Entries from November 2006 ↓

I have left my job due to a particularly nasty bout of papercutitis.

In preparation for a new life of cold-calling and sales-talk I woke early this morning and sat through Glengarry Glen Ross, Wall Street and Boiler Room. I’ve re-read my copy of “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.

I went out for a jar or three to celebrate last night and ran into what seemed to be a Brussels Bloggers Convention. Tippler, Zoe, Aunty Marianne and Daphne were all there. Somebody asked me “what do you do? Are you a blogger?” If you’d asked my grandfather that, he probably would have punched you.

I went to Planckendael Zoo. Although the bonobos and bongos were worth it, it put me off kids for a while.

I’ve asked Tom to redesign Kim Bah Lee (the website, not the person). As soon as it’s done, I’ll recommend him heartily.

I’ll already recommend a friend’s new business. Roland of White Riders has opened SkiidyGonzales. If any of you are near Geneva this winter, give him a call.

Apologies for the lack of action. Kim Bah Lee Mansions remains an internet-free zone and I’ve been busy leaving my job, more of which later. But for now, a quick run-down on the recent venture stateside, in a half-arsed and lazy manner.

New York - not many vegetables - Marathon - elections - quite cold - hot dogs - Manhattan - Grey Goose - Hudson Hotel - investment bankers - Grand Central Oyster Bar - Fifth Avenue - eggs over easy - MOMA - walk/don’t walk - United Nations - Tiffany’s - Key Lime Pie - the massive disappointment that is beef jerky (to be expounded upon).
