My suitcase is still in the hands of Air France baggage retrieval. A French-speaking gentleman -- probably, I'm guessing, the delivery guy hired by Air France to deliver retrieved luggage -- called this morning, but our attempts at communication were a complete failure. (His English was non-existent; my French is pathetic.) I've been wearing the same clothing since Monday morning. I have to figure this out, so I may be out of the loop until later today.

I'm nursing a vague interest in attending a 3 pm Kung Fu Panda press conference. I'm definitely seeing Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Three Monkeys at 4:30. pm (Salle Debussy) and Steve McQueen's Hunger at 7:30 pm (Ditto.). A couple of parties are happening later this evening.

I am sure the lovely ladies are digging your funk at these parties. Actually you probably smell like most French dudes by now.

Never mind that. John Phillip Law has passed away.

RIP, Diabolik!

Berkguru's comment is valid. I have been to Cannes and Paris and Nice -- I would say a large percentage of the population doesn't bathe. I believe they splash water on their bodies by their sinks and sometimes use deodorant. Men and woman. That's just how they are for whatever reason.

Always pack an extra set of clothes in your carry on bag.

This trip sounds like a real hassle, Jeff. Sorry about that.

I avoid checking baggage whenever possible. I can pack a lot of shirts in a backpack along with my laptop, so i just check the bulkier stuff, like jeans, since you can wear the same pair for days anyway. I roll everything else as tightly as I can, hang them in the bathroom with the shower running as an easy way of steaming them and then do a quick ironing if needed.
