5 years ago

What were you up to 5 years ago...? Post links to your old entries here.

So, I'm woken up around 7AM this morning by the wife, looking at me totally freaked out, her left hand holding her right hand, which is pissing down with blood... Turns up she's just slashed herself with a chipped blender she was cleaning.

Of course we have no clue what to do/who to call/where to go to. Good thing she thinks about her sister (who knows Chicago quite well) and she directs us to the Northwestern Children Hospital, a place where she used to work, which is only a few blocks away. We go there and they are very helping and friendly. We actually didn't know that there is an "all-ages" Northwestern Hospital just nearby but in the end we didn't have to go there. They stitched N, who had cut herself up to the muscle. Quite gory but strangely fascinating once you're past the "am I going to puke?" factor.

Anyhoo, we're just back home now and we'll have to get the stitches removed in 10 days. Good times.

In other news, I received a replacement PS3 yesterday and tried to reconnect wirelessly and that just wouldn't work. Of course, when I initially bought my PS3, I had no problem whatsoever to get it to work wirelessly. So I'm going to try again today and if it doesn't work, I'll buy an ethernet cable, as I tried with the one from my PC and it did work. Fucking technology bullshit, it's supposed to make your life easier/fun and it's just a constant drag instead... If it hadn't cost me $400, I would have gladly tossed that fucking PS3 out of the window yesterday. As you've probably guessed, on top of the headache with the wireless, I have to re-install everything (games/saves/re-do downloads, etc.), because when you send your machine for repairs, they just send you another one. So geigh.

Hope your weekend started on a better note

Be good

*switches on the lights*

I hope there aren't too many spiders in here.

mmm... It feels like Summer is leaving the building already

Don't know about you guys, whatever your corner of the world is, but here in Chicago, the temperature has definitely gone down since the crazy thunderstorms we got last week, and it doesn't feel like it's going to get better.

I really like this town but I dread the prospect of another everlasting and awful winter. Who knows what may happen - but if we're still good and alive, comes the end of May next year, my eyes will certainly be looking towards California, since my company has an office in SF

Be good, kids

My wifey is the most beautiful person I have ever met in this life. Inside and Out.

Personne, tu m'entends, personne n'est comme toi. Je t'aime comme un fou et je me fous du reste... Rien, rien n'est important. Le monde peut exploser et on va se marrer et on en n'a rien a foutre.

hahahaha on en n'a rien a foutre



I love you

I love you

I love you

Je t'aime.

Life is so fucked up

That's why it's fun.

OK, the Dark Knight was a pretty good blockbuster, which is a rare feat in itself, as "good" and "blockbuster" hardly ever fit in the same sentence unless you put a negation in there somewhere.

Best movie ever...? Let's not even start this debate... then again, films and movies are two different things for me, a bit like comparing Bon Jovi and Tom waits, if you catch my drift.

This week has been dragging. This is strange. Glad it's finally Friday tomorrow.

I'm still thinking about better updates

I'm pretty sure I will be disappointed by The Dark Knight. I'm getting sooooo tired of all the hyperboles people use before or after they've seen it. I'm sure that if Ledger hadn't died, there wouldn't be half the buzz around this film.

Anyway, I'm still thinking about better updates. Give me some time

Anybody in Chicago wants to start a band?

I'm a really good guitar player and I can play pretty much anything.

I miss that.
