Oh, I just dropped into the Louvre, you know...

hehe - cause i did this morning.

morning started too early considering lateness of train last night, with roofers hammering for 15 minutes at 8:30, and 15 minutes only.... talked to tony about weekends for a bit, walked to the louvre. they didn't the book i was looking for anymore (they had it in 3 weeks ago, but i was hoping to find it cheaper, no go, and now it's gone meh) but i did find a little rack of 3 euro classics in english - amazingly cheap, english books are crazy-expensive here. so i'm now reading james joyce's 'portrait of an artist as a young man,' seems good so far, i wish i could stretch out the time it takes to read things voluntarily, i'll be done with this long before i'm willing to pay the price for another book in english. meh. hmm studio, adding to pile'o'links and research, blog posting, figured out the google maps thing.... going home for pasta now, probably to a cafe to work on studio seriously without the distration of the internet.

on google maps (with satellite turned on) and on google earth, home is at "48.873, 2.3425" check it out... the slightly diagonal street to the north is rue lafayette, where studio is, the quite diagonal to the northeast is the marche cadet with all the markets, to the south is the Grands Boulevards.... zoom out and you start seeing the palais royale and louvre and all the fun of paris... :)
