camrogersBeen going through all the old notepad entries on the phone. Found some Paris detail I'd forgotten about.
"Rue Custine. Gangs of guys selling smokes, stashing them in art decon lampposts "(used that one.)
"Not well. Dizzy. I'll need to get to a quiet spot." I remember I was so suddenly hungry I actually thought there was a risk I'd black out on the street. I remember walking and walking trying to find someplace that sold food. Couldn't believe I covered about six blocks and found zip. Finally hit upon a boulangerie, got something long and bready with mayo on it and a bottle of some fizzy orange stuff I never drink. Thought I'd bite my own tongue off I ate it so fast. Then the food hit and I realised how badly I wanted sleep. Instead I hiked to the Basilique du Sacre Couer and photographed it. Saw the best busker I've ever seen charm about three hundred people into an hour of open air singing.
"Burly black riot cop brushing teeth." Citywide music festival. Kevlar and MP5s all over the place. This one guy was brushing his teeth in the open door of a dark blue van, surrounded by his jackbooted buddies as they waited for something to do.
"Basketball court and Algerian dancers." See above. Just a weird contrast.
"Woman in summer dress cycling past, whistling beautifully." That put a smile on my face it was so sunny, and so freaking Parisian.
There's a 30-day meme that a friend's been part of. Figured I'd jump on it, take the question a day thing and see if I can get into the rhythm of posting something daily and flip it into something substantial. yuki_onna 's pretty good at that.
I wont do it every day, but it makes for a good fallback.
