Travel Log VII
01March2011
My time in Paris is coming to a close, and I'm once again finding myself ticking off a list of […]
28February2011 14:51
last parisian writing session today; just posted a wrap-up entry I wrote yesterday: http://wintermute.com.au/bits/2011-03/travel-log-vii/
26February2011 15:56
around 52k now and I've the remainder all plotted out; crazy watching it march inexorably towards its conclusion; difficult but v exciting
26February2011 15:42
real (good) martinis in paris! le fumoir, in the 1e; good coffee & atmosphere to boot; probably good for me I didn't find this place earlier
23February2011 16:19
approaching 50k words and just broke my two stories' first acts; more than half the story told tho, so need to re-work the old 3-act outline
17February2011 19:10
on the train about to leave reims for paris; has been an odd couple of days, mixing nostalgia and a little something like revulsion
Reims 2011 — A City That Never Was
17February2011
Revisited Reims in February 2011; snapped photos of a few familiar sights, and many unfamiliar, the city going through a process of renewal that tries to establish a false history for itself.
16February2011 21:17
instead of "let us pray" priest here (written in paris) says, translated, "let us gather our prayers"; I like it; simple, familiar, communal
16February2011 20:26
didn't think mixed waiters could offer good service, nor that reims could offer a great meal; was a pleasant surprise to have one of my best
16February2011 11:34
made it to 40k and to reims; first stop l'apostrophe for lunch and wifi
13February2011 16:44
shooting for 40k over next cpl days, then off to revisit reims wed/thurs
10February2011 16:41
st sulpice, paris http://instagr.am/p/BgntS/
10February2011 16:41
st sulpice, paris
10February2011 16:37
reached 30k words at my halfway thru paris point, took the day off in st germain; watched black swan — awesome but not aronofsky's best
10February2011 16:36
and @stanmorePhoenix takes the prize for picking up an almost-political subtext; good points re dreams and reality tho, must re-think
08February2011 15:04
think I've found a title for raphaël's story: Dreams Of A City That Never Was; what does that imply to people?
Travel Log VI
06February2011
A writing-focussed entry, this is an exceptionally weird piece, but as will become clear, I need to get it out. […]
05February2011 14:37
as promised, have published a bunch of photos from in and around paris: http://wintermute.com.au/photos/album/40/
05February2011 14:22
booked a trip to edinburgh for my final weekend in the UK! now need to work out what's there to see beyond the castle
Paris 2011
04February2011
A collection of photos from January and February 2011, in and around Paris
02February2011 17:38
raphaël may have met someone; completely unplanned; I've had to switch to writing the 19thC story so he finds someone more age appropriate
Travel Log V
31January2011
Writing continues apace; I've so far killed off one character, given another depression that will likely kill her, and shown […]
30January2011 16:51
posted another travel log, along with some photos from london (paris to come!) http://wintermute.com.au/bits/2011-01/travel-log-v/
30January2011 16:09
restored the twitter->fb link, so the stuff i'm instagram'ing should show up too; this'll work while i'm on hols and not being too webby
26January2011 16:01
incidentally, apple's all-glass thing works beautifully positioned next to the louvre's reverse pyramid
26January2011 16:01

waiting for the eurostar to paris (@ Eurostar Departure Lounge) http://4sq.com/h9Blke
13January2011 14:35
shopping with @minchyow in westfield london, downing a coffee from sacred, leeching wifi, wondering if I can afford a prada bag
London — Contemporary Architecture 2011
11January2011
The City of London visitor centre had a brochure with a walking tour of the city, highlighting a whole lot of contemporary architecture; the Gherkin is particularly well-known (and I've included it in a couple of the photos), but the city is full of new developments (plenty of building sites too), and it's some really interesting architecture, especially beautiful when set against the City's really old buildings too.
