It's Bastille Day again, folks! And while many of us choose to hate on the French, I rather like the country and the language and the artistic beauty their people have contributed to our society (not to mention they DID help us out during OUR revolution.) From wonderful movies like Delicatessen to the music of Air and Yann Tiersen to the artwork of Edgar Degas and those delicious crepes and pastries, the French have been long-time masters at the epitome of the cultural world. In celebration of the French people's accomplishments, i'll spend my day indulging in some french music, perhaps cooking a nice french-inspired dinner, watching a french film or two, and maybe even imbibing in a little french wine. But for now, a salute to all that the French have done!
