November, finally!
I know November is not the favorite month of the majority. We see pharmacies cover their shelves with Christmas decorations and say "I think the year has gone so fast and it's too early to think about Christmas." Each year, we wonder who has time and organizational skills needed to start preparing for Christmas in early November. So it's not because I started thinking about my recipe for turkey stuffing that I am glad that October is over.
Why I say the opposite of Dede Fortin shouting to anyone who would listen: "Out November"?
Because October was a little too intense for my taste. Because I have not had time to breathe during the last 3 weeks. Because November is looming as a month rather quiet side commitments. Not too many things planned yet, just my little normal life. And I need this normality, to rest a little, to get back on my feet.
I think November is undervalued, as I believe that July is over-rated. In July everyone is supposed to be happy. We must enjoy the sun on our terrace: no time to doubt the meaning of our existence. It should drink sangria on a terrace, surrounded by people who tan know how to enjoy life. In general, I do not fall out this challenge and I'm pretty miserable during heat waves in July when he does finally said fine. I have written here, I think.
dint of trying to convince us at once statistics on suicide rates that increase, we come to convince us that November should be gray. And if, instead, in November became the new September (like 30 years is the new 40?). I therefore propose to make a second fall. Start anew, with resolutions novembresques: read more, start yoga, walking outside while it is not less than 40, followed assiduously 30 Rock, do more soups, breathe before the rush of the late session. Time is what I did. And November can be the most beautiful of months, if I decide.

The Groop I'm
Monday evening, I had the chance to see Coldplay's show. The Thursday before, my sister had told me he Kine remained miraculously tickets. She did all the steps and now, without having lined up for hours, I was fortunate to have a good ticket to go hear this group is, in my opinion, the U2 of the 21st century. I will not here us a review of the show. All I can say is that it has exceeded my expectations. Chris Martin was drôle et beau comme un Dieu. Le groupe a interprété avec générosité et énergie toutes ses meilleures chansons. La foule était là, heureuse et enthousiasme. Une vraie belle soirée.

Le groupe a interprété avec générosité et énergie toutes ses meilleures chansons. La foule était là, heureuse et enthousiasme. Une vraie belle soirée. J'ai toujours aimé assisté à des shows. Je me rappelle avec bonheur mon "baptême du spectacle rock". J'avais 14 ans et mon amie Wendy m'avait invitée à aller voir Ronnie James Dio, l'ancien chanteur du groupe Black Sabath. Je ne le connaissais même pas. Ce qui me motivait? La première partie était assurée par les fameux Twisted Sisters, qui trônaient au top des palmarès avec leur seul succès "Whe're not gonna take it anymoooooooore". I remember all sorts of things this evening: the guys who smoked their joint close to home, leather coats, high heels, hair-filled Spray Net, the 80 condensed in a few hours. We were at the Verdun Auditorium and now I know there must be several members of criminal gangs in the audience. I did not know at this time. I just knew I had discovered a universe, that of the rock show.
was funny to see how the audience for Coldplay on Monday night was different from that of Twisted Sisters ago twenty years. Before me, there were 2 pre-teens amused over to take pictures only listen to "The Scientist". Their ticket was worth at least $ 100 and they do not even seem to enjoy it. Their mothers, they, did not stop to fix, swooning, the loveable pal Gwyneth Paltrow. There were all sorts of people, but nobody seemed out of a hideout of the Hells. Young, yes, but several ladies and gents, dressed in a release. I thought I would feel like a young aunt surrounded by delirious. I was really far from being the oldest.
When I go to a show, I feel very often exactly the same way. J'aime voir l'artiste de loin, mais je voudrais aussi m'en approcher. Travailler pour le Rolling Stone et interviewer les musiciens. Parler des chansons, dire aux artistes à quel point ils me touchent, ils me surprennent ou ils me choquent. Je sais maintenant, comme adulte, que je serais probablement déçue de la réalité, que les artistes sont égocentriques et capricieux. Mais il y a toujours une adolescente en moi qui aime idéaliser ces gens qui passent leur vie à se faire applaudir par des milliers de personnes. J'aime croire qu'ils sont sincèrement contents d'être à Ottawa, que nous sommes le meilleur public, que les artistes nous préfèrent à d'autres foules. J'ai senti cela au show de MacCartney on the Plains this summer.
course, I do not work at Rolling Stone and I've never met a rock star in my life (besides singers Tears for Fears, met because a friend had won a competition to CKOI and she was kind enough to invite me to meet them backstage). And I know that if I met one, I would remain speechless, paralyzed by my excessive admiration. I know, but we can always dream.
I think what I love above all a show, it is the rediscovery of the songs I've heard. This week, I took out my discs from Coldplay and I asked myself why I do not listen to them more often. There are pearls in this work, I tell you. And I wish you to pay you a moment of happiness that resembles the one I spent Monday, at the end of October of gray ...

Autumn Light
This week I have been, for the first time, nostalgic of my year to travel. As I explained at least 10 people, this is not to travel with my backpack that I miss, but this freedom of spirit and action that makes the journey more than a month .
This week I have been, for the first time, nostalgic of my year to travel. As I explained at least 10 people, this is not to travel with my backpack that I miss, but this freedom of spirit and action that makes the journey more than a month . I think those hours spent reading the brilliant Stephan Zweig in Montpellier, the whole morning walking near the sea and then write the blue I had seen dazzle, Croatia and Barcelona. I think in Amsterdam with Annie, then with Nancy, I think of those friends met in India and Southeast Asia, I think of Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Cesky Krumlov, Norway with Kine, to everywhere with Matt ...
I tell myself that I was privileged to enjoy all that freedom. Fortunate to be able to live one year with the main concern of choosing which museum I will visit or what wine I tasted in the evening. I liked walking outdoors in the spring of Norway, taking 1000 pictures of Japanese cherry blossoms, Beijing, Paris and Stockholm. I liked so much that I come back in bits and pieces scattered.
This nostalgia is sometimes blissful, but it also keeps me in the moment, the only one that really counts. Here, right now, the leaves glow of beauty and I do not take the time to look, while a lot of tourists make the trip to Asia for the sole purpose of seeing this fall is mine. Speaking of leaves, I think that's 10 ans que je n'ai pas vu des arbres enflammés de coloris automnaux. L'an passé, nous étions en Roumanie, à ce temps-ci. La lumière était douce et les matins étaient frais, dans le Maramures surtout, mais on était loin de nos ocres et de nos orange brûlé. Je sais que je suis extrêmement chanceuse de pouvoir assister à ce spectacle, mais je voudrais seulement prendre le temps d'en profiter un peu plus. Je ne voudrais pas, comme je l'ai déjà fait, passer à côté de l'automne, la tête enfouie dans mes devoirs de grammaire, mes corrections et mes préparations de cours. Je m'en vais faire du camping avec mes élèves la fin de semaine prochaine. Souhaitez-nous du beau time. I would walk alone or with young people, and take time to enjoy the fall that goes so fast, too fast.
Yes, nostalgia hit me this week, but I must not let it win. Regret because at the German villages and mountains of Austria, I pass the wealth around me. I can choose to be free, choose to continue reading Zweig, keep writing. No stopping me. Me sometimes. Least now, I hope. I'm back. Autumn leaves, do not fly immediately, heart in Hanoi, I have not yet taken the time to look at you and well penetrating my your colors, so pretty when they contrast with a blue sky of late afternoon.

What Not to Wear ... Version leaders debate
I quietly read my press this morning, drinking my coffee "Mixed Roastery" and watching the yellow leaves fall off. Everything was going well, until that time I started to read the editorial Lysiane Gagnon on again on the leaders' debate.
I quietly read my press this morning, drinking my coffee "Mixed Roastery" and watching the yellow leaves fall off. Everything was going well, until that time I started to read the editorial Lysiane Gagnon on again on the leaders' debate. I largely agree with what she wrote: It is true that the leaders were clearly more comfortable in their mother tongue and should, in Canada, better learn our second language . Where my opinion differs from that de madame Gagnon, c'est lorsqu'elle se met à critiquer l'habillement et la coiffure de la chef du Parti vert, Elizabeth May, tant lors du débat franco que lors du débat anglo. Je suis d'accord avec elle pour l'accoutrement de madame May au débat franco: la veste était trop décontracte, et le pendentif à fleur pas tout à fait assez chic pour la circonstance. Mais au débat anglo, c'est clair que la cheffe écolo a suivi les conseils d'une styliste de la CBC. Son habillement était juste correct, selon moi: assez chic, pas snob, simple comme paraît l'être la dame. Ses cheveux? Corrects, selon moi. Laids, selon madame Gagnon, qui conseille à madame May d'apprendre à s'arranger When is visiting people, nothing less. But the head of the Green Party is a single mother who advocates social values and should certainly not be a millionaire. What would Mrs. Gagnon? She dresses like Britney Spears, Julie Couillard and Belinda Stronach? For men, it's simple suit and tie is always the case. For women it's different. Personally, I admire the simplicity of dress and the authenticity of a woman who does not have the nerve to dress like a rich bourgeois to come and defend people's interest ecologists from the left that it represents. Of course, I would suggest to follow some courses in French, but I salute his courage and wish him to continue to be well enough to stay in her skin herself. His dress and her hair in English debate was a good example for thousands of women "normal" as the company's Dove campaign has been for millions of women "normal" years ago. To look good on television as in life, no need to be a canon of beauty, just be genuine and to have the courage to express his ideas with sincerity, even if chefs do not take too what is there ... Bravo Ms. May. I do not vote for your party, but you have inspired me by your courage, your ideals and your presence simple and human in this world of millions of dollars and tie boring.
