The girl who used to write semi regularly? I’m still here, just a bit unfocused. Brilliant news this morning blaring out of the radio at 7am, finally the Americans did it. They made sense. My faith has been restored. In honour I went to see the Olivier Stone film W this morning, but to tell you the truth it didn’t seem much different from all the other so called documentaries that have been playing on french TV for the last 2 weeks. I guess that can be taken as a good thing if you want to be close enough to the truth, but as a movie, in the cinema on the big screen, it was hard to stay awake. There was nothing really awful about it, except maybe the performance of Thandie Newton as Condaleeza Rice, the rest was very bland and not much new. I didn’t even feel sorry for him as I was led to believe I would from the critics, just blah.

Everyone’s talking about the election here in Paris, I even got a few congratulatory pats on the back at the gym this morning… doesn’t matter how much I plead I’m not American, being Canadian as I am to them (thanks to my Quebec accent) is close enough.

Now we’ve got to wait and see what happens between now and Jan 20th when Obama takes over the throne.
