surveys...

take it from me, don't do myspace surverys drunk, you end up looking like a prick (by "you" i mean me)...for some reason when i drink whiskey the 15 yr old in me likes to come out and run his mouth (by "his" i mean mine)...

it's really early but i'm up...don't want to have coffee yet, still a few hours until GMA...what's one to do at this hour? maybe i'll go watch The Return Of The King (extended version)...

in the mail yesterday

Bay Poetics- ed. Stephanie Young (Faux Press)...it's as pretty as it looks on your computer screens...
Magazine Cypress #4- ed. Dana Ward (more on the mag later....thanks for sending along Dana)

apparently, i have a british accent after shots of whiskey. can you tell?

Jessica Smith said...

françois, i never thought about you having a French accent (because when i read online everyone sort of has my voice). do you have one?

a Frenchman with a British accent. Is that why you had to flee, I mean leave?

John Sakkis said...

i've often (stupidly) wondered the same thing...no wonder the gals jock you...i'm talking to francois...

call me shallow but i REALLY want to hang out with a chinese-frenchman with a french accent (and british when whiskeyed out)...i think you might attract all the fine women within a 6 block radius...yes yes, call me shallow...i know if i was an american girl i'd be on the jock...

John Sakkis said...

by the way...francois, send my your texas addy...merkoneus@yahoo.com

Jessica Smith said...

that's true... the only thing American girls like better than a British accent is a French accent. We're trained like Pavlov's dogs to start drooling the moment we hear that telltale cadence.

François Luong said...

actually, when sober, my accent fluctuates between french and german (being from a bi/trilingual region of france). sometimes it accidentally turns british, even though i had no drinks so far.

sadly, it is true that most girls i've dated in the states were interested in the accent.

John Sakkis said...

that's not sad! play it up!

Jessica Smith said...

yeah... cute, foreign poet with a french+ accent?

François Luong said...

okayokayokay, i'll admit it, i use variants of "i'm french and i'm a poet" as a pick-up line. then, i'll buy the girl a drink. or she'll buy me one.
