It's the weekend, bitch (3/3)
Epilogue

• Love, sex, etc.

First of all, Paul and I sent each other messages. He asked me straight away whether I met someone on saturday night. This one is very insightful. I said yes and we agreed to be friends. Moreover, that's what he wants. Friends. He's been in London for a year, he hasn't got any friends. He's really nice. We're meeting up soon.

About William, no news. Nothing. Whatever. Anyway, he supports John McCain for the presidential elections.

Yesterday evening, while finally tidying up my room a bit, I found boxers that weren't mine. Paul had told me he would leaver his Le Coq Sportif boxers, but William didn't say anything. These boxers with "Temptation" written on them would be his? I don't remember them though. Mystery! What is that weird habit among English speakers to leave their dirty pants at their partners'?!!!

Even if I didn't start any serious relationship with anybody that weekend, I think it was a very good weekend. I start getting less scared.

It's the weekend, bitch (2/3)
I met someone else

• 13 February 2008 at 12:34
• Love, sex, etc.

I haven't finished talking about that weekend... I need to talk about the following one as well. Anyway...

So, that saturday night, I go to David and aoife's birthday at the Ziggy's in Hoxton Square. Is it destiny or coincidence, Paul tells me he's going to the ame place. I find my mates, drinks and laugh. Then Paul arrives, I introduce myself to his friends but he seems distant, like I'm disturbing him or something. I don't insist.

I meet William, David's mate, who works for the Parliament! For a Tory MP! Eww! We chat, talk about shit, have a laugh. Paul and his friends leave to finish their mate's leaving party somewhere else. Fuck him. David wants to go to a gay place. I ask him if William's gay, he says he doesn't know. While we are looking for a cab, William whispers to my ears: "I don't give a fuck about going to a club, I wanna go to your place". Well okay then he really is gay!

In the club, the three of us have two double vodka redbull. Completely hammered. I tell William that even though I don't agree with Margaret Thatcher's policies, she's been a great Prime Minister and I have the feeling I gave him abn orgasm just by saying that. We finish our drinks very quickly and we run to a cab playing I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Is Gone and we start singing in the car.

We arrive at my place, and I introduce William to Vicky and Patrick, after telling them secretly "I invited a guy, but it's not the same as yesterday". We go to bed, we have a nice time. (I didn't know Jonathan was here this weekend, he must have heard everything!!!)

The following morning, we have breakfast on Stoke Newington Church Street but he only reads the sport news. I'm bored to death. He runs to get his bus and tells me he'll get my number from David. No news since then.

It smells like death for Clinton

• 07 February 2008 at 14:04
• Politik Pop, U.S. '08

Clinton didn't have it so bad for Super Tuesday. There is still some shenanigans about the precise number of delegates she won, but I guess it's fair to say she had an even game with Obama. And that's exactly the problem.

She couldn't break the Obama wave and now, this movement is only growing. Indeed, only in January, Obama received the stunning number of 32$M donations. And after Super Tuesday, he got 5.8M$ in a very short period of time! It's all the more as surprising as he got all this money from individuals and not firms, lobbies or other "special interests". Clinton had to give 5M$ in her campaign from her own money.".

In France as well, people would prefer Obama. In the National Assembly, the members of parliament would all fall for Obama. Only a few left-wing people want Hillary because she's got "the most left-wing program about society issues such as health care".".

It smells like death for Clinton. If she still has a slight national lead on Obama, the growing movement generated by Obama, as well as his financial means should now enable him to beat Clinton. However, she could strike back by asking the Democratic Party to take into account the delegates of Florida and Michigan. But that would be sad.".

Exit polls

• 06 February 2008 at 00:16
• Politik Pop, U.S. '08

Exit polls have just been released. They do not give the final results but indicate a trend. Hillary Clinton would only get 5 States :(

That's it, I'm totally gutted again. It appears I never get it right in politics, I never support the positions that everyone agrees with, and never get carried away by the candidates winning :(

Though, I would have loved a "Clinton-Obama" ticket. The contrary is impossible, Obama can't choose Hillary as Vice-President because of his message of change. Next time, we will remember that it is better to know how to make a speech and say nice things rather than talking about the real issues.

Good night.

Clinton referendum

• 04 February 2008 at 00:55
• Politik Pop, U.S. '08

This week, there will be Super Tuesday and then maybe a clear number will determine who, from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, will get the Democratic nomination.

Many say the polarisation the ex-First Lady generates and many are those who would like to finish her, some even talk of a Clinton referendum. And the trend is not in her favour. The Obama machine is running at full power, with lately a video with celebrities dedicated to the Senator of Illinois.

So, will the Americans finish off the Senator of New York or will they choose her?

I met someone!

• Love, sex, etc.

Last Friday, Mark, Jim, their mate Mark and I went to Ghetto, Soho. We got as drunk as humanly possible and at some point, I noticed a guy staring at me. I avoided him until I realised he was quite hot! We introduced ourselved to each other (his name's Paul), we kissed, we spent hours to get my jacket back (I had lost my ticket!), we took the bus while eating Big Macs and we went to my place.

We had a quite quiet night... Yeah, I didn't have any gel :/

In the morning, he met my flatmate Patrick and we went to Shoreditch to have breakfast. We talked about our own lives. He comes from New Zealand, travelled a lot in Africa, Adia and Europe, speaks Swedish fluently and got a very sexy "kiwi" accent.

We said we would meet up the very evening if possible, or next week. He insisted on meeting my friends, saying that he couldn't make friends in London...

"Boo! First Lady is bitch!"

• 03 February 2008 at 20:56
• Tombé pour la France, Politik Pop

That's it, Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy are married.

Well, at least, he will have solved the problem of protocols when abroad.

It felt really weired when I read "Carla Bruni is France's First Lady". The status of spouse of head of state is a more or less official position in France. She now represents France as well. Sarkozy had been France's only face for the last four months, it may not be a bad thing that she completes this portrait. Well, I never had a lot of consideration for la Bruni, with her past as a top model, her incredible chain of boyfriends (and not nerds, very good guys and all) and her boring songs. She's rather left-wing, she took part of the concert against the DNA tests and now she marries the right-wing embodiment. Like what, "ensemble, tout devient possible" (Sarkozy's campaign tagline)!

However, I laughed a lot when I read comments on websites, especially one saying: "Boo! Shame on France, First Lady is bitch!".

Well, apart from that, it'd be nice from them to release pictures of the wedding, I'm fed up with those at Luxor.

Who's getting the momentum?

• 02 February 2008 at 18:54
• U.S. '08

Next week, it's Super Tuesday. 22 States will vote for their Democratic candidate. The problem for Hillary is that the momentum is clearly for Obama in the polls and in the facts: Ted Kennedy, several newspapers as well as progressive organisations gave her their support. Besides, comes an anti-Clinton storm with Obama saying Hillary would bring back the country to the 20th century, a video on the web that would show she hasn't always helped unions and now, far-right commentator Ann Coulter says that, should McCain get the Republican nomination, she would back Hillary Clinton, given that she considers she's more conservative!

In a nutshell, Hillary must be shitting herself and we can see her multiplying initiatives to keep on gathering.

However, the party is not over for her. She still has a clear lead in some States and we know she has got more than one trick in her bag (yeah, french expression meaning she's cunning). She may be waiting for the good moment to shoot.

• Music, cinema, TV, books...

I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
Ill let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
Im a full grown man
But Im not afraid to cry
