Hmmm my blogging hiatus has reached a point where I’m either going to start again or completely give it up. I’ve got about 15 half started posts which are even more all over the place than usual, and I seem to have generally lost my groove. I think it may have a lot to do with the fact that I have no time to do anything at the moment because I’ve scheduled so many extra curricular activities for myself, and by the time I get home I’m so exhausted I can barely muster enough strength to string a sentence together in basic English, let alone moderately comprehensible prose.
However the end is in sight, and the holidays are on the distant horizon. Turkey, pâté and christmas-tree shaped mousse; such is Christmas in France. Despite all predictions based on the horror of Japan, I’ve lasted three months here and I’m pretty sure I can make it through. The key is lots of different distractions, of which (apparently) I haven’t had time to blog about.
1) I joined the English theatre society for which I have to audition on Thursday (strangers in the night)
2) Signed up for club arsehole (direct translation from club cul.) in order to get a bit more culture.
3) Joined the ENST forum and set about the impossible task of trying to convince Berkshire IT companies to pay for a place
4) Went to a gala event at Opera Garnier to see Idomeneo, where we were fed champagne and foie gras at the interval. I shamelessly stuffed myself despite my wailing inner vegetarian.
5) and I finally infiltrated the oligarchy! In the form of a blogging soirée in the 19th. I shall publish a flash animation of the secret handshake in a few weeks, although apparently Petite has accepted my homosexuality in lieu of a full sex change.
6) Oh yeah, and yesterday I watched 9 hours of America’s Next Top Model. That’s right… all of cycle 7. Michelle and/or Melrose was/were robbed by that little bitch.

Melrose was a total retard not to mention psychopath! As was CariDee… in fact, this year was horrific, and only topped by Tyra’s fat armpits. Stinko… I couldn’t bear to watch more than 3 hours.

No way! Melrose was the most intelligent out of all of them, she played Tyra and all the judges sooo well. That’s why the girls hated her so much because she knew the game.
Have to say my favourite was the lesbo. Although she was the only one who really couldn’t be arsed as she was doing it for her homophobic twin sister. Good times…

Wait…I didn’t give you a sex change on Saturday night?
To whom did I give a sex change?!

hey hey… Happy New Year.
Hope you’re still alive in some corner, plotting the overthrow of the female blogging oligarchy in Paris. Just wanted to tell you that my band is playing a show this Saturday at Point FMR, Quai de Valmy. It’s the hot party for the start of men’s fashion week. You should go. 22H….
