My anglo friends might be pleased to learn that the great tv series La Vie la vie, which aired on Radio-Canada a couple of years ago, is now showing on CBC every Monday night, just after midnight. It’s part of The Best of French Canada series, which airs qu�b�cois programs with English subtitles.

If you tune in next Monday you’ll only have missed the first couple of episodes, which were not the best anyway. Find out what all the fuss was about! It’s a great show. Even the hard to please Capitaine liked it!

� Los Angeles, les habitants d’un �difice ont d�cid� de publier un blogue, question de faciliter la communication entre eux. J’ai lu �a chez Darren Barefoot, qui explique qu’il habite lui-m�me dans un gratte-ciel de Vancouver qui a aussi son propre site Web. Il raconte qu’il y a m�me des cam�ras dans le gymnase et � la piscine, ce qui permet aux locataires de l’�difice de v�rifier l’achalandage des lieux.

Plut�t pratique! J’imagine bien la sc�ne: « Regarde ch�ri, les Bougon sont encore � la piscine! On va attendre qu’ils s’en aillent avant d’aller se baigner. »

Laura Fraser explains very well why I stopped being a vegetarian (which I was for about 4 years during my twenties).

I also agree with the arguments in Why it is rude to diet in public.

I am reading Laura Fraser’s An Italian Affair, a memoir I am enjoing very much and recommend to everybody, even if you’ve never had your heart broken, been to Italy and/or had an affair with a sophisticated married man.

I had read the first few chapters of this book when they were first published in Salon years ago. It’s full of talk about food, men, travel, sex, San Francisco and Italy. Makes me feel carnivorous.
