BT - The Great Escape

I found this remix version of The Great Escape by BT. It is made in expressiong of love by a man to his wife and soon to be born child. The nature scenery of the world and a fetus completely melts in with the song.

la Ronde et les Feux du monde

I didn't have chance to post last night, but I went to La Ronde the amusement park on Île Sainte-Hélène, off Vieux-Montréal with friends from Victoria and Germany.
We had a blast even though it rained for a bit during the day and Fyl, David and I were waiting in it for The Goliath to start back up while Lea waited in shelter. (Lea is mucho afraid of roller-coasters!)

The Montreal Fireworks Festival was on its final night at La Ronde as Great Britain was announced winner of this years international fireworks festival. It was simply magnificent! I should remember to post the photos and videos when my Mac is fixed...

Tiësto ft. BT - Break My Fall

First time I saw a collaboration between Tiësto and BT. I love his voice. The woman featured is BT's life partner and child bearer, Ashley

Chicane - Offshore

I found Chicane while listening to the radio at work. That where I find all my music these days.
I've downloaded a more ambient version of Offshore without the dance, but I have to admit, this trance version would be oh so good for clubbing. Came out in 1996 but still New Age in 2007!

the First Lady

Shinzo Abe, has been the Prime Minister of Japan since September 26, 2006 when the National Diet held an election during a special session. Elected at 52, he is the youngest Prime Minister since Fimimaro Kobe in 1941.

Well, in a recent photo my father sent me, my mother seems to be the Prime Ministers's First Lady! Protected by all the guards behind with the fake Statue of Liberty in Odaiba, Tokyo, I don't know how she got to get so close. Well the guards behind Abe sure don't look happy.

no Juice?

Thankfully our Sun doesn't have "power outages" or we would risk having our days shunned into darkness suddenly as was the case for many people this morning around 9:30 downtown Montreal.

Our boss was yelling from her office this morning, "Did you know something blew up and a whole chunk of downtown doesn't have power?" (Apply a strong british woman accent here)

So far what I can google-up is that the blackout extends from Rue Guy to Bleury (west-east) and Avenue du Pins to Notre-Dame (north-south) which is indeed "a whole chunk downtown" Montreal. Our office building is just a few blocks away from Guy, which is why I can still blog here. But hm...I kind of wished we were included in the outage. It would have been hectic but at least the workday would have been short. The metro seems to be working fine which is a life saver since I practically live on it. By that I mean I can't get anywhere without it.

It reminds me of the massive power outage Tokyo experienced last August while I was back in Japan visiting my parents. We woke up in the morning to hear on the news that the capital city had been crippled by a single craneship passing down Edo river. With the cranes raised, but ship had brushed and shorted a high-voltage power line feeding eastern Tokyo. If that is what a small human error can cause, I cannot imagine what a planned attack could do to the Japan's throbbing core.





I wonder what the skyline will look like tonight in Montreal.

Janet's t**s

So one of my coworkers just set the quote of the day. Janet is this 50 ish old woman, and wobbles between the office and kitchen, but kind and haha sort of out there.

Well just not I saw her go over to the automatic stapler mumbling "Oh, why doesn't this thing work" while bending down, it seemed like she was trying to staple quite an amount of paper.

But as the thing went kaplunk and she got up, she nad nothing in her hands! So I just asked her:
"Janet, did you just staple your clothes?!"

She goes with her crazy smile:
"Why yes I did! I just couldn't stand seeing my tits anymore!

We all burst into laughter as the front of her cardigan was awkwardly stapled shut, now hiding her "tits".

Oh Janet.
