vingt quatre heures.

Vignt Quatre Heures, for those of you who dont know, is the French name for the television show we know simply as :24:
Just as I was about to hit the sack (dont know what the french equiavlent of that colloquialism would be), I heard Rachel, my host mother, calling my name. I grabbed my empty mug of tisanne (herbal tea, keeping me warm in a 20 degree house), and headed downstairs to put it away. On my way past the living room, I saw another man sitting and chatting with my host parents. I wondered...could this be the man they were tellig me about? I stopped by the room and opened the door.
Indeed, I was introduced to none other than their neighbor ( my neighbor for the next two weeks), Jacques Bauer ( the French equvilent of Jack Bauer...but not really). This Jacques Bauer runs every Sunday with Daniel (my host father), and has a son, Julien, who is a 21 year-old classical musician (piano, violin,organ, etc) and who is also studying to be a male nurse. Apparently, as Rachel tells it, he is also very cute.
Yes, tonight, I met Jaques Bauer and talked with him and Rachel about the Buffalo extinction in America, and I tried to assure them that the buffalo have not gone completely extinct. You can bet that I am going to milk this story for all its worth. Also, I feel like I am jokingly being set up with his son, but hey, I could do a whole lot worse.

Also, I found out that Rachel has a special place in her heart for (guess which movie)
1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Sister Act 2
3. Anything Morgan Freedman
4. Grease
