A Momentous Day

It's a momentous day for me BECAUSE I walked out of the house without earrings. Sans boucle dore which is french for earring. And why would anybody give a damn about that you say? Beats me but ever since I had my ears pierced at age 18 I have rarely, if ever, gone without earrings. Because thats the point of having your ears pierced. It means you can always wear them and be perfectly groomed and exhibit perfect manners by wearing your earrings. Of course I have also rarely experienced a 60 degree day on the first of February so there are firsts all around us.

And now I am cooking with gas. No, not like I forgot my earrings...I don't mean that literally but it's just that somehow I found my work mojo and things are moving along. I have a job interview tomorrow which is good, an appointment to talk about some regular consulting work and some conversations a new project that I am suddenly energized about.

And last night I went to my 2nd french lesson at the Idlewild Book Store on 19th street where I am studying Bain Dessines or comic books. Te teacher is young, amusing and fabulous and the class is reading Tintin en Tibet. Don't you just love all the crazy sub cultures that exist in New York. My first homework was page 1 through 30 of Tintin which is pretty copy dense which I discovered only when I sat down on Monday night to do the reading for the next day. Kate was thrilled at this major demonstration of my procrastination and told me over and over again how bad I was. I'm sure that she was disappointed when I managed with the help of a dictionary to get through it. The idioms are many and I was curled up on the bed with a dictionary and 8x10 vocabulary cards. Zut
