allo, oui? oui, c'est moi. dis-donc! ca fait un moment...!
translation: yo yeah hey it's me. goddamn! where the %*^£ have you been?!
mmhmmm i've reconnected with the world* a bit. have just had a fabulous long weekend in London. many thanks to Di and housemates for their wonderful Tooting hospitality. it's all about picnicking in as many parks as possible, snacking on McCoys (or Walker's) salt and vinegar chips, pasties from Greggs, sandwiches from that place in Soho, and sushi from Tesco's. the Lion King was also a wonderful thing.
*a more familiar world than i've been living in the past six months, ie. the anglophone world
and the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie never really appealed to me before but then Di suggested we watch it and am i ever glad we did cause i loved it to bits and i wonder why i hesitated before when eric suggested we see it and he still hasnt seen it so i hope we can still ask his friend with the hundreds of movies to burn it for us and then we can have our very own copy and watch it whenever we want!
have pretty much just been working through the winter months - which is good 'cause a) otherwise i'd be broke b) otherwise i'd have been so bloody bored i probably wouldn't still be here today.
now i'm on a holiday from my holiday. down to Hyeres near Toulon tomorrow evening for a weekend at Seb's parents' mobilhome. then eric and i are off camping somewhere in les Hautes Alpes. a few days in Lyon and a Broken Social Scene concert later (!!!!!!!), my parents will be coming!
speaking of music - Architecture in Helsinki actually played Annecy last week. Karine and I went and danced our socks off and discovered our new favourite band
