tour de notre d'ame?

Walked to the 660 m of the tower of the cathedral in town. ITS TALL. So tall that your neck hurts if you follow it from bottom to top in a single viewing! The view from up there was really cool - so was the wind.

We went to have lunch at a posh place in town and had baekcoffe for dinner! yummo yummo. We checked out a place to meet up some friends in... was nice! :-)

Nikie the teddy was with us and I think she said she enjoyed every bit of it!

oh and..

Katie arrives today!
yay!
:-)

We hope to have a poker night at Matteo's place.

Attacks of the gypsies

Things can't possibly getting worse. If you hated school - it would be fantastic, however, we are here for doing something we all (some of us more than some others and I refrain to comment on which group I belong to)... so its bad. Whats bad, bee? I hear you ask.

Well, in strasbourg, they have the problem of the gypsies. Gypsies to me are nice, happy people, free from possessions - worldly or emotional binding - happy to share their love with trees, animals and the nature at large and roam around bathing in fresh water springs with a flower in every place! In my understanding, they seek to be away from the soul crumbling hectic-ness of a civil and diamonds are certainly not as good friends as butterflies are.

But I guess thats only in my little head and gypsies have moved on- now to steal not only territory, but electricity (to use on their caravan satellite dishes, tvs, computers that help trade on e-bay, washing machines!! and dryers!!). They have taken over our campus and attacked one of our faculty. So we are striking now!

Boris always asks in his emails : Does ISU still exists - is it still working. Well, my friend: we are closed for business for the next two days, and its the gypsies fault. We will be back only after they have stopped fishing for frogs in our pond!

strikes, trams - oh sorry this may be a rant

In Myths of Greece, Gruber says:

The first mortals lived on earth in a state of perfect innocence and bliss. The air was pure and balmy; the sun shone brightly all the year; the earth brought forth delicious fruit in abundance; and beautiful, fragrant flowers bloomed everywhere.

where did that go?!

People are striking in France. They are striking against a law on contracts - C.P.I... I tried to get across town for 3 hrs and no luck! so bored...and it wasted so much time. I can see they don't like it, but the ones who are taking part in the manifestation are upto no good! I saw a 7-8 year (given he could have been just short, 10 at most) smoking a cigarette - I wish I knew how to throw a tantrum at him in French: would have scared the living devil out of him to go near a cigarette in the future.

I wish the greek times come back (only the ones printed above - there was plenty to complain about in those times too!)

Je l'ai obtenu pour habiter en la France

An early start to the day: and finally I have my french permit from the prefecture! woo hoo. Yet another piece of paper, with a terrible picture on it. Great!

to my mummy

Happy Mother's Day Mum!

Love you lots!!

:-)

the attack of the sleep waves

I fall asleep at the computer after looking at the time at around 11.46 pm last night. Fatboy slim tries to shake my sleep or maybe it my finger on the volume button. I wake up around 3, make my way to bed - its awesome sleep! I think I had Chris' voice ringing in my sleep - it was lovely to hear him on the phone last night. :-) I wish I remembered all the DJ names I thought of in my dream.

(He laughed out loud at my suggestion of 'DJ pole vaulter donkey man' last night ...!)

wake up at 10.00 or something around there - I don't know how time works today. Half of the world saves times, others don't - dunno what france does.... but who so ever was wondering: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/personal.html

its now 11.25 am.

interesting fact of the day

today is simple:
Strasbourg is the 7th largest city in France.

Saucy as a BBQ!

Its the break of dawn, I look out, I look at my watch: 06.39. I am on a sofa and strangely I remember getting there despite of there being some mental blurs of the evening (around 6 hrs before the night ended!)

hmm... I take a deep breathe, and roll to my other side. The creative juices in my head mix with the leftover slush of alcohol and ripple through and run over to the other side of my head like the retreating foaming droplets of a wave on the pebbly beach of Marmagoa or Seaton. With this motion, each cell rings like a copper bell, resonating the empty sides of my head! OW...

but, I am doomed to be awake and to be trying to get some sleep. I recall what happened. OK: RECAP.

Results in the morning. Michele conversation at team meeting about snout and his habits as a kid (important things check: Tick!), then a BBQ - great start to drinks, a brilliant quiz night. The guys picked up PY's car and carried it into the middle of a ploughed field. (http://matthewjason.blogspot.com/ - check out the picture) Its going to be so messy. I carry my Japanese sake bottle up to the professors and we all finish off this before office hrs! It was nice! I have Nikolai's full support on the need for alcoholics on a friday afternoon. :-)

I want a backoeffe and Niki is around - I think she should have one too: so, we all head off into town from school. Arthur has a barrel of red wine (only fit for sangria mixtures) and we drink off that in the tram - totally in line with the roudy student behaviour for which several ppl are in prison!

So, Rob, Niki, Myself and Arthur make our way to the restaurant: Im wasted. I slur, I stumble, apparently it was 'very funny'. So, I want to go get some fresh air and people have different preferences... so we all leave. Niki did have very different preferences as she needed to finish off her familiarization to the size and sounds of strasbourg *nudge nudge, wink wink*

Aaaaaaaaah, which brings me back to the sofa situation. No keys - as they were with Niki, who was at some other place (I know but I can't say here: ssssssssssshhhhhh)

Anyhoo; yeh so we had off to the La Lanterne, meet some others and have some tart flambee. We had off to another party - from other students. We all have a fab time, Arthur, Rob Alex and I walk to the PAC dwelling and in between the walk, Arthur utters the word 'Awkward' a record number of times! its so funny.

So I remember how and when I got there, but the detials of some parts are unclear and if my brain chooses not to remember it; I trust it - I don't need to know them! :-)

GREAT FUN

got my results!

Got my marks! yay!

82 for the first exam
88 for the second one! (highest ever for this exam -I shouldn't gloat at all; as I think I did make quite a pig's bum of my PA!)
and
80 for assignments: damn Moot Court - I am crap at being a lawyer!

never mind - some lawyers are very gay. lol Going to celebrate tonite - lets get absolutely messed! BBQ here we come!

in town, a friend, meet others, film, no sound?

I look around at the train station, where would she be? Where should I really be looking at? hmmm.... but, Bingo! I hear a call of my name- and there she is. Niki is visiting me in Strasbourg. she is going to spend the next two days doing mingling and looking around town.

So, we have organized a small get-to-gether to at Paul,Arthur and Christian's house where we are going to watch a few films, munch on nibbles, drink some or many wine bottles and use a projector - a little home theatre effort! :-)

We got to PAC's : its really nice to see everyone a bit relaxed after the big stupid 'lets change our project after 27 people have been doing1 week of full time work' [lets not talk about that!], in a warm atmosphere, Jimmy and Rob make up their mind that we should watch 'eternal sunshine and the spotless mind' but Niki and Aurelie want to watch the Mummy. So gals win! :-)

We start watching the mummy, but we don't have any sound system attached. So, we can have our own interpretation and commentary to it! Fantastic! it was hilarious

And then, something happens, we get bored of the mummy, or it finishes -I don't quite know which one it was. But then we get sound and we watch super troopers: I am too busy making jokes, and taking funny angle pictures of Rob sleepy (next to aurelie's boobs!) lol. Anyhow, then we watch the videos of the SSP presentations. 'oh, thats fascinating!'

at around 2 o'clock, we decided to call it a nite and Jimmy very kindly gave us a lift back home! Oh, I am a bit sleepy this morning! *big big yawn*

bored

I thought my past two posts were very boring - so terribly sorry to everyone who keeps an eye out on this site... but I am ever so disappointed to find the 'knitting podcaster's' blog is more popular! :-s

Well, check her and her bad self: she does a knitting podcast! (WHAT? "P%$%*@#$!!!") and posts with 'knit for peace day' followed by 'knitting nazi'... http://www.pointysticks.org/

Anyway, I should really get stop wasting the only 10 mins I get free checking stupid things like that. [In my defence, I was looking for poi sticks - the fire juggling stuff; and got pointysticks for some reason! - well done, Google!]

hate being bored...
http://www.homeofpoi.com/

model, modelling and a sensible debate

Piotr, one of our Polish team mates is correct: when my team project sits around the designated work room in a 'round table' we become the UN and cannot ever reach any decision until we have boiled each other's brains about tiny details!

lol... today for once, we had a good chat - understanding and making an effort to accomodate all the different teams' opinions! Still, im spent!

Had a meeting for Yuri's night and we have a lot to do, but I think its looking bright - looking like a good party is in order! :-)

Can't wait to party my bum off.

schools in!

TP start!

ready... steady... go, stop, debate, start again, stop, ...

:-) but its fun - we are making some progress. 1 day in and tomorrow we summarize what we did today

Two of our teachers are leaving this week - one of which is my personal advisor (sad to see him leave, he is really good mentor), so we had lots of free wine and nibbles (with some really nice japanese sake! - yum when not warm)

Went to Jimmy and Catherine's house for a chillout movie and some veggie pizza (they have given up meat for lent!) We saw 'the interpreter', which was excellent!
I return home and I am shattered!

better today!

Oh, that entry from yesterday was full of rants - I do apologize for that whingy, moany give off! Anyhoo, well rested and in a better mood. I forgot that there was a printemps carnival, so I stayed in...but the day was gorgeous! Beautiful sunshine and almost 10/12 deg C. So, heres a cheerful picture (not from today).

This is at the countdown in Amsterdam at New year's! Chris made me a small cd with some of the pictures of our Amsterdam visit on it - thank you so much Chris! :-) You the best babe!

So, enjoy the bright colours - may each day of the new spring be a blast of colours for the eyes and spirits to feast on!

missing planes... hmph!

I missed my plane! Despite of waking up at 4.00, despite of making into central london at that time after a long journey and being ripped off by that fat lady who sold me a ticket for the tube that does not run at 5 am - Denise, you are the London Underground bitch - its official.

Not that I am bitter or anything - its just not good service. I get plenty of that around here in France I don't need to get crap even when I am in UK! I ask her of the timetable as I require a specific train before 5.00 am : she says I ll issue you a ticket first, and then I ask her to give me the timetable she says 'They don't run at 4.25 am - you have to wait till it is 5.30 am! I ask her for a number where I can explain this and cancel this ticket, possibly get a refund : she gives me a taxi company phone number!!! Oh I could give off for ages about this woman!

Anyhoo, I get to stansted - thank you stansted express that has now been added on to the - don't trust this transportation modes. I missed the check in desk by about exactly 3 mins. I had to pay ryanair some more money to be re-routed - bastards! and they transfered me to a flight to Frankfurt Hanh... and the german 'info' lady denied there being any facilities of getting back to France! Well, never mind her stupid pea brain, I got a bus to a place called Saarbrucken - its near the French side in Germany.

Saarbrucken: a collective pool of some choice (crappy) flea markets, average high street shops, some very dodgy student club nites (club nite called 'istanbul' with dress code : 'nothing or wet') and some very 'interesting' germany s&m and leather specialist shops. For the sake of my sanity, I found some places with familiar sounding names such as 'pizza hut' express lunch service and 'h& m' - that I killed the whole 3 and half hr wait for the train - Voila!

On the train was this weird guy who walked up to every woman (i think) and asked her for their phone number - he tried me first, I had finally found peace in the last chapters of 'Life of Pi' and was too engrossed to have any respect for such intrusion - so I pretended to be dumb - I replied only with sign language... I was going to leave feeling guilty about this later, but instead I felt very good as I found he and the ticket driver having a loud conversation that included the word 'polize' a lot of times! no harms done! hee hee... pretending to be dumb is a good way to get rid of stupid rogue characters like him -definitely!

Got home, finally; another home I mean - which is nice. :-)

Friday, March 17, 2006

ah, to be sure!

To be sure, to be sure, to be sure!
Top o'the World!


Happy St Patrick's Day everyone!

Go mbeannai Dia duit
(may god bless you!)

day at uni

Went up to uni - had a good chat with Eddie, Keri and Gary Lock... Briefly saw other mates - Paul Riggs, Lew (good luck for running the mini-marathon of Bath). Eddie and Chris are incharge of sorting live entertainment (you know, that kind!) for Andy's Stag Doo!

Eddie and I have this rather weird but funny conversation. I know it would humour Andy, but probably wont go down the same hit for Sally. Andy has 4 (or so) 'best men' designated for his wedding - personally I think he is building in contingency in case of food poisoning epidemic, last minute nerves and running away from wedding-syndrome, the general probability of someone dying of smoking or being run away by bus or that one of them wins the lottery and buys a yatch that Dan and I can sail in to Spain with and pleads to join us on the adventure - you know, that sort of thing).

So, by the christian logic of why there generally is a 'best man' (for those who don't know; its so that he would take care of the bride in case something happens to the groom)... there would be 4 people who would have to 'marry' or 'take care' or 'time-share' Sally if Andy suffers from any adversaries of health due to excessive partaking of booze/tea/lentils- whatever they are planning to use to intoxicate themselves! lol

Eddie kept chuckling away at the thought of it when I mentioned, it would be very much like the time share villa one buys in Devon! :-)

Anyhoo, I don't know if Andy or Sally read this ever, so I think the conversation and Eddie's position as one of the 'best men' is safe here! But if they do come by this - hope they both have a great great weekend before their wedding and hope they have a great great wedding!

Later in the evening, mum gave us two tickets to go and see a movie at Little theatre. We saw Syriana - really good movie about the middle east politics and petroleum business. Chris and I also went into to Flan o'briens for a pint of the good stuff. better was the fruity stuff Chris was having - heavily fruity... hmm

Meant to be leaving for london tomorrow...

I wish I could breathe

Meeting everyone is great - being home and amongst people whose company I enjoy is superb; however, I wish I could breathe! I caught this nasty cold and fever from Strasbourg...

We cook chilli today and have dinner all together again! :-)

its a good sunny day in Bath

flat tyres and coming home

Oh yeh, fresh and fine - I get to the airport shuttle, get to the plane: its like clockwork. Only that, its freeeeeezing: the digi weather reader at the airport shows -14 (I have to say, I feel colder when I read it than before - ignorance is bliss as they say!)

So, I have no idea what the plans are to get back, but currently I am heading back 'home' for 4days. I get to see mum, teju, chris and eddie, keri, fran and possibly shorty ... lets see. So, travelling from France to UK - not a problem. The jet engine was invented and has been tested in the span of last 50 or so years extensively; which allows me to traverse a distance of 771.3km (+55.1km: Source - mappy.com!) in 1hr20mins.

swift!

Now, the 156.7km from London Central to Bath take more than 6 hrs! Guess why? yeh, some sort of bus/coach problem: first a diesel leak and then a flat tyre, which was replaced by a rather abusive driver who was NOT happy driving a bus on a tuesday midafternoon! hmm... One day, I am going to buy those rocket racing jet packs to get to Bath - you better mark these words! A Segway would have got me home quicker!

Anyhoo, I get to Bath - and get a quick shower to join my civilized family for dinner! Chris joins us for dinner and oh yum! No one can beat mum's khichdi-kadhee! I realised during dinner (and I think the other did as well) of how long I had been craving this - no shame, no harm: I finished every single grain and drop of Kadhee that was hoping to go uneaten! lol

yum yum yum... oh I feel hungry again

It was lovely to see Chris! Paul Reilly said to me in an email - 'have fun at one of many homes': its true. Its the beauty of human nature- home is where your family is, home is in the arms of someone you adore, home is where your teddy bear is (or your own pillow, or whatever! ...:-) ) It felt good to be in Bath - not much has changed, apart from some high-street shops and some extensive scaffolding nearby 'the grapes'.

sorting stuff out

Wow, we humans have spun such a web of bureaucracy around us - we are never going to get out of it! its everywhere - you keep going round and round in this long-distance train which makes you stop at every single desk, where you are met with sighs (the kind of you can do whilst you blow a lot of air out of your mouth and nod sideways in a pendulum sort of way - think of the french, and you know what I mean!)

[does not apply to Olivia - as she is only person I know who works enough to make up for the entire country!]

But, every officer has his/her own problem, their own hesitation and their own buffer around a lunchbreak! If anyone wants to invade France , ever, lunchtime (Paris time: 12.00-14.00) is the best time to do so. [Just for reference, in case any of you were going to do that] Any matter of whatever importance gets put aside - such is the power of the mighty baguette!

Well, rant over: I had a sorting out day - in order to face my nightmares and go around zillions of desk to get, renew, claim, cash for insurance, medical cover, student allowance, blah blah blah and so on, so forth!

Its really really cold - my landlady tells me that its -7 degrees, I generally think she only says that in order to justify why its cold in my bedroom, but I open up the online weather page and at 2.00 am in the morning its -12... I am about to get into bed: can't wait to feel snug as a bug untill early tomorrow morning when I get to go 'home'!

you ve got to do that sometime!

Party was good last night - albeit, in the club 'java' with some cheesy music (They played one song I really enjoyed - MYLO: 'MF drop the pressure' , and I was the only ONE person in the club who knew it and bobbed away madly to it, as the crowd cleared the dancefloor instantly. And it was quickly intercepted by some other cheese track from the 80s in the desparate attempt to get the crowd that had just caused a surge at the beer pumps and cigarette machines!

*hmph*

Anyhoo, in my plan for today was doing something I haven't done before... I haven't been to a cinema to see any english film alone: so I went and saw CRASH (or Collision as they call it in France)!

EXTREMELY GOOD.

There is this really cute bit about a small gal in there - absolutely adorable! Reminded me of the video that Anne-Marie (Rob's girlfriend) showed me yesterday... The story has a small kid who is led to believe that she has an invisible cloak given to her by her father which makes her unpentrable from bullets, etc. Theres a scene, when her father is held at gun point in front of her and she runs to him and takes the bullet for him (and I am not going to spoil the good bit for you - something happens)... It was so adorable what the gal did... I didn't cry, I wept. So did the guy next to me and 4 of his other male mates!

You ve got to see it. Really moving.
...
peace man!

Schools out!

WWOOOOOHHHHOOOOO!

My O my! 3 days, 6 hrs of sleep and a 3 day, 2 night stay at school. Finally, I have to say, I really enjoyed the work (I know it sounds weird!) but I learnt about chromosomes, genes and how a small fraction of our genetic make-up that lives an extremely tiny and finite life changes what we would be for the entire life time...

I have to say, the human body is incredible!

For those who are thinking: what the blinking hell am I on about?, I did my thesis on using osteoporosis research done so far on Earth in space to see why our bones go weak and what all clinical treatments can be used?

I have heard all these terms and treatments - HRT, PTH and other TLAs which make doctors on ER sounds like they know a lot, but never knew what exactly they mean and what the side effects can be. When one looks at the human body -its such a complex machine, I would love for some one to map out (and this is going to sound absolutely and utterly geeky!) all the signalling pathways as a control system.

We understand so little about our bodies, its worrying! God (if he did shape us all with his own fair and godly hands), should have really provided us with a user's manual - would have helped...

anyhoo, if anyone is interested, I can forward the paper to you - I enjoyed researching this subject, especially because it was kind of preparing for my work on the possible 'gene sequencing' cup at the internship. so, yeh, its finally in....

I was finally leaving university and almost feeling guilty for ditching the couch I had been sleeping on; and found a crate of beer left on behalf of the university (Cheers guys, we love you all!) : I had to oblige - felt like quite an alcoholic enjoying a beer all by myself!

I get home, my heads still in the fuzzy state, I start reading my new book and finally my body gives in to some very well deserved sleep: I slept more in the daytime nap than I had for all of the previous 3 days! craziness.

now off to town for some 'getting completely messed up!' ! :-))

many drops make an ocean!

Ah, fresh sunning morning...

The kids in the neighbourhood school playground bask in the sun, some kick about a ball, the girls skip around and the wee lil boys pull their long braided hair as they bounce in the morning air!

nice! I lay in bed, looking over this sight - its youthful energy bouncing at me, thinking of good old school fun with long recesses dedicated to running around in the sun, feeling the wind in your hair and playing whatever game we perceived to be 'cool' at the time: basketball, dodgeball, handball, cricket, hide and seek, rounders, god! we played them all!

Just then I realise that my wakening up is intercepting with their recess!, which only means that I AM TERRIBLY LATE FOR STARTING MY DAY! (Just when I think theres a silver lining to every cloud; the bloody cloud pours down on me!)... anyhoo, make it to school and get cracking at the pa work.

Now, I learned so many new words by doing this PA! My vocabulary in the field of biology has suddenly sprung to be four-fold! Great!

When I saw the last two episodes of the series Friends, Rachael gets off the plane for Paris when she is told that there is a problem in the 'phalanges' of the plane! I remember Lew asking me a few times - do we know what a 'phalange' is? Well now, although I have written the aircraft familiarization course for Airbus, it still remains to be developed whether a 'phalange' is also a name given to something within any system/sub system of an aircraft - however, I do know how the x-ray densitometry graph (in different forms) of a finger phalange looks like!

yes, many drops make an ocean... the same way that many phrases from different authors are currently confusing me A LOT! :-s

2 days to go, bee...is all I say. Then there is something I can't quiet remember that I can get excited about: oh, that ll be trying to sell myself to different places for something people term as a job. mmmm...erm.

Oh, but I do get to go 'home' soon after that. Fun!
talking of fun, I am going to put a couple of pictures from Catherine's birthday.

Smiles for all... and a poor-pierced through matt!


This is us a few days back at the sushi place -o h y u m m o ! (Man, I look fat in that picture- its kinda fish-eyed! I assure you that was just the tonne of sushi I had had that night!)

an ickle bit of advertisement

Anyone who wants a good laugh has to listen to Chris Moyles on Radio 1!

They have one of the best jingles too, now! podcast available! :-)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chrismoyles/features/bestofmoyles.shtml

laters all!

Some really practical advice enclosed....

Yo!

Hello everyone! how is the outside world today. In an attempt to cope with my extremely penniless state, I didn't drink last nite despite of various kind offers of being donated a drink... I slept at 3 am and got up at 3 pm. Man, I have to say, when I sleep drunk, I atleast have something to blame a large pounding headache. Now it seems that the whole two grey brain cells that are left in my head have achieved some sort of exotic energy from somewhere and are bouncing on all sorts of walls inside me head!

OUCHY!

anyhoo, apart from that, had a really good nite - with all friends in the favourite-strasbourg-beer-establishment: LA Lanterne! :-)

It was nice to get rid of the bad mood that the exam left me in: Build a private space station: and yes, Chris - this time you have to show all mods required to do this! (yeh, ok, not like the smallest nut and bolt - but you are re-designing a spacecraft for goodness sake!) Anyhoo, I couldn't finish everything I wanted to and had to write: which is why I wondered- How many exams do I have to do in life to not know time-management better!?

silly gal, bee.

Alright, rants aside: I have to finish my thesis now.
So, I wondered in my sleepy state at 2 pm this afternoon. How am I gonna get off this planet. I had remembered that Douglas Adam had said something about this in his preface for THHGG (The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy) and looked it up... For anyone who wonders about this question, heres what to do:

How to Leave the Planet:
1.
Phone NASA. Their phone number is (731) 483-3111. Explain that it's very important that you get away as soon as possible.
2. If they do not cooperate, phone any friend you may have in the White House - (202) 456-1414 - to have a word on your before with the guys at NASA
3. If you don't have any friends at the White House, phone the Kremlin (ask the overseas operator for 0107-095-295-9051). They don't have any friends there either (at least, none to speak of), but they do seem to have a little influence, so you may as well try.
4. If that also fails, phone the Pope for guidance. His telephone number is 011-39-6-6982, and I gather his switchboard is infallible.
5. If all these attempts fail, flag down a passing flying saucer and explain that it's vitally important you get away before your phone bill arrives.

Great advice, but clearly the book is so 80s! (an overseas operator!? - I remember one of those used to exist when I was a wee lass).

My revision: come to ISU, we are gonna make our own flying saucers! well, all in good time. I am serious.

Ok, I should now remove all the effect of the paper bomb that hit my room during the exam preparations (I even had the stapler next to me on my bed - managed to staple a sheet of paper on the sleeve of my night tee-shirt!)

Friday, March 03, 2006

I ve given up Chicken, Turkey and as of the latest news Cats (if I ever to eat one! ever!) for lent. Any bird flu items - no no no, I ve got to live and go off to Mars someday. No bird for me. :-)

Whats popular in terms of sin-bin for lent? lemme know!

arty (f)arty space?

Still procrastinating ove exams.... 3 hrs to go, and 3 weeks to cover.

but, here's my contribution to an interesting fact of the day. [Strictly over 15s only!]

Andy Warhol has just graduated at the top of my lists for pop-art-ists. Why?

The Moon Museum, was a ceramic plate taken on the Apollo 12 mission to the moon, on which a few american artists were allowed to draw something as a message. Andy, given this opportunity and privilege drew an penis on it. He s a funny one.

laters y'all!
