on fridays...marketing, cleaning, writing, and setting up a blog...

there are lovely yellow roses on my desk (courtesy of heather, thank you!), bremner is singing very dark jacques brel songs downstairs--kind of goes with the flemish clouds outside the window. maybe the sky will clear for julien joseph ross' baptism tomorrow at the most elegant church in the city, saint-germain-des-pres (do they play organ music at a baptism?) later on saturday, i'm going to an oberkampf wine loft called o chateau, for a wine-tasting birthday party... but first i'm giving a private walking tour through the lovely baroque mansions of the marais, to work up a decent thirst.

today the dictionary says: "acte: nm (action)...moins de paroles, des actes!" so enough words--for now, i'll go spend an hour in the cafe around the corner.
