More from Cannes. Zut alors.

Monday, Monday. Monday in Cannes. First on the agenda was a quick trip to the internet café and its horrific French keyboard. Who the hell thinks pressing shift ; for a full stop is a good idea? And whose idea was it to swap the Q and the A (among many others)? Stupid keyboard. Anyway, [...]

That wily wench Mindy of Beautiful Mess tagged me for this meme. I dunno, I sit here minding my own business and suddenly people are making me do stuff. A – Available or married? Available. B – Best Friend? Suzy. Oldest friend, Lauren. Can’t do without either of them. C – Cake or Pie? Cake [...]

I can’t think of a title for this post. Merde.

I’ve posted the aerial photos I took as we were flying over France to Cannes. Getting a window seat is a dandy thing. I just wish that people would have the courtesy to label things so that I know what they are when I’m flying thousands of feet above them. Otherwise, you’re stuck with the [...]

God: “You called?”

The day before I went to Cannes, I had my haircut. My usual David Arquette-lookalike wasn’t available, so I had a younger stylist.

The End. At last.

Ooh la la

This time next week I’ll be in Cannes. I’ll be out there for three nights and am going for various reasons, but I think that the most important is that the beaches will be empty. Suzy’s coming with me and bringing along her useful ability to speak French. This increases the likelihood of me coming [...]

Knock, knock

Who’s there? I don’t know. And that’s the whole point, you see. It’s Delurking Week in blogland and yea verily, so sayeth the lord, thou shalt be oh so kind and leave me some comment love! I’d very much like to know who’s out there reading all this stuff… So tell me: who are you [...]

i habs in kalender gschaut … heut geht der wind*

Back from the post office, looking somewhat windswept. I wanted to write something about resolutions at the beginning of the year – or, as I prefer to call them: intentions. However, I couldn’t really decide what I should intend … nope, I’m still not entirely sure. The clearest idea that came to me over Christmas [...]
