...it is been 11 years that I live in France.
And yes, I still enjoy it :-D

Guess what?

Oh! it is just that we're moving from the lovely and lonely countryside to Annecy-down-town, after 1year and a half in Vieugy (Viejito para los amigos) en-toured by cows etc.. and a lot of time looking for a new place :-D
We are set up for having all of you coming over!

RootDown FM - Independent Internet Radio

2009-06-13T20:32:00.008+02:00

A little come back just to talk you about RootDown.fm

Some of you met them in their previous format "Etherbeat.com", they were an independent alternative internet radio station, streaming live 24/7, no pub, no commercial tubes, not even mainstream success if not chosen fully independently.
What do they do? Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, Soul, Latin, Reggae, Afrobeat... If there is an incredible Brazilian little group editing with a local label, they might find them...
They are a little jewel, really.

Anyways just trying to be perfect :-), they tried the adventure purely for FREE, and managed to survive just upon listeners donations for a while.
They were really very good but Public we are not so used to paying for good stuff which is just available for free, so they failed (financially).
The good news? they are back under:
http://www.rootdownfm.com
We do engage now through subscription, $7,5/month and you can give it a try for a free trial of 3 days.
I'm a member again and they are still as good as before, but they are still small to survive with their business model.

I believe it is possible, do you?

Un type est en train de marcher le long de l'Adour
à Bayonne et il trébuche sur une vieille lampe. Il la ramasse, la
frotte et un génie en sort.

Le génie, lui dit : 'tu peux être ravi : je
t'accorde un voeu !'
Le type s'assoit et pense longuement... Au bout
d'un moment, il se décide et demande : 'J'ai toujours rêvé d'un voyage
à Tahiti, malheureusement j'ai peur de l'avion et j'ai le mal de mer.
Pouvez-vous me construire un pont jusqu'à Tahiti, pour que je puisse
m'y rendre en voiture ?'

Le génie ne dit rien pendant quelques secondes, puis
éclate de rire : 'C'est impossible ! Pense à ce qu'il faut utiliser
pour soutenir un tel pont, pense au béton qu'il faudra faire couler,
aux tonnes d'acier... Je suis un génie, OK, mais je ne peux pas faire
de miracle...

Il faut tout de même rester dans le domaine du
raisonnable !!
Non, demande-moi autre chose, c'est trop compliqué !'

Le type se remet à réfléchir. Au bout de quelques
minutes il trouve autre chose :
..'J'ai été marié et j'ai divorcé 4
fois.
.. Mes femmes m'ont toujours dit que je ne
m'intéressais pas à elles et que j'étais insensible.
Alors, ce que je voudrais, c'est...

Comprendre les femmes,
Savoir ce qu'elles ressentent, et ce qu'elles
pensent lorsqu'elles sont silencieuses..
Savoir pourquoi elles pleurent, ce qu'elles
veulent vraiment dire lorsqu'elles disent non...
Pouvoir les rendre heureuses...
Bref, comprendre leur psychologie.

Le génie le regarde, puis demande :

'Le pont, tu le veux avec 2 ou 4 voies ?'

This is one of the markets that I enjoyed the most. All the vendors were grouped in the same area by type of "industry", and the one in the picture was actually selling motorbike and cars spare parts, together with more than 20 others selling the same. Some of them they were specialized in tires, buffers, others in engine spare... looks like it is not the rush hour though.

I've realized looking at my picture folders that I have a lot of them either eating or with food not very far... :-)
Ans so, Helene has created a stamp which pretty much resumes, very basically but very exactly, my mood.
It's not my fault, it is a family thing.

So I have opened this new travel & life label which reads "Silvia mange, Silvia contente"
Simple, straight and very true.

I will post some pictures from Egypt soon, so far I am a little bit tired because of all these changes... :-)

what am I doing?

2008-02-24T11:07:00.007+01:00

Just to clarify a little as I'm not very much "on time" answering mails in the last few weeks...

Little visit to Paris

and then little skiing Tour(nette) with Mat,

right now I'm in Egypt for 12 days with Helene (the artist).

Work? Oh yes, I had forgotten that one. I will finish my lazy time hanging around in different parts of the world in exactly one week. It has been 1year and a half in total and I recommend it to everybody.
So on Monday the 3rd of March I will say bye bye to L(*) " I'll hope I'll see you again soon, but if I don't please take care and have a nice day"
(quoting my friends HCD & BP ;-))
