my father is going to kazakhstan tomorrow, for 2 months. he's going to work for the european space agency, in baikonour.
i'm really happy for him, but it's just kinda strange. he'll be so far from us. and when he'll be back, my intern will be over, i'll be back from my holidays in roma and berlin, my hair will be much much longer.
but he swore he'll say hello to lenine for me, when he'll be in moscow (before arriving in baikonour, he'll sleep one night in russia). and that's awesome !!

on friday my schoolyear will be over.i can't wait to know what i'll study on september.

yesterday i went to the dalek+obey exhibition. drank 3 martinis. cool.

good night.

je suis un peu fatiguée d'entendre tous ces gens nous expliquer que si on veut voter "non" c'est parce qu'on est teubés, ou qu'on a pas compris la constitution.
si je votais oui à cette constitution, je désavouerai mon métier (sporadique) de libraire, car je mettrai à mal notre chère loi sur le prix unique du livre, qui résiste MALGRE les injonctions européennes.
Mais bon, tout ça c'est parce que je suis idiote.

Soit. sinon je vais bien, merci, ami fantôme qui hante ce lj. juste complètement fatiguée et débordée.
ah oui je vais sûrement revoir bright eyes, pour la 5ème fois. Mais bon.

J'aimerai vraiment voir The paper chase. et the good life.
Aujourd'hui j'ai manié plein de livres mis en pages par Massin, tirage de tête, signés.
Y en a un sur la couv il ya un miroir, sur lequel apparaît une tête, quand il entre avec notre souffle.
Au cas où, Massin c'est le mec qui a créé le mongramme nrf, ainsi que la charte graphique folio
qui a bossé sur la cantatrice chauve, qui a été DA de Gallimard pendant 20 ans.

Allez Hasta la vista

demain je serai en vacances. j'en ai plutôt besoin. mouvement m'a envoyé un mail très très urbain pour me dire que mon stage à cette période c'est pas possible

Je ne doute pas que vous trouverez rapidement une équipe pour vous
accueillir,

J'espère bien.
aujourd'hui un gentil monsieur m'a dit "merci princesse" pour avoir laissé ma place à sa femme dans le métro.
et c cette photo que j'ai cherchée à vous montrer. désespérement.

chandernagor se la pète apparemment plus que prévu. elle a osé dire que tous les prix étaient tronqués SAUF le goncourt. pétasse
