Variations on the same theme

Warning, this is gonna be one gui of an entry. Break was great! And it deserves me to rant about it all.

( Of the birth of a new clan. )

( Read all about Dublin with the Jims! )

( Quotes from the weekend. )

Unrelated, but we have a date for the release of Les Miroirs Obscurs, Martin Winckler's next book on series, to whom so many people have collaborated, least of all Joey and I: the 17th of March, ie St Pat! I can't wait to have it! I haven't read most of the articles yet, but it does live up to my expectations big time! I strongly recommend this book.

( What about Canal Street on Tuesday night? )

( American Outlaws, or Colin Farrell vs. Heath Ledger, followed by a rant against mediocrity as our average expectation and about writing in general. )

( Thelma and Louise, Thicker Than Blood and Sweet Sixteen )

I was so excited last night. Coming back to work is not of the good, but Jo’s coming tomorrow... You know how before a big day, your mind won’t stop working and you can’t get to sleep, ever? I didn’t manage to sleep until fivish, which means two hours of sleep for this gal. I don’t know how I can be up and running (or, well, working). And it’s pretty stupid ‘cause the big day isn’t until tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be so sleep-needy that I’ll get to sleep without trouble tonight. And latest breakthrough, Madeleine is gonna be back for a few days, so she can actually meet Jo. Goodness abounds.

Anyway. I’m seeing Joey tomorrow! Wheee!
