At last, here are some pictures that I had uploaded from the Simple Plan concert in Toronto (along with Faber Drive, Cute is what we aim for and Metro Station):

The full pictures from the concert can be viewed on my photobucket or at the one at flickr. In other news, while exercising at a local community centre training club, I stumbled upon a TV commercial from the French nuclear power provider called "Areva". The commercial reminsces me of Bell's pixel corp commercial and the tune set in Areva's commercial is from a group in the 1970s or 1980s called "Lipps inc.". The song is called "Funkytown".

Here's some varations of the commercial (some in English, the other in French. Spoilers: There is one particular scene that is different some of the ones show China while the others show "Metropolitan avenue" or something like that. I highly suggest that you should review those commercials).

Tomorrow's the big night in Toronto. Simple Plan is coming to Toronto down at the Molson
Amphitheatre on August 29th, 2008. I've been waiting for months for this to happen. I've invested tens of dollars toward this concert and I hope it's the money well spent - in terms of clothing. I want to get a simple plan hoodie, t-shirt and some stuff from Faber Drive to Metro Station. As for Cute is What We Aim for, I really like them, but I'm not sure if their merchandise appeals to me...lol

I really need some much needed sleep for the concert and by the time I finish attending this concert, i'm gonna be really tired and I can't sleep at all! I really need to go to the airshow the very next day!

Anyways, I will post some highlights of my concert once everything is settled in. Until then, see you guys at the concert!!! :)

La giornata di oggi invece inizia con una super-colazione (cosi come la cena precedente) offerta dalle gentilissime suore appunto di Torvaianica e prosegue mettendo alla prova le abilità informatiche del Cicloviandante Checco: i nostri incontrano uno skipper chiamato Raul che ha bisogno di assistenza nel suo gprs della barca a vela ...e chi meglio del nostro Checco può aiutarlo??? Così per la prima volta i nostri cicloviandanti cambiano mezzo di trasporto per montare sulla barca e sistemare il problema, e lo skipper gentilissimo offre il pranzo!

I nostri partono finalmente per l'n-esima tappa e arrivano fino a Santa Severa chiedendo ospitalità ai frati (come suggerito dalle suore) e dopo una cena a base di pizzette si accampano nel giardino per riposare le membra ormai sotto sforzo da quasi un mese... cosa serberà l'indomani?

Congratulations to everyone who tested on Saturday. Everyone did a wonderful job and we had a great time! Thanks also to Linda and Frank for hosting the potluck, and for letting all of us hang out at your beautiful house.

Bis denne!

+++ Auf Laut.de gibts ein Interview mit Peter Fox zu seinem Album, lesenswert! Klick Mich! +++

La semaine passée était un peu chargée, et je n'ai pas vraiment eu le temps d'en parler, mais le weekend dernier, madame et moi remettions nos habits de mariés pour une journée photos au plat pays. Après déjà quelques reports de date, pour cause d'un été à la météo capricieuse, nous avions pris la direction de Bruges, notre ville d'amoureux pour y faire quelques photos, puis un saut à la plage de Blankenberg.

Je vous laisse découvrir les photos réalisé par Anne 'Nouille de Miel' Fontaine et prochainement un petit clip made in QuenaLove, avec les images filmées par Didier, qui testait à son tour notre HD1000.

D'ailleurs, j'ai passé mon compte FlickR en pro il y a quelques semaines, donc les galeries seront en permanence accessible !

Does anyone remember this particular line from the old Staples commercial? I sure do. As many stores and shopping malls are gearing up to deal with the massive crowd for Back to School shopping and other related things. From kids going into kindergarden to many strong adults heading to college or university, the opportunities are completely endless.

Well my summer so far has been very fun despite the weather we had faced in many years (you can view my highlights here). This Friday, August 29th, 2008, I'm going to see Simple Plan down at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto. I've been waiting for this moment to come and by the time this has taken place, my efforts have completely paid off! As I mentionned in my earlier blog posts, opening acts will include Cute is What We aim For, Metro Station and (one of my personal favourites) Faber Drive. I'm completely stoked for this!

But the problem is i'm asking, what about my fellow competitors who really like the band a lot and didn't believe on the statements that I said - especially my friends Laura M., Jenny F., Tarin S. and my other people who think that I'm such a creepy person? I had a special message to all of you people who think I am creepy: "I want to gain my market share on going to some high profile concerts such as the Warped Tour." I finally did and achieved that goal.

Anyways, if you people went to a recent Simple Plan concert as part of their tour, I hope it was fun. If you are about to go to one, good luck. You are enjoying this lifetime experience.

First off, we'll start off with Faber Drive. I watched the video about when they have no air conditioning in their van. As a result, Dave Faber did an impromptu trick by opening the doors in the middle of the road - initially for 15 km/h down the Coquihalla Highway and then into full speed. It seems dangerous at first, but they since fixed the A/C (and their doors)! Here's the video if you want to see:

Faber Drive brings the new meaning of Air Conditioning:

The second one is from Simple Plan and the video depicts their first day of their tour. The video was shot in St. John's, Newfoundland at Mile One stadium. They also sent a message to their fans about they will be coming to your town soon. Anyways, you can view the video here: http://www.simpleplan.com/2008/08/19/canadian-tour-day-one/

For those of you who are going to the Toronto leg of the tour on August 29th, 2008 at the Molson Amphitheatre, you can view the weather here. I hope it doesn't rain on that day leading up to Labour day weekend - I had to go to the airshow the next day!!!

When the news suddenly broke out, I began to buy my tickets right away. I spent around $115 (estimated) for two tickets for the particular concert. If you combine this with the ongoing Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, It's going to be a hardcore show! I saved a lot of money on planning to go to that particular concert, by selling some stuff that I don't need on eBay along with the money that was left over from the Warped Tour this year. I also contribute all of my spare change that I had saved over three years.

Anyways, the things that I will buy from the concert are t-shirts, hoodies and many other things in between. I also made a video blog about the tour, which you can view here:

I hope that the tour will be successful! If you guys bought your tickets already, enjoy the show!!! :D

Pierre also wrote a number of well-received political books around the time of the French Revolution. Pierre was the 1st deaf person ever known to write a book of any kind.

In 1779, he wrote what may be the first book published by a deaf person, in which he advocated for the use of sign language in deaf education. It was in part a rebuttal of the views of Abbé Claude-François Deschamps de Champloiseau, who had published a book arguing against the use of signs. Pierre explained, "like a Frenchman who sees his language belittled by a German who only knows a few French words, I thought I was obliged to defend my language against the false charges of this author." Pierre describes a community of deaf people using a sign language (now referred to as Old French Sign Language), many of whom would have no knowledge of spoken or written French.

The Abbe de l’Epee and his Paris school have often been credited with the invention of sign language, and deaf schools (especially residential ones) have been seen as the site of transference of sign languages from one generation to the next. Pierre's book proves that French Sign Language predates deaf schools and is truly the invention of deaf people.

Pierre also wrote a number of well-received political books around the time of the French Revolution. The time and place of his death are unknown, but he published a book as late as 1792. Some suggest he died in 1799.

de la mine pentru tine.mai jos Pierre

First of all, Maryann is the narrator of the book- well not narrator per se but the book comes about because Maryann is writing a book for Logan about the trip. Now, this winter trip to the lodge is a Stoneybrook Middle School trip, and it's fuckin MANDATORY to go! Isn't that dumb as hell? A rich family, the Georges ( well a rich couple) love for all of these brat turd kids to come to the lodge every year, and they contribute cash for this trip, as does the school, so that every child at SMS ( and other schools) can go on the trip for free. How does Logan get out of this, you ask? I guess he and his fam have planned a trip to Aruba for the same week, and it's been planned for months, so Logan had a really, really good reason he couldn't go on the trip. Well how about reasons like " I am a totally unpopular, frizzy haired girl with like one friend who will hate spending a week with lots of bitches" ( that would have been me if I had to go on a trip with my WHOLE junior high school- I may have had to commit suicide I swear!) or " Skiing sucks"- those aren't good excuses? Eh, I guess not. So yes the beginning of the book is pretty much Mary Anne describing how all of the BSC'ers are so excited for this trip, well except for Mal and Jessi who have never gone on the trip, and how some of the BSC gals have " jobs" to do while on this trip. Mary Anne is the trip historian- she has to write up this huge paper on the history of Leicester Lodge and the town- sadly, something I may have also volunteered to do. Kids usually do NOT want to the trip historian job. Jessi is the talent show coordinator ( what? not a teacher? and Jessi is in fucking SIXTH GRADE? Who trusts an 11 year old to run a talent show?) and Kristy is captain of the Winter War, which is basically two teams competing in speed skating, skiing and shit like that. BORING!!! Moving on...

So when the Baby-Sitters get to the lodge, as they are settling in, two people- a man and woman, run into the lodge covered in snow. The man immediately falls to the ground! The woman says that she and the man are the two teachers accompanying the 16 kids from Conway Cove Elementary School ( yeah two teachers- sixteen kids. Better those two than me) and their bus overturned 2 miles down the road, and she needs their help- of course! So Mr. George says he will go out there with his bus, and 2 teachers and naturally the BSC members go out there to rescue the children as well- because what's a school vacation without having to look after little munchkins? So the BSC helps to rescue these Conway Cove kids, and they even volunteer to bunk with the kids for the night while the teachers are at the hospital- turns out that Mr. Dougherty cracked his ribs, and Miss Weber has a broken arm. So the teachers are not in prime shape to be with the kids outdoors and what not. So the next morning, CLAUDIA tells the other girls ( yeah not Kristy!) that the whole BSC should volunteer to watch the children during the week so that the kids don't have to go home. Of course Kristy and the other gals agree, and yep they are going to spend a good portion of winter vacay with little rugrats. That's the BSC for you. One girl, Pinky, who injured her ankle, seems to really be a pain in the arse- the other kids don't even want to be around her. But we will hear what goes on with Miss Pinky in a bit.

So Mary Anne finds out that Ms. Halliday, the seventh grade gym teacher at SMS, will help the BSC with the kids. Mary Anne is super bummed about that because Ms. Halliday always pushed Mary Anne really hard in gym and gave her a hard time because Mary Anne is so not an athlete. Whereas Kristy was Halliday's teacher's pet. Of course- Kristy is such the future PE teacher that it's not even funny. Mary Anne is ALSO bummed because she is convinced that Logan is mackin' it with a total hottie in Aruba- yeah right, Mary Anne! Logan is more devoted to you than Sandy is to Danny in Grease, OK? Frankly, it makes us all sick. So Mary Anne is writing all of this mushy love letters to Logan while she should be working on her project. And Mary Anne officially sucks- well she did before, but she REALLY sucks ass in this book. Mary Anne does learn that rumor is that Leicester Lodge has a GHOST!! Ooooooohh.... call Ghostbusters!

Jessi volunteers to watch Pinky for a day while the others girls are doing Winter War shit or else journal writing (yes, Mal decides to be " Harriet the Spy" again and write in her journal as she spies on people- wow for a 35 year old 11 year old, Mallory, you are super immature) and Mary Anne is working on her history crap. Pinky ( her real name is Priscilla) is being a total bitch to Jessi all day and even makes Jessi get her a soda- not sure why Pinky telling Jessi to get a soda is the biggest example of her bitchiness, but it is.  So Jessi is convinced that Pinky is a racist. Where is Quint where you need him? Jessi also decides not to do any Winter War events ( other than an ice sculpture contest with Mallory) because Jessi cannot risk any injury that would ruin her dancing career. So shit Jessi can  you not ride your bike at home? Why even leave the house? But whatevs- doesn't matter to me because I despise sports.

Stacey is on the beginner trail practicing skiing, and Stacey falls in " LUV" with Pierre D'Amboise, a 13 year old French boy ( well French- American- his parents were born in France) who sounds pretty sexy for 13. Pierre and Stacey make an instant love connection. Yeah, I really don't care, and I doubt you do either. So again moving on...

Mallory is doing some spying. She sees Ms Halliday crying in the bathroom, and she is convinced it's because she has an unrequited love for the vice principal. Mal is also convinced that Curtis the cook is poisoning everyone. And Mallory is all shocked to see Stacey and Pierre kissing! Shit Stace you move QUICKLY, girl!  Mallory sucks. Dawn and Mary Anne have a big argument because Dawn has been having a shit day- she falls down on her skates and is being a general klutz and Kristy gives her attitude over it because Dawn fell twice during the skating contest, and so their team loses the skating round.  So Dawn comes into the lodge to vent to Mary Anne, and all Mary Anne can talk about is friggin' Logan. So Dawn is understandably pissed, and starts telling Mary Anne where to go. So Mary Anne yells back because again Mary Anne sucks.

So Mary Anne is asking all of these old turds about the history of Hookset Crossing ( the town the stupid lodge is in) and this to me is a big Who cares chapter. Mary Anne also finds out that Ms Halliday was crying because she misses her fiance who is a reporter for Stoneybrook News. She's never been away from him before and really misses him. So Ms Halliday and Mary Anne bond- sha la la la.

So Kristy organizes a snowman making contest for the kids.  Claudia judges the contest, and some girl named Kara wins for her snowwoman. Again, no one gives a shit.  Then the SMS kids have their ice sculpure contest. Mal and Jessi sculpt ballet shoes- stupid. Kristy, Dawn and Stacey made a giant teddy bear. But Claudia and Mr Cheney, some SMS teacher, decide that the Cheshire Cat is the best sculpure, and no BSC member made that! So Kristy and Claud argue because Kristy is convinced Claudia picked the Cheshire Cat because the two kids who made it are on Claudia's team.

Claudia is taking ski lessons to prepare for the big ski competition the next day and did you know that Claud and Kristy are the best skiiers at SMS? And this is a well known fact! Ummm one I didn't know until this book but whatevs. Claudia gets this huge crush on a French ski instructor named Guy ( say it to rhyme with Ski, as Claudia tells us to do) who is at least 25 but Claud is convinced Guy wants her bod. Ummm I THOUGHT I saw Guy on " To Catch a Predator!" ;)

Jessi conducts tryouts for the talent show. This chapter is boring. Alan Gray, Kristy's nemesis is doing some vaudeville act. And of course the Conway Cove kids are doing a skit for the show. Most of the Conway Cove kids are damn boring- it makes one long for Claire Pike, Jamie Newton and even KAREN! YIKES!

Dawn plays Monopoly with Dori Wallingford, who is apparently the Regina George of SMS ( as in uber popular) and some other kids and Dawn gets creamed, so she is all upset. Dawn then sees Pinky crying, and Pinky is crying because she is homesick. So Dawn and Pinky bond. And Dawn learns Pinky is no racist, as Jessi had thought, just sad and lonely. Again, boring. Back to Stacey and Pierre making a sexy time, already- although even that is sort of boring!

So Mary Anne and Dawn make up, and Logan calls all the way from Aruba! He best have a calling card and not be calling from the hotel- if I were Ma and Pa Bruno, I'd kick my 13 year old's ass from here to Coventry if I found out he called his stupid ass 8th grade GF on the hotel phone and spent all that cash! And Logan and Mary Anne say  " I Love You" and I gag.

Mal is all nervous because the lodge is going to have an all school dance the last night she is there and she is not used to boys or dancing ( doesn't Mal EVER go to SMS dances? Loser). And then it's the night of hot cocoa and ghost stories ( looking back, the teachers told some ghost stories that weren't very kid friendly) and then it's the talent show!! Some boy dressed in drag and did the I Love Lucy Vitameatavegamin skit- you know that's how I learned about that ep of I Love Lucy? And everyone loved the Conway Cove skit, naturally. And the dance goes just fine- Stacey and Pierre are all cozy and ga ga over each other, Mal does dance with a boy, and Kristy ends up dancing with some kid named Jay- Jay is a kid that Kristy forced to be a cross country ski team when he had never been cross country skiing, and he twisted his ankle really badly but obviously Jay is either really forgiving or he's a wuss. And Jessi dances with an SMS 7th grader you never hear from again!!!! And- Claud learns that Guy is married with 2 kids- so no Claud he didn't want your ass! But Guy still says that Claud is his prize student and Claudia is all very excite over that.

And with that dance, the trip is over- THANK GOD! And then Mary Anne describes how Pinky sends Jessi a postcard, and Pierre sends Stacey a postcard  and writes " I Love You" on it- wow, Pierre is another Logan- and Guy sends Claud a stupid postcard about how his daughter is great on skis. Who cares, Guy?

You  know, in reading this I realize these teachers at SMS and Conway Cove could easily be my age ( 30- not ashamed of it) if not even younger!! WOW is all I can say to that! And in closing, yeah this super special sucked- and I LOVED it when I was 13!! WHY?????

J'ai aussi acheté le choker qui me plaisait. C'est un choker de velours noirs avec une camée bordée d'argent. Je devrai le faire raccourcir car il est trop grand pour'' mon cou de cygne fait pour étrangler''. Ce ne doit pas être si difficile, je dois juste trouver quelqu'un qui peut m'aider.

Finissant plus tôt que prévu au boulot, je suis allé à la recherche du café Le temporel pour dire bonjour à Francis.... Finalement, je l'ai attendu je ne sais pas combien de temps (45 min, une heure?) en m'occupant en appelant Pierre du café Klimt, qui m'a donné sa permission d'aller à ''l'illustre Temporel'' qu'il connaissait bien, en gribouillant, en écrivant un peu, en envoyant des sms...
J'ai apprécié pouvoir discuter avec Pierre simplement, comme ça, tout bonnement, au téléphone. Il fait partie des gens que j'apprécie énormément. Et pour ma peine, il m'offrira un chocolat quand j'irai le voir ! Je lui enverrai plein de cartes postale pour qu'il les ajoute à sa décoration.

Selon Pierre, on trouve souvent que le Café Klimt et Le Temporel se ressemblent. Trouvez-vous ?

Qu'avons-nous fait autre que de me faire attendre ? On est passé chez lui pour qu'il se douche et se change, puis nous sommes allés marcher jusqu'au site des Festivités. Nous n'avons pu y accéder, refusant de payer 10 $ par personne l'entrée quand, une fois cela fait, on va dépenser pour des dégustations. Je n'avais pas les moyens de dépenser 40 $ là-bas. Je suis déçue mais on fait avec. J'ai très peu pris de photos, en fait... Pourtant, les costumes étaient souvent vraiment impressionnant ! Particulièrement les chasseurs (dont je n'ai pas de photos) !

Nous avons rencontré une célébrité mondiale !
Le reconnaissez-vous ?

Francis n'a pas l'air photogénique... Ahah, je vous promets qu'il est mieux irl !

Après, nous sommes allés souper au Tokyo. Gentiment, il m'a offert le repas. Francis a été attentionné et vraiment gentil en plus d'être d'une compagnie particulièrement agréable. Si je l'ai laissé me témoigner des marques d'affection, au moment de se quitter, j'ai été sincère. Je ne suis pas prête à me relancer tout de suite dans un couple. Ça m'a fait mal au coeur mais peut-on sortir avec quelqu'un quand on pleure la perte d'un autre ? Je pense qu'il l'a compris et bien pris. Je verrai bien, je dois aller manger avec lui aujourd'hui ou demain les brownies que nous avons achetés.

Oh, point idiot mais qui l'avantage : il a une bibliothèque ÉNOOOOOOOOORME. En vérité, trois bibliothèques et des livres au sol auxquels j'ai accès comme je veux : on y retrouve des livres de droit, de philosophie, d'histoire, de psychologie, de la poésie, des romans (Kundera, Goethe, Orwell, Balzac, Chateaubriand, Hugo et Camus sont les premiers noms que j'ai capté, vous voyez le genre : remplis de classiques, de livres dont nous avons parlés en arts et lettres !)... Que je suis heureuse ! :D

Sous une pluie déchaînée, je me prépare à aller travailler un gros dix heures aujourd'hui. Je dormirais tellement à la place. Je n'ai pas vraiment le choix, semble-t-il. Donc... Bonne journée à tous !

The most important attractions that will sure interest me is the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto and Simple Plan's upcoming tour. In Vancouver meanwhile, the Pacific National Exhibition aka the PNE is taking place at the same time as the CNE in Toronto. There are a lot of things to see and do to finish off the summer holidays.

Back to my concert plan right now and I have been planning for this since the announcement came out back in May. I'm starting to save money for the concert and I will use the money to spend on some merchandise at the concert - from t-shirts, hoodies - the list goes on and on and on....

Anyways, I'm going to consider posting a video of my own review of the concert that I will attend on August 29th. I hope you guys will find that very interesting.

Back to the CNE now and my favourite attractions are the food building, shopping areas, the parade and most importantly - the Canadian International Airshow. The CF-18 hornet and the Snowbirds flying crew are my hardcore favourites.

To finish off this blog for today, I'm leaving you a song lyric by a band called Hedley. The song is called "Dear Blank".

No I don't owe you anything
To hell with "I'm sorry" bombs away
No I don't owe you anything
You're like a bullet to my
Brain I'm numb
Can't kill my fun
If you're good and done
Then thank you just the same
And I don't owe you anything

Enjoy you summer holidays until they last....:)

"I can't do it" never yet accomplished anything; "I will try" has performed wonders.
George P. Burnham

This documentary will coincide with Simple Plan's upcoming tour which will be in full force on August 19th, 2008 and conclude on September 13th, 2008.
