Addictions are bad!

Published by Bea under Life

Our crappy router decided to go to router heaven yesterday. We tried everything on earth to make it work, the IP address just wouldn’t renew. Out of internet service since 7 p.m., havoc, disgust, frustration, LOL! It was a router bought by my old roomies who moved out without leaving an invoice so there was nothing we could do about it. I took matters in my hands, headed for FutureShop early this morning and got us a nice Linksys router which works perfectly and the signal is way faster.

Last night’s scene wasn’t pretty. I think I’m going to sign us up for a 12-Step program on internet addiction. On the other hand, I’m hero of the day and techinically the new router is mine so blackmailing is in my list of things to do if the roomies are not nice, buahaha! Just kidding… Meh!

La Saint-Jean

Published by Bea under Holidays

Been busy and sleeping this weekend. Not quite a separatist, not quite a federalist, but I love this province, its people, its culture, its spirit.

Bonne Saint-Jean à tous !

Tout près du bonheur (Marc Dupré)

Published by Bea under Media

I love this song!

Ils donneraient tout
Pour que leur histoire traverse la nuit
Pour qu’enfin l’amour passe à l’Histoire

Ils s’aiment
Mais ils se demandent si cela suffit
Il faut tellement d’amour, tellement d’espoir

Une vie qui s’éprend d’une autre vie
C’est une fleur après la pluie
Un feu dans le noir

Ce soir…
Le monde est tout près du bonheur
Il tient sur son coeur
Deux amoureux aux yeux remplis d’espoir
Le monde est tout près du bonheur
Au bout de la nuit
Il y a la vie
Qui nous rapproche un peu plus l’un de l’autre

Je ferais tout
Pour que notre histoire échappe à l’ennui
Au-delà des murs du temps qui passe

Je t’aime
Et je n’ sais jamais si cela suffit
J’ai si peur…qu’un jour l’amour se lasse

Toute ma vie
Je l’ai voulue dans ta vie
Et voilà que dans un cri
Un enfant vient de naître

Ce soir…
Le monde est tout près du bonheur
Il tient sur son coeur
Deux amoureux aux yeux remplis d’espoir
Le monde est tout près du bonheur
Au bout de la nuit
Il y a la vie
Qui nous rapproche un peu plus l’un de l’autre

Le monde est tout près du bonheur
Ce soir le monde…
Le monde est tout près du bonheur
Tout près du bonheur
Le monde est prêt pour le bonheur

Ils donneraient tout
Pour que cette histoire traverse la nuit
Qu’au bout des fusils poussent des fleurs
Ils s’aiment
Tenant dans leurs bras l’amour de leur vie
Endormi… tout près du bonheur

The moose & me

Published by Bea under Life

I’m absolutely pooped, but absolutely happy. Spent the day at the Parc National de la Pointe-Taillon on the Lac Saint-Jean. The first time I saw the lake, it was still a little bit frozen, but I finally got to see it in all its splendor. Beautiful, beautiful place! I went with my research project supervisor and the girl who’s going to be working with me during summer. We didn’t do much today, except for choosing the sites where we’re going to do the sampling of insects, but we’ll be visiting the place every other weekend until the end of august.

I’m very excited, I’ll get to start my research and I’m also allowed to collect plant specimens for my “herbier” (I have no idea of how you say that in English). Then there’s the lake, and the beaches, and the birds, and the beavers, and the moose and… Oh my God… I’m going nuts here! This outdoor life is wonderful and this region is breath-taking, I feel so lucky to be here.

Never mind it got quite hot today. Time for sun-tanning!

5 minutes for eternity

Published by Bea under Life, Thoughts

The nicest words I’ve heard in a while, I heard them today when my boss asked me to stay a few extra minutes after the day was over. He called me into his office and I thought “Ooopsie, maybe I did something wrong…” — Well… Nope, he just wanted to tell me that he’s very happy with my work and that he likes the way I handled the reports I was supposed to give him from last week’s tests (”Tu as fait un super beau travail, je suis très content.”) — I just make sure that everything I do is done according to the rules, I put my heart and mind into it, and I have to admit that I’m a little bit of a perfectionist.

We all need this kind of encouragement, especially after spending some time thinking something’s wrong after a failure in life. I see myself as a new person now; strong, independent, decided and much more mature. There’s nothing wrong with saying it, so yes… I so rock and my boss is seeing it! That smile on his face after a job well done sure made my day.

My name’s not Annie, but…

Published by Bea under Media

I sang this song all day at work, feels like me. Annie Waits by Ben Folds.

And so
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call
From a friend
The same
Its the same
Was it always the same?
Annie waits for the last time

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits
Shes growing old
It’s getting late
And so he forgot, he forgot
Maybe not
Maybe hes been seriously hurt
Would that be worse?

Headlights crest the hill
Shadows pass her by and out of sight
Annie sees her dreams:
Friday bingo, pigeons in the park

Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time

Annie says you see this is why Id rather be alone.

And so
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call
From a friend
The same
It’s the same
Was it always the same?
Annie waits as the last…

Headlights crest the hill
Who will be the one for evermore?
Annie, I could be
If were both still lonely when were old

Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time

Annie waits
But not for me.

An Inconvenient Truth

Published by Bea under Media

If you love your planet…
If you love your children…
You will see this film.

That’s the introduction line in the “An Inconvenient Truth” movie website. I had no idea it was out in theatres, but I just received an e-mail from a friend in Toronto who went to see it and highly recommends it. Global warming is not a joke, political stuff aside (I know some people will say Al Gore is a clown and so on, I don’t care…), maybe this is the kind of reminder we need to stop polluting and start thinking of what could happen if we just don’t care about the place we were given to live in.

Watch the trailer.
