i was born on my dad’s 54th birthday. coincidentally, it was also the same day as my youngest older sister’s best friend’s birthday who lived across the street. So, my birthdays were always shared birthdays. this was not a bad thing, in fact i liked sharing my birthday. but none of them really stand out. now that my…

this is my dream... a 2CV with an electric conversion. :D

when selling a car in france, often it comes with the expression “dans son jus” or literally “in its juice”, that is to say “as is”. going by this gas would seem to be the correct choice for blood with oil as the sauce added. :D

i saw the Cogolin pompiers 2CV, and for a moment i thought you were in my neck of the woods. i live in the next village over from cogolin. but no, it is just the car. i do think that car is cool as hell and my dream is to buy a 2CV, paint it black and put a jolly roger on the hood. just because i am “l’américain” in…

oh my god! my ex-girlfriend’s father told her the same thing. she was 18 when i finally had to convince her that they did not exist. :)

i ended my embargo of game playing since city of heroes became available. it was my first MMO, though i had lost interest in the final years. but it being available for free has drawn me back. i recreated my main, Ridiculous Girl, but changed her from a fire/fire blaster to a fire/kin controller namely because she was…

being on a gaming hiatus and restricting my internet use, i have been reading a ton of books. mostly ones that i have already read at least twice before. “johnathan strange and mr norrell,” the “magicians” trilogy, so far. i decided to go back and read the “illuminatus!” trilogy and i decided to dig up my copy of the…

it is all my old COH supergroup on facebook is talking about at this time. if i was not on a gaming holiday i would be tempted to give it a try. :)

i just felt like i neded to start reading books again. not only for pure enjoyment, but also for learning purposes. games had become to much of a distraction rather than a fun diversion. so i quit cold turkey. i am not swearing it off forever and ever. just until it seems like it will be fun again and taking away from…

it was not a planned thing, but i ended up just deleting my favorites so i did not have the temptation. i can get them back easily, so that is not a worry. i quit smoking a while ago because i stopped enjoying the habit. not quite the same, because i will go back to gaming when i feel like it will be fun again. but it…

i am still in the midst of a several month no-game boycott. i had been playing too much and i was not enjoying it. so i quit for a while. on top of that, after moving to our new house, we did not have internet for more than two weeks! it was great! my stress levels went way down and i read more books in those 2 weeks…

man, it has been ages since AV club has done a primer guide! i loved when these came out more often.

i was a good kid, genrally. normal teenager, but never getting into serious trouble. that said, i was born a saggitarius, and saggitarians are born restless wanderers.

in french you can do an entire, but short conversation as...

yes! thank you for that link! :D

i would love to recreate one of these... :D

or better yet, basic universal income...
