I love this commercial for Samsung Pixon

another

This week end I bought a new TV show. I decided to buy Scrubs, because here, you can watch it on E4, More4, E4+1 every day but it is never in the correct order and you can end up seeing the same episode all the week. I bought season 1 and will tell you if it is as good as it seems to be!

Song of the day: Paper Bag by Fiona Apple

Yesterday I went to the cinema with my housemate and we saw The Happening by M. Night Shyamalan. Just one advise, don’t pay to see this movie, especially in London as it is so expensive – £9! It doesn’t worth it.

et pendant ce temps là…

Must see

You have to watch this TV show. I LOVE it. This a great British humor show called The I.T. Crowd. A woman joins a company and is dumped ‘manager’ of the IT Support. That is great. Watch till the end because that is great fun. I have both season and that is hilarious. In this one, you can see Jen, her boss and the 2 guys from the IT department. Enjoy.

Good news or bad news

Song of the day: Little boxes by Malvina Reynolds – original opening theme of the TV serie called Weeds broadcasted by Showtime in the US and Canal+ in France I believe (here I don’t know I look onto internet ). This show is really really good.They already made 3 seasons. Watch at least the 1st one once! Check it out here.

Do you know ASDA? ASDA is one of the various grocery stores in England among others like Waitrose, Tesco, Morrison’s, Sainsbury, Lidl and Aldi. It is affiliated to the US giant Wal*Mart. All their ads are about how cheap they are. That is where I shop online as there is one in my neighborhood and it is opened 24/7… like in the US! Now, they are looking for a new representative to replace Rooney’s wife. Guess who they are thinking of…??? Carla Bruni!!! Yes, I am not lying to you and you can find the proof here and here with more insights. Ils sont fous ces anglais!

In the meantime in Germany….
a publisher will sell the 1st paper copy of Wikipedia! You can find more information here in Le Monde. And that is where I learn that German is the 2nd language after English into Wikis!! Good job! Wikipedia (including Wikimedia, wikictionary, wikiquote,…) is really a good website. This where I always go first when I look for some details about a city, a country I want to visit, a word (Wikictionary), a concept, a tv serie,… Anything!!!

tv show

Have you ever watched nip/tuck? I just give you the opening. This show worth it. It is about the life of 2 plastic surgeons in Miami. One loves women too much and one has a wife but is getting as mad as the other along the show. It is funny, not for blond, sometimes harsh, deep, cool. I am watching the 1st season and it is promising.




blablabla

song of the day: Trouble by Coldplay

Yesterday’s play was funny and entertaining. Really girly though! The party after was a bit weird. We didn’t know the people who were there. They all worked with our friend, … but not with us! It is only at the end that we met them when everybody was either tipsy or drunk. We finished the party drinking champagne and dancing on anything!

Today was more relaxing. After waking up at 12:00, we went to La gazette, a french restaurant near our place in Clapham Junction/Battersea and we had the best hot chocolate I have ever had (served in a pint) and a croque monsieur. It was cool. Then, we went to the cinema see the new Asterix aux jeux olympiques. Despite the famous actors, the film wasn’t as good as the 2nd one. I think you can wait the DVD…

Balkan theme

song of the day: Suzy Q by Creedance Clearwater Revival (another of my favorite band: the original!!!)

Yesterday night, we watched ‘La vie est un miracle’ (Life is a miracle) by Emir Kusturica. Have you seen it? I love Kusturica’s movies. I have got this one in DVD but I definitely need to buy ‘Chat noir, Chat blanc’ (black cat, white cat). That’s one of my favorite movies. The characters just do whatever they want. It is so cheerful, frenzied, joyful, dancing that you have the lost smile on your face from beginning to end. You really need to see Kusturica’s films if you haven’t yet. You won’t be disappointed.

The musics are also great and make you feel like dancing. They are all played by Emir Kusturica’s band called Emir Kusturica and the No Smoking Orchestra. Sometimes, he plays with Goran Bregovic who signed the music of one of his first movie (Arizona Dream) with Iggy Pop (this record is really good). I have seen a live session of one of his concert on TV and this guy is crazy. He plays violin like Ronaldo plays his ball! That is really entertaining to watch.
