How is the weather? Well, It’s a pretty warm spring for a beginning of August.

The two (2) questions still pending from my “Suspense” post are now answered : July was a good month, not too stressful and with everything that came out the way it should have. Work was slow though which means I’ll have to work more in August so that I don’t fill guilt when I’ll leave my internship on the 29.
Brett was finally welcomed back by the Packers (how could they possibly have benched the best QB that played for their team since the AFL-NFL fusion and the apparition of the west-coast offense). But will he be a deluxe 2nd QB behind Rodgers or the iron man starter we all knew and worshiped ? Time will tell us.

I’d like to congrats J.L.P. a really nice guy I know and that just went through something really hardcore, so : Well done J.L.P. , take care, and much love to you J.L.P., I do worship you!

Yesterday, my very-very-best-friend (someone that is like a brother to me) came to Paris for business and we went to Lunch together, it was pretty nice to see him outside of our hometown. It felt kinda strange, but a good strange. We went to a Japanese restaurant called Inaniwa Umami-An behind the Champs-Elysée in Paris. It’s the kind of restaurant that gave me that “If I was a Japanese I would have had better stuff” feeling. I asked them for their sake list and all that was listed was 4 different kind of Junmai futsusake (I took one that seemed not too bad : Aramasa Rokugo Sake by Aramasa Shuzo co.), but it wasn’t as appealing as the lines of refined and traditional-looking sake bottle lined over the shelves on the dinning room. The dishes were simple but ultra-good (my salmon was cooked and seasoned with perfection) but again, it was that “I’m not an habitué” feeling, if I have time to visit them again I’ll make sure to be more “agressif” and ask them for the special stuff.
I started to appreciate some decent sake bottles in Milan, I must say I’m a bit disappointed by this spot. Fortunately there is plenty more for me to try in the website of the CEC.
Maybe it was because it was lunch? I wonder.

My internship is entering its last month. Things are taking shape but I’ve no idea how far my friend is taking his ideas. It’s like you are watching a really really slow explosion, you never know what’s happening until it’s done. Anyway I’m really exited to closing this up, I must say that I’m more looking forward my year in Strasbourg (and possibly in Japan) than I’m sad to leave this very interesting project. Plus I think Paris is just not the city for me (apart for the awesome quantity of good restaurant) I’m still a little guy from the south, if I don’t smell pasta&pizza or see the sea I’m no good (NISSA FOREVER BABY!).

Peace.
