Tchernobyl Cha Cha With Dead Squirrels in the Lafontaine Park

I have been invited to a birthday party taking place in... the Lafontaine Park, on Saturday !  Dunno if I'll go.  Miss Photo will be there and even tho I enjoy her company, I am subconsciously irritated by her energy-sucking attention seeking ways.  But Miss France, whose birthday is going to be celebrated, is a cool lil' chick !

Tomorrow, on Thursday, I'm going to have a drink at St-Sulpice with some old friends from film school, friends I haven't seen for ages.  One of 'em is back from Jerusalem and will entertain us with his trip narration.  St-Sulpice is a student / jock bar in downtown Montreal, and is usually refered to as "St-Suplice" as the music and crowd are quite painful.  If the waitresses are big booty blondes from the 450 area like the last time I went, their view will quickly ease my pain.  This, and the beer, of course !

Dunno what's wrong with me these days, but I have an ever-expanding thirst / hunger for superficial chicks from the north or south shore.  Girls who all look the same, wearing low cut jeans, mini skirts, with blonde shades in their brown hair or vice versa, heavy makeup on their faces, etc...  They devote their life to looking "good" (as in "like everybody else") and they end up with nothing really bright to say.  They're all into hip hop, guys with upside down baseball caps driving red hatchback Civics...

Hope my fixation will die down soon, because this is getting ridiculous, and on top of that I just can't seem to pick one up, which is kind of embarassing.

I just can't wait to put my hands on Michel Houellebecq's upcoming book, LA POSSIBILITÉ D'UNE ILE.  But then again, will I read it ?  I have been looking forward for Rem Koolhaas' MUTATIONS for a couple of months before finally deciding to order it, and when I received it, I took a brief look at it and put it on a shelf, where it still is.

I'm afraid the same will happen with Michou.  PLATEFORME had that surgical precision and cold tone that really made me feel uneasy.  I also loved LES PARTICULES ÉLÉMENTAIRES but not as much.  Working in "travel" and studying gestion, I couldn't help being fascinated by PLATEFORME's narrator and themes.  Being sex-obsessed also helped, I guess.

Basically all writers & directors with an alternative approach to sex have an interest, in my eyes.  The market has seen too many Harlequin books, cheap "Bleu Nuit" softcore porn and glorification of the internal cumshot for me not to react.  It's time for the gonzo to take over !  Burn the remaining taboos and shock the Régie du Cinéma !  Their old-fashioned rules are falling one by one, and I call that progress.  I've worked in the porn "business" long enough to be bored by it all, but I still feel concerned.

Who the fuck needs another Jenna Jameson ?!
