Photographie de Paris

I took a lot less photos in Paris than last time I was there (photos!), but I still got some good ones this time around (well, “good” by my standards anyway).

What you don’t see in these photos is the series of miracles that occurred during our visit to Paris. There was uber-chef Pierre Gagnaire getting me to eat (quite happily for the most part) 4 or 5 different sorts of fish & seafood, the nearly-perfect weather in Paris during our stay, and, most miraculous of all, we avoided eating in any of the excellent restaurants we ate at during our last trip (save for a bad pain au chocolat habit I’ve developed in frequenting the Boulangerie Malineau), opting instead for a bunch of new excellent restaurants.

Back in Paris

After a nice time in Copenhagen (thanks to the Reboot team for a good time), we’re back in Paris for a few days. Feels a lot like home here, very comfortable. Who knows, perhaps it will be home one of these days.

p.s. To the person with the open wireless access point near Rue du Temple, thanks for the hookup. :) (And to the folks organizing the free wireless trial in Paris.)

House of Leaves

So, House of Leaves is a book about a book about a book about a movie that doesn’t exist. Or something like that. Post-modern fiction at its best (or worst if you’re not a big fan). I would *love* to see this book — or the movie it describes — made into a movie, but I can’t think of any particular director who would do it justice.

Spun

Skip this one and watch Requiem for a Dream instead…Spun just ripped off all of Aronofsky’s camera techniques. I should have known not to go see something with Brittney Murphy in it. It was good to see Jason Schwartzman in a movie again, but would have preferred seeing him in something better.
