So I thought this article was pretty interesting. Apparently, the following terms came first from science fiction:

10. Blast off

9. Robotics

8. Genetic engineering

7. Zero gravity

6. Deep space

5. Ion dive (?)

4. Pressure suit

3. Virus

2. Worm

1. Gas giant

Cold

2012-01-22T12:23:00.005-05:00

Last time I had a cold was when I was a little kid, and I've been so proud of that fact! ... But my streak has ended because this weekend, I've been pretty

All stuffed up, soar throat, headachy, shivery, phlegmy, tired, no appetite... Yesterday I stayed in all day, a first since I moved out in the summer. I watched too much TV and 3 movies (Billy Elliot, Intolerable Cruelty & Crazy Stupid Love) and cuddled with Moky Beara whose sick too! She's been throwing up all over my apartment... Cold sickly winter weekends are no fun!

Bicycle Superhighway

2012-01-17T22:06:00.005-05:00

A swedish town is developing a bicylcle superhighway!

The proposed bicycle superhighway would, in addition to four lanes (2 in each direction) have exits but no intersections, two types of wind protection (low bushes as well as solid fencing) periodic bicycle service stations, and would take eight years to complete.

We need one here!!

A Rolling Stone

2012-01-05T20:38:00.006-05:00

Yesterday my bus didn't show up so I took the metro. Being a bitter cold kind of early January morning, I passed a lot of homeless people finding refuge in the underground city. A particular homeless man made me slow down and really take notice as he was listening to a little portable radio that was playing a Rolling Stone's song. He seemed content and really enjoying the tune, but a wave of sadness came over me. The feeling stayed with me all day...

2012 Resolutions

2011-12-30T22:07:00.004-05:00

1. Work out more seriously. I miss that feeling of pride I used to get after a great emptying workout. This year wont be about trainers or races, just pushing hard.

2. After being focused on my rather corporate job in the finance industry for the past 6 months, I plan to focus more on my artistic side. I'm going to write more, read more, play my guitar, discover new music and new ideas.

3. Make more of an effort to foster friendships. I'm not the best at forming strong friendships- I can be distant and tend to choose spending time with my Moky Bear (cat) on a Friday night (like tonight!) rather than go out...

Love it!

I'm Busy!

2011-10-12T22:32:00.013-04:00

I know I haven't been Blogging a lot as of late, but I have an excuse:

It has been a crazy busy summer for me, I don't even know where to begin!! Since I got my very own spacious lovely apartment, most of my time (after weeks of freaking out over actually having to move out) has been spent fixing it up and making it into a home- which I wouldn't have been able to do without the support and help of my family! Though I still have a lot of projects and To-Do Lists left to tackle, I have more of a routine now and promise to Blog more frequently!

I'll start with some pictures of my Moka just hanging out chez moi:

Moka's in a box, helping me unpack.

Here she is on top of my fridge...

it's her new favorite spot!

After a long day of unpacking, she's sleeping behind the kitchen curtains...

Claude, qu'est ce qui c'est passé avec Etienne?

2011-07-28T22:08:00.007-04:00

On est mardi dernier, le 19. Il fait chaud, très chaud, 42° dehors et il est 21h.
Etienne, 28 ans, décide de réparer la ligne d'alimentation du propane dans sa tente roulotte. Vacances obligent!
Il est torse nu. Cela aura une incidence sur les événements.
Soudain l'explosion (encore inexpliquée).
Etienne est projeté par le souffle violent dehors. La tente, elle, est complètement démolie et brûle.
Etienne, qui n'a pas perdu connaissance, se lève et se dirige à la porte d'entrée de sa maison. Porte qu'il ouvre, mind you!
"Chérie! appelle le 911!" Elle n'a rien entendu, le four sonnait au même moment!
Etienne sort et s'écrase sur le gazon, visage contre terre et hurle à la mort.
46% de son corps est brûlé au 3e degré. Le dos, le thorax et les mains sont les plus atteints!
"Donnez-moi une piqûre, quelqu'un, je ne sens plus mes mains!"
Les voisins arrivent. Quelqu'un a déjà un boyau et arrose Etienne. Sa peau steame comme le ferait un morceau de bois qu'on éteindrait avec de l'eau!
On met des serviettes mouillées sur lui.
Denise, sa mère, est à côté. Elle le réconforte.
"Etienne, respire comme je te l'ai déjà montré pour contrôler la souffrance!" Et Etienne d'essayer.
Denise remarque que les mains d'Etienne ne sont pas brisées comme elle pensait mais que c'est plutôt la peau en lambeau qui pend au bout des doigts.
Richard, son père, lui, ne peut tout simplement pas cope avec ce qu'il voit. Il détourne la tête et se met à parler avec les pompiers. D'ailleurs, il n'est pas encore allé visiter son fils à l'hôpital. Il en est incapable.
L'ambulance arrive. Le premier paramedic à sortir, c'est Guillaume, le frère d'Etienne, qui se met à pleurer.
Mais il faut se dépêcher, la gorge d'Etienne s'obstrue. Il est à l'orée d'une embolie pulmonaire.
In extremis, le seul chirurgien présent à l'hôpital St-Eustache le sauvera. Et vite à l'Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal. 7e étage, les grands brûlés.
Depuis, il y a eu la pneumonie, la fièvre, le coma artificiel dans lequel on le gardera encore deux semaines.
Et je ne parle pas des greffes, de la physio à vif et des changements de pansements.
On parle d'une cinquante de brûlures majeures. D'un bon trois mois de rafistolage. D'un à deux ans de réhabilitation.
Quand il ne restera de ce soir-là que quelques cicatrices, Etienne aura 30 ans...

Weekend

2011-07-25T22:15:00.003-04:00

- Put together/bought some (a lot of!) furniture for my fancy new place
- Watched the end of the Tour

- Brought Moka to the vet (again) because she's a very sick kitty :(
- Was shocked to hear about Amy Winehouse's death

HOT

2011-07-22T23:44:00.002-04:00

Ok, so it's hot. No, BOILING out (47 degrees Celsius)!!

It's times like this that we have to remind ourselves how long we suffer through the winter and that we should appreciate the heat while it lasts!!

Weekend

2011-07-17T20:39:00.010-04:00

- Moved boxes into my new place*
- Spent too much money on my new place
- Lots and lots of cuddling with my new love Moka
- Listened to some new tunes:

dondante- my morning jacket

waves- tribes of the city

into the night- azari & III

* Last month, I got a new apartment (!!!) on the same day I got a new job (!!!)

I'm so excited!!

My friend Hugo started feeding a bony homeless kitty, and soon enough, she wouldn't leave! Already having a cat of his own, he needed to find someone to take over and provide a good home for her. He had asked if I knew anyone who could adopt a cat, but I said no. It was only when he asked me a second time that I considered adopting her myself...

So tonight I picked her up! After a few hours of hiding under the couch, she quickly warmed up to her new environment. Thank you Hugo (& Hugo's mom for giving her such a cute name). Meet Moka:

Goodbye Thursday Spinning

2011-06-16T21:20:00.000-04:00

Today I attended my all time favorite lunch time spinning class with my all time favorite instructor J-L. His i-pod wasn't working so he played an old mix where the very last song was James Blunt's Goodbye My Lover. Listening to the song while we were stretching, I felt really really sad because it was quite possibly the last time I could attend the class. I finally got myself a respectable 9-5/Mon-Fri job which I start on June 27th! Though I'm relieved to be moving up at The Bank, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to go to the gym during my lunch hour anymore :( I actually felt like I was saying goodbye to a lover, someone who had consistently made me feel great no matter what. I'm going to miss that class so so much...
