Mornings

September 29, 2010 – 11:11 am | 17 Comments

Maybe I’m sub­con­sciously try­ing to fit in: Ottawa is a morn­ing city. While in France, noth­ing was open before 10 am, in Ottawa you can have break­fast at 5 am, an hour-long yoga les­son at 6 am and be at work by 7 am. Freaky. Peo­ple love being up early in that city, and by early I mean long before the sun rises.

(5+5) Things About Me

May 4, 2009 – 10:45 pm | 15 Comments

The goal was to “take 10 pho­tographs that rep­re­sent you / things about you / your per­son­al­ity / likes / dis­likes… I think ya catch my drift. Against each one, you need to write a com­ment to explain what is says about you.”

Happiness

One of the thing that usu­ally bring me hap­pi­ness is music. As far as I can remem­ber, I have always liked it. I was lucky to have been raised in a fam­ily where Pink Floyd lines were quoted over diner and where music would be played all day.
