12.10.01: La Rotonde Bastille, rue St. Sabin / rue de la Roquette An experiment to try doing some translation work sans computer. The conditions seemed helpful enough: café not far from home, southwest-facing terrassse, take a seat just behind the sun inside. Unfortunately, longhand simply cannot compete with typing, however three-fingered and error-ful my own technique may be -- and it all has to be typed in the end anyway. I tried to soldier on with one of the "proofreading" jobs I'd been given by The Joint, but this was more of a hoot than anything else. The hispanophone who'd composed it had, to say the least, a very amusing grasp of English academic style.
