This Week

Reading: December Vogue, guest editted by model Gemma Ward (I'm not a fan of hers); still reading Gainsbourg by Gilles Verlant - it's big!
Watching: South Park. Oh how I love juvenile humour!
Eating: Healthy until the end of November. Brilliant tapas at Captain Torres last night.
Bought: eBay bargains - 2 fun Diane Von Furstenburg tops, Gharani Strok black skirt.
Listening To: Red, White And Crue, Motley Crue's Greatest Hits; You're Under Arrest, Gainsbourg, especially Mon Legionnaire.

Gainsbourg's version of Mon Legionnaire is superb. I could quote lines from it, but I would have to quote the entire song, as the words are so beautiful and moving. I want this picture on my wall (from the You're Under Arrest CD booklet):

Is the December Vogue the one that has the article on blogging, or was that the November issue? (nice to see that Vogue have finally jumped on that bandwagon)

La Dauphine, I actually find Gainsbourg really attractive, especially as he got older. Of course, it has something to do with his brilliance, his supreme intellect, but I go weak at the knees over images of him such as the cover of Mauvaises Nouvelles des Etoiles (http://www.gainsbourg.net/images/discography/mauvaises_nouvelles_des-etoiles_2001.jpg).

You can get all his CDs, including You're Under Arrest, at Amazon. It's his last album and it's quite melancolic (including the brilliant Gloomy Sunday/Sombre Dimanche).

Jules, this is the December issue. The article on blogging in the November issue was a yawn, nothing new or interesting. It was like they were introducing blogging to the readers (hey, most of us already know about it!) instead of highlighting the best, trends, etc.
