Midnight in Paris

Surfing through the internet in my usual procrastinating fashion, I came across the trailer for Woody Allen's new romantic-comedy. Titled  Midnight in Paris, it looks really funny and it features the comical  Owen Wilson. Overall, the trailer reminded me of the amazing time I had in Paris and the great city that it really is. Movie poster and trailer below.

City Shots

I have had a hectic and stressful past few days. To give you the short list I am becoming worried about my two final papers - mainly because they are worth a majority of my grade, but also because I just don't know how I am doing in the classes - and my bike broke yesterday which means I have to shell out some more money to buy a new one. This latter experience has made me want to do a specific blog entry about where to buy a bike here, because if you don't know it is very easy to get ripped off. It is my hope that blogging a little will calm me down.

Enough with the ranting. Here are some photos I've never posted but whose aesthetic I kind of like.

The Guide: Basilica of St. Servatius

On my quest to explore more places in Maastricht I came across the Basilica of St. Servatius. It is located right near the Vrijthof, but can be somewhat hidden and therefore overlooked. While in Rome I stumbled into a bunch of beautiful churches and so I thought it would be worthwhile to do the same here.

The basilica is quite gorgeous inside, and pretty interesting from the outside. There were wonderful stain-glass windows, amazing tiling and the small museum inside had some cool artifacts. If you want to more historical information about the basilica you can go to the Wikipedia page here.

Panyee FC

Found this video on Highsnobiety.com, and thought this video was pretty inspirational/worth sharing.

"This film is based on a true story. In 1986 a football team that lived on a small island in the south of Thailand, “Koh Panyee”, wanted the opportunity to play football yet had no soil as they lived on a floating village. Not letting anything stop them they began to practice on the only thing they could and the community began to rally around them."
