I've decided to make a post to keep track of all of Micha's performances that I've seen (because that's a perfectly sane thing to do). I've put all of the ones I've seen in bold, and may even one day do some sort of annotated ranking (spoiler: he's always great, but the quality of the source text can be hit and miss...)

I've not included theatre performances, even though those are arguably his finest moments, because, alas, I don't live in France and have only seen those that have been recorded and shown on TV.

#the great micha watchfest

I can't decide whether or not to watch Furcy né libre tonight and therefore see Micha be a massive racist.

But in better news, I found a place to live in Oxford for next year!

#it's a shared house #but the vibes seem really cool #and it's all adults #and in a beautiful house by the river...

I bought my tickets to Toronto for the end of August...

#i cannot wait #i wish it were tomorrow #and i so so SO hope this feeling keeps up

I miss The Professor and I fear I'm in deep :(

#it makes zero sense to go to toronto for a week in august #but i feel like i can't wait #and i waited for the frenchman...

i need to read everything ever before the end of the summer

#my life #still working on the 17th century #and scudéry

Things with the Professor* are going so well! The long distance sucks, but I think we're both committed to doing the work to keep it up until we can see one another in person again and really know what we want. He's so sweet, kind and considerate and he's a 17C French literature specialist so we can make French lit jokes with one another!

Still talking to the Frenchman as we have a lot of history now, but he knows about the situation and is very supportive and happy for me...

*the potential future husband I met at the conference last week

#micha lescot #that cheeky face

Just when everything gets so lovely, I've either broken or sprained my foot. Le sigh.

So I think I may have just met my future partner/husband at a conference?

#not even joking

I am working on the summer reading list for my students and I am overwhelmed by the fact that I have complete and utter free rein for one of the modules I am teaching (basically intro to early modern French literature).

I've got the 16th c covered, but do I do a seminar option on obscenity and pornography and have them read Sade and Thérèse philosophe?

[also for all my 18th century people - do you have literary suggestions a bit outside of the canon that you think are super, super interesting and important for the time period? @aedislumen @mathildeaquisexta
