A l'hotel pour qq heures ...

Cairo airport, security check passed. A young and sexy peacekeeper decides to buy two big Heineken cans, hoping to squeeze them discretely into the country he is working.
But suddenly, bad surprise. A new security check has been introduced right before the gate. Discussion with the security officer:
- You can't bring this can on board. You have to give it to me or drink it outside.
- Ok, I am going to drink it.
- [Discovering the second can] Actually, both of them.
- Ok
Few minutes later, the same young sexy peacekeeper passes through the same security check, smile at the stewardess and enter the plane.
If you like Germany and Munich, you can have your own Octoberfest everywhere in the world. Ok, without decollete. But who want to see her breast when you can't see her haircut?

A Marrakesh, je me trouble ...

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Storm,
In the morning light,
I feel,
No more can I say,
Frozen to myself.

I got nobody on my side,
And surely that ain't right,
Surely that ain't right.

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

How can it feel this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

I wanted to take a lot of picture for a documentary, to travel around Morocco and to try to save some money for coming expenses.
I've taken less than 10 pictures, I'm still in Marrakech and enjoy Moroccan food and hammam.

Like a kiss on your neck ...

Lying on a sofa in a riad in Marrakech, a few glasses of wine/beer and a tagine in my stomach, it's time to tell the truth and to speak about myself and my deep feelings:
- Damages Season 3 is over and I'm glad it's finished. Good season but I still don't understand the relation between Patty and Helen. SPOILER For your information, if you kill my future wife and try to kill me, I'm not gonna keep working for you or even talk to you for months... END SPOILER
- I am gonna make a break with new series and now focus on my pictures, books and watch some nice movies.

(Paris) I love you ...

Back from Ethiopia, laying on my bed under the fan having a rest, it's time to start emptying my pockets:

Series:
  • How I met your mother, Season 5: Some episodes are good but there is clearly a lack of inspiration. It's sad because what has been a great series is now becoming a bit boring.
  • Fringe, Season 2: I regret the absence of Massive Dynamic and I'm not sure to really understand where they want to go with the series (I just hope it won't become a new X-Files, with no connection between two episodes, except the presence of the main characters). However, I have to recognize my crush on Walter Bishop :-) So I'm quite curious to see the last episodes of this 2nd season.
  • The big bang theory, Season 3: My new baby. Excellent, fresh and funny. However, I hope they won't make the same mistake than with HIMYM and stop the series before it's too late.
  • Damages, Season 2: Excellent first Season but a bit disappointed with the 2nd. Glenn Close is supposed to be an heartless bitch so how can she be like this in the 2nd season? I like the story but the psychology of the characters doesn't always fit. Reevaluation after season 3.

TuneUp: Quite useful software if you have album covers that you can not find in iTunes or if you want the song names to be checked. TuneUp uses amazon (and other servers?) to download your missing covers and song information for you.

iPad: I am sure you all know what is an iPad. I've tried one few days ago and it has confirmed my opinion: lovely. But the new big surprise comes from the USB port. It is now possible to transfer pictures using a cable directly connected to the camera or simply to a card reader. Interesting if you want to travel for a few days and to be able to backup/check your pictures, without having to carry a Macbook. Speaking about Macbook, I can't wait to buy my new Macbook Pro (yes, I got some good news with my tax imposition).

Your help is needed: If you recommend any city, restaurant, hotel, drug dealer in Morocco, please do it asap. And if you have any contacts in Saint Petersbourg, do not wait too long neither ...

Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas ...

2.50am. I should be sleeping for hours. But after having spent my day running from one place to another, I simply can't. I had no single break for 11 hours. And now, although I'm feeling exhausted, I can't go to bed. I know I could simply switch off this computer, lay my head under my pillow and I would fall asleep instantly. But I don't want to.
I have been watching movies and looking at pictures for hours. The quality of my pictures after more than 18 months here is simply not acceptable. It is simply not good enough. I have to do better than that.
In 5 hours I'm back to work. In 36, I'm flying to Ethiopia for work. In one week, I'm on vacation, somewhere.

Super bueno ...

"J'ai repensé à toutes les filles que j'avais connues, avec qui j'avais couché ou même que j'avais seulement désirées. Je me suis dit qu'elles étaient comme des poupées russes. On passe sa vie entière à jouer à ce jeu-là. On est curieux de savoir qui sera la dernière; la toute petite qui était chachée depuis le début dans toutes les autres. On ne peut pas l'attraper directement, on est obligé de suivre un cheminement. Il faut les ouvrir, l'une après l'autre, en se demandant à chaque fois : "Est-ce que c'est elle la dernière ?""
