C'est vrai

It's been a week now. In mr jones' city.

Thoughts just kept bubbling in my mind, couldn't give them form. Perhaps i will just list them, in order of perceived importance.

Ah, perceptions!

4th of july. I was pretty depressed. Called up a 'friend' who i knew had a major crush on me, and went dancing. Took one scotch to get drunk, danced for hours. Men came over, asked me if i was visiting or lived there, i didn't answer, surement pas, but i did dance with them. Oh yeah. If you got moves baby, lay it on me, is all i say on the dance floor. Hold me strong, keep me stable and twirl me around...er truth is although i enjoyed my temporary trance, it was no help in the end, and i was just reminded of how depressed i was. What's worse, one of the men gave my friend advice in the line of how he was a fool and that he should not let me go and that he should marry me ...what the hell?

Sigh.

My friend thinks mr jones is playing me. Are you, mr jones?

Anyway, i might have ignited something inadvertently cause now my said friend has been calling me and i am avoiding him. Damn!

June 30: Moved into my new cool flat. The building is hundred years old i was told. Had interesting interactions with certain people. Man, i love this slope-y foggy city and whatever happens i know i will be happy just walking around or listening to city noise, watching whimsical fog descend on sombre bridges or checking out old buildings. Then there is the bay of course. So yeah, it deserves a post all by itself. Later.

June 22: Came back from island trip and received news that my nsf grant was officially awarded. Lots of congratulatory emails. Felt nothing. But it does draw a line of some sort, me having to transfer my old grant to someone, ushering a new, something, ah, like a new work-me, lol, whatever!

Oh look at the time, i have to head out for a meeting with my research sponsor. By the way, dunno what i said, he is all excited about the project ideas and wants to extend our collaboration from two months to a year.

Hey, i am not complaining. Comme j'ai dit, j'aime la ville!
