Crazy World Friday


This is a totally pointless stupid sign, which I can only guess is a joke from the funny, funny mayor of a boring little town...

Grey's: Jaw-dropping

WARNING: For those of you who haven't watched the 2 last episodes of Grey's Anatomy, and wish to see them don't read the following!! It may hurt your eyes and make you stay up all night to find, download and watch them!!

OH-MY-GOD!!!!!! I mean, seriously, what happened there??? Why? Why do this to us?? Is it some kind of new experimental torture tool? I knew that Katherine wanted to leave show, so I wasn't really surprised when her heart stopped beating... but I didn't know about George!! That came as such a HUGE shock!!!

During the whole 2 hours, we follow this John Doe who's had a terrible accident, but we're all focused on Izzie's surgery. Is she gonna make it? Is she gonna die? Is she gonna lose her memory and be a vegetable? And right when she's got her memory back, her heart fails her, and John Doe turns out to be O'Maley!!!! O'Maley, who was going to enroll for Iraq, pushed a girl away from the bus and got hit instead... I should've known it was him from the beginning because we didn't see him during the episodes, and that woman he saved kept calling him a Prince Charming...

So now the question is: are they really going to die?? We don't know for sure yet. First of all, they're not dead as long as they're not pronounced. And at the end of the episodes, no one pronounces them, so there still may be a chance there. Also, Katherine still has a year left on her contract. So will she do this last year or will they end her contract early?

When we see George and Izzie at the end (by the way, don't you think George is unbelievably hot in his uniform and with this military haircut?), maybe they just talk to each other, like when Meredith had her accident and could talk to her mom. Maybe they see each other in some kind of parallel universe and then one of them, or both, comes back.
If Izzie really dies, Alex is going to be ice-cold...

I don't want to watch the 6th season if Izzie and O'Maley aren't here anymore, because it's just not the same without them. However, I'd like to know whether or not they are really dead... I guess I'll have to wait aaaaaallllllll summer to find out!

Love that sign! Maybe it can be seen in a partner-swapping club... Where the women got too wild to handle... I guess we'll never know!

Crazy World Friday

From now on, Fridays will be dedicated to weird, crazy, or intriguing pictures.

Today, you can witness the damages the Crisis does to everyone everywhere. Yes! Even poor Ronald McDonald is hit! If one of the most powerful corporations gets to bite the dust, what will happen to us inferior human beings? That's a bit scary...

Que tienes un gran Cinco de Mayo!

As American readers probably know, today is May 5th, also known in California and other Southern States as Cinco de Mayo...

For a few years now I've been celebrating this day eating fajitas and drinking tequila, just like every non-Irish person celebrates St Patrick's day drinking gallons of beer. And although I've wondered what we were celebrating exactly, I've never really bothered to ask or search. Until today.

I realized, much to my dismay, that Cinco de Mayo celebrated a battle. Not just any battle. The battle of Puebla, on May 5th 1862, when the Mexicans defeated the French... :( Suddenly I've lost my thirst for tequila...

However, although we've lost this battle, we won the war, and France occupied Mexico for a few years (why weren't we ever taught that at school? it's awesome!), until Abe decided he wouldn't mind his own business and kicked us out of USLaborLand . So I choose to keep on celebrating Cinco de Mayo, except unlike Mexicans, I'll celebrate the French occupation of Mexico!

A la demande générale!

In a week's time I've become wildly popular! ok... amongst my friends... fine... amongst a few friends... anyways, one of them asked for more (oui oui, toi!) so here it is!

Surfing through friends' pictures on a well-known community website (Face...k y'all know it), I clicked on a picture that represented very well the American Southern middle-to-upper class couples freshly out of college. They were young graduates, looking at least 10 years older than they really are, with haircuts from the 19th century. The girl was of course wearing grandma's pearls, and the guy had the mandatory sunglasses and hunters/fishers hat. Future rich, arrogant and cigar-smoking farmer and his housewife juggling between raising the 3 kids and running the local garden's club.

Anyways, I'm not here to judge that American cliché, I'm here to judge their sad and obvious lack of fashion-sense :) We all know Americans have some trouble dressing up in the morning, clearly not knowing that long Tees only belong to the 80's, yes you should take a few extra minutes to have a matching outfit, and that no, you can't wear flip flops year round and everywhere... But here it was like the climax of bad taste. That couple was wearing matching outfits!!! And not even a cute one... An ugly blue/white vertical stripes one (which the guy wore with a brownish/greenish Tshirt... I mean, seriously?!!!).


I believe it is time we do something about this... We can't let couples go out wearing the same identical clothes, it's a clear proof of disregard to other people... So fellow readers, I suggest that the next time you witness that kind of fashion crime, you offer the poor victim the latest issue of your favorite fashion magazine (i.e Cosmo or Vogue).

We see it and yet we dont see it

Another stunning discovery today... Who had ever realized that the Unilever logo was made of teeny tiny drawings?! I was looking at a sample bottle of shower gel I got for free in a store, and for some reason, got a closer look at the logo, and bam! I've always thought it was just little dots, kinda like what you're TV looks like when it's set on a channel you can't receive. But how I was wrong! It's actually a clever mix of fish, shells, birds, a mouth, a palm tree, a flower, a carrot, some kind of explosion, a butterfly, the recycling arrows, and what I'm guessing are a tree and a diamond ring!
As a proficient marketer myself (lol!) I'm amazed I had never seen this before!!! It's like the huge C in the Carrefour logo that took me a good 10mn to see...
