And here's my tv quote of the week :P
Excellent one to use after the third joint!!!

"If I am not me, then who am I? And if I am someone else, then why do I look like me?"
Popeye

I find it really crazy that some country can put someone in jail because of just a word...
Honestly, it sounds like a bad joke, no?

The French student, Franck Moulet, has just spent 336 hours in an American jail for having said the word "bomb" while being travelling.

Welcome in democracy...!
et vive la liberté ;-) hehe

rilly...: (shaking head)

Suddenly it seems that the fact there were -or were not apparently (!!!)- weapons of massive destruction in Irak was not a problem really.
I think some are really making fun of people.
We feed them with fears and possible threats and this way we get all the support to play at "Risk" in a rather realistic way".

(sigh)

(btw, I luuuuuuuve playing at Risk! Don't tell anyone, but I always cheat a bit... distributing more soldiers to meself :P
Martin was kinda shocked when I told him about Risk because the game was much linked to the Nazis -IN GERMANY-!!!!!! And now the aim of game in Germany is to liberate the world, not conquere it! LOL! ... a bit less funny, no? ;-)

Oh, I forgot to inform my bloggie that for the very first time Lola has walked outside in the park (that was on last Sunday!).
I think the moment when a baby gets out of her pushchair is really important (in a baby's life). She now can look at world while being really part of it. You know what I mean, yes? ... yup, she's getting independent!!!

Phewww... I've finally found a good reason to be a human being!

... did you know that to make one kilo of honey, bees have to visit 4 million flowers, travelling a distance equal to 4 times around the earth!!!

Haaaa... now I know dat, I will sleep well. Rilly :P

Lola's been kissed in the middle of the street by a 3, 4 years-old lil *man* named Valentin**~~*^*
And Lola looked happy... not angry, offended, indignant or disgusted :P

Life can be so simple when you're still a lilliputian ;-)



(PS: for those who know him, all the frogs around come from Fitz! yup yup! :)

There are not many French bands that I enjoy, well very few actually. But Air is one of dem.

I think they are now, after 3, 4 albums (?) in my personnal top 10 of my fav bands. Their last album, "Talkie Walkie", is available (in English, btw) since a few hours and I'm already under its spell.
It's definatly the kind of muzik that can make me fly above these dark clouds surrounding me**~**~~*^* *..and I just wanted to thank dem for this new Beaudy~*^* *

Today is the celebration of Saint Angele... Ok, that does not mean anything to anybody except maybe the goils like me who went to schools run by the Ursulines (nuns).
Saint Angele was the one who created these girls schools.

And so, every 27th of January has always been a kewl day during which we had no courses or lessons. We had to go to church, ok, but after we could enjoy some different activities and forget about exams :P

We've had melted snow then real snow for hours yesterday! And we should expect more today... it feels like winter's back, I get very cold feet and can't stop having hot drinks. I should stay in bed with a good book! LOL... well in some other life maybe :P

(getting ready for a frozen walk with the shrimpette)

Well, that specific bloggie is not supposed to interest anyone, so jump into the other one, yes yes! :P

That's with such topics that I realize I really use blogs as a journal. Not as a real communication tool.

By the way, I think there are two kinds of blogwriters.... :

1) the talentuous, generous and creative ones, those who will spend a lil more time than others to find the last joke, the last groovy topic to entertain their readers.

2) the self-centered ones, to whom I belong, those who write about their life, exciting or boring, they don't care. What matters is what happens to them. And among these, some think their life can be shared like a soap-opera on tv. They want a regular audience, there is a part of exhibition here. Others, and I situate myself here, just see their bloggie as a way to sit down and relax a minute with oneself. If it can improve communication with relatives or friends, great. If it does not, it's not a real problem. We write for ourselves, selfishly but honestly.

Anyway, I was to forget I wanted to ask the Universe in some kind of official way (then in a bloggie -why not-) to help me find a new GOOOOOD gyno!!!!
My regular one works too far away, I'm forced to change.
And rilly, you goils noooooooooooooooooe what I talk about, finding a new gyno is NOT easy!

My last one was a man, I'm going to chose a woman. Just for a change.
Ok, but that does not help me to find a GOOOOD one!
Damn!

Bubye "man of the week", and hullllo "TV show's quote of the week"!
Yup. A pity you think? I agree... A nice pic of a male-ish creature was inspiring. But it started to be too difficult to find appropriate "subjects".

However weird it sounds, I'm going to put instead a quotation from famous TV shows. Some make me really smile and I think I could turn them into *philophers' truth* in boring dinners :P

Okies, here we go:



"You're a vicious man."
"I'm Head of Security. It's in the job description."

(Babylon 5) Ivanova and Garibaldi, The War Prayer

Almost 9.30 am and everybody's still sleeping around!
And Lola did not woke up crying last night!!! .... (happy sigh**~~*^* * -not for me, but for her!-)

It's such a pleasant moment when all is quiet... putting some soft music on, having a first cawffee, getting time for bloggies and for drawings.

laaaaalalalaaaa**~~*^* *

I did not know Helmut Newton was Australian!
I had kinda forgotten about his work till I've learnt about his death today.
I gotta say he's been the center of my attention for long times when I was a lil one... I had discovered on the shelves at home some of his books.
I don't remember really if I was hmm more frightened or fascinated the first times...
But I know I was surprised and curious about these representations of what will be named later *glamour or bourgeoisie decadence*!

I've signed my contract and I've just sent it back...
phewww, it's done!

I'm having champ' to finally celebrate that (weeeeeeeeeee!!!!!) .... I had no idea *this* story would be the one which would work!
No, actually when I started to send the first manuscripts, I did not think at all it would work.
Funny how life can hide surprises :)**~~*^* *^^* ~~*^*

2 days ago I've dreamt Ticky Holgado (French actor) had died. He died today... !
That frightens Martin! lol

This guy had *a face* and some style, I liked him I think (but to tell the truth I had never wonder about him before).

Make a salad with oranges and clementines, add cinnamon and leaves of fresh mint and then you'll get an idea of what Heaven tastes like !!! **~~*^* *

Lola has kissed 2 boys today!!!
(the beginning of a not too long series I hope!)

... One hasn't noticed, the other started to fight!

Really.....grmmmpppphhhhhh!!!!

Et voilà! Here's the stamp I've made for La Poste's competition.
It's Jacques (Chirac :P) who'll have the final word on the next stamp which will be chosen! lol!
I wanted it to be simple and naive (first because I worried we'd see nothing in such a small size, second because I wanted it to be really a plain representation of la marianne).
I wanted it to be a bit stylish though and also to remind of the DOM-TOM (french territories like La Martinique, etc). I also wanted it to be a nature-mama. And dat's it.

I usually follow with much interest what new actions are led by Amnesty International. And it seems the last campaign concerns death penalty and child execution...
When it comes to death penalty, I always feel ashame that we -human beings- are able to seek so much for revenge that we have no probbie turning into murders ourselves.... under the cover of some barbarian laws.

Anyway, Amnesty International's actions are essential and require microscopic efforts from our side. So I'm sure along with this new campaign there will be new letters of protest to send (I'm on my way to check about it). It takes 5, 10 minutes maximum to do it + the price of a stamp :) ... lil efforts+lil efforts will make a difference!

Yesterday was kinda heavier than usual. After taking the shrimpette early to one of her "children's place", I came back home... then while taking care of the shrimpette (who had cried all night before...), I managed to make and send our answer to the editor -which was real long work-... I started to work on my new project too, went to the ophtalmologist where it was almost impossible to do anything with Lola around, went to order my glasses, went back at home under the rain, dead (it was far from home). Then I saw I had forgotten my cheque book at the ophtalmologist, had to run back there with the shrimpette, still under the rain. Grmmmppphhhh
But I had made everything, I was happy... till I got the answer from the editor (SIGH). He really spoiled my evening and that does not happen often!

today gonna be different :-) :-) :-) **~~*^* *
