I was invited (well, not personally, but still…) to join the Fandango’s Friday Flashback! Fandango scrolls back, every Friday, and gives a second chance to a post he had published on the same date, years before. I thought it was a great way to remember some of the stuff I did a while back, and I…… Continue reading Delete? (Late April 29th FFF)
I have trusting issues, when it comes to The Internets. I wish I could blindly believe all the cool stuff I see online, but unfortunately, with all the editing and staging going on, I now feel safer taking for granted that anything that’s looking too good to be true, probably isn’t. As a matter of…… Continue reading Sorry for doubting you, dear Internets…
Last week, I came across a documentary about a rather dark episode of Montréal’s history. In the fifties and the sixties, hundreds of patient of the Allan Memorial Institute (above picture) were used as guinea pigs for extensive experimental researches. Dr Ewen Cameron was known to be the best Canadian psychiatrist back then, and he…… Continue reading Dark times…
Warning: This post contains plain-looking pictures, I appologize in advance. Yesterday, Chéri reminded me of the kilogram of green grapes we had sitting in the fridge. We had ordered them a while ago, and although they hadn’t gone bad, they weren’t sexy enough to eat as is anymore. I had to find something to…… Continue reading Pump up the jam…

Of course, my gardening is a bit limited due to the lack of space, but I know that I just have to be creative to make the most out it. I have…… Continue reading Green thumb…
A few days back, Biff Sock Pow pointed out that M&Ms were ploting against him, putting less of his favorite candies (Oranges and greens) in every package, while stuffing them with his least favorite (he really doesn’t like the brown ones). Being the good cyber little sister I am (or at least trying to be) ,…… Continue reading Do the math…
Never boils! Everyone knows that! Or does it? Of course it will boil eventually, but I wondered if there was any chance that it would take more time to get water to boil if I watched it? Useless, absurd and stupid? Count me in! I thought about putting two pots on the stove at the…… Continue reading A watched pot…
Gather around, Lovelies, because I am going to do something very unusual today…. I am going to be serious! (ok, close your mouth… I’m not that shallow) Our brains are weird little things (ok, mine might be a little weirder than average, but that’s not the point… I am supposed to be serious,…… Continue reading Be careful…
All you want. It is free. I deserve the eye rolling! I already warned you Lovelies that I sometimes (read “often”) have weird ideas. The cat-crazy lady (my friend, co-worker and neighbour) now knows just by the look on my face, when I get one of my odd thoughts. I am considering buying a…… Continue reading You can judge me…
