Tragédie

This is an exceptionally important message, which I think deserves thirty minutes of your time.

A lot of things will change this year & we have the power to make that happen.  All it takes is a little awareness.

Tragédie

Death!

My beloved Ralph Lauren sweater has been REDUCED by 70% & is now only £178.50!!!

I may cry.  Oh heck, I will cry.

I'm going to Berlin at the end of the month, so I'm saving for that & can't afford to buy it.

Tragédie

Officially devastated...Chris Odowd has only gone & got engaged!

[sniff sniff]

I'm majorly bummed by this news.
But at least on the plus side, he is marrying Dawn Porter & she is reeeally nice.
So y'know...I'll deal.

Une Tragédie

I am so incredibly sad right now, as I have learned of Steve Jobs' passing.

I've been an Apple girl since I was ten, when my mum bought our first computer.  It was an original black Apple laptop.  I remember her updating it & getting the coloured clam shell version years later (which we still have somewhere).  I remember getting my first iPod when I was seventeen & shortly needing to get another one, as that one broke after excessive playing.

I've bitched about Apple no end.  Some of their products, mainly iPods, break & usually right after the warranty expires.  However, I'll always remain loyal.  I still have my old 120g iPod, which miraculously still works & may never be full (over five thousand tracks & they've not touched the sides).  I use my MacBook Pro religiously, (probably too much) which I only have because Apple gave it to me for FREE, after my three year old one died (I had no insurance either).  I abuse my iPhone, despite the fact that the button's stopped working & yes, I really really want to get an iPad 2.

So y'see, although Apple has made big bucks on holding back updated technology & some of their products can be crummy, our lives have been greatly improved by the work & initiative of Steve Jobs.  I for one am sad that his genius is no longer with us.  Really really sad.

Une Tragédie!

Une tragédie s'est produite mes amis.

French hip hop & electro producer & one half of Carte Blanche, DJ Mehdi, has died today, after falling off the roof of his parisienne home, during a birthday party being held for Riton (the other half of Carte Blanche).

This is very sad.

I only just saw Carte Blanche perform back in July, both at Eurockéennes & on the beach in Montpellier.
