Ah yes, the summer break. Book club will resume in September 📚

TYPES ‘22 has drawn to an end. Train to Paris in five hours 🚊

Looking forward to my book club tomorrow 📚

TYPES ‘22 is quite fun actually. Small crowd, some good talks. But yeah, normal’ish people compared to me 🙃

Waiting for the train to Nantes to attend TYPES ’22. 🚊

Contrary to my sensibilities, nobody seems to be open to remote work across borders 😒

When I moved from the US to Paris, my priorities shifted radically. What I had in the US was a job, and nothing else. In Paris, I have a rich and full intellectual and social life, but can’t seem to convince anyone to employ me 🙃

My insanely productive 1.5-week streak ended this morning, after a 2.5-hour discussion of my paper with my advisor. Looks like I’ve taken on a mountain of work 🌋

Finally re-organized and polished my personal website, after letting it rot for a long time. Design polish is still pending.

My personal hell is Sundays, post 15h. Absolutely nothing is open, and the city is dead 😓

Something Asian for a change.

Had a wonderful souris d’agneau at my neighborhood brasserie 🐑

Meanwhile, even though inflation in France has ticked up in the last couple of months, the primary concerns are tabac and energy 🤭

Customers in the US worry about increasing gas prices. Classic.

Ugh, inflation numbers in the US were released late yesterday. Stocks are all crashing 😓
