We have a ghost.

It's true! I now believe in ghosts cause we have one at home! I don't have a picture of our ghost with me cause i don't have a camera, but here's something i found on the internet.



Seriously though... About a month ago, we were out of toilet paper. Now, I know, that, in itself, is strange enough, but bear with me. So, we were out of toilet paper and it was on a friday, so I asked my dear woman to grab a 4-roll pack on her way back home please, which she does, and as soon as she comes home, we have to leave to go to work. So we leave the 4-roll pack, untouched on the couch in the living room and go to work. We come back in the middle of the night and it's still there. We go to bed and in the morning, following my usual rythm, if you like, I feel the urge to sit down for a few moments and think about what I could do to bring peace to earth. So I go to the living room to grab the 4-roll pack and it's gone. I look everywhere for a long time, turn the house upside down and decide that it's lost and blame it on the ghost. I finally go to the dep and get a new one for les than 2$.

Well, this morning, while looking for my dear pyjama pants, i looked under the bed and POOF! there it was, that 4-roll pack of toilet paper I had forgotten about. The thing is that I had looked about a m illion times under my bed and there had never been anything under there.

Speaking of speed

I was looking up astonishing speed and incredible design on wikipedia when i came across this scorcher. To me this is the best looking gasoline-powered vehicle, ever!

When slowed by a pair of oxen on the road, standard evasive action was simply to use that funny sounding horn! (According to Wikipedia)

Minable





So yeah, I got the boot yesterday night, at 10:00 p.m.
So I went to my friend Antoine to drink it over, and I drank 15 beers, and at 6:00 am this morning, just when my boss got to work, I called her up, because she didnt have the decency to tell my straight up my face right? Like I got to work all the way to fucking montreal est yesterday just to be told by some fucking loser that I'm not working there anymore, no fucking 2 week avis or anything, and so I keep my dignity and I say OK, its allright, you have nothing to do with it, you're just the messenger (cause the boss doesnt have the fucking balls to tell me straight up) and I just leave... and I drank 15 beers with antoine... and now I got back home at 6, and I called the fucking bitch, that worthless cunt, fucking idiotic slightly overweight moron, minable, sans aucune dignité, sans aucune fierté, sans aucune self-fucking respect, she just sent her fucking messenger to tell me I was fired, well thats not how its gonna be bitch, I'm not gonna shut up and leave as if you could do that to me you fucking old hag I'll kill ya, I'll fucking kill ya!!

well thats not what I said... But I did call her at 6:00 am this morning and after trying to get an explanation which she never gave me, I told her, straight up, to her fucking ear : I told her : " Mais c'est minaaaaaaaaaaable"

I told her fucking bitch, and I kept my fucking dignity all the way, all the way.... fucking bitch... I hate you all... go fad;hgadhgkadghdf;kadslkrrrarrrrrrrrrggggg

Speaking of Design

I was looking up titanium on Wikipedia when I came accross this scorcher. To me, this is the best looking plane, ever!

Form Meets Function

I guess this is good timing. I got to my computer with this post already in mind. Turns out it perfectly coincides as the polar opposite of the Hawaian Chair.

Peep this.

Often we hear of dichotomy of function and design. Talking about this ranks right up there with ''What is art?'', ''What IS art?'', ''What is ART?''.

Don't say it. I know that writing about it in a blog is only worse. Nonetheless, I breached the subject because I have recently acquired an object that bridges the divide. Sort of like the iPod, only in a pedal. A clipless pedal. Those are the ones for cycling shoes.

Normal pedal:


Now, say hello to Crank Brothers' Eggbeater:



My babies are in rust resistant stainless steel! The functional advantage of this design is low weight, excellent mud (snow) shedding, easy cleat engagement, great clearance, and other stuff that you don't care about.

Also available is a top-notch titanium version:



But I don't have 425$ to spend on pedals.
