HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM MAXIME, MARIE ANNE, DAVE, NADA, JOHN DENVER AND THE WHOLE MUPPET GANG

It's the Muppets and John Denver singing the 12 Days of Christmas! Fozzy keeps screwing up, that douche! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and sorry for the scarcity of posts. I will hit the blog with fresh enthusiasm in the new year, watch out!

American Thanksgiving:Thankyou, Chinese Takeaway (A Post Actually by Dave)

Alas, I’ve had another amazing Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to my good friends at South Ocean Chinese & Exotic Food to Take-Away, my turkey day tradition has yet again been observed.

Nada and I feasted on some delicious B3 for Two Persons - which includes a deep fried gourmet platter, Aromatic Crispy Duck (with pancakes, salad and Hoi Sin sauce, pictured left), Sea Spicy Beef, Fried Mixed Vegetables, Prawn (crackerass) Crackers, Fried Rice and Kung Po Chicken with Cashewnuts (below).

Don’t even act like your unbrined, dehydrated turkey can even come close to this in the satisfaction race. Look at those cashewnuts (not cashews, cashewnuts).
The only thing that could have added to the Thanksgiving cheer would have been the company of a few miniature schnauzers.

So toss a small pox-infested blanket to the nearest Native American and throw your buddies a high five. Happy Thanksgiving, suckers.

Je suis en train de mourrir

I am dying. I've been horribly ill all week - and not the Beasty Boys kind of ill (I'm that all the time), I mean sickly. Sickly like a little bitch. I've been in bed for a good 32 hours now. Awesome.

I have come across some very interesting information in my fever-ridden stupor. Apparently, St. Louis is home to the world's largest geyser - the Gateway Geyser. It's a big fountain built on the East Side (so really, it's in Illinois) to bring the other side of the Mississippi in on the "Gateway to the West" action. It was built in 1995 - and I had NO idea it exists. It spits a column of water 192 meters (~630 ft) into the air, almost as tall as the Arch itself. This beast discharges 8,000 gallons of water per minute via three 800 horse-power pumps. My god.

Also, for those of you who don't know (and many of you probably don't), the St. Louis Arch has an observation deck at the top of it. You pay ten dollars to ride a completely creepy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-esque (the Burton one) elevator up to the top to look out over St. Louis in all of its glory. Don't bother looking to the East side, there's no point (other than the world's largest geyser, I guess, if it's on).

I hope my snotty ass has shed some light on "the most dangerous town in the U.S." (which is complete bullshit). Most people I meet over here have no idea where St. Louis is, much less that there's a giant arch and a huge geyser to match it there. Sorry that this wasn't in French - I gave it a go with the title...

Une Photo de Ma Ville, Toronto

Voici une photographie de ma ville, Toronto. C’est une photographie du mur d’un magasin des fruits et légumes dans un très grand marché dans Toronto, qui s’appelle Kensington Market. C’est un des lieux préférés de mon père, Zoran. Il y va presque chaque jour pour déjeuner. Donc, voilà!

This is a caricature of my brother, who lives in Tokyo. From the looks of it he has stopped shaving his upper lip...

Halloween Party

Yesterday, there was an Halloween Party at Iris and Anna's house. It was also Anna's birthday and the victory of the Saint-Louis Cardinals: World Series Champions !!!

Here is a picture of Anna (in black) and Iris (in red).

They live with 2 French guys near St Margareth Halls, in which we met Anna and Iris at the beginnig of the year.

There were plenty of foreign people, most of them came from France and Germany. One could notice 3 outstanding outfits: an american pumpkin (Dave), an english bobby (Marie-Anne) and a bitchy witch (me).

Dave's outfit, a 7 year old one, was really amazing because of its shining nimples.

These shining nimbles were the cause of the loss of his outfit but it is a long story...

Southampton Sights in French, Pt. 1: October Books

Mon post aujourd’hui s’agit d’un de mes lieux préférés à Southampton : la librairie qui s’appelle October Books. October Books est située sur Portswood st. dans le quartier Portswood. C’est près de chez moi, ce me fait 10 minutes à pied. Aujourd’hui j’ai reçu une email d’un très gentil homme qui s’appelle Anthony et qui y travaille. Il m’a dit que les livres que j’avais commandés sont arrivés. Je les ai commandés hier après-midi, et j’étais très contente!

October Books a été fondée à 1977. En ce temps-là c’était une commune et tous les employés étaient des volontaires. À 1981 October Books est devenue une librairie coopérative du voisinage ou, comme ils disent sur son website, « a community-based radical bookshop. » Et, October Books est plus qu’une librairie. Ils vendent des snacks naturel, les nettoyants organiques, et des produits du Fair Trade! Aussi, c’est directement à coté de l’arrêt de bus!

Si vous voulez apprendre plus sur October Books, jetez un coup d’œil sur son website. Il y a un link à droite.

The Housemates

We are four people to share this wonderful house.

Dave (USA), a big fan of the Cardinals, who loves beer and cheesy chips

Nada (Canada), the hugest fan of Madonna and Plato, who eats "too much rice"

Maxime (France), who believes in the French touch (bullshit)

Marie-Anne (France), the rugby player of the house who can't dirnk as much as the English girls do.

Allez les Cardinals!

On est tous très excités, parce que les Cardinals sont arrivés aux World Series!

Le Ciel (c'est clair mais loin)

En fait, le ciel est la plus fiable source de la stimulation à Southampton. C’est épique! Voici une photographie :



Peut-être il existe des plus épiques photographies que celle-ci. Attendez un peu et je vous montrerai des autres. Plus épique, tellement épique! Aussi, pendant la nuit on peut voir des étoiles! J’essayerai prendre une photo du ciel pendant la nuit, mais je ne sais pas si je pourrai.

À plus tout le monde!

Coming soon...

Brilliant posts about this brilliant city. Part one: the sky.
