A week ago I was treated to a beautiful Sunday, a rare occurance here. So I decided to avoid lazing around in my pyjamas and go on an exploration of the city. Minimal heels donned on, a little scarf and here I am walking with determination toward the great big “Jardin des plantes” (in English: [...]

Lately I have been obsessed with the N64. If you are thinking there is absolutely no reason to be obsessed with a video game system that has lower capacities than your iPhone apps…you are probably right. I think that it’s just a symbol of my fading youth. By fading youth, I refer to a time when [...]

Today i made pot pies. This in and of itself is nothing surprising. If I was American it would be on the verge of mundane. But for me, the motivation, other than taking advantage of the dignified remains of a whole chicken was to be able to make something I’d heard about on TV. Youtube’s [...]

Now, separately these interest turn out to be Distorted View for trivialities, an inane knowledge of arcane spices for food and a thesis in process on Wikitravel for the travelling [...]

I never watched Star Wars, it’s a lifestyle choice. I even sat through a four hour bus ride ignoring the multiple screens playing it with my then-boyfriend urging me to watch it. My future husband did manage to make me watch the Family Guy episode recounting Star Wars. So, the main thing I retained about [...]

Ca y est! C’est fini. J’ai tout ramené dans mon nouvel appartement. La machine à laver incluse! Par contre…les garçons ont loué un très gros camion mais pas de diable pour porter les machines.
