All,
Please watch the video and make comments!!! I really like it and Jane did a great job editing it together, she’s totally the bomb. I have another week’s worth ready to go now but I will have send it, have it edited, etc. Should be about a week before it appears.
The reason the tweets have gone from frequent to seldom/never is that the iphone is broken. It has a dead spot on the touch screen which occurred after a full day under my rain jacket being bathed in my sweat. The dead spot is in the exact place where you slide your finger across to unlock the phone, though sometimes it works if I hit a strip just above it. However this is also the spot that contains the zxcvbnm keys, and backspace. It makes typing on the phone pretty much impossible without those keys. So I’m a bit screwed :-(. I’ve tried drying it out, but this didn’t work and I’m going to try cleaning it with alcohol. If any dilligent person wants to research on the internet ways to fix this and then send me a solution I’d greatly appreciate it but I don’t really have the time or cash to do it.
To tie up some loose ends, I’m in Nancy, FR, in the Lorraine. Every few days I eat out and get to experience whatever region I’m in. Today, inspired by the Anthony Bourdin book “Kitchen Confidential” (highly recommended if you like food/Tony), I ate “Traunche de tete de veau avec some-sorta-brown-saus”. Translated: Piece of head of veal with some-sorta-brown-sauce. I strongly recommend that if you are ever in France and confronted with choices like these, EAT THEM. Seriously. Sweetbreads, belly of pork, head of veal, they are actually amazing. And the food comes perfectly prepared because they know you have BALLS.
My knee is sort of a daily problem. It gets worse with the mileage, better on days off, and I’m always aware of its “existence”. It’s basically going to cause me to take the train to catch up and meet Werner in time, and there have been a few difficult days as I have come to terms with that. It still feels like cheating.
Other than that I’m still alive and kicking. I will try to get to a computer more often but it’s a tradeoff between doing that and being in the world, I assume you all understand my preference given my usual habits.
