Mish mash...

Aujourd'hui j'ai seulement une série de petits faits qui n'ont aucuns liens les uns aux autres.

1. Painful movie: House of Sand and Fog is a horrible movie (watched it this weekend). "Like watching a train wreck in slow motion" said Chris.


2. Will the real America stand up, please?: I'm presently reading a book by Howard Zinn: "People's History of the United States". What an incredible read. Makes you realize that the US was never the land of the free nor the land of opportunity. You can read some of the chapters here. They've also released a movie made from his biography: Howard Zinn: You can't be neutral on a moving train.


3. Artsy miniputt: Le Walker Arts Center (musée d'art juste à côté d'Utne) a fait faire un miniputt où chaque trou a été créé par un artiste. I especially like the hole that is based on the kids game "Operation"


4. Tan and wash: Always wished you could get a tan while taking your shower? Idrolux is "a sophisticated shower system that gently tans and purifies the skin as it cleanses." I'm still waiting for the "shower without getting out of bed" contraption, for those hard to get out bed mornings.


5. Poésie à la claire de lune: si vous avez la chance, il y a un petit groupe de musiciens qui font "les Soirées Hors Pistes", où ils font la lecture de poème (dont Neruda) à la belle étoile et avec de la musique (du violon). C'est à Val Morin. Wish I could go...


6. TV addiction: Now you can "watch" TV all day long on this new watch tv.
