5 things about this week in no particular order
1. A new old article about Salinger and the upcoming (maybe someday to be more accurate) publication of Hapworth 16, 1924. It's a great article. It was written on the occasion of his turning 90 (last January). I loved especially one part :
Joyce Maynard, who lived with Mr. Salinger in the early ’70s, wrote in a 1998 memoir that she had seen shelves of notebooks devoted to the Glass family and believed there were at least two new novels locked away in a safe.
I can't even imagine this is true. It would be too unrealistic. The whole thing is already unrealist to be honnest. Anyway. Go read it, it's great !
Still Paging Mr. Salinger by Charles McGrath for the NewYorkTimes
2. I'm listening to Coldplay's Viva La Vida again and it reminded me that I saw this performance of Life In Technicolore ii at the last NRJ music awards and it was fantastic. This is only Chris Martin with his piano. And he speaks French at some point in the song ! (he does speak very well French actually !)

3. The opening of the Super Ball episode of The Office entitled Stress Relief. It had been a long time since I last laughed like I did in front of The Office !
Stress Relief Intro
4. Gus Van Sant & Dustin Lance Bass were at the Berlin Film Festival last night !
(I recognise the place in Berlin where the Festival takes place by the way ! It's so strange to see everyone where I was last December !!)
5. Rob Pattinson and Tom Sturridge being best friends.

I hope you're all having a great week !
