud owner of a new studio (and a moth phobia)
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011/09/in-which-i-become-proud-owner-of-new.html
Thursday, September 1, 2011. In which I become the proud owner of a new studio (and a moth phobia). Well guys, here I am - yours truly is now an established member of the Strasbourg community. The underground, foreign, totally lost and ' wtf' ing their way around town community. Let me take you back, through the mists of time, to 3 days ago. Vatti arrived in jolly old Val, and it just so happened that on that very day, the town was actually lively. Terrifying, isn't he? The beauty and pleasantness of the...

I Fly A Star Ship: August 2011
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. If you're an anglophone who wants to live the dream of being in France for a year or two, and if you want to earn a bit more money than you would working as a lowly English assistant, but with the same general lack of actual work, why not become a lectrice? To a class of gaping 22 year-olds, so resorted to simply speaking their own language. The Pros of working as a lectrice:. Salary around 1200 euros a month. Around 10 hours work a week. The Cons of working as a lectrice:. And t...

I Fly A Star Ship: July 2011
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. OK, not too sure what the deal is here, but I've been checking out a few random blogs using the "Next Blog" function, and have been coming across a disproportionately high amount of Jesus Creepers. Now, you want to be a Catholic - go ahead and be a Catholic. But blogger.com? What is going on? I refuse to believe this is pure coincidence. It allows me some freedom psychologically, and allows me to make a permanent statement of the rejection of 50% of my blood 'family'. All I n...

I Fly A Star Ship: La rentrée
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011/09/la-rentree.html
Wednesday, September 21, 2011. They put on some music, but I drew the line at dancing along to it. I'm fine thrashing away to typical white music, but there is no way in hell I'm going to get up there, swinging my distended skinny limbs around the place, when I'm surrounded by buxom, glossy-skinned African beauties with BOOTYS. As it happened, I was the only white girl there, which I thought was interesting: why? A guy came up to me, and was really concerned about something on my shoulder. You what, love?

I Fly A Star Ship: In which I meet Yannick
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011/09/in-which-i-meet-yannick-and-bitch-about.html
Wednesday, September 7, 2011. In which I meet Yannick. First exciting detail to report - I finally met the infamous Yannick. And guess what guys? This morning, I begrudgingly set the auld alarm for 7.30am, determined to beat the crowds and to head down to the CROUS for when their doors opened. I was ushered into a tiny backroom, and told Yannick would come and find me. Here are a few things that made this experience so much more enjoyable than your normal average French admin experience:. He appeared sud...

I Fly A Star Ship: 100 % knackered
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011/09/100-knackered.html
Sunday, September 4, 2011. The biggest piece of information I have to impart is - I got a bike, and am in love with it! He hates bikes with a passion, because they go too fast and are wobbly. He is anti-social, apparantly. He plays electric guitar. What can I do, Ali? Yes, he seems to think my name is Ali, so this evening I wrote it down on a post-it for him, despite his protests of "but I know your name! Soooo: tomorrow I'll be meeting someone new! The Orangerie park right next to chez moi! I see what y...

I Fly A Star Ship: Lavender, fringes, cigarettes, where the hell am I going to be living next week?
http://i-flyastarship.blogspot.com/2011/08/lavender-fringes-cigarettes-where-hell.html
Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Lavender, fringes, cigarettes, where the hell am I going to be living next week? Do you use conditioner? Do you know what that is? Surprisingly easy to do, cutting your own fringe, once you get past the idea that with just one small movement, you could gouge your own eye out. It's like when you're looking over a bridge, and think to yourself: "What if my brain suddenly rebels, and I throw myself off, without wanting to? Anyway, here's a picture of how I did:. Next step, be as ...
