My brother is sitting a few feet away from me, munching on raisin bread and playing Nintendogs. Not nearly as far away, lifeless, lies my duster. As usual, the duster seems more at home than my own flesh and blood.

Maybe because the duster doesn't scream "Motherf*cker!" every few seconds in a manner that makes me want to punch him right out of the window of our suite. No, that would be even more uncouth than his heinous misuse of Anglais. I don't think such unladylike violence is encouraged in Paris, especially not so close to Champ dé Élyseés.

Galliano might sue.

As far as unproductive holidays go, my current venture should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. I have done nothing these past 4 days but :

a) eat tasteless veal escalope
b) photograph Parisian landmarks
c) sleep at ungodly hours
d) buy incredibly useless/expensive trinkets
e) tolerate Eminem's misogynistic prose
f) reread LKH's latest catastrophe, 'Lick of Frost'
g) procrastinate, procrastinate, procrastinate

The whole point of this European venture was to do some much-needed research for my novel. Where, pray tell, can you spy mere mention of 'research' in the above itinerary?

... my penchant for costly things and infinite laziness is positively disgusting.

"We toasted one another with joie. It is a rare liquer distilled from flowers that blossom in the snowdrifts of the Camaeline Mountains and its taste is indescribable, at once cool on the palate and burning in the palate."

"Both wine and joie were flowing freely, and there was so much to see. Everywhere one turned, there was an array of fantastical figures: gods and goddesses, sprites, nymphs and demons, creatures out of story and legend, animals of all ilk. The masks lent a sense of abandon to the proceedings. One knew who one's companions were; and yet they were strange and unfamiliar, no longer themselves. It made one sense anything was possible."

Where's a masquerade ball when you need one, huh? Where's the goddamn alcohol?

Tonight, after over an hour and half of queuing behind Frenchmen/women with not an iota of propriety, I got to see My Chemical Romance in concert.

They were incredible. Absolutely smashing. Best thing since ice-cream. The sh*t.

I'm very happy right now.

Angst cereal. About as nutritious as pig slop, twice as foul, and full of undiluted self-loathing.

Why, then, do teenagers shovel it down their throats in great mouthfuls that seem to hinder the mortal reflex that is breathing and expect all the absolute garbage to somehow morph into something essential for the normality of their youthful cognition?

I don't know. I most certainly don't care (to some extent, naturally).
