Make Up Foundation For Albinos

A little paint ...

Découverte in Paris of Picasso-Matisse exhibition at the Grand Palais. Amusing confrontation apparently works contrary to their rules of creation, but where it uncovers affiliations. A paradox as Matisse, the bard of stroke curves, the softness of pictorial expression shocked by the meeting of certain colors and eclectic tendency of his compositions; Picasso himself, led by the taste of the breakdown, shock imaged, instills greater unity to most of his creations, and finds this bias by the true path of powerful harmony. Effect contrary to the intentional primer for each of them. One way to have moments of artistic consistency that creates a dialogue between sharpened their works.

Sewing A Shower Curtain

All this worries me a bit (spicy beef udon)



A noon on weekdays, there was a bowl of ramen kimchi at home Higuma (while I waited for my order, the gentleman at the next table s is turned to me and told me I was pretty, which left me speechless - I can not even say it tastes weird, because I have heard many many many Benjamin Biolay of * to the person who accompanied him, then good ...).
One evening when nobody was at home, were ramen spiced leeks in a small shop in the same street. Need
heat and spiciness.

The same week, I shared a meal Japanese delicate and refined with a loved one, I regret not seeing more often. Moreover, it is because of this sudden and overwhelming desire of ramen.

And then there were plenty of other things: a sandwich made with bread exquisite, two units of best flan of earth (ordered by telephone the day on the good advice of Claire this I was able to dodge the queue and to pass in front of everyone - very very enjoyable) gallons of tea Korean yuzu, a solitary lunch in a very run of the Rue des Martyrs, where I could see a turkey writer, surrounded by three other turkeys ( and I fancy the same person backcrossed three days later, again surrounded by turkeys), a taste of the Loire, where I had set foot in ages (and where there was Pie with Orange, but I took a "muffin" (sic) with spices and orange which proved delicious). And also a bright day with Claire, who told me recently it had tested 50 recipes from here (wow! but that's nothing compared to the 100 recipes tested in Loukoum ° ° ° ).



All these frivolous pleasures are probably not very reasonable when you consider that the spiral of lose will resume in three months: re-center job, re-classified ads, re -lean, re-dumps (if you want lessons Ratag life, call me) ...
It torments me a little .

The kitchen comes down to the everyday little thing now. New recipes are rare (but I would just like to report orecchiette alla barese , you always heard and a salad cauliflower and apple granny fresh and surprising). And always this desire
noodles ...

Dog Crates Conveted To Rabbit Cage

Melancholic and elsewhere (after three years: just ice Nut Nut)



Needless to go around the bush: a man came into my life. That's why I'm speechless, speechless for several weeks.
Certainly he has the hair greasy (and a tiny nose ), but it is the largest contemporary artist. Yes, yes, yes. A composer, performer and arranger outstanding. And also a wonderful poet (most great poet of all time, it is ; his poetic work is unfortunately not translated into French, it seems ... but that is not the subject). Listen
just see his divine melodies, its sumptuous arrangements. Listen to his lyrics show a little melancholic, disillusioned and angry. Go and see her sing for real, interpreted with elegance Kites piano, spitting with rage over his words Originally , or be hailed as a rock star on Padam . This guy is able to make you love both violins that electronic music or hip-hop is a sign of genius (readers doubtful, spare me your criticism, I will not suffer any contradiction on this subject - I could even exercise my right to censor negative opinions, is to say ...).
The other shock was that I recognized in the accompanying harpist an old classmate (second), which was a pretty bad student at the time, and there I realized the The extent of my lose.
If only I had made a second musical ...

routine.
The office, kisses in the morning, dictionaries, automata, lunches in the canteen, the meetings of Monday, the tea time and sitting crosswords ...
this routine were added Lessons small photo of my left, the developer of the Internet , who was a photographer in a previous life. Under his guidance, I found a little envy and motivation. The photograph below is obviously not perfect, but I applied a bit much to take ("a bit much," because I actually applied at the beginning and impatience took over). As you can see, nothing transcendent in my kitchen lately.

Ice Nutella simple ( of Clothilde - English version here )

****** As I am a great specialist in wishing birthdays late, there is no reason that I depart from the rule when it concerns me. So with two days late (slight delay compared to two weeks for the birthday of Claire, for example - Happy Birthday, Claire!): 3 to Happy Mouth Full! But sorry: no lesson in pictures this year. It will return in a year :-)

Long live Benjamin Biolay!
