Hey all!
No, I'm not dead, as you can see. The reason I haven't been posting lately is this: I've been in a bad mood, and this blog is not about getting everyone going: 'Oooh, look at poor Nico over there...'.
A freaking long time to be in a bad mood I hear you say. So, OK, I haven't been depressed everyday, no. But the whole immigration affair with Natalie is starting to take its toll on me, and for all that I need to be strong for her and appear confident, stupid bureaucracy is starting to get the better of ol' Bourgui. It's even worse as it does not affect me, but her... It's always the way huh? When you try to get to someone tough, you target the people they care for.
Anyway, enough of this self-pitying crap. It's funny actually, because I honestly believe that, were it not for this small administrative detail, my life would be fabulous. Sure I'm not rich and I could always use more holidays :o) but I got a job I like (most days), I live with Nat and I've got time and money enough to do the things I like (sports, games and movies galore in these parts!). I also get to semi-regularly spend time with Marcel (now if we could just get the Arab to stop pretending he's busy all the time and join us from time to time... Hint hint Karim! :op )
Life is really quite enjoyable here. So here's to hoping we can sort it all out quickly, so we can bask in all its comforts and pleasures. And then there'll be plenty of blog updates from me, for sure :o)
You all take care now!
El Nico
PS: You're right Tao, these pix are overdue. Tell you what, I'm gonna compile a 'best of' for the year so far, just to make up for it!

I'm funny. Well speaking of bad moods, I would highly recommend grading exams. I've been spending my whole day just bitching about how my students are stupid, and although it does nothing to uplift my spirits, at least it gives me an opportunity to vent some of the frustrations I'm currently feeling (ie. I've got a cold and it pisses me off). Anyhoo, as an immigrant myself I can feel your pain about the whole administrative mumbo-jumbo, which I find both unncessary and quite vulgar, being best suited for the labor classes and servants instead of the intellectual elite you and your paramour belong to. Be assured that my heart, liver, and other bits and bobs are with you on your quest. On a happier note, I'm glad you find both the time and means to participate in the things you enjoy. Oh, look at the time ! I have to scream some more at imaginary students about their fucking ANOVAs before heading home to my hot water bottle.
Ta !
You are funny.
Regarding the whole students being retarded thing, at least you get a bunch of hormonal, desperately inquisitive girls barely past teenagehood adulating you for the demi-god you are. Ready to do anything to gain your favours. Aaah, college girls...
man you have been out of the game for too long, you've forgotten all the bad things about college girls, sure there are the young horny bodies with (now standarly enhanced) beautiful boobs open minds and bodies; with nothing to lose and a lot to learn from an older/wiser/mature man who only asks for affection...but come on! I've taught for 2.5 years girls that were 18-22 and the only way to accuratly describe them is "not as mature as they think they are" or as the kids say these days "DRAMA!!!!"
kids these days still say that right?
hum, for the down part, i am quite glad I had you write it because i know how it is difficult to admit these things! So now it's out and every body feels better that you've said, I wondered when it would coem actually. And we are all behind you two (not that it will change anything, but at least somebody cares...)
Love you and thanks for posting!
