Something's Changed...
I was watching TV the other day and they were showing this house and how it was decorated. They were going through the different rooms and showing how things were set up and showing these sticker things that French people apparently love but I think look ridiculous. (seriously, check out some French websites. They're are these things that you ( Read more... ) -
Get Ready
Last night I was listening to some music on the iPod before turning in and I heard this song come up. I really liked it, but it was very much outside of my normal realm of what I would listen to. When it first came on, I thought it was something from Ghost in the Shell. But it sounded richer than something from a PSOne game. So then maybe it ( Read more... ) -
Home Show, and other revelations
One of the greatest things about French television is the shows that I don't get to see that I now get to see on a regular basis. Before, I didn't live in Europe I never saw quite a few shows. I do have to say, I noticed a pattern with me though. I usually have to find the presenter hot to really latch on. For example; I love Nigella Lawson. ( Read more... ) -
You know you watched the Victory Garden too. Don't deny it!
This story made me think.I don't know if anyone else's parents had gardens when they were younger, but I remember how hard my father worked in his, and both of my grandmother's before him. There were a few things about this article that really jumped out at me. I guess I really would like to carry on the tradition of having a garden, of any ( Read more... ) -
The Emperor's New Clothes
This actually came from a story that I read first on Joe.My.God. but read a link from Pam's House Blend and actually borrowed the phrase from Americablog. So I have always been a supporter of gay causes, well obviously, and I like to consider myself well read and informed on LGBT issues. Now, it's not that I am saying that the HRC doesn't do ( Read more... ) -
The world ends, what do you do?
So tonight I saw 2012, and I have to say, it was not a bad movie if you took it for what it was. It was by Roland Emmerich, the same guy who did Independence Day, so you can expect amazing effects and cataclysms galore. It was nice to see John Cusack in another kind of role too. I did miss Joan though ( Read more... ) -
Take from it what you will....
I had a dream last night, and it wouldn't have been anything worth commenting on really, except for the fact that it made me think of an idea that would be fun to do, but I am betting no one would watch it. I could insulate myself in the theory that it's too high concept for the unwashed masses, but it's more likely that it's completely ( Read more... ) -
Maybe a little lame, sorry.
So I don't know how anyone on my group of friends feels about Twilight, but this sort of relates to it. As for me, I think it's great that kids are reading. I read the first book, was unimpressed, but felt a little of the pull. I'll never fault anyone for enjoying it, but hey, if it's your thing, let your freak flag fly ( Read more... ) -
And the hits just keep on coming
You know how it is, when you read something and you're so hopeful and it seems like everything is crystal clear? That's how I was a couple days ago. I had read that there was a document that provided for anyone who was PACSed (had a Civil Union) was entitled to a Vie Privee et Familiale visa. I had started thinking about how great it would be to ( Read more... ) -
Now all I can think of is Nuku Nuku
Obviously, as most people knew, yesterday was my birthday. I had a great night with a bottle of champagne, good company, and some damn good cake, I tell you what. I got a couple of cute shirts and I got to talk with my parents, and I maybe even got the ball rolling on something that's been bothering me. So overall, things look to be on the up ( Read more... )
