So I have been busy with more French and finding an apartment. Which, I am happy to say, we have. You can see a small picture of the outside of the building here. We have been looking for a number of months for a new place, although the intense searching didn't kick in until the beginning of the month. The apartment we found is from the 20s and really cool inside. Moreover, it has more room than we currently have and it is three blocks from where we live now. We are super excited. I'll add new address and whatnot here when I get it.
I have been cooking a lot since I am home most afternoons. This is also very nice. I realized one day that taking the time to make a good meal that you enjoy both preparing and eating is pretty much my definition of the good life. And that if you can do it, then do it. We also started the coolest culinary tradition in the Jaussen household thus far. For the last three saturdays we stop at the local fish market for fresh filets and cook them up that night. So far we have had salmon (twice) and tuna steaks. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
The summer reading has been a bit scattergunned but actually I am quite happy with the way it has shaped up. I got to read some cool novels (House of Leaves is a great read, although time consuming) and some cool philosophy as well (de Certeau's Practice of Everyday Life is definitely worth the effort). I still have a list, of course . . .
I will try to be a bit more regular with this thing in the next month or so. Once we move I am accquiring a new computer as well as home access.
