Follow my blog with bloglovin´
Just wanted to share this with you: www.bloglovin.com is a great tool in order to follow the various blogs that inspire you and make you smile everyday. It works kind of like Netvibes for those of you who use it, but I tried out Netvibes and it just didn’t do it for me, I didn’t like the layout and found it kind of confusing. Bloglovin is great to just get a thread of all the recent posts from your favorite blogs and look at them when you can, without having to go back a million pages if you miss out a few days, it’s all right there, a click away.
That was my epic participation for the day, I’m back to European material law for the evening… Take care everyone!
So I know that you’ve heard about this if you don’t like in a hole or haven’t recently been abducted by aliens or anything, but I wanted to add my own 2 cents to the whole controversy emanating from the Church according to whom condoms do not protect you from AIDS.
Now, according to the Bishop of Orléans here in France,
“It is written on cigarette packets: danger. It should be written on condom packets: incomplete reliability. You know it very well, all the scientists know it: the size of the AIDS virus is infinitely smaller than that of a spermatozoa. Proof is given that the condom is not a 100% guarantee against AIDS.” (In Le Point 27.03.2009 Read the rest of this entry »
Well, this is what a homesick New Yorker does with them…

I give in. I’ll admit it: I miss the Latin passion and heat that you get by having an affair/relationship/whatever it is you have with L guys. That feeling like you just want to jump each others bones, but are refraining because you are in a public place/in the presence of kids/just not in the right place to do that kind of thing. That electricity that courses through you and between you as you exchange long languid glances that say it all, that “I want to undress you and have passionate sex with you right here, right now” look that makes the other person smirk and hide their face, for fear that someone looking may understand what salacious thoughts you have in mind.

Attention people! Were you aware that a new sport was invasing the cities? It’s like we all have our very own paparazzi!

Another interesting fact: did you know that the Soviet Army had the basics of breakdancing down to an art? Watch this and you’ll see what I’m talking about!
Oh and, I WANT this computer!
Finally, check out what you do with your time on the computer with this neat gadget:

Check out this blog post:

It shows how one woman can be made to look everywhere from 10 to 60 years old, thanks only to makeup and lighting, with no Photoshopping whatsoever. I find it really interesting to see what talented people can do in camera, although I do consider Photoshopping as an art in and of itself.
I’m not against “green”, don’t worry. It was just voted one of the words that should be removed from the 2009 vocabulary for having mentioned too often (and senselessly) in 2008. More seriously though, take a look at these transparent objects, and dare to tellme you don’t love at least ONE of them?

My favorite are the camera, toaster, canoe and bath. Were I to choose just one, it would be the bath! I absolutely LOVE this one, wee!!
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? Failed an exam. Wait, was I supposed to say something positive? Uhm… Actually partied like a proper student I guess. And I also travelled to places I hadn’t been to before. Score!
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t make any, I let things change along the way. But I have some for this year, resolutions and goals. I’ve made 2 separate lists for those things. Goals are things that you really want to do, within a certain period of time (in my case, graduating and enrolling for my 4th year by March 25th). Resolutions are just general guide lines or things you’d like to do but without any particular frame (working in Spain to learn Spanish, this summer).

Does anyone else think the “poll” button on the WP bar looks like a condom? Or is it just my f***ed up mind playing dirty tricks on me?
Enough I say! Enough comparing inanimate objects to sexually related ones.
Unfortunately this update is pretty meagre: SciPol has been taking up less of my time than I thought, and my procrastination skills are working overtime when concerned with thesis writing. In other, much happier news, Angelo is coming to visit next weekend, so I’m hoping for a nice few days of cinema going, sight-seeing and good eating. Hopefully it won’t rain all the time like when Gag came before the holidays… Cross your fingers!
I’ve been looking to go to Paris on the weekend of the 12th, but the return tickets are too bloody expensive: 60€! That’s a 90€ return ticket for a 1100km journey, whereas the journey home is more like 1700km and is only costing me around 60€. I’m thinking of looking on carpooling sites, but at the moment no one seems to be going when I am. Rats. If only the SciPol madmen that they call teachers would do as they’re supposed to and keep that last week for any classes that were missed in the year, rather than use it like any other normal week, I wouldn’t actually have to skip classes to not ruin my bank account in going to Paris… Ah! The life of a poor-wannabe-traveller-student. Yay.
To compensate for my own lack of a social life I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately and have found some interesting stuff like
http://thinksimplenow.com/happiness/15-simple-ways-to-overcome-anger/
http://suicidegirls.com/news/culture/23113/
http://suicidegirls.com/news/culture/23066/
The last two are articles written by the same person and I found them on http://galadarling.com , another great blog which I like to follow. Lame, I know. Sue me. Or give me a social life, whichever is closest at hand.
