Faut je m'achète du linge, ça pas de sens.
J'ai besoin d'une bonne paire de jeans et j'aimerais qu'elle soit Made in Canada si possible, au pire Made In USA mais je veux surtout de la qualité. Mes dernières Levi's sont post-fermeture des manufacture canadienne et américaine et elles sont cheaps cheap cheaps, ça perce en moins de deux ans alors que dans mon temps tu pouvais faire au moins 4-5 ans avec tes Levi's.
Le constat American Apparel, ça fait un moment que je possède des t-shirts de AA je ne suis pas satisfait à 100%. Les couleurs ne tiennent pas super bien avec le temps (je fais très attention en les lavant, pas de détergents, juste du savon à lessive doux et biodégradable, jamais de sécheuse) et le tissu étant mince, il cède assez vite (surtout avec un chat qui se prend pour un perroquet et aime s'installer sur tes épaules). La plupart des coutures tiennent bien par contre. Malgré tout ça, face à peu d'alternative je vais continuer à acheter mes t-shirts chez American Apparel car ils sont très beau et font très bien, faut juste en acheter plus souvent.
Donc, même si le dossier des t-shirts est réglé, je sais toujours pas où aller magasiner le reste de ma garde-robe et je fais un appel à tous tandis que je Google en parallèle.
Merci.

Sans drame, sans chicane, Sof et moi nous nous séparons.
Après cinq ans, on aura fait le tour de la question. There's only so many ways you can beat a dead horse.
Je suis heureux de m'être épanoui à tes côtés.

J'ai eu du plaisir à regarder Bon Cop, Bad Cop, mais je l'avais déjà vu, ça s'appelle L'arme Fatale.

En regardant des photos du 9/11, quelque chose à accroché mon oeil, sur cette photo et la suivante, on peut voir la passerelle où se passait une exposition promotionnelle touristique, liant le Québec à la ville de New York, réalisée par le ministère du tourisme du Québec.
J'ai travaillé sur des images et des vidéos pour cette exposition qui n'a même pas eu le temps de commencer avant de se faire vaporiser.

Khoi Vinh a rendu public son logo FEED utilisé sur le site du NYTimes.com.
Je l'ai rapidement traduit et commencé à l'utiliser ici. Ça fait longtemps que je cherche comment traduire Feed, j'ai essayé « Flux », « Fil » et en cherchant des synonymes, pensé à « Ficelle » ou « Brin ». Mon préféré reste « Fil », pour fil de nouvelles et parce qu'il est très court.
Voici le fichier photoshop modifié de Khoi Vinh, en français, pour pouvoir appliquer votre couleur de fond de page web.

*UPDATE*
Content de voir que j'étais pas dans le champs, voici un extrait de Termium, le dictionnaire anglais/français officiel du Canada : Web feed.
merci, LT

Je recopie d'un site qui est tombé à terre, croulant sous les hits (à partir de Best Atheist Quotes).
I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence
-Doug McLeod
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours
-Stephen Roberts
Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.
-Unknown
There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages.
-Richard Lederer
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
-Epicurus
The sailor does not pray for wind, he learns to sail
-Gustaf Lindborg
Be thankful that you have a life, and forsake your vain and presumptuous desire for a second one.
-Richard Dawkins
But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose — which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn't frighten me.
-Richard Feynman
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
-Seneca the Younger 4 b.c.- 65 a.d.
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.
-Emo Philips
Blind faith is an ironic gift to return to the Creator of human intelligence.
-Unknown
You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe.
-Carl Sagan
“It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand”
-Mark Twain
Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends! Well I say there are some things we don't want to know! Important things!
-Ned Flanders
Men never commit evil so fully and joyfuly as when they do it for religious convictions
-Blaise Pascal
So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence
-Bertrand Russell
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense
-Chapman Cohen
The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church
-Ferdinand Magellan
Creation science has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand exactly why it is false. What could be more destructive of that most fragile yet most precious commodity in our entire intellectual heritage — good teaching — than a bill forcing honorable teachers to sully their sacred trust by granting equal treatment to a doctrine not only known to be false, but calculated to undermine any general understanding of science as an enterprise?
-Stephen Jay Gould
Praying is like a rocking chair– it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere
-Gypsy Rose Lee
You keep believing, I'll keep evolving
-Bumper sticker
Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of the astonishing universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy.
-Carl Sagan
God has always resembled his creators. He hated and loved what they hated and loved and he was invariably found on the side of those in power. Most of the gods were pleased with sacrifice, and the smell of innocent blood has ever been considered a divine a divine perfume...
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Christianity did not come with tidings of great joy, but with a message of eternal grief. It came with the threat of everlasting torture on its lips. It meant war on earth and perdition hereafter
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Which is it, is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's?
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Why should I allow that same God to tell me how to raise my kids, who had to drown His own?
-Robert G. Ingersoll
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one
-George Bernard Shaw
We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart
-H. L. Mencken
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people
-Karl Marx
Koranic teaching still insists that the sun moves around the earth. How can we advance when they teach things like that?
-Taslima Nasrin
Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition
-Isaac Asimov
Take from the church the miraculous, the supernatural, the incomprehensible, the unreasonable, the impossible, the unknowable, the absurd, and nothing but a vacuum remains
-Robert G. Ingersoll
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
-Albert Einstein
The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike
-Delos B. McKown
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
-Carl Sagan
We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes
-Gene Roddenberry
Since our inner experiences consist of reproductions, and combinations of sensory impressions, the concept of a soul without a body seem to me to be empty and devoid of meaning
-Albert Einstein
To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure; to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy
-David Brooks
Don't pray in my school, and I won't think in your church
-unknown
People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs
-unknown
The inspiration of the bible depends on the ignorance of the person who reads it
-Robert G. Ingersoll
The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also
-Mark Twain
The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance... logic can be happily tossed out the window
-Stephen King
I do not think it is necessary to believe that the same God who has given us our senses, reason, and intelligence wished us to abandon their use, giving us by some other means the information that we could gain through them
-Galileo Galilei
As people become more intelligent they care less for preachers and more for teachers
-Robert G. Ingersoll
And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence
-Bertrand Russell
The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason
-Benjamin Franklin
Prayers never bring anything... They may bring solace to the sap, the bigot, the ignorant, the aboriginal, and the lazy - but to the enlightened it is the same as asking Santa Claus to bring you something for Xmas
-W.C.Fields
The intelligent beings in these regions should therefore not be surprised if they observe that their locality in the universe satisfies the conditions that are necessary for their existence. It is a bit like a rich person living in a wealthy neighborhood not seeing any poverty...
-Stephen Hawking
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The contemplation of this world beckoned as a liberation (...) The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise; but it has shown itself reliable, and I have never regretted having chosen it
-Albert Einstein
If the Bible is mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust it to tell us where we're going?
-Justin Brown
Jesus' last words on the cross, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” hardly seem like the words of a man who planned it that way. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure there is something wrong here.
-Donald Morgan

Un icône, ce film.
C'est pas un super bon film par exemple, surtout que c'est difficile à regarder, puisqu'on se situe dans le camps des Sudistes, qui étaient pour l'esclavagisme et ont même fait la guerre au reste des États-Unis pour que ça reste comme ça.
On peut même y voir les débuts du Klu Klux Klan, après que Scarlett se soit fait agressée par des Darkies, des hommes blancs vont tuer les malfrats et les policiers Nordistes qui voulaient les arrêter passent pour des opprésseurs.
Heureusement, les Sudistes ont perdus contre les Yankees.
Les seuls moments intéressants sont les discussions animées entre Rhett Butler et Scarlett O'Hara.
