...and the rest of what's left

enough of allende for the meantime

i concede to andy's coverage of brokeback mountain for whetting my appetite to this movie. last week at the gay film festival i mentioned in my previous post, i grabbed a book copy of the short story by pulitzer-winner annie proulx.

tough luck though: it's a translated version from the original english to french, which means now i will have to translate it back to english again. anyhow, i have read the original version and it's a good incentive to attend my french class. what can be more fun to learn the language but to read a story about american cowboys galloping on their saddles!

ah bon?

still, nothing beats a good english book. enough of allende for the meantime, her south american revolutions need some rest. i tried, but bill bryson did not work for me. the dalai lama is way done a month ago and i am supposed to be 'happier' by this time.

blah. blah.

so now that you know i'm looking for a new book to read, if you can't recommend a good one

...can you just please get me a new anne lamott ?

...or maybe a john irving?

yes, i mean YOU. the guy in blue.





state of mind: i have to sleep
listening to: bach

this is marc's version of the truth, sometime at 1:21 AM if you can't live with it, he can.
