My heart still flutters when I hear pretty much any part of Yann Tiersen's lilty, lovely soundtrack for Amélie from a few years back, and I always tell myself I'll catch up with his other work. Well, it's time. Just before the French musician released his new album Infinity , he performed a "secret" concert on the shores of Brittany, and it's an hour of windy, weathered beauty.
A Chinese man and his four-year-old son are apparently stuck in South Korea because his son used his old man's passport as a drawing book. Seriously. While on vacation, the kid started doodling over his Dad's passport, decorating it with human-ish and animal-ish figures, a lot of scribbles and some added flair. Cute!
