So it’s the end of the year and the TV people are going crazy. In every channel, there is a program about every single things that happened in 2007. Today, I was watching a recap of important events in the kingdom of superstars (who are called “People” in French): Who married whom, who went to [...]

Being alone on a holiday season can be really depressing, specially if you hope you were with someone special. Two years ago, I experienced the worst that such circumstances can bring into someones life. My then boyfriend had promised me that he would come to our boring town to be “only” with me on New [...]

I am running breathlessly in Gard du Nord. I push my way forward. At this point, I don’t even say “Excusez moi“, I just want to cut the long line of Asian tourists and pass the police check. I am about to go toward the train when a woman says” Wait Miss, the train is [...]

I am really exhausted from this past week. Not so much the work but the mental tiredness has drained me. I am starting to panic about my professional future (which is also linked to my personal future). This constant worries are manifesting themselves in my ever-present blemishes. I call my acne, my personal stress-meters. My [...]

If you are in Paris and you wish to eat some Iranian food, I strongly recommend Chez Elham, a small cozy restaurant in Chatelet area with pretty good menu. I have been to this place several times and the quality of their food is quite consistent. I don’t know what is with us Iranians and [...]

I am sorry that I am coming back to the same issue all the time, but honestly how much more of this bullsh*t can we take? Now US is quite unhappy about their own intelligence report, as you can see in recent revitalization of Iranian “threat” to the whole world by various their politicians and [...]

I get “Urban word of the day” from Urban Dictionary everyday in my news reader. It’s basically bunch of crap but I like it. Today’s word is “one-upper”: A one-upper who always has to be bigger or better than you. If your uncle has 20 ft. boat, his uncle or cousin has 21 ft. boat. [...]

Now you can fill the empty spot by “Iran” and you have president Bush’s press conference just after the American intelligence services announced that Iran had halted its nuclear weapon in 2003. The truth of this report is also questionable, given the credibility of their previous one on Iraq, but even so the President doesn’t [...]

Tired from a busy Saturday, most of which passed on looking for a birthday gift for my fifteen year old nephew, I came home, ate my dinner and started surfing on the net. My new pass temps is Facebook. I take the stupid quizzes, estimate for example who I am in Sex and the City, [...]

This could be a fabulous picture. I can even imagine it on the wall of a modern art museum. But far from being “fabulous”, it shows HIV viruses attacking a white blood cell. Today, December 1st is the World Aids day, with the theme “Stop Aids, keep the promise: Leadership“. In France, there are [...]
