I FINALLY could get the new Midnight Juggernauts album, ha ha!! And I was so lucky because even though I got it two months after its release, the shop had limited and signed editions, yeah!
I really liked the first single This New Technology, but I was rather disappointed by the second one, Vital Signs. And actually, I really liked the album, the first time I listened to it.
The 3 Aussies have kept in line with the previous album, it's rock with a space disco flavour. The first half of the album is really good, the second one, less. Many fans seem to say they have taken too different a direction. I don't think so, not at all actually. Their sound got more perfect. As a result, it may be less... fanciful, let's say. But it's still good.
The song The Great Beyond deserves its name given how high they go in it. Lifeblood Flow, Lara Versus The Savage Pack are very punchy. Regarding The Final Goodbye, I just regret it's not a bit longer, and I hope it's not self-fulfilling.
The lyrics tend to be different from the previous album, Dystopia, as they speak less about galaxies and stars, and more about life itself. You know, when you're a fan, they can talk any bollocks, you're still gonna like it and be much more merciful than with others. For example, when Ke$ha talks about love, I don't buy it, I think it's easy, silly and/or hypocritical and I hate it, but when it's Midnight Juggernauts, then I'm all like... sweet like honey. The chorus of Vital Signs is:
You've got to open up your mind and feel the love in your life
You've got to open up your heart and feel the love in your life
And, yeah, I totally understand what they mean.
I really like these ones from Lara Versus The Savage Pack, I was repeating myself this kind of stuff when I was travelling around South America:
Keep on building
Chasing that feeling
If we make it out of here alive
We'll get through anything
This title is a bit shit but you're gonna understand.
I came back in France so I watch all the shitty TV shows. I'm following L'Amour est dans le Pré ("Love is in the Meadow") and mind you, can't even think it's a shitty TV show, my brain is really getting fucked up. For those who don't know this show, it's about 10 single farmers who get the chance to pass an ad on TV and get to meet suitors. After a quick selection, two people can go ahead and spend a few days at the farm. If the show can sometimes be cynical or cruel with some, it also shows another side of the farming world that urban people like me don't know or have forgotten. I think the image of the farmer's job is being restored with that show, it's crazy! I don't think they have this show in other countries.
I've followed for the first time this year and I was rooting for the Philippe & Margarida couple!
Still, it would be really funny if they had a gay version! I can already imagine the guy: "Looking for young man who wants to get on my big truck". And I would apply to meet my big gruff man lost in the Limousin region, I would work hard to clean the cows' shit, and I would scream when he tells me he doesn't Björk's Homogenic. My rival would probably be a young, slim, hairless guy and I would have to fight to make him go, even if I have to burn his Dolce&Gabban bag!! And then I could make an unglamourous but M6-audience-known couple and, this way, make LGBT rights in the countryside progress.
Obviously, this show really fried my brains. Or it's due to the lack of sex. Or both. Shit, I'm fucked.
I didn't have sex for more than a year. Holy shit.
I have to say I have good excuses. First, I got scabies. Then, I was in Latin America and finding a gay bar there is a mission. Then I came back to France where I don't have proper accomodation yet. So, huh, don't judge me!
Does it actually bring me something to be "abstinent" like that? No. And also I totally forgot how sex works. My next sexual adventure might be... unsettling.
And then I started wanting to explore some alternatives, such as in this advert found on Embruns.
If you can't read it, go there.
I have to fix this situation asap...

A very interesting experiment to do is to listen to Boards of Canada in the parisian metro. You look at the people and you start thinking everybody is weird.

The prices of accomodation in Paris REALLY skyrocketed! 5 years ago, I lived in a furnished studio flat at Opera for 380 euros a month. Now, the same thing costs double! And I don't wanna go back to a studio flat on the 6th floor without lift and I don't wanna put more than a third of my salary in the rent either!
SO! If you hear about a little place, nice and cheap, let me know!
PLEASE!!!
PS: my budget is higher than 380 euros!

Coming back to Paris feels very strange. It looks nice, it's picturesque, but after living 4 years in London, I'm kind of disappointed.
- The most frustrating is when you speak to strangers, they think you want to ask them for money, or sleep with them, or that you're a lunatic. In London, it's regarded as normal.
- People don't know how to party. And they can't drink either!
- The gay scene sucks.
- The prices have skyrocketed.
- The metro really does smell. The other day, I was in it and I grabbed a bar. It was all sticky and that's the very moment I realised how I idealised Paris.
London is a tough city. But I really had idealised Paris too much in comparison.

Molluscum contagiosum. I didn't know what it was, until the dermatologist had a look at the two or three spots on my butt... Thankfully it's very very easy to cure.
It's quite odd though that it should happen when I haven't had sex for one year. The same thing happened to me with body louse. And regarding scabies, it is very likely that I didn't get it through sexual contact either. And I AM A CLEAN PERSON, I wash with soap and everything!!! (The doctors all insisted that you don't get this stuff because you're dirty, but because you get in contact with people who are infected.)
I am cursed. Or indeed, I can tell myself that it's not because I don't fuck that I won't get anything weird. (The skin doctor also suggested I may have selective immunity, that is, my body doesn't fight skin infections so well but is more efficient regarding other stuff. Well, well...)
Have you heard of the Tea Party? It's a political movement that is on the right of the Republican Party.
Because Bush wasn't enough.
Here is the advert of one of the candidates they support for the November elections.
Last weekend, at the family lunch, we talked about breast implants. I have been told that these implants exploded when planes reach a certain altitude. I didn't believe it, but I started thinking...
Hugh Heffner
Old Playboy founder
Wants to impress
His fabulous playmates
"Let's fly starlets
I'll show you my islets"
He started to whine
So they stand in line
Girls coupled oon, with their nice hair bloond
Their breasts of silicoon, are not paper of carboon
And boon and boon and boon, like a squadroon
They get on the aircraft
Ready for a laugh
The plane takes off
They feel strange, sort of
Their oversized breasts
Explode into crests
Like a military operation
A Chernobyl celebration
Girls coupled oon, with their nice hair bloond
Their breasts of silicoon, are not paper of carboon
And boon and boon and boon, like a squadroon
Well, no, I checked, silicon implants do not explode while on a plane.
Nevertheless, terrorists consider using breast implants to carry undetectable explosives. I can already imagine the titles in the papers: "TERRORIST breast implants". And silicon-filled ladies who refuse to leave their implants at the customs would be pilloried and accused of anti-patriotism, of following an ill-tasted and deadly fashion.
