Amanda Palmer and the Danger Ensemble

Imagine Amanda Palmer and her usual gloomy piano. Add four off-the-wall Australian comedians, a violin genius with a striking resemblance with Barney Stinson, and some various guests, like a musical saw player. Then imagine all these people brilliantly...

Scotland is pretty, mais ça caille sa maman

I have been dreaming of visiting Scotland since I can't remember when. Belfast being so close to the coasts of Scotland, it's no surprise that I took the first opportunity that presented itself to cross the Irish sea in order to see what it looks like...

Better late than never - Santorini

Greetings, reader! With no further introduction, let me tell you about the pretty, rocky and warm island of Santorini. Natassa had once more found a nice and cheap hotel for us to stay. It was a bit far away from the city centre, which is good as it made...

Valentine considerations

Photo by Cédric for Cup And Cake So... Valentine's day! I was going to purposely not mention it, as I usually do. But I HAVE to talk about it. I have never celebrated this - to me - meaningless event. Except maybe back in school when my friends and I...

Fenway park, JFK, Cape Cod and good food

I hate those spoiled little brats!Naaah I'm alright. It's the second week, and like every second week of every summer camp, the kids feel more confident and feel like they don't need to follow the rules any longer. I had to raise my voice a little, but...

Mon beau sapin

Once in a while does not harm, I'm using my blog to advertise and support a cause that I like. Christmas is approaching and as every year, some children won't get any presents. Pénélope Bagieu, French cartoonist, launched an original operation. She created...

Better late than never - Ios

After two weeks spent mostly with my friend Natassa, we were joined by our Russian friend Ellen. Ellen had been our friend for a very long time. About two weeks. Even though we could have met her in Vienna - it's actually quite surprising that we didn't,...

On love and science, or What would Alexander Pushkin say about this

I've noticed a new trend in the world of science lately. Maybe it isn't new, but it has been brought to my attention that a number of scientists are trying to explain love through science. I've heard and read several reports - from one of my friends who...

The story of the purple scissors

I was sitting in the bus to Belfast city airport when it struck me. Flip! I took my pencil case with me. The pencil case contains my scissors, the ones I have owned since my early childhood and that have never let me down. The ones with the round purple...

On Starbucks, Scarlett Johansson, and general confusion

I don't like Starbucks. Call me a snob, I just don’t like the idea of going to a cafe that’s just one unit of a huge chain of hundreds of exactly similar cafes around the world. And, as for many other trends, I just don’t see what the big fuss is about....

Manele

I've been feeling quite homesick lately, and I figured a good way to warm my heart a wee bit would be to celebrate Nicolas day with some traditional Manele. And this is my very first attempt at baking Manele. The result was not great - those are the driest...

A few photos of Boston

I was on top of the highest tower (Prudential tower) and yes I've been whalewatching in the ocean and saw whales for real! It was truly amazing. The language school where I work is on Washington Street, it's very close to Quincy Market (first photo) and...

I am sad. I am suffering a great loss. Two of my best companions have passed away. I met them about six years ago and I instantly loved them. In their presence, I was feeling good, comfortable, and they were giving me the force and the courage to go far...

Quand te reverrai-je, pays merveilleux ?

I sometimes wonder if life is sending me signs. Like "if you keep trying to practise winter sports, something really bad is going to happen." Or maybe it's just "you're very clumsy Cécile. Try not to be a danger for the people surrounding you." Let me...

After a week, Natassa and I took a coach to SPARTAAAAAAA. (This is a rule. You cannot say "Sparta" just like this. You always have to shout it, like this: SPARTAAAAAA"). The trip went well because God was with us in the coach. Her lovely parents picked...
