=========================================

September 19th, 2.55: is home too late for a very early wake up call (happens even to her) and too early for Castel standards. Tough!

=========================================

September 14th, 22.08: loves sleeping beauty. The music, the sets, the costumes. It’s so romantic! …Or maybe she only likes it because she sleeps for a 100 years and doesn’t age

September 14th, 20.46: is so tired but cannot sleep. Standing on the edge of something much too deep. Funny how she feels so much but cannot say a word…

September 14th, 13.15: is up and about to go feel the sun on her face. Philosophes or not Philosophes, that is the question!

September 14th, 5.32: is hopelessly awake past 5am. She could probably make a great film of her dreams but she chooses sleep over fame!

August 30th, 11.40: thinks you may wake up at 6am, but then you fall back asleep and wake up at midday… Now however got to get moving. Was it the left leg first or the right?

August 30th, 6.30: thinks waking up at 6am is considered a sin in some parts of the world. If only it wasn’t for the blond angered b*** invading her sleep!

August 24th, 14.15: is wondering what we have all done wrong to have such a sad depressing weather. Haven’t we all been good? Don’t we deserve some sun and affection?

August 24th, 2.27: is watching Secret Story in bed and laughing out loud at John-David’s hair issues… Does it get more pathetic than that? John-David and herself!

=========================================

August 21st, 20.54: is off to drink some mint tea… If you come she’ll put some vodka in it just for you… or champagne. Whichever works for you really!

August 21st, 19.13: just remembered a dream where she had a huge star tattooed all over her back. Does that mean she should wish upon a star or get a back massage?

August 21st, 14.29: should maybe watch her thoughts for they become words. Watch her words for they become actions…

August 21st, 11.38: managed to find her sleep in Bolivia and reunite with it in bed here in Paris. So proud!

August 18th, 19.58: thinks meeting people you’ve virtually known for long, for the 1st time, is like having your first ice cream after a long cold winter… Or something like that anyway.

August 17th, 13.07: is not quite sure if it’s time to leave bed or press snooze just a few more minutes. Sleep deprivation and intense jazz groupy’ing do that to you.

August 17th, 4.35: had a great 2nd time around at the Sunside with the boys! The trouble with (the) Yaron, Matt & Gerald (trio) is that there is not enough of it!

=========================================

August 16th, 12.08: is off to the sun and the sunside!

August 16th, 8.56: went to bed at 3, work up at 8… What’s going on? She’s all upside down like a jazz tune. She’s a groupie now. Needs force and energy!

=========================================

August 15th, 13.06: is going to the Etienne Marcel with her t-top and good reads! Nothing like a good chicken Caesar and sun to wash the bad mood away!

August 15th, 3.39: is fed up being the good friend who is left behind in favour of the “potential maybe” who is getting a lift home while she looks for a cab alone past 3am! Merde!

August 14th, 11.59: is getting her own delivery of sleep from over seas in just over a week!! Deliverance!

August 14th, 1.30: can’t decide if to count an animal farm to help her sleep or the days left in the Secret Story house. Which got more potential?

August 14th, 0.25: thinks when women are depressed they go eat or shop. Men invade another country. It’s a whole different way of thinking!

=========================================

August 13th, 19.08: thinks her prince charm lost her address or broke a leg on his velib! Those damn velib’s! A curse on a girl’s love life!

August 11th, 3.42: is in need of a friendly, warm and long hug… This lack of sleep is making her go nuts! Needs a pair of warm arms around her and a glass of hot milk with a straw.

August 11th, 3.14: wants to sleep but lost her 10-stepws-ti-sleep guide book. If only someone could remind her of step nr. 1, maybe she’ll recall the rest.

=========================================

August 9th, 23.37: is back home, drunk, tired and ready to go to bed before midnight! How bad is that… or maybe on the contrary, with her sleeping history, it may be quite good!

August 9th, 13.34: has been doing so much since this early morning. Had brunch, did some emailing, found a cure for cancer…

August 9th, 11.49: could maybe pretend she's in a different time zone and feel less guilty about opening her eyes at almost midday

August 9th, 2.55: is in bed. Not asleep yet but the bed is an excellent first step! One baby step at a time!

=========================================

August 8th, 13.32: thinks that having something to say is overrated!

August 8th, 11.20: is getting up with a slight…ly horrific hang over. Things didn’t go according to plan. Do they ever?

=========================================

August 7th, 3.30: wanted to go for just a drink. Ended up in a club for one more. Finally in bed trying to end the day.

August 7th, 15.36: is afraid of the thunder! Has nightmares about plane parts falling down from the sky and giant bees aiming to sting her through doors! To be avoided in storms!

=========================================

August 6th, 19.16: wants to stick her head into the freezer and keep it there till Santa comes by!!

August 6th, 10.44: thinks the nothing will be here any minute and she won’t just sit here and let it take over her!

August 6th, 2.39: is sorting out her wardrobe at 2.40am. She lost it! Completely! She needs help, or maybe just some hot milk with honey and a slight coma!

August 3rd, 2.37: is taking a break. Needs to reboot and get rid of trash!

August 3rd, 2.27: has been let down not by 1, by 2, but by 3 people in less then 2 hours tonight. A bit tough to handle…

August 3rd, 2.10: is fed up! Why give if you don’t receive back? How to choose the right people? Learn to trust less…

August 3rd, 1.51: thinks it all may be just a make believe… isn’t it?

=========================================

=========================================

Wednesday, 2 July 2008

July 31st, 3.24: has actually found worse than a face burning cream & Secret Story at night time… A biblical documentary… Should make one sleepy, shouldn't it? One would think

July 31st, 3.16: tried a new face cream and is no bozo the burning clown and its past 3am, watching Secret Story, no sleep… Can it get better than this?

July 31st, 2.03: is going to resist the Skippy chunky call, sort out her business cards once and for all and maybe, if still enough energy after all that… sleep!

July 30th, 1.48: is hiding in her apartment, barricaded from evil!

=========================================

July 29th, 1.15: just found out a girl got rapped by her house. Living in the 16th is not as chic and fabulous as everyone assumes it to be but rather dangerous and even dodgy

July 29th, 1.03: is home after a lovely evening out in Paris… Now what? It’s 1am… time to sleep or to get sleepless?

=========================================

July 26th, 2.52: is starting her 3rd year of TDiP! Thank you all for another fabulous year!!

=========================================

July 25th, 18.22: is lacking sleep. After 4 hours sleep last night, just got up from an attempted nap. Even faked a snore to pretend… Didn't work… Tough night ahead!

July 25th, 12.16: chatted on the phone like a schoolgirl till almost 6am. Hates the phone since 10am. Up too early for human kind to attend lunch then total collaps-ation!

July 23rd, 2.31: is having a severe headache, probably from all that wine & too much unnecessary drama. No more of it… Obviously don't mean the wine!

July 23rd, 2.04: thinks we can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as effectively as by bombs… Or maybe it’s just the wine talking

July 23rd, 1.52: thinks we can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as effectively as by bombs…

=========================================

July 22nd, 16.41: is wondering if it’s worth all the drama… The thing is; would it be as exciting without any at all? Although, less is more isn’t it?

July 19th, 11.08: suspects it may not be the best of things to wake up moody… Is it? Today will be a long… Long day…

July 19th, 3.12: thinks no one should settle for less and if you’re disappointed by someone… let it go and go on to the next. Life is too short to wait around and see what happens

=========================================

July 18th, 21.39: thinks that history teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives

July 18th, 8.09: thought she'd get a table… Got a big heavy box instead. What's the point in getting non Ikea furniture if you have to work on it yourself… Tool power!

July 18th, 7.58: is trying hard not to fall back asleep but considering last night, tonight and tomorrow, she hates table delivery companies.

July 18th, 7.39: is proud of the clock… 7.40… Seen it? Proud of her?… Don’t mock this status!

July 18th, 1.59: asks if you bite your nails? It’s a bad habit! People always tell you that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Bullshit, it’s your hands, that’s the sign of a lady

=========================================

July 17th, 13.05: thinks one half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it. Right now it’s her diet!

July 17th, 10.45: is thinking… What is reason? What is bed? What is reason out of bed? Or is it in? Daylight… Or is it just light? Oh thoughts…

July 17th, 2.59: is in bed, awake at 3am (what else?) watching Secret Story and asking herself, but why? Seriously, why!??

July 17th, 1.47: thinks she’ll need to recover out in the country quite soon if this goes on. Cows, sheep, bugs and nature, no booze and only fruit!

=========================================

July 16th, 11.37: thinks that when people you greatly admire appear to be thinking deep thoughts, they probably are thinking about lunch!

=========================================

July 15th, 22.44: is pathetic! After a fair amount of alcohol and cheeseburgers over the past few days, she wants a glass of champagne and a burger… Addicted! To bed now! Hide!

July 15th, 21.52: can’t really decide if what she’s feeing is melancholy or simply pure physical exhaustion

July 12th, 12.27: is trying to figure out if 6 hours of sleep are enough or if it's a Saturday rule to get some more. Deep thought, isn't it!?

July 12th, 5.54
: is back home. 6am, a few drinks, a burger, nice friends, a small disappointment and no sleep while Paris is waking up all over again…

=========================================

July 11th, 19.51: is not really surprised that penguins mate for life. They all look the same. It’s not like they’re going to meet a really new, great looking penguin someday

July 10th, 19.57: is doing everything her mother taught her not to do since forever! Point at people and put them in boxes!

=========================================

July 8th, 21.15: can’t help being thirsty, moving towards the voice of champagne

=========================================

July 7th, 22.33: is wondering, is settling down the same as settling for…

July 7th, 14.27: thinks that when things mean a great deal to you, exciting anticipation just isn’t safe!

July 4ty, 23.12: thinks there is nothing so pathetic as a bore who claims attention – and gets it!

July 4th, 18.06: is craving pizza and it's not even midnight.. Where is she going wrong?

July 4th, 18.04: is looking at her phone and ordering it to ring… Wishful thinking or teenager stupidity?

July 4th, 17.57: is not expecting it to happen but if it did, it would be so unexpectedly nice… Wouldn’t it? Expectations, friend or foe?

July 4th, 12.19: think that expecting the world to treat you fairly because you’re a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you’re a vegetarian!

=========================================

July 3rd, 18.47: is even more determined to say that as she grows older, she pays less attention to what men say. She just watches what they do… and when they don’t…

June 24th, 11.32: is wondering. They say if you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk. What happens when he runs?

June 24th, 10.23: thinks it’s a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young

Mai 30th, 18.39: thinks some days are not made for getting out of bed and going on with business. Or maybe some people are not worthy of that effort

=========================================

Mai 29th, 8.52: had a strict Dr order to stay home. Is this a way to spend the last days of her..25 (what else) year old existence? This is not the fabulousness she aspires for!

=========================================

Mai 28th, 9.03: is advising to follow Dr’s orders!! If Dr tells you “Stay home” then stay home and don’t try to play superheroes!! Result, you suffer openly at your desk instead of privately in bed!

Mai 28th, 8.49: is concluding that even with an overdose of the drugs she got (yes, he overdosed her) even iron man wouldn’t have resisted… So why is she?

=========================================

May 20th, 15.09: is trying to resist getting up for what will be her 4th cup of coffee since this morning, or was it 5th? or maybe the 6th? Well, an 8th is needed!!!

=========================================

Mai 1st, 12.45: has found work and received from the city a “contrat de prévoyance obséques”… How is that for motivation??

Mai 1st, 11.19: is still in her PJ, still on the sofa, still wondering what to do today and still in front of her pc nowhere near finding a motivating idea!
Mai 1st, 9.42: is back to her good habits, although better (or worse) than before... Up before 9.30am... So, now what? Mai 1st offers what exactly??
