reading and listening

I have 2 new things in my cultural life at the moment: a new music album and a new book….

1-  I am listening to Elbow – The Seldom seen kid. I posted one of their song a while ago called Audience with the pope. I love their CD and I want to discover their others. It is just slow pop music with hot voices. Really peaceful. Just try.

 

2- It is the first time I read in French since I am in London i.e. april 2006! And I read. My book shelves are full and I don’t know where to store my new ones. My parents talked to me so much about this book that I had to read it but unfortunately they have not all been translated from Swedish to English I believe. the write is Stieg Larsson and the first novel is ‘Les hommes qui n’aiment pas les femmes‘ – the english one is called ‘the girl with the dragon tatoo’. This is the first of a trilogy called Millenium.  In England, the 2nd will be published in Jan 09 and the 3rd in Jan 10!!! I can’t wait. They are all already out in France. So I read in French. I will tell you once I finished the first book.

booookS

Song of the day: Rule the world by Take That – since their come back, they are playing this song everywhere

I am currently reading Orpheus Rising – Love, Rockets & a bloody great fish by Colin Bateman. That is an intresting book. Well written but a bit slow. Surprising from the being. It won’t be my favourite but will be part of my discovery. Please give me some idea about what to read!!!!!

BTW, I go to Paris this week end. I had a free ticket from last year because I had more than an 1hrs delay! 🙂

When flying to Milan tomorrow…

I want them to do like in the add for C****** (you will see at the end because that have nothing to do with the theme of the ad) 😛

I love it and the song is great.

music and movie

Good gig, good crowd, good atmosphere, I am happy to have gone to this concert. Horace Andy rocks!

Now because I have this in my head and I love it, I give you this song from another great singer: Tina!! for a great guy: James the beau gosse! 🙂 I really need to see the 2 last movies though! 😛

Song of the day: Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

As you may be aware by now I love reading… especially reading while riding the train on my way to work. I have just finished another book (I read a few during my holidays onwards but can’t list them all). It is from one of my favorite author Michael Connelly and it’s called The Overlook.

On another matter, I had my sister over for the long week end including remembrance day (which for your information isn’t a bank holidays here but only 2 minutes of silence in the country…). It was pissing rain, it cold and windy but we had a great time. I am really happy she came visit me. She wil be always welcome, as welcome as you by the way! Please visit me more often! 😛

Lisa, I’ll see you for Xmas! 😉 Thanks again for your visit!

LOOOL

My friends showed me this video on YouTube: 70m viewers. If you speak English, you’re going to be dead laughing on the floor. It is Ahmed the dead terrorist… and silence or I’ll kill you! AHAHAHAHAH! 😀

going to work

Song of the day: Out of the Ghetto from Isaac Hayes – he is dead but he was such a great singer!

I finished my book beginning of this week (Emporium by Robert Harris) and I have started Run by Jeff Abbott. I have just discovered that it is called collision in the US… Isn’t that weird??? Both countries speak the same language but the title of the book is different… :-\

Anyway, this book seems really good but I can only read on my way to work in the train these days. I am so busy at work and I am on the early shift this week that is 7 to 17 for me… 😦 but in less than 1 month I will be on holidays! YAY!!! 😛

more

just want to add that we had wine indeed with our meal (a lovely Cote de Beaune well advised by Etienne) and it was so nice a day that we ate outside. I was with my parents, my sister and her boyfriend. I was really happy to see you all! 🙂 I love you!

PS: Chinese man is really good music, I like it. 😛

and another one

Song of the day: Maria by Blondie 🙂

During my holiday, I read. My housemate can’t stay by the pool and read but I can. My mother is a book seller for christ’s sake! So the result of my week in Greece is: 2 books read! I finished Trouble by Jesse Kellerman and almost finished The color of law by Mark Gimenez. This week I finished the latter and started Imperium by Robert Harris. hehe! 😛 The first one is really easy to ready but you grip it till the end. The second is a well written book about lawyer and I start the last so I will tell you later. I only know that it is an historic fiction and that seems awesome.

come, come!

Song of the day: Le bruit et l’odeur by Zebda

My friend Pierre is now here in London. He came to work in one of Joel Robuchon’s restaurant called l’atelier. You can find details about these on this website. Be careful, you will want to go as soon as you will look at the menu.

I hope more of my friends will come here. Friends of ours were here for one of our friends’ stag party and it was awesome to see them. Come here my friends, I miss you! 🙂
