"Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" was funny, it was not as good as the previous ones but I was happy to see it. "Terminator Salvation" was not bad either. I was entertained and I kind of liked it. Seeing Arnold Schwarzeneger’s face just few seconds, even if it was just a simulation was surprising.My broher said that "Angels and Demons" and "Watchmen" were good but I have not had time to watch them.
My mother came back yesterday with plenty of vietnamese food in her bags. She was happy to see my grandmother but the weather was not too good during her visit, alternance of rain and heat. Also the town where my grandmother lives is quite poor and she did not enjoy the area. Her main purpose was to visit my grandmother who is too old to go around so I guess it was not really "vacation" but more or less a pilgrimage. My sister has congraluted my dad for having survived these two weeks. Indeed, we did manage.
Lolita, my old dog, is having a hard time walking. I will try to give her back legs half an hour massage/stretching exercise everyday to revive the old muscles. Things will be very different without this old big dog.
My unemployed status has been updated. The french social system is by far the best ones. So I have about 400 euros per month and health care is free. It was a bit tricky to find out what to do and in which order. The best place for information remains the internet. It took about a month and 2 weeks for the paperwork to get through. Maybe because of summer time? It does not matter to me. All I did was to send an application form available on the web. Compared to my first time 5 years ago, it was less painful.
My sister, Anne, might come to visit us for few days. Her boyfriend is going to Bordeaux this week, he is doing a PhD with the CEA. All of us have been playing WoW intensively. I am getting a bit bored now. We had a nice raid session yesterday with my sister’s friends. We were 10 playing a raid. We used Skype to talk/explain the strategy while playing the game. 10 people !!! Geez! This have evolved.
