No, I’m not talking about that place in France. I’m talking about the song by Joe Dassin from the soundtrack of Wes Anderson’s latest offering, The Darjeeling Limited that we saw this past weekend. It’s the catchiest French song I know after Frère Jacques and it’s been stuck in my head all day. Aux Champs-Elysées,…… Continue reading Aux Champs-Elysées!

Isn’t it ironic now that I have a boatload of film to burn, I don’t feel like shooting film at all? I do keep getting tempted to pick up one of my TLR cameras, but I guess the temptation is not really that great because I never actually did. In addition to the boatload of…… Continue reading I’m a Film Hoarder

I’m so in love with my avocado tree, which is not quite a tree yet since it’s only about 8 cm tall, but it’s thriving to be a tree. It’s growing about half a centimeter a day.

Do you see the dancer spinning clockwise or anti-clockwise? I see clockwise, but I can make it look like she’s spinning anti-clockwise without too much effort. Right brain dominant here. You? I’m not going to participate in NaBloPoMo this month but I’m going to try to post at least a link a day here from…… Continue reading Right Brainer or Left Brainer?

If I had to go trick or treating tonight, I’d go as one of these (click the image to see it bigger). Make yourself look creepy at Find Your Future You! There’s really no options at this site to make you look anything but creepy. I know this is not much of an update, but…… Continue reading Happy Hallowe’en!

I’ve been putting off writing about the trip for so long that I’ve actually forgotten some of the things I found interesting. I’d better write the ones I haven’t yet forgotten now before the trip becomes just a distant memory. BC Lookouts. For some reasons in British Columbia, they put up lookouts at all the…… Continue reading Travel Stories from Western Canada
