Under the big oak tree…

It was a bright sunny day… A day like any other, but it was the day she had chosen… She had awaken early, before the sun had begun to rise on the horizon. She had taken a light meal in the breakfast nook, and drawn herself a hot bath, filling the apartment’s air with a…… Continue reading Under the big oak tree…

Do you remember?

Do you remember our walk on the beach? No, I don’t… Of course, you remember… You had begged for me to take you there, although I had promised to already. You’ve been such a child about it. “Take me there, why won’t you? If you don’t take me there, I won’t let anybody else take…… Continue reading Do you remember?

I’ve been Dragplused… ?!?

  This will be short, but I just had to post it in case someone fell on this message and could help me figure out what just happened. It seems that one of my posts has been re-blogged on this website called Dragplus. The concept of Dragplus is rather blurry to me, but I am…… Continue reading I’ve been Dragplused… ?!?

Pulling the plug…

Staring at the plug once again… I’ve been there before. I don’t really want to. I really don’t want to… I have to, though. Face to face with the fridge, there is no turning back this time! Well, I do have to return behind it to pull the plug and call it a go. Alright,…… Continue reading Pulling the plug…

My couch collection…

CouchSurfing… I’ve talked about it in the past, but I thought I’d be more technical this time. Less fiction, more reality. Because it is becoming very real with the days rolling by. So, what is CouchSurfing? It is an impressive network of people all around the globe, either hosting people coming to their town, or…… Continue reading My couch collection…

The importance of commas…

Un vêtement sur deux n’est pas vendu au Canada. Title of a big enquiry that was held in Canada lately. Well, big, there are worst things to worry about, but still… So, in English; “One piece of clothing out of two, isn’t sold in Canada”. I heard that on tv, and thought to myself that…… Continue reading The importance of commas…

What did your father do?

For a living, that is. I froze… What job was my dad doing when I was a child? He could have been a doctor, a singer… He could have driven big trucks, leaving for weeks at a time, being a truck driver. He could have been a taxi driver, or played in “Taxi driver”, then…… Continue reading What did your father do?

Too good to be fiction? (part 2)

The Big Apple… I never had an appeal for big cities. Big cities are loud, crowded and dirty… I probably thought that because I had always lived in peaceful little places. New York was far from a peaceful little place. It was big. American Big. As soon as we entered Manhattan’s core, I felt like…… Continue reading Too good to be fiction? (part 2)

Too good to be fiction?

Do you remember our roadtrip in 2001? The one that we arranged when I found the supposedly exact address for Amytiville’s famous haunted house. Arranged being a big word… If my memory is good, the conversation resembled this; Hey, I found the Amityville house’s address! Really?? We should go… We should, indeed! How about next…… Continue reading Too good to be fiction?

Imperial or Metric?

Discovering other cultures forces you to look at your own people, and compare… And when I compare Québec to the rest of the world, it seems we are very confused and/or confusing people… First, we are the (almost) only people speaking French in all North America. Of course there are other French speakers around, but…… Continue reading Imperial or Metric?
