A 50-something French dude that’s old enough to think blogs are still cool, if not cooler than ever.

  • Cardiologist this Saturday, Dentist on Sunday because my dentist likes to work on Sundays while, oddly enough, I have no favorite day to go visit her :p — more seriously, she is real good I’m lucky to be one of her patients.

    Beside that, reading, writing, spend time with my spouse. Maybe watch a DVD and, hopefully, keep on watching an online course at the Collège de France.

    Edit: not much going out and no walking either this WE, like the previous days, since I’ve broken my foot — and I can tell you that not walking is really starting to become frustrating.


  • Sketching, reading, writing, listening to music… not going out for a walk (because of a broken foot) and the, oh so incredibly exciting reinstallation of my Mac on a new and larger thunderbolt SSD.

    Reinstalling macOS has become so slow and such a pain (even more so on an external disc), in comparison with older Mac and compared to reinstalling a Linux system. Luckily, I had a good book to read while I waited for macOS to reinstall itself :p




  • 50+ dude, here: there was no show I rushed home for as… I was not allowed to watch TV when I was a child. Heck, we even had not tv up until I was 8, or maybe 9.

    Later, as a teen and after my parents finally got a tv, I would voraciously watch the Twilight Zone (the Rod Serling version, in B&W) but its episodes were aired on week-ends. So I had no real need to rush either ;)

    Nowadays, My spouse and I have quit watching tv since the early 00s, when we realized we were getting tired of spending money while still have to watch ads… all of that for contents we were not really huge fans of. So we don’t have a TV at all, when we watch a disc or something, it’s on a computer screen.
