The Last Four Things I Bought

What did you buy today? I’m curi­ous to find out! In this meme, you have to list four things you bought dur­ing a day.

This was Sat­ur­day for me and my wallet.

Dona Nobis Pacem

Why do we fight today ? Because they attacked us first. Civil war. Bio­log­i­cal war. Because we want to pro­tect our val­ues. Holy war and war gods. Because they have the bomb and they’re not sup­posed to. Pre­ven­tive war, atomic war. Because they tor­ture. War crimes. Because we have weapons to sell. Eco­nomic war. War of attri­tion. Phony war. War games.

Four Little Things

Indeed, I have actu­ally never really moved in Canada. Well, at least not “move” in the real sense of the word. In 2002, I showed up with no more than a back­pack — full of sum­mer clothes since we were com­ing back from South Amer­ica. I did go to France many times since then but I didn’t have much to bring back any­way. My clothes weren’t really Canadian-winter proofed, my books were too heavy and well, we didn’t have a CD play­ers so no point in tak­ing my music col­lec­tion (although I did copy it on my laptop).

Seven Things About Myself

One tag is easy enough to post­pone: thank the blog­ger and “for­get” (**hey, I’m kid­ding, don’t un-suscribe!**). But how do you do when you’re cor­nered by both France and Canada?

Seven (Canadian Winter) Facts

Cana­di­ans love to brag about how cold it is, and how win­ters are get­ting warmer, and how they sur­vived what­ever storm ten years ago, and how they went to school even though there were over two meters of the white stuff (white stuff = snow for us — not cocaine).

Can I See Your Bag, Please?

See, to me, there are two kind of women: women who like shoes, and women who like bags. And since I wear size 9 shoes (40 for Euro­pean read­ers) — but I must also say that I’m 1.75 meter ! — I rarely get the shoes I really want. So I became a bag person.

Have You Eaten Yet?

The idea is to work your way through the eight phases of the din­ner party, answer­ing all of the ques­tions on the way — being as hon­est and cre­ative as you wish. Once your home­work has been com­pleted, please nom­i­nate any num­ber of blog­gers to host their very own “vir­tual” din­ner party.
