An Englishman in New York

I had forgotten that my Valentine's day present was to go see Jarvis Cocker. Tickets were on sale in advance and the show immediately sold out. As a big PULP fan, I couldn't miss such event. Nevertheless, I didn't expect much cause the two songs I heard from his solo album were kinda formulaic and normal. Thing is, this guy is a true showman. He's still one of the greatest front men and he proved it last nite, when more than 1000 people showed up and stayed for an hour long show were they didn't know a song. Cocker not only sang, he danced (a mix of Scott Walker and a geeky kid), read a book, joked and shared his drinks with the audience. His style and charm were present at all times, but he won the New York audience by doing a Bruce Springsteen cover.

He should be crowned too! He made my night.

Miss Marie

WANTED: Young French female for a short but intense friendship during my last month in NY. She should be a chain smoker, always on a diet but willing to break it for something sweet, excellent taste in music, from Brittany, German descent, dancing to everything including the cell phone ring tones, in a shopping mood all the time, commuting with many bags and losing some on her way, meeting guys in the subway and eating from their pizza, excellent cook and must look like the girl on the picture.

The horoscope is so true!

Warning: this time i'm posting just to post. Maybe I always am (posting just to post).

Last nite I picked up the L magazine fresh from the little plastic orange stand. After going through it, and getting some info for my last weeks in this wonderful city (sob!) I looked at my horoscope.

YES, I READ THE DAMN HOROSCOPE... so what?

and this is what it said:

CANCER
When I look at you Cancer, all I see are your crazy monster eyes. I can only assume that you've been consuming far too many harmful substances (daiquiris, Twix, the novels of Paul Auster). You may think your body can handle all the punishments you're prepared to offer, and while that may be true, I think the tight rubber coveralls might be cutting off blood to the brain.

I do have crazy monster eyes because I've been looking at the computer screen like crazy.
It's been a month of having more than two drinks daily (daiquiris included)
I did have a Twix or two on Friday.
and unfortunately I forced myself to read a Paul Auster book under the idea that I was going to interview him (which will not happen and I was secretly happy about it).
About the rubber, well, I did buy a pair of rubber boots today and had to take em off at work cause my feet where falling asleep.
