They want to shut me down ...
Today, my manager at EDF (monopolistic French electricity company) announced to my colleagues and me that we were on the top 100 of the downloaders list for the whole company (which many thousands). I did not even download much and all my downloading was because of boredom. How expensive is bandwidth now ??
Anyway, it will freeze my envy to go online and look up for interesting stuff. I will post simple stuff in this blog like "Today the weather sucks" or "I feel sick, I need an advil".
Well ... I think that may be for the best....
Have a good week end.

Squash-O-rama
Tonight, I am going to play Squash for the first time since last year. I bought a new racket at Decathlon and I am looking forward to this nice moment.
I just learned that the Notary postponed the final signature for my apartment (because he sucks and can't get all the documents in time). I just hate the way he and his assistant behave with me like "we have more urgent business", and I decided that tonight I will hit the squash ball thinking that it's my notary 's head. Nothing better that expressing my anger through sport ....

What I would do for an Ipod
Some people may consider me as a "boy with toy" and they would be right as I really appreciate everything that has a On/Off button. I've been fascinated by the Apple Ipod for quite some time now for reasons that have more to do with trendy style crap but I really think I'll get one someday.
Here is an add from craigsList where someone describe what he is ready to do to get an Ipod (Beware , X rated).

 
Caroline G. is wonderful
It just had to be said.

New York Times favorite sections
Everyday, I read the NYtimes online because I consider it the best newspaper in the world (sorry "Le Monde"). I am not really interested in International or US National Politics but I like to read all the extra sections. Someone could explain me why I like to articles on how people renovated their house in Brooklyn ?? ...
I also particularly enjoy reading the "Weddings & Celebrations" section. This reflects my "fleur bleue"/feminine side.... Sometimes you can read amazing stories in this section like this one . Prepare tissues .....

 
Natacha is still blond
I can proudly say that I learned a lot by reading comic books as a kid (or BD as we call them here). I also learned English by reading American super heroes comic books (which is why I often speak with Bing Bam and Boom). I also had my first fantasy on a comic book character from belgium called Natacha. Natacha is a air stewardess ("hotesse de l'air") and she has many kid friendly adventures. Some could find strange to be attracted to a non-flesh character but nobody could argue that Roger rabbit's wife is hot. In the case of Natacha, What attracted me was that she was really kind and cute.
Since I came back to Paris, I started collecting comic books again (I stopped buying to many DVD ;) ). Last week, in a cool comic book shop in Saint-Germain, I found the new episodes of Natacha !! I can't even tell you how happy I was. It was like rediscovering an old girl friend for whom you still had feelings. It made my day. Here is a Natacha fan web site where you can see that she was not only my fantasy.
