Revoir Clermont....
Spend a week back in France, and use a day to go back to Clermont, walking back to memory lane.
Walking errantly through the small streets...
Discovering old sculptures on the wall...
Finding even poseidon...
Remembering what a proper cinema is, with an interesting choice...
In display that day: "A Serious Man" the ferocious latest Cohen, "A Single Man", ....
Passing in Vercingetorix shadow...
Seeing the cathedral.
And finally re-discovering the beauty of the Lecoq garden...

And to get in line with the annual top ten from Time, here's my personal top ten for 2009.
- Movie: Pixar Up
The 10 first minutes are absolutely fantastic in term of story telling. And I got my quote of the year: "I hid under your porch, because I love you".... - Galway Volvo Ocean Race
In June, the Volvo Ocean Race visited Galway, fantastic atmosphere in town. - Halloween in Mickey Martin
One of the best party of the year. - Irish seals
2009, will be the year where I saw most seals, the first one were down in Cork in Union Hall basking in early march/april
Then we saw one or 2 venturing regularly near Kilkee. - 90 years ago, my granddad was born, just had to celebrate his birthday.
- Concert: Mick Flannery in Dolans
- Snorkel with Dolphin in Milton Malbay
On of the most amazing encounter in the sea, as i was training for duck diving in Miltown Malbay, a curious dolphin came to see what i was doing... - PS3 Game: Assassins Creed 2
Finished it but still addicted to that game by now... have to wait for the third installment, now. - Obama election / French politics
Big hope from the USA with Obama election, and at the same time in France... the left wing are left arguing between themselves in front of a media omnipresent president. - ASM 10th final... lost again....
No comment. Congratulations to Perpignan.

Reeling the years (2009)
Following the post from last year, let's make that a yearly tradition.
The idea is very simple and based on a simple question: Where was i 5 years ago, 10, 15 ...etc ?
So let's go back in time by 5 years leap...
2004
Location: Grenoble, France
My last year, in Grenoble, a very strange year indeed, between "successful" promotion at work ( project and people management ), both great and tumultuous friendship moments... anyway that's the year I've decided i had to leave my job in Grenoble, and go abroad to see if things are different; at the time I had no idea of the country I would end up.
1999
Location: Clermont-Ferrand, France
In Auvergne, studying physics in Blaise Pascal University. Spending lots of time hanging out in cinemas and most notably in the Short movie festival.
1994
Location: Hauterive, France / Lycee Presles, Cusset
Failing the Baccalauréat
1989
Location: Hauterive, France / College Victor Hugo, Saint Yorre
I was not in Berlin for the wall fall.
1984
Location: Hauterive, France / Ecole primaire
France is winning the UEFA Euro_1984, and guess what everybody playing soccer, in the recreational area.
My parents now owns the local shop in the village.
1979
I am no longer the only kid in the house, as my brother just born in March, we're still living in my grand father house in Hauterive, Allier, France.
