So here it goes, I know it's been a while I have not posted here and I apologize for this lack of words from me.
Well if I have to give you an excuse (and I feel the few people who actually read my thing deserve it for their support) I could tell you that I have been working a lot (for the past three weeks) and enjoying the summer in Boston (read "the heat") as most as I could. I could also tell you that I have been spending less time in front of my computer and more time in front of...well...tv (not better), or reading. I'd probably be lying. Truth is I was confronted to a major writer's block and the fact that I write in both languages does not help. I have to be honest with you and tell you I have been writing in French, very happy that my writing style had not completely gone out of my mind, and have just been too lazy to translate it. Because well I don't know who reads that blog but I know that most of the people I share it with know English well enough to read what I have to say. The French version of that sentence is unfortunately not true.
I have a bunch of stuff to update you with such as my new awesome job but I doubt that you are here to read about that. So just a quick update: job is awesome, onboarding (thank you Murielle for teaching me that word) has been great and I have a lot of things to do there. I feel I am learning a lot and I hope my footprint is as significant for them as it is for me. I don't mind the long commute as it gets me to read much more and write in my brand new Moleskine notebook. Also my job gives me the great feeling that the 4 years of study I've gone through were not pointless. And that's a good point considering I am at D-45 from starting to pay off my loans.

On top of that Sean left last friday so the past weeks have been all about enjoying Boston knowing I would not see a bunch of my friends (including Sean) for a long time. However the good thing is that old time friends are soon going to replace the new found friends that left as much as they can as Damien is coming to Boston in now 2 weeks, Nicolas is moving to Ithaca in 3 weeks and I also have in sight to see my cousin Helene, visit Boston for a few days, former coworker and current artist Eva. So all in all, the summer has been and looks to be quite good. Hyacinthe also came to visit so life seems to get in shape as I move on with my post-graduation blues (almost cured). My planned trips include NYC, Newport Folk Festival, Philadelphia, Mexico, San Francisco and Toronto. Also with Simon coming back to Montreal in September, I might add this to the list. The fact that I am not allowed to leave the US or its neighbors Canada and Mexico for Visa purposes for another undetermined period gracefully forces me to visit places other than my parent's house in France. And that is a good feeling.
So just a quick update on my life. I am still in deep writer's block coma but I felt I ought you some pixels being used. I am working on another post more interesting than this one. Consider it a teaser. Promised.
Yours truly,
