Madame La Flâneuse

flâneur, flâneuse:

A flâneur is a stroller, a loiterer, someone who ambles through a city without apparent purpose but is secretly attuned to the history of the place and in covert search of adventure, aesthetic or erotic . . .

In his opinionated fashion, the flâneur visits bookshops and boutiques, monuments and palaces, providing gossip and background to each site, looking through the blank walls past the proud edifices to glimpse the inner human drama.

I am in search of distraction, attention, and diversion and am running away from boredom as fast as I can.
