Toto, I don't think we are in the good season anymore.
Yes, I have the feeling that good season got a bit swept away. At least for this few weeks of January. It should be back as soon as I [successfully] deal with my university (and I do hope it happens before 24 January and please, keep your fingers crossed for me). Bad mood, not so much socializing, the must of studying, a lot of confusions what to do with my work life...
Too many questions, too few answers...
Yesterday, I actually did go out with Verena. We went to this chic hotel for an event called 'Fashion and Cars'. As much as I like pretentious and arrogant people, this was way too much for me. It was too snobby. People posing to pics as if they were movie stars (maybe they were?), exorbitant prices (I called it 'unhappy hour' or 'miserable hour' when you pay for two and get one), bad service or no cloakroom (!). But the most obnoxious thing was when I saw this blond, silly-looking girl with a small dog (of the ratter breed) under her arm. She would not let the poor creature from her hands even for a while. She would walk around the place all the time with the dog. And the animal was dressed better than some of the people there.
The event was called 'Fashion and Cars' - there was no sign of cars there unfortunately. And the fashion show was highly disappointing too. Yes, there were some cute models and nice clothes. However, there was even no catwalk. The models were walking in a colouir/through the door from the lobby to the resto where most of the people were standing. The entrance was blocked by the show so other people found it hard to leave or get inside. However, some of them did that interrupting 'the show' and then you could not actually tell who was the model and who was not. Oh Brussels... sometimes so exciting but sometimes so embarassing...
Luckily, I was there with Verena and then our two party mates showed up. They are all smart and funny so we had a lot of laugh commenting on the event and making fun mixing it with sarcastic jokes. It was rather a comedy event that fashion and cars show.
At least there was fun. Because fun is important...

I'm in love with this anecdote. the image of the little dog, going out and seeing those pretentious folks who are obviously not as cool as you and me -- oh, la vie est belle, même s'il est un peu déprimé quelques fois. tu ecrit comme un vrai ecrivain, et c'est tellement magnifique car c'est dans un autre langue! je t'envie.
bisous, habibi.
