Lucy from Indie Perfumes tagged me, and now I'm tagging you, one of my favorite blogs.<BR/><BR/>So, here’s the protocol:<BR/><BR/>1. Link to the person who tagged you.<BR/>2. Post the rules on your blog.<BR/>3. Write six random things about yourself.<BR/>4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.<BR/>5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.<BR/>6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.<BR/><BR/>Six random things about me:<BR/><BR/>1. I am a lover of organ music (Bach, Widor, Franck, Dupré and Messiaen, especially).<BR/>2. I speak French and German, in addition to my native English.<BR/>3. I, too, am a compulsive reader. I like subways for that reason. For some reason, I can never read in cabs or town cars.<BR/>4. A couple of times a year, I fetishize the ritual of consuming of a very good dry-aged steak with an excellent bottle of wine. Otherwise, I keep a near-abstemious monastic regime.<BR/>5. I have never eaten an ortolan and consider myself the poorer for it.<BR/>6. I am planning a trek along the Silk Road in 2010, provided my country re-educates itself in the art of diplomacy just a wee, teensy bit.<BR/><BR/>Now for some favorite blogs:<BR/><BR/>1000fragrances<BR/>Grain de Musc<BR/>The Moment<BR/>Fragrance Bouquet<BR/>Perfume Shrine<BR/>The Sartorialist<BR/><BR/>Enjoy being It!Vetivressehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184229271272395673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-80605272485910113242008-10-27T18:04:00.000+01:002008-10-27T18:04:00.000+01:00So is the departure of the cat being cast as an al...So is the departure of the cat being cast as an alternative primal scene for you?
