Momiji, the "shin" generation
Of course, I could not take "karakara" for an answer. And still, I hope it will make it.
When the gardener came back, I asked him for 3 new cuttings. I also met our executive neighbor who happens to be a successful gardener. He mentioned "growth hormone" for cuttings. An excellent article from Le Monde, which I read by chance, also led me to trying one more time.

This time, it looks more like it has a "good health", don't you think?
Momiji, the "karakara" Japanese mapple
The smooth mapple tree from Japan! Remember my beautiful tree post? Well, the gardener subcontracted by the company offered me to "take cuttings" after I asked questions about the handsome tree.
The photo is my first attempt to turn the cutting into a little tree.Now, it's all karakara (dried out). Yet my wishes are still alive : never let go until you're sure it's over.
I hope to write a post about this endeavour in a couple weeks from now and show how it revives. Wish E.T. was around! Do you remember the flower scene from 1982? This movie and Star Wars fuelled a generation's dreams and many more.

This is the place I worked the whole week
One week ago in Paris
With direct access to this blog, I'll post more... So I decided to dig in my archives and publish some of my favorite pictures.
This guitar player (you can meet him in the streets of Paris) is a Fender fan (you can tell!). So am I. Couple months ago, I found a blog of a very talented young woman who is very knowledgeable about guitars : I found out Prince does not use one brand but several...
Someday, I'll buy a USB guitar and plug it in my MacBook. As PN would say "Phil No Manga" (You're dreaming your life like in a Manga). I'll get back to work now!

Sometimes life seems like a manga strip
While listening to Massive Attack... How could I ever forget 'Unfinished Sympathy' in Paris' Chinatown on Edgard's TV. MTV had it. As well as Prince. Still remember the day I rushed out to buy videotapes to record the 'Prince day' clips. Who will ever remember this in the future? Hope my soul is a suitcase for memories...
