Un soir plus jeune

Ah, spent the whole day sur mon ordinateur et à la téléphone taking care of conference details. Man! I think i am gonna quit come fall. Truth is, i really am an academic, and being an administrator is kinda wearing me down even though je peux danser la danse à la perfection. But yeah, the good thing was today was also the convocation day. I always enjoy this day, much more than the commencement. After the departmental party some of us headed out for dîner au restaurant local. It was quite nice actually, these gatherings are always more interesting sans les époux. We exchanged old and new dept. secrets almost until midnight. We also conjectured that some of us might have secret fan clubs! If anyone is interested in math professors' dining topics...among other things we discussed the originations of "french kissing", the word "fuck" (Ah, nous pouvons être frivoles aussi!), and played 20-questions to find out which faculty member was the victim of public subjection to a student's obsession...yikes!

Oh boy! I better shut up now, even though i am not drunk. Also found out tonight that mon professeur a parlé à un de mon collègue de moi. Hmm.

C'est au bout de la vieille corde que l'on tisse la nouvelle. Why send this particular proverb? C'est dommage...I am not really much of a signal reader. I am like a man that way! Oui! I don't wait around sending signal playing coy games, i just go for the one i like.

ok, j'ai faim, time for midnight snack, those of you who know me, you know what i am talkin about! Oh, give me a break, it's just an innocent concoction of strawberries, chocolate and whipping cream! A demain, tout le monde!
