Not enough sleep impairs intellectual faculties. Tested for you!

It's been a weird week sleep-wise and yesterday I ended the working day slightly distracted and very (I mean VERY) tired. Once home, even tho' I was really tempted to go to bed without even having dinner (!), I decided to watch a film on Simone De Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre on ARTE. I always was interested to know more about their partnership's dynamic, so even if not entirely awake, I gave it a shot. Approximately one hour and a half into the film, I realised that the narrative voice I was hearing was not part of the film's technique but the commentary for blind people... It is definitely time to get serious about getting more sleep!

Battling with FTP settings

I have been battling with my FTP settings for months so that I can publish this blog. Two days ago, not only could I not post anymore, my whole blog had disappeared... My hosting provider kindly restored it ... Let's say I was a little surprised to find out it was a one-year-old version that they'd put back up... So now everything is back and I hope to be a little more regular in my postings.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Shakespeare, William (1564-1616)

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Macbeth, V.v.19-28 (Macbeth)

Suzanne Vega's Concert

I already shared the fact that Fabchannel is a great platform and that I wish it'd be mine. I will share my favourite concerts here once in a while.

Suzanne Vega, Paradiso, Holland, 22 October 2007

A few of my favourite songs are there:
Caramel (it won't do to think of Caramel... I sing this all the time)
In Liverpool
Queen and the Soldier

and some nice songs from the new album.
