i was thrilled to find an interview with the savior of all my wednesdays, Heather Havrilesky aka Polly Esther, who wrote suck.com’s filler. of course since npr.org uses crappy shitty icky real player i’m still in buffering mode after apx 30 minutes. if someone manages to hear, let me know if there are any particularly gems of snarkiness that i missed. thanks emmanuelle.net for this link.
ok so instead of burying my head in a laptop i should be exploring paris, no? of course! but someone’s decided that at a certain age, barring any bizarre occurrences, you pretty much have to hand over the choicest part of your day to some miz company or other. well i’ve been doing all i can at lunch and at night.
i’ve been eating incredibly well. i have no idea if i’ll end up as big as a house after this lil jaunt. everyone here seems to be so thin. despite the fact the food here is so amazing. i wouldn’t mind eating all the time.
also it smells like smoke everywhere. in every restaurant, cafe, the supermarket, and even in my office. this is killing me. it feels like the first week of quitting again. i always want a cig and i am surrounded by them all the time. i didn’t realize how much their interdiction helped me in the states.
well i have to go at the moment as we’re having our friday fete (party-thing). i bet the food’ll be delish!
