Good things seems to be happening – Maxïmo Park at la tulipe on june 13th. Watch a video. (via the toine)
Meanwhile, do not forget about LCD Soundsystem and Mia show this sunday at la tulipe – a must see.
9h04, j’ouvre les yeux (parce que tinamour, alias lilo mon chat, fait tomber tout ce qu’il peu pour qu’enfin je me réveille, dépendance affective oblige).
Première question que je me pose, bien avant de me demander s’il fait beau dehors, quel jour on est, et combien de jours il me reste avant le jour de mes 30 ans : j’suis tu encore malade moi là?
Hm.. pas de trace de fièvre, encore l’impression d’avoir un couteau dans la gorge mais le mal de tête est lui aussi disparu.
Constat : moin malade qu’hier et sûrement moins en forme que demain – bref, lève toi ma belle, diable sort de ce corp, la période de convalescence est maintenant terminée.
Et comme c’est souvent le cas dans ma vie, le ciel semble avoir aligné tout ses astres : le téléphone sonne, c’est mel. 11h30 déjeuner au eldorado. Pas vue mel depuis des lunes, elle est fantastique mel. J’ai même pas besoin de parler, elle s’occupe de tout (essayer de parler avec un couteau dans la gorge, vous m’en reparlerez). Pendant que je déjeune et filme tout ce qui bouge, elle me raconte combien sa vie va vite, combien son band de musique tzigane qui est partis de rien ya 3 ans a maintenant un bô disque à vendre et que la date de leur lancement sera le 15 JUIN AU LION D’OR.
En revenant, je me demande si les gens qui me sourient sur la rue me connaissent.
Dans une autre vie je leur demanderais, mais dans cette vie ci je suis trop gênée.
NB : Mon autre vie commence dans 10 jours, les invitations pour la fête on été envoyées.

We’ve got blogs -
evolutive online spaces that give anyone skilled enough the chance to post thoughts and ideas online and receive feedback;
then podcasting, or audio blogs -
for anyone skilled enough, the chance to post thoughts and ideas online as an audio document that could be listened to by anyone at anytime from anyplace;
then, we now have video blogs -
bloggers now go into another level of sharing by allowing readers to read them, hear them, and see them. Video blogging is not new, neither audio blogging was, but when the hipe hits, thousands of follower are showing up from every corner of the globe.
Video blogging is from far away the more human approach to online sharing – you can not only read and hear what people have to say, you can feel it trough their eyes, their faces, the tone of their voices. Video bloggers pre-record small movies under a specified topic, and with or without movie editing skills, make their way to thousands of viewers. The buzz is rapidly spreading – the web is now full of short spontaneous amateur movies showing life in is purest form, as it exactly is.
Here are some that caught my attention:
- Josh Leo
- steve garfields
- karmagrrrl
- amyville
- michael verdi
- rocketboom
- sara’s corner
How to get into video blogging using a blogger account:
- free vblog
And,
of course, i could too do it. Here is what could be my first video blog, compiling short videos i have been filming over the last year around montreal. I’m not sure yet if other vblog will follow:
- m-c’s Vblog #1 (heavy 96mb file).
What to do when you are sick and feel like just washing the dishes is way too much of what you can handle right now:
- full your ipod of podcast, lay and listen (if you can hit the ff button everynow and then, this just to ensure you are still awake);
- watch truly amazing video blogs of people screaming, muffins talking to each other, and people connecting accross miles trough vblog;
- reading email (once the inbox is fully read, there is always the junk mail folder, but this can be quite borring, so i suggest you go on to next point);
- read blogs – and when you have read all your usual feed, go on and browse trough new ones;
- and of course, the usual: read books, magazines, watch silly movies, but avoid daily tv shows since with a little fever these can turn out to be your biggest nightmares.
I hate being sick. All boring.

Neale is putting up an interesting project about a misconceptions map and is asking for montrealers out there to help him out. Here are the infos.
That’s it, i am getting a little bit closer to the bday – here are the details about this birthday project i wrote about earlier:

You can participate by sending me a digital document by email – a picture, an email, wishes, a drawing or else – so that i can create an album from all these files. (yeah, it might end up as something involving flickr – who knows!

yes to all the girls who are shaping our world right now:
Carole did a presentation about the future of web at the OFFF festival in Barcelona – Isn’t that strange, that she has to do such thing there and why-the-hell-not-here? It wouldnt be the first time that great local talents are spent overseas at the benefits of other population. Shame.
Mel does La Main, en tellement gros qu’on pourrait lui trouver des défauts. Congrats and bonne suite;
and I, i might be driving somewhere new.
