What’s in a word? Everything.
I love ALLTOP, Part Deux
Thank you, Alltop. And thank you Twitter. Please see this post on branding moms and dads differently. Was I just the straw that broke the camel’s back, on an issue that was in the resolution queue anyway? It’s now a few hours later – and whatever the reason – it seems that Alltop listened. There […]
I love ALLTOP, but…
Quick post. I love Alltop.com – I find it incredibly useful to get to top blogs in an organized fashion. And as a user of blogs in two languages, professionally and personally – I think Alltop.com is a tremendous time saver and a very usable resource. My issue I enjoy reading the DAD blogs – […]
Telling commentary – erotic literature, art nudes
What are you reading, Part Deux! I’m enjoying a variety of books this summer, and my reading habits include juicy art texts with sensual images from mid-century surrealists to modern and contemporary portraiture, along with a photography reference I’m anxious to crack open. It promises to be an interesting read, and again – filled with […]
Fly in the Ointment for Flying Bus?
I do love my daily dose of international internet news… France-Soir and The Telegraph are reporting on Ryanair, the low-cost Irish airline, and its recent service-slashing proposals that would really put the bus into Airbus! Are you ready to climb aboard, fasten your belt, but without seat backs in the upright position? Why? Because there […]
Personal politics, urban dictionary style, six ways from Sunday.
Yep. I love Urban Dictionary. It suits me, despite the fact that its lingo is harder to master than a Slavic soumise. But I can live and learn, look and learn, listen and learn. And examine our political landscape with fresher (albeit irreverent) eyes six ways from Sunday. This morning, staring down a stack of […]
Pas de nouvelles, bonnes nouvelles? Not always.
“Pas de nouvelles… bonnes nouvelles, comme dit le proverbe.” No news is good news, as the proverb says. But is the proverb true? Or is no news just… no news? No news is no news In the case of an overseas friend who hadn’t written or called in awhile, it was true. Tout allait bien; […]
Word: Le mot juste ou juste un mot
It must be morning, somewhere. But not here. Where then? Where I am. Here. Now. This place. In your head ? Word. What? Word. You know – “you’re good, you’re fine.” WORD. What does that mean? I just told you. You’re good. You’re fine. Well said. Mais qu’est-ce que tu as ? T’as oublié tes medicaments, toi ? […]
French dog high on dope, recovering nicely after rampant case of munchies
“Chien plane complètement… les yeux vitreux… après avoir dévoré du cannabis,” selon son propriétaire. “Dog completely stoned… eyes glazed over… after devouring cannabis,” according to his owner. These were the headlines that greeted me when I opened my home page this morning. Yes, a French home page. And why not? If I can’t have a […]
