Vacation!

I'll be spending the next 10 days in Provence with my boyfriend! After these last 4 weeks of internship, working and writing papers for uni, I really need it!

I can already smell the lavender fields...

My new toy!!

I've discovered something new that I reaaaaaaaaaally love! It's like your own little portable internet forum / comment section - without the censorship of the website you're commenting on. You just have to install it, and you can comment on any given website - news articles, company websites, you name it! Here it is, so check it out and have fun "frosping"!

Freedom of Speech

aaaaaaaaah

I stayed home today, slept a lot and am already feeling a bit better. I've had a lot of stress lately, I've been working in school for the past three weeks. This internship is a part of my studies, and it's absolutely wonderful and absolutely exhausting...

Sometimes my body shuts down when I get stressed out... Good to know!

Blehhhh

I feel like my body is breaking down. The whole week I've been feeling week, having to lie down, hot flashes, blurry vision.

This morning I woke up with swollen lymph nodes and a sore throat...

I'm sick.

Wednesday evening

After a looong day of hard work and coming home somewhat late, there's nothing more relaxing than Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy - aaaaaaaaaaah, wonderful. There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home...

Even more Silverchair

More Silverchair

Silverchair



I'm a groupie of one single band in the whole world, and that would be Silverchair, the australian alternative band.



I flew to Toronto to see their concert in Edgefest, in 1997, when I was 15, cause they cancelled their date for Montreal...



This song, Shade, was the first song I ever heard from them. I still remember their first concert in Montreal, I waited 8 hours in line and was 1st row in the pit...

It's crazy how I now realize they were so young, and so was I (13 or 14... it was 1995 or 1996)...

Pouki-Baby!!!















It's crazy to think how such a small animal is able to bring so much joy to my life... I'm really happy I went through with it and got her.

I always have stupid nicknames for my pets, but I can't help it!

When I was younger, I would call my dog (Elvisse) Elvipou, Babypou, Tichien (Lildog)

I would call my cat (Pantoufle) Minou, Namou, Namouchat

And now I can't refrain from calling Pouki-Helmut Cocotte and Toute Petite...

Oh well... As long as I don't do that to my kids later...

Yay!

Friends of mine came over on Monday night to "celebrate" the arrival of Pouki-Helmutte. We christened her with sparkling wine and Julius, Pouki's Godfather, had even baked a cake with her initials on it!!

You can see pictures and the christening video on Julius' blog

Chez Nous



Daniel Boucher is a "chansonnier" from Québec. I really like this song, which is about Québec and the québécois spirit. Enjoy, and try to understand the general mood which the song has, even if you don't get what he's singing...

I'm a Hamster Mama!!



Pouki-Helmut is here!!

I've had her since Friday. Yes, it's a girl, and I'm thinking about calling her only Pouki, but at the same time, my dog was also a girl and her name was Elvisse, so it would be in line with the family tradition...

She is the cutest little thing I've ever set eyes on, it was really love at first sight. She already climbs into my hand as soon as I open her cage. I built a playground for her out of carboard boxes and toilet paper rolls. I'm sorry, I know for most of you this sounds pretty crazy, but I'm really in love with my pet, so please have patience and put up with the hamster pics that will surely come inthe next days...

She's 5 weeks old, my bf loves her, even my mom, who hasn't too much experience with rodents saw this pic and told me to "give her a kiss from grandma"...

Aww!!!

Isn't she cute? Tomorrow I'm going to buy her a new wheel (the one I had doesn't work properly) and we can do our exercise together...

Hehehe
