– This will hold 1,000 of your favorite songs and this will hold 10,000 of your favorite songs… The BIG question is: how many favorite songs do you have?

– Presently, about 16. It’s up from 12 because I just saw “The Who“!

Well, well, well…

I’m back from New York. Once again, I fell completely in love with the city. The place is indeed unique, and don’t even get me started on the killer style!

My trip had a bit of everything, from cultural visits to St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the MOMA store (well, yeah, at least you can call it ‘cultural’ window shopping!) to relaxed strolling in the hippest parts of the city, including the Meatpacking District and the one and only SoHo. The highlight, I have to say, was the tour of Barneys with its Christmas decorations inspired by Warhol’s art. I brought back a related souvenir – you’ll all be catching a glimpse of it on my blog soon 😉

Stay tuned…

Question – Do we have to make excuses for wanting to go out and have a good time? I guess not… Sometimes, in the most sociable period of time, being with other people can be as important as the air that we breathe and the food that we eat.

I’m off to the Big Apple in few hours… You, who just read this post, will be missed 🙂

bisous et à très bientôt…

– Ever hear of the Pareto principle?

– What’s that?

– That in life, 20% of effort gives 80% of results and 80% of effort gives 20% results! Do you realize what this means for homework?!

– That one way or the other, you’ve got to start with some effort!

December the second, two thousand and six… It’s Saturday morning and it’s snowing… The first snow of the season…

I was thinking this morning that it’s good to take other people’s opinions into account but not when it’s going too far and not when others think they have a right to tell us how to live… If this situation go on much longer it will become intolerable so it has to be sorted. NOW.

Off to yoga…
