Paper tigers, lovemakers, were-rabbits

Okay, I have spent the last little while dealing with all the paper that tends to accumulate, and making copies of various documents dealing with my living in France and various requests and so forth. And I have done well. And I am going to go home now. And tomorrow I'll be able to actually get some writing done. Most of today was administrative and contacting people.

I've had quite an interesting couple of days outside of work, though. Two nights ago I had dinner with Nn at l'Amuse-Gueule, got to talk semantics and other things; last night went to see a band, the Lovemakers, comped in for free thanks to D and M's friend Aa, who works for their label and I guess is their rep in some sense. They are fun in concert! I kept thinking of the people who used to go on about Elvis and rock music being entirely debauched, and well, when you watch the Lovemakers in concert, you have to agree with them. But it was very entertaining debauchery and they're solid musicians. :)

After that I went to see Wallace and Gromit's were-rabbit movie, because I realized that that was the last day it was playing in Paris! I don't think movies stay up very long here. Anyway, I high-tailed it to Bastille (cotton-tailed it?) for the 22:30 showing, and it was just wonderful. Grabbed a chicken and cheese quesadilla, I mean crepe, on the way back around Place de la Bastille since I hadn't managed to fit dinner in. I am a big fan of late-night crepitude.

Hmm, guess I'll go home. Think I won't take the computer home tonight.
