Ipod medium May 2010

Ipod dear ipod, what's in store for me

Principle:
Playing with your shufle music player
Go to your music player of choice, and put it all on "shuffle." Say the following questions aloud, and after each one press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question.

  • What do you think of me, random music player?
Here today - The Beach Boys
"It starts with just a little glance now
Right away you're thinkin' 'bout romance now
You know you ought to take it slower"


Not sure you understood the question dear Ipod, but somehow you're right on the spot :(

  • Will I have a long and happy life?
Submarine - Bjork
"Do it now
Shake us out of the
heavy deep sleep"

Hum..... do you mean stop procrastinating, might be right....

  • What do my friends really think of me?
Billy Jean - cover by DuoDithyrambe


"She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one"


Somehow i doubt it ....

  • What does my S/O think of me?
Krazy Krush - Mrs Dynamite

"Long time I been waitin' to get next to you,
Long time I been anticipatin' the things that I wanna do,
Long time I been feenin' just for one kiss,"

Ouch does not look good for me, Mr Ipod


  • Do people secretly lust after me?
Someday - The Strokes

Someday, ... may be there's hope ;)

  • How can I make myself happy?
One good man - Janis Joplin
"Honey, I love to go to parties
And I like to have a good time, "


Oh.... looks it's gonna be party time....


  • What should I do with my life?
Digifucker - Fight Like Apes

And i thought i spend enough time in front of a computer...

  • Why must life be so full of pain?
Searching - Erykha Badu
"I am searching ..."
Good one

  • How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
Yayabo - P18
Oh yeah !!!

  • Will I ever have children?
Black Hearted Love - PJ Harvey

"I think i saw you in the shadow"
Not sure how i can interpret that

  • Will I die happy?
Dazed and confused - Led Zeppelin
"Been dazed and confused for so long..."

Oh man, looks about right. Never contest what Robert says....


  • Can you give me some advice?
Jack in the Green - Jethro Tull
"Have you seen Jack-In-The-Green?
With his long tail hanging down.
He sits quietly under every tree --"

May be i should spend more time in the forest :D
  • What do you think happiness is?
I'am only sleeping - THe Beatles

"When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream "

Not sure daydreaming sound right....
  • Do you have any advice to give over the next few hours/days?
Hunting for witches - Block Party
"i'm sitting on the roof of my house
With a shotgun and a six pack of beer"

the 6 pack beer sounds a good idea, going with a shotgun in the street of Limerick not so much


Better than any medium, at least cheaper.

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...

2009 - A summary, top ten things....

A summary of the 2009 year in picture.



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.

    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.
    Who's there ?

  • 90 years ago, my granddad was born, just had to celebrate his birthday.

  • 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.
