contribution to the show).
Paris Montparnasse, the tower and the rail station - two steps away
from Le Dôme, La Coupole, Le Select, La Rotonde and maybe three steps
away from La Closerie des Lilas...
... but also one of the rare Paris' spots
where you can find... Gudang Garam !

... in the afternoon, there was a little music in the Mexico area
(with a guy from the Marimba Nandayapa)...
as well as some curiosities in the traditional book hunting...
Although the fair closed at 10pm, I left around 7...
my pawns refusing to cooperate any more.

No, today's post is about the Salon du Livre-2009,Vaticano justifica excomunhão da mãe que autorizou aborto da filha
de 9 anos. (Correio Braziliense)
"O cardeal Giovanni Battista Re, presidente da Comissão
Pontifícia para a América Latina, defendeu em uma entrevista
neste sábado a excomunhão da mãe da menina de 9 anos
que fez um aborto depois de ter sido estuprada e engravidada
pelo padrasto.
O arcebispo de Recife, José Cardoso Sobrinho, também
determinou a excomunhão de toda a equipe médica que realizou o aborto na menina".
And Women to say :
Mind your own business (and other sensitive situations)
and let women manage serious women's problems.
Amen.

Indi cat has always been screenproof.
He never reacted to TV or computer screens... until today !
(G@ttoGiallo) 
This Paul Williams' video disconcerted him.
It's a shame I've failed recording his first reaction at Paul's "singing cat"
... but I was too stunned myself by his behaviour, as he was watching
the cat, then coming to and fro on desk and keyboard, actively searching
where the whines were coming from.

Lost in the very heart of the Latin Quarter, Thao-Ly is a tiny 22/24
places dégustation (mostly thai and viet food) that really deserves
a taste-test visit if you still don't know it.
All along the '70th it was a meeting point for film makers and
photographers. Cheap, fresh and extremely good, it still is one
of my favourite places.
Now kept by the previous manager's son - assisted by
a young cousin, this little restaurant - only known by
connoisseurs, keeps going confidentially...
My favourite thai soups : # 15 & 23
I won't tell you more, anyway everything's fine.
Tantalized ?
Thao-Ly

Aaarrgh !
There was nothing left, no snacks, no live graphs or performance...
Just a few pics for a little slideshow...

The music is "Trop Tard" [Too Late], from 'Ali Baba' album by Chute Libre.
