I subscribed to be part of a waiting list for maybe having access to an online PC: SHADOW .
After upgrading my Iphone 4S to the lastest firmware, I could not jailbreak it and I was not able to use TOMTOM, the GPS app. I switched to Google Map. Google Map has real-time information about the traffic however the map is smaller and you need to rely more on the text. It is not easy on a small smartphone while driving.
However, Google map is quite good.

I ate a little bit more than usual the last 2 weeks and of course the good Vietnamese food the last 2 days did not help. I need a bit of control to remove 1 kg and get back to 58 kgs which is my ideal weight.
The weather is cooler and more rainy. I helped the person who moved in above me and who replaced “couscous” dude and his 2 kids and wife. Quiet, single and clean woman in her late 40’s… Good! No more noise!

My aunt, uncle and Alisson came to visit us. We spent time watching videos on the Chromecast and, of course, we ate good vietnamese food.

There is a cockroach outbreak in our building and I posted a simple recipe to help everyone to kill them all. Most people won’t follow it until they see some cockroaches in their apartment. It only costs 2 Euros:
recipe:
Boric acid + concentrated milk = pellet (mixture)
I did not know how effective it was until I saw a fly eating my bait. The fly had only 15 min after tasting these baits and it cannot resist the bait (concentrated milk = irresistible)! You can buy boric acid in any pharmacy.

Episode 4 of Game of Thrones was pirated and I had the news from Lemonde. It was supposed to be released on August 6. I went to download it and I watched it right away.

I just witnessed my first drug deal. A young dude was waiting outside of my building on his bike. A fat black woman came and they both exchanged cheerful greetings before exchanging the drug and the money. I had to look carefully twice, I thought it was someone in the building but it was someone in the building next to ours.

I had a little fun today with the dude who owns the company that is responsible for the cleaning of our building. I sent a bunch of SMS on Sunday requesting a list of stuffs to be done or I will remove his contract. He called me right back and he gave some lame excuses but he agreed in the end to complete my list.
On Tuesday: I met him face to face and I showed him the remaining stuffs to be removed.
Me: Here, remove this junk please!
Da Dude: O no! We don’t touch things that are in private parking.
Me: Really why not? It is trash and you are the cleaning company, so clean this up!
Da Dude: perplexed, well, normally we are not supposed to because we do not have the right.
Me: I give you the right now and please charge us 60 Euros for your good deeds and remove this junk now.
I kept the same attitude for other junks and told him to never tell anyone that I ordered him to do it but just do it! Funny me!

It seems that the TV series corrected the mistakes from the books: Game of Thrones. book 4 and book 5 were quite bad from memory. I enjoyed very much the first 3 books. I am watching the TV show of season 7 and I really did not recognize the story. It is however not bad to watch!

I was running my 10 Kms and at the last 1 km to my apartment, I felt a horrible pain below my armpit. It was like if someone stuck a needle there. I had to move my left arm up to relieve the pain. I kept running back home. I only realized few hours later that it was probably a bee sting. It was red and the pain kept on burning several hours as if the poison was spreading under the skin.
It is 23:00 hours now and I still feel the poison burn. My left arm is a bit numb. I took several painkillers and an anti-histamine pill.

The book, “All the birds in the sky” by Charlie Jane Anders, was excellent. Very light and extremely well written! another excellent Sci-Fi book.
