Saturday’s visit to le musée de Cluny was not unprecedented; indeed, Lightroom informs me that we first visited the museum in August of 2014. In the middle of a five-year modernization, it seems almost funny to me that the museum feels better, more focused; while my original impressions were that it was less the national …
The Purrito arched an eyebrow at me, not bothering to hide her mixture of doubt and incredulity as, a couple of weeks ago I informed her of my plans to attempt to cook over the long weekend while she returned to Texas. Her reaction would have tweaked my pride, had I not had my own doubts …
Seriously, Fezzik?
In other news, I wound up seeing a version of Mont-Saint-Michel this weekend…
There exists an alternate universe (a large number of them, if we’re fully invoking many-worlds, though at the moment it’s far too early in the morning to dance with the sanity-threatening bear that is the concept of the infinite) in which this particular post was written a few days from now.

In a (perhaps not-so) rare occurrence of indecision, I’m not entirely sure as to what my actual opinion is with regards to last week’s trip to Mykonos. Accompanied by Pierre, our Greek island adventure occasionally felt much more like a study in dipoles than in consistency: While the view from the villa was outstanding, the …
Strictly speaking, it is not the fault of Lenovo that I am sitting here, some two hours later, attempting to salvage my over-30-gigabyte Lightroom library while wondering if I am going to be able to recover anything else from the HDD of my former Y510p. I would argue that it is Lenovo’s fault that I …
