Olala ! (even if we never say that)

It looks a little bit like me right now. Is it the size, the smile or the fur?

I have been absent for a very long time: it was finally time to leave Tokyo (kind of violently) (I visited Kyotô, finished my semester, moved out in less than five days) (call me Survivor), to enjoy the simple pleasures of being in the same room than my family who I have not met in one year…

Also time to take some vacation which were actually short and fast, but pleasant and thrilling, in the South of France, meeting family, trying not to faint because of some French villages’ beauty (that’s no exaggeration. I wouldn’t dare.).

Finally, time to face my destiny by trying to read some books for September. I said trying. Trying is good. Participating as well.

Time to get hung over with one of my best friends in Bordeaux, the city of wine and rugbymen. Time to simply enjoy my short summer !

Until then, the biggest surprise has been this fact… I’m not so sad. Me, the biggest Japan-obsessed you could meet, who sacrificed her whole energy and all her savings to finally get there, I’m not so sad. It’s actually worse: I’m glad I’m back. One year ago, I swear to God, it didn’t matter how much I loved the Seine or Degas paintings or French boulangerie, I just wanted to get the f… out of there. Cynical, undisciplined, dark, pessimistic, cold Parisian people just got on my nerves. The political atmosphere sucked. It still sucks (just like an infected wound), but as for Paris, I like it.

After years of… nothing… it seems that the whole city decided to improve! Dirty, old shops were replaced by designed and brand-new furniture. Even the supermarket I used to work for, which was a kind of haunted house for the past fifteen years, became super-fancy super-cute in a short year.

And most of all… … … people became polite. What the hell has happened ?? Oh, believe me, I’m certainly NOT going to complain, but whaouh! Is Sarkozy’s stinking method disgusting to the point that people actually changed?

Anyway: France and all your clichés, Je T’aime ! Macarons, bouquinistes, lovers walking together, old houses, street musicians, café serré, kisses kisses, kisses...

 

My sister and me if we were not poor.

Eye of the tiger

I am currently fighting with my css code... and as it's very late, and that I have homework to do, and that my friends are waiting for me to watch soccer at the fourth floor of our building, I have to leave it that way for a few hours days...

So, I know that's a mess... je suis désolée !

Water ? ... under control.

Wououh !! A new era began !
Who needs to study politics when you can do water bending ? What's the point, hm ?
Anyone for sending resumees when you control water ? ... naaaah.

 

With water bending, I could... well, with water bending, I could... make huge waves in the swimming pool, which could be cool. And I could... make ice cream very iced. And I could... basically, control people's body but that's not very ethic. I could...

 

...

Ok, water bending is not very useful in our world, you need to live the Four nations land for that, but it would be so COOL.

 

We are definitely water's people, sis' ! Thank you so much for this fanart of the two of us !
(Wait. The most important member of our group is missing. Where IS MOMO ??)

 

Can't wait for The Last Airbender to get released...

The Man In The Desert

Music tells me stories - whether this is extracted from soundtracks or not...

No comment for this one, just enjoy it.

Skype-away

One century ago, love songs mainly talked about impossible love stories: forced weddings, undeniable differences of background, etc.

Now, one of the recurrent thematic is long-distance love, because we are more and more opened to the world, we are offered to study or work abroad, and we have planes, and Internet, and skype, and so here we go.

Naive version – Distance, Utada Hikaru [It's alright to try, cause I just wanna be with you now]

Romantic version – Hey there Delilah, Plain White T’s [We'll have the life we knew we would]

Annoyed version. – Love Long Distance, The Gossip [Love long distance is trying me testing my patience]

Bittersweet version – Skin and Bones, Charle Kaye ft. Darren Criss [I'll keep on wanting you that I can't have]

It’s over version – Miles Away, Madonna [I guess we're at our best when miles away]

Poetic version – A Thousand miles, Vanessa Carlton [You know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could see you]
