Blogging Foucades

I’m making some changes on my blog and in my blogging life. I want to be a bit more systematic in the future, a bit more structured. For the time being some behind-the-scenes work is being done. I’ll be back on with gusto soon. My blogging efforts could be explained by the French Ecrivain in 1885:


Cette fourniture [d’idées] aux autres se fait chez [other bloggers] journellement, régulièrement, à la méridionale; chez moi, au contraire, c’est par sursauts, par foucades, à la suite d’une indignation de l’âme; et quand ça sort, chez moi, ça débonde encore plus que chez [other bloggers]. ~ Goncourt

I get from your quote that other bloggers are cheezy? Maybe I should wait for my wife to translate…..

Is this your findesiecle moment? Time to get out of the 19th century and do some revamping? I look forward to the new look!

Does the part your French quote about the Southerner mean that you are moving to Greenville ? :)

Je ne comprends pas que c’est que tu dit (i.e. “Huh?”)

Huh?

Some of us only took Spanish in high school. Can you translate that to Spanish?

I think you’ve let your blogging future slip out a little… I saw a link on another blog that brought me to a new place… Folks, I’ve seen the light of a new Pensees…

Tiens toi tranquelle, comprends tu?

Okay, so I stole that line from Jane Eyre. ;)

“I get from your quote that other bloggers are cheezy?” - Jeremy

And apparently some are fat cheese at that!

Let me see if I can come out with the gist:

Other bloggers have a supply of ideas daily, regularly; as for me, it’s quite the opposite. It comes in spurts and starts, following the inclinations of the soul. And when it happens for me, it bursts forth in much greater quantity than for them.

Not a word-for-word, and I cheated for vocab on Babelfish a bit, but did I get close? :)
