Lifespan Extending Villa
When friends enter our new apartment, I have to reassure them that they are not dizzy, the floor is definitely sloping — as it happens often in century old houses of the Plateau neighborhood in Montreal. But then I read this nytimes story about the house that architects and poets Arakawa and Madeline Gins just… Continue reading Lifespan Extending Villa

Letting go
I’ve been lately asking the universe for changes. Changes outside – more movement, excitement, aliveness – and changes inside me. I’ve been working on shining light on some of the beliefs which keep me away from the outside changes i wish to see, so i can transform these same beliefs and move on. Since then,… Continue reading Letting go

Eat Pray Love
I’ve been compulsively ordering books last week, one of them being this sparkling jewel, blessed with light and wisdom. Truth is, i only buy compulsively when i feel a lack of something in my life, see excitement and adventure. Well, this book does exactly provides both. I am amazed at the power of one’s story… Continue reading Eat Pray Love
I am a vegetarian and I love meat
This sentence sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it? But in the near future it could be reality, at least for vegetarians who don’t eat meat in order to protest against industrialized mass-killing of animals, which is the sad reality of today’s meat production industry (40 billion animals are killed every year alone in the U.S.).… Continue reading I am a vegetarian and I love meat

Self-destruction in 48 hrs
A german company invented a DVD which deletes its content in 48 hrs after playing it for the first time. That’s a stupid idea which just creates more waste on this planet, especially when a movie does not necessarily need any physical medium for its distribution anymore! If someone doesn’t have access to the internet,… Continue reading Self-destruction in 48 hrs

Featured artist: Darlene Charneco
She is one of my all time favorite artists on Flickr. I love the style and detail of her work – for me her work is all about architecture and candy 3D worlds. 😉 But since I am not an art critic (thank’s god!), just have a look by yourself and enjoy! Visit Darlene Charneco’s… Continue reading Featured artist: Darlene Charneco

Winter is over
This is a picture we took 2 years ago, when Chris landed in america for the first time. I love this picture, for I look a little lost, and Chris looks like he’s just about to direct an orchestra. I love this picture because it remembers me of crisp & clear details of the start… Continue reading Winter is over
