Good morning good morning

It's Saturday, which means it's time to look at apartments!

Everything's in the fourth today.

Got some listings from the apartment guy that I need to vote on as well.

Last night went out with some linguists from the conference, had a really nice time. Drank too much beer, not in the too much at once sense but in the this is a marathon not a sprint sense.

I did manage to do the good thing where everyone wants to know where to go for dinner, and you organize it and take them there and people are grateful, except for a minor glitch of not knowing where the Vietnamese place was, and walking them around the block in the rain, but then we found it. Of course it wasn't open yet, this being France, but there was a convenient American bar next door. And all was well.

After dinner a contingent went back to various hotels to drop stuff off, preparatory to going out again, to another bar and a club. Was fun even though it's not usually my bag.

Oh, and I got to have a phone conversation with a stranger in my (only) three languages, which actually was pretty hilarious. We were trying to arrange a meeting so I could give him an adapter/transformer that his linguist friend had borrowed, and I swear I had next to no control over which language I pulled out of my brain, but fortunately it was all good.
