My buddy Louis is coming to visit this weekend. I met Louis when I was living in France, back then he was just teaching english in the local fac des lettres (university of humanities, one might say, literally "school of letters") and since that broke arse year in France, I've come to London, and am on the verge of massive success as a chef. He's...

I had a pretty epic weekend, so epic, in fact that I'm just writing about it now. So two of my closest friends here in London, a couple are moving to Sydney in the land of Oz and Leo left yesterday. This saturday we had a big leaving do for him, which started normally enough, dinner, drinks etc. But then it turned into a house...

I've reproduced since we last spoke, you insolent fuck!

Glad to see all is well.


Just out here, working my ass off, prospecting, cleaning the Gulf, saving the world, and trying to put a few deals together. No shit.

Daughter's name is Jackie, btw.


Will come to visit you in Euroland soon, however. The Arrival-Departure store, has taken second on the priority list to ARC, Amsterdam Recording Co.: where the office was in that same building we were in on KNSM island. All vintage, Solid-State recording equipment, etc. Quite possibly the best recording studio in Europe, if not the world.

As for me, like I said: prospecting, editing us legislation, and kicking against the pricks, as I've always done :

our write up in the NY Times the other day... Ed is our CEO. ~

Things have become more subdue, subtle. The feelings are more of a dull ache, I only feel them at home, but in the interest of saving money, I spend too much time at home. Plus, going out and getting drunk can only fix some much. In my younger days I would be off skirt chasing now, but these days I just can't be bothered. Things...

Suffering tonight. The moment of reality has finally set in, and it's not pretty.

No change wanted, but with great love comes great feeling.


I feel like this.

That's funny. The first time I saw him, waay the fuck back in '92, he'd obviously been wearing the same shirt for a few weeks and didn't open his eyes the whole time.

Top two all-time favorite shows.

I haven't heard it yet. Waiting for my CD to arrive.

Cheers, man. It's all good. The lady and I...there's been a few fights. You know how it can be sometimes. Its part of the deal. Sucks, but...

I saw this over the weekend. I dug.



Usually musicals make me a bit edgy.
gigondas:
I agree. Doesn't mean its not something that has to be struggled with sometimes. Know what I mean?

Excel spreadsheets will be the bane of my existence for the rest of my professional life.

Here's the story: A week ago saturday the head chef pulls me aside after work and tells me that he and the sous chef are both leaving after christmas. The resulting vaccum in the management puts me in a key position. Another chef, who's been there for 3 years...

Sounds like you have your head squarely on your shoulders in regards to your new position. Congrats, man.

Happy New Year to you and yours. 2010...wow, I am beyond excited. I've been working on a few ideas for self-employment (centered around wine) and the lady is taking some adult ed classes to start a new career. There's also a move (Austin) and a wedding planned.

This is our year. This is our decade.

Cheers.

Where to begin. Time for a quick breath before the wave carries me to the new year in the blink of an eye. Things are stable, good, time is flying like it hasn't in ages. Work is going really well, I feel I'm cooking at a level far above any other time in the past. Time to start pushing, I want to open a restaurant,...

Again....

Over a month with no update. No real reason, just been busy. Spring has sprung and I've taken to spending my days off outside in the sun. Work is still great, it's so much better to have a job you enjoy. Strangely enough, I've had a weird feeling recently. I feel like I might end up staying here for a long time, a long...

Well shit.

I suppose it's about time for an update. How many weeks has it been? three? Christ. Feels like a lifetime. London is a human pressure cooker. I arrived and dived into all of my old shit; drinking (not such a bad thing) and skirt chasing (a very bad thing). All this was going alright, albiet I've lost some of my charms, dishonesty makes...

I do accept hugs. Especially from fellows who take such good pictures.

How do I remind you of you? Your life seems very together where as mine is in a suitcase and boxes.

It's nice to hear that you're all happy and doing well!

Are you a chef? I have a lot of love for all restaurant workers (I'm a former waitress). ♥

Was that you in that picture? B/c I liked it.

Not even so much catharsis as a writing exercise. I think it worked out well.

Ah! I'm glad you like it, my best so far... where have you been?
