Happy 183rd Birthday, Jules Verne!

Maybe I should celebrate tonight by watching one of the movies inspired by his work.

Good old Mr. V :)

Oui, oui!

Nah. Spend the night reading one of his stories!

Unlike me, you wouldn't even have to read it in translation.

True. On the other hand, reading even one of his shorter novels would take more than one evening. Or did he write short stories too?

Look at the Google icon today.

C'est une excellente idée! (En français, en l'honneur de M. Verne...)

I wound up watching "Journey to the Center of the Earth". The GOOD version, that is. I should have seen if my DVD of it gave me the option of French dubbing. Then again, if it had, I wouldn't have been able to listen to Pat Boone's singing in his original voice. That should have been an inentive to switch to French, I know, but I'd then have missed on James Mason's wonderful voice.

Drat. They took it away. What would it have done?
