syinlyon: December 2005
http://syinlyon.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2005. Night out with the boys. I wish everyone had a friend like richard. In driffield, yorkshire, everyone. And his name is richard. And so a night out with. Richard is quite a treat. Especially when accompanied by his intimates: john and p.j. Single men act married and married men act single. British men exchange jokes, stories, reminiscences, innuendo and opinions. Jokes are often about sex. But sometimes about foreigners. And are usually funny. British people must be funny. A lin...

syinlyon: January 2006

Saturday, January 28, 2006. We put up some shelves. We attached them to a plaster wall. We used "witches' hats", they're plugs which flair out as you screw in the counterpart screw. One shelf fell down during the party. I bought some more witches hats. Half of them didn't work. It took me a long time to put the shelves back up. The witches hats i bought were cheap and it cost me (at least) an hour's extra effort because of the lack of quality of the plugs. Not to mention the stress and frustration. Accor...

syinlyon: April 2006

Thursday, April 27, 2006. Ok, i've been attempting an a to z. And i've managed to miss out a letter. Posted by wallscreen @ 1:12 am. Wednesday, April 26, 2006. A wonderful word to sum up the french nation, french people, products, ideas and everyday communication. it doesn't matter what they do, they simply do it better. it's an obsession. it's marvellously deliciously indescribably (for an outsider) good. it's france, and it's what makes it the number one destination in the world. The coffee is bitter.

Wednesday, November 30, 2005. And do you like cricket? A silver lining: nice surprise in the hunt for a flatmate. Occasionally i lose faith a little in the glorious way destiny toys with my patience. After nine girls coming to see us this month i think "am i too picky, too demanding; is there no blue in my Stilton? C'est un fromage anglais, les gars. et si, il est bleu. quand même.). Et puis de nulle part des messages craquantes de la part d'un éspece d'expert dans l'art de me plaire. Pas jojo mes amis.

syinlyon: February 2006
http://syinlyon.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2006. Since monday i've been observing myself. It's a difficult exercise, as i have a tendency to let the mind drift onto other matters. So i did less. When i would've watched a film, i went for a walk. When i could've read a book, i sat in a chair. When i started thinking about work, i let myself; as one allows someone to finish making her point before speaking oneself. In those few seconds i sensed something. Or I nearly dissolved. Where there was an Ego Sum, an ego appeared.

Thursday, June 15, 2006. Posted by wallscreen @ 1:10 pm. Wednesday, June 14, 2006. One of my favourite things about the french remains their capacity, willingness and even desire. Posted by wallscreen @ 4:43 pm. 24 little hours it took. Posted by wallscreen @ 4:31 pm. Tuesday, June 13, 2006. You know how sometimes you're reading your horoscope and it promises things like "a turbulent love affair" or "a new professional opportunity" and you sigh and you say to yourself "fat chance! Well, a bit anyway.

syinlyon: May 2006

Wednesday, May 24, 2006. I suppose the film was supposed to cross genres, to break ground, to poke a finger in the eyes of some sacred cows. It just looks messy. The crowning moment was the return of the modern sountrack (slipped in front of us at the outset, then withdrawn, bizarrely) and the sequence where our eponymous hero lets her hair down (and has it stacked up in a beehive) and has a bit of a girlie session with her mates. I found the few ounces of empathy drain out through the champagne fountain.
