  2. @mathewi Non, pas en francais. Seulement anglais.
  3. Me talking about the troubles of U.S. newspapers in Le Monde today; somewhere my French ancestors are smiling http://tr.im/qbsy
  4. One more reason to love Louisiana: New Orleans second-lines for Michael Jackson http://tr.im/qa5G
  5. I love the Afghan at left in this David Rohde photo -- he's like Jughead from the Archie comics come to life http://tr.im/q9qD
  6. Great vids from first Blur reunion show; Damon Albarn is my hero http://tr.im/oYwJ
  7. @emckean You'll enjoy this: The most looked-up words on nytimes.com (sui generis, solipsistic, louche top the list) http://tr.im/o9H7
  8. Man, I sound like a pompous ivory tower guy in this interview http://tr.im/o5i5 (Shut up!)

  12. My always-bet-on-the-Cajun strategy wins again -- Kent Desormeaux!
  13. Madlib + Mos Def = excellence http://bit.ly/4hpwRL (Mos vocals too high in the mix, tho -- grime 'em up, Otis.)
  14. Wow. Glad I flew Air France yesterday instead of today.
  15. http://twitpic.com/60qdd - Here's the King of Sweden (the fellow framed in the middle left pane). Now I feel like Gawker Stalker.
  16. Just had dinner a few tables over from the King of Sweden. Seriously. In America, we don't even have a king, much less one who dines out.
  17. Heading to Hamburg in a few hours, then Stockholm, then back to Hamburg. Back in a week.
  18. @leahalexis Whatever good gf points you get from linking may be cancelled out for misspelling @niemanlab. Remember, i before e.:)
