I've uploaded this video a while ago on youtube and totally forgot to post it here. The quality is really crappy, though really better in HQ,  I'm sorry about that. I had this idea for a long time : There's an obvious parallel between the resistance in France during the WW2 and the one on New Caprica. Here's a modest attempt at pointing them out.

It may be old news to you but I just found this site and they have the perfect item for all the fangirls around here... I present to you....

I'm back from Prague!

I had a great time there : we went to the opera, to the jazz concert, drank lot of wine and ate tons of goulash :)
The opera was absolutely fabulous (even if it was in german subtitled in cszech,) and it reminded me of so many great memories, when I used to sing those songs for school when I was 11 (and it makes me realise that my teacher was crazy... For gods sake, Dreigroschenoper is about sex, gangs and prostitutes, I don't think as a teacher I would have the balls to make the same choices). Two words : Brecht rules!

The city is still beautiful though much tidier and modern than in 1994, when I first came. I'm not sure I like it that way because it's really weird to see streets full of the same shops you have in France (Bata, Promod,...) and you have to wonder about national identity and economy...
But what's funny is that we, western europeans, still think of these countries as kind of retarded or like places where you can party but not live. It's not the case AT ALL. First, culture is everywhere and you don't have to be Bill Gates to afford it! And people are much more polite and calmer than in France. The tramways, buses and subways are awesome! Always in time, very clean and quiet... I kind of envy my sister in law who lives there and it really made me rethink about this old envy of mine to move abroad.

So if you know any school in the US or Canada who's looking for a french teacher, let me know :)

For now, I'm back home, I have lots of terrible papers to grade tomorrow and I'm already looking forward to my next break...



And did I say I loved autumn and its colours (half my pictures have yeloow/red leaves on them), and that I hated my hair?

I've started to play with textures recently and it's really fun. Hope you enjoy the result!

First time using Sony Vegas which is a great software, but I don't really like the result, it's too narrative and lacks rythm. I guess I'll just have to make more videos to improve my skills...

Sorry for spamming your flist but I had to reupload my A/R video since I made some changes. This version has a better quality and is hopefully improved.
This video is all about Bill and Laura's common dreams and struggles for a place to settle and live life as people again.

SPOILERS till REVELATIONS

For once, I was watching french televison, which I never do. I fell upon, Manu Katche's music show. I got hooked because Kerenn Ann was singing. Only a guitar, it was like listening to a french woman version of Bob Dylan. Delightful.
And then, came Moonlight Sessions. And my world fell appart. It was like listening to Neil Young from After the gold rush to Dead Man, with Lou Reed's voice and Cohen's lyrics. OMG, I'm in love.

 

If A/R had a holiday, it should be today. Better than Colonial day, the Squee day!

I couldn't resist making icons from the episod but sadly, I've battled a lot with the lights and the colouring, and didn't do justice to the scenes ( I blame my screencaps). At least, I've spent a nice afternoon with my ship and I've learned how to make a LJcut!

Anyway, I'm sure someone more talented will soon come up with some kick-ass icons for me to snag. Until then, feel free to use them.

First BSG icons ever!

Inserting text on icons has never been my forte... And you'll notice I'm also a bit obsessive and can't help making several icons with the same cap! Whatever, I hope you'll enjoy.
