This Sunday has been lazy so far, after a busy Saturday spent partly in the Quartier latin (going to Musée de Cluny with
herself_nyc and then having a drink in front of la Sorbonne), partly in Montparnasse (running errands) and eventually  with going out again in the evening in St Germain. I went to bed at 2 am and didn't fall asleep until 3. BTW sorry
moscow_watcher for not wishing you a happy birthday!

So I haven't done much today apart from enjoying a long bath, eating vegetables and fruits (and dark chocolate!), reading a little bit, and watching the penultimate episode of The Wire. We're near the end, beautiful friends. I have waited a long time before resuming the watchage but after Lance Reddick's hilarious scene in the latest FRINGE, I wanted to see Cedric Daniels again. Also I read that the actor playing Tommy Carcetti is in Game of Thrones so if I'm willing to give a try to the fantasy series I guess that I should bid my farewell to mister Mayor first.

This episode, "Late Editions" was excellent ( so many terrific scenes and meta writing, and I loved the parallel between the wrongly-supposed snitch in Marlo's organization and the actual snitch in the police department) , filled with irony and disenchantment, uncompromising as usual and, above all, quite moving, especially with two heartbreaking scenes involving Mike, Dukie and Bug in the end. I wanted to hug crying little Bug, but it's the Bubbles-like future towards which Dukie was walking that looked so tragic, after the devastating last conversation between the two boys who not so long ago were still children, but Mike couldn't even remember that time and what was lost. Golden moments for a golden show.
Only one 90 minute episode left. I'm gonna miss that show  a great deal.
