Nous sommes a Austin, Texas dans la famille Watt pour Noel. Et vous savez quoi? Il pleut!…au Texas…ca fait des mois qu’il n’a pas plut!
We’re in Austin, Texas at the Watt family’s this Christmas. And you know what? It’s raining! … In Texas…it’s been months since it rained!

C’est pas grave, on a plus le temps d’apprecier l’enorme sapin de Noel, ainsi que les nombreux Peres Noel de la collection de la maman de Justin. Franchement, les Noels qu’on voit a la tele dans les familles americaines…et ben c’est absolument vrai!!! Je suis dedans cette annee, c’est dur a croire, mais vraiment tres sympa.
It’s OK, we have more time to appreciate the gigantic Christmas tree, as well as the many Santa Clauses from Justin’s Mom’s collection. Really, the Christmases we see on TV in American families…well, it’s absolutely true!!! And I’m in one this year, it may be hard to believe, but it’s actually very cool! (I grew up on American sitcoms/movies dubbed in French…so that’s why it’s almost like a fairy tale to me)

Ah, et puis, on va faire le saucisson au chocolat et je vais essayer de faire un egg nog… On verra comment tout ca va tourner. Je vous tiendrai au courant…photos a l’appuis.
Oh, and we’re going to make the chocolate salami and I will try to make an egg nog…. we’ll see how it will all turn out. I will keep you posted, with pictures as proofs.

Joyeux Noel a vous!
Merry Christmas to you!

We can all create a Picasso inspired painting thanks to Mr. Picasso Head. You should try it, it’s addicting!!! And actually, cruising around the gallery, there’s some pretty incredible creations!

Mine is called “Sudden Idea”, and mon nom d’artiste is Tuff.

On peut tous creer des peinture a la Picasso grace a Mr. Picasso Head. Vous devriez essayer, ca rend accros!!! Et en fait, dans la gallerie, il y a vraiment des creations incroyables!

La mienne s’appelle “Idee Soudaine” et mon nom d’artiste est Tuff.

I don’t have TV, so maybe this is old?…but I always like boob humor…
Je n’ai pas la tele, alors c’est peut-etre un peu vieux?…mais j’adore les seins humouristiques…

I am not a violent person. I don’t like watching violent movies and I don’t support violent games. I don’t even like little kid’s military looking action figures. However I accept the fact that it exists and that other people like the “thrill”. Call me a sissy, I don’t care!

The image of a peaceful and positive world…burning NYC!?!?!

But this new video game reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy pushes my buttons! According to the UK Times Online “The game, Left Behind: Eternal Forces, is set in post-apocalyptic New York and features God’s army battling the Antichrist.” “Players are ordered to convert or kill to advance to the next level and remodel America as a Christian-controlled state, and establish its world vision of Christ’s dominion.”

It’s basically a game that promotes “spiritual warfare”….That’s what fucks up the world for centuries and even millenniums…why would anyone create a game based on racism, intolerance, violence in the name of God, trying to spread the truth? That’s exactly what we fear from the “terrorists”…Who’s promoting terrorism now? What’s up with Christianity’s megalomania? Why can’t there be coexistence of different religions and different beliefs on a same territory (earth) without people wanting to prove that what they believe in is the truth…who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And for the christian high ranked community to market and make gazillions of $$$ on crap like this makes me want to puke. No matter how much christian developers “want to provide alternatives to graphic violence”… violence with no blood and no guts, IS STILL VIOLENCE.

The art of killing converting…Scoring “spiritual points”

Ahhhh! I could go on and on! Here’s a few articles that may explain better, calmer and in more details what this piece of crap is about….
UK Times Online
Talk2Action
SF Gate
And oh my goodness, check out their brainwashing promo video (granted…graphics are pretty cool, but I’m sorry, seeing New-York burning and people laying dead on the streets has nothing positive about it no matter what the ultimate “message” is supposed to be!!!!! )

I feel like I don’t have enough time to do things….like live my life and blog about it! Is that a common blogger problem? I suppose so.
J’ai l’impression de ne pas avoir assez de temps pour tout faire…comme vivre ma vie et la blogger! Est-ce un probleme commun pour les blogueurs? J’imagine bien.

Anyways, I have meant to talk lots about our eventful weekend, now 2 weekends ago (!!!!)… but you can read Justin’s blog post about that. I’ll just provide some fun pictures…
Donc, j’avais l’intention de parler de notre week-end tres charge, qui est maintenent il y a 2 weekends (!!!)… mais si vous parlez l’anglais, vous vouvez aller voir le blog de Justin pour les details. Quant a moi, je vais me contenter de vous donner quelques photos illustratives…

In a nutshell…we met up with friends at The Russian River Brewery in Santa Rosa, where Adam and Eveline gave us the trendiest onion cutting goggles.
En gros, …on s’est rencontres avec des amis au Russian River Brewery a Santa Rosa, ou Adam et Eveline nous ont offert les lunettes a couper les onions les plus tendances.

And then we went for a little ice skating at the Snoopy Ice Arena….the boys went crazy…
Ensuite, nous sommes alles faire du patin a glace dans la patinoire de Snoopy…les garcons se sont eclates…

We went to see the closing show of “A Chorus Line” at the 6th street playhouse, with the company of my Dad and Sabine. (Very cool! + I knew a lot of people in it, which was fun).

Ahhh! Finally a blog post out…yeah!
Ahhh! Enfin un post sur mon blog…yeah!

So today is my birthday. I’m 28….and so happy to be! I feel great! I feel young, but not in a naive and stupid kind of way, but in a “man, I can’t believe how good life is and how much I’m appreciating it” kind of way. I feel very free and complete.

I love where I’m at, who I am, who I’m with and what I do. Wow!…I want what what I have. I’ve always been wondering what that was like. It’s overwhelmingly great!

Donc, aujourd’hui, c’est mon anniversaire. J’ai 28 ans…et tellement contente de l’etre! Je me sens super bien! Je me sens jeune, mais pas dans le sens naif et stupide, mais plutot dans le sens de “j’arrive pas a croire que la vie est si bonne et combien je l’apprecie”. Je me sens tres libre et complete.

J’aime ou je suis, qui je suis, avec qui je suis et ce que je fais. Waou!…Je veux ce que j’ai….Je me suis toujours demandee ce que ca ferait. C’est absolument genial!
