It's my turn to officially introduce my new boyfriend to Dad and Grandpa! Well, of course, it would be annoying if Grandpa chased him away with a shotgun. He's a bit old-fashioned and protective of me. Anyway, I'm not sure Dad wouldn't help him if there's a problem, so to appease them, I've planned to make Grandpa's favorite dish. Well, his dish is made with rabbit, not chicken.

Painting from Liz Hume, a fantastic artist: From Andy Cline's Ready Player One to Judge Dread to Black Mirror and Pacific Rim, near future works are endless.Close anticipation is not a genre, it is an approach.Common point of the corpus: the stories must take place in the near future. Something to get excited about and also often fuel the nightmare machine.

A personal version of my favorite Andersen tale. I hope you will like it. Rebirth I I am different. I have always been. For my mother, it's as if I were an extra-terrestrial. But having no place among those hanging around on a mound of dirt doesn't seem so bad, when you have the whole sea as your home…If I could properly redefine the terms myself, I would say that they were similar to each other; not that I was different.

"So Harrison Ford, is he a replicant or not?" "No it's an actor!" The answer was complicated, the debate lasting for more than 40 years. But I will try to answer it now. So for those who think that I am speaking an obscure Pakistani dialect, I will make a quick rewind. 37 years ago, in 1982, to be exact, what was going to become one of the cornerstones of sci-fi cinema was "BLADE RUNNER" from Ridley Scott (at the time he was still making good films).

Dad blogger? Since Dad was on vacation, we spent some time building him a blog. When he visited my blog, he wanted to start. Dad is a huge geek and is passionate about the history of video games, among other things, so the topic was already there. I showed him how Wordpress works and we built his blog, which is as follows:

A few weeks ago, my best friend tricked me into planning a foursome date because she was too shy to officially invite the guy she had a crush on to dinner. As I mentioned, I was forced to go out with a guy I didn't know. Well, for my friend, it was a disaster. She realized the guy wasn't right for her.

Today, is the last week at my grandparent's house, so we're having a family dinner with my aunt and cousins. My aunt Pauline loves Asian food in general after a trip to Thailand, so I helped her to make a beef massaman curry. Ingredients (serves 4–6) 1kg beef chuck steak 2 Tbsp neutral oil 2 cinnamon sticks 2 star anise…

Finally back home, and the airport didn't lose my suitcase this time! I feel like I've been gone for months! My Granpa teased me right from the airport. Apparently, this little time in France made me start to lose my accent again. (He'll pay me for it one day!) How wonderful it was to get a big hug from Dad and Granpa as soon as I arrived at the airport!

I've been here for a week, and my grandfather thinks I'm my mom. At first, I tried to disabuse him of the notion. I changed my look, my hair, and my makeup, but nothing worked, so I let him call me Laura. I didn't think he'd be this diminished. Grandma says he's not usually like this, so I guess it's my presence that's bothering him.

Like I said before, I'm in France for two weeks visiting my grandparents on my mom's side and great news, the airport found my suitcase. So, I took the opportunity to see old friends I only get to see once a year since I started living with Dad. It did me a world of good. I love my French family, but the atmosphere is a bit heavy.

A story inspired by a Reddit thread about someone discovering their deceased mother's Animal Crossing game years later. This isn't a true story, but I thought a lot about my brother while writing it. Enjoy the read.

TW: Grief, suicide, depression. I'm sorry, but this article is not going to be anything very cheerful. If you've already read my blog, you probably know that I've been living with my dad since I lost my mom when I was 9. To better understand what I'm going to write next, perhaps it's necessary for me to tell you what happened.

Thursday was a bit of a special day for Grandpa. He wasn't feeling too good, so we went for a horseback ride, and then they had the brilliant idea of making me jump over obstacles, just like when I used to compete! The result? I fell! Nothing serious, but I have a nice bruise on my thigh! After all that, we went home, and I made us the cookies Grandma often made for us for snacks, while Grandpa chose the movie for the evening.

Another failed date! Last Thursday, I had a romantic date planned with Grioghar: a candlelit dinner with romantic music… Unfortunately, at the first kiss, the phone rang. It was a friend of his sister's; his little sister hurt herself and ended up in the hospital. So I went with him. Luckily, nothing too serious, just a small fracture of the wrist following a stupid accident.

In my writing workshop, we had to write a love story, but having broken up with my boyfriend recently, I was completely stuck on the subject. I miss being in a relationship, all the little attentions that we can have for each other and those that we can receive, the moments of tenderness … But all that is not really love.

My friend Quentin came to stay at my house for a few days! We've known each other since kindergarten, and we were inseparable when I still lived in France. When I had to move in with my dad when I was 9, he's one of the people I missed the most. We talk often via FaceTime, but it's still not the same!

Yeah I'm a trekkie Dad and Grandpa's fault. I remember the evenings when Dad watched Star Trek TNG in front of his computer. I had my head on his stomach and his hand in my hair. I often ended up falling asleep in this position but at the same time I fell in love with this vision of the somewhat idealized future that the Star Trek series depicts for us.

Yesterday, Grandpa came home with the biggest ribeye steaks I've ever seen in my life! We marinated them overnight and invited some friends over for a barbecue. For the occasion, I made Mojo sauces to go with the meat and the grilled potatoes. The recipes are very simple and perfect for your barbecue!Green and red salsa Mojo are pepper sauces from the Canary Islands.

Last week, Dad and I stopped by Ruaris Kitchen for a healthy and balanced breakfast (no, we can't say it was, but it's always a pleasure to stop by!), then while Dad was running errands, I joined Maddy, an ex of Dad's with whom I've remained very close. (Yes, I have a somewhat flirtatious dad with a list of conquests as long as my arm… 😒).

Grandpa planned to participate in a charity sale. So we sorted through what we were keeping, what we were selling, and what we were throwing away. Among other things, in a box I found some DVDs, including one of The Wizard of Oz. It was my mom's favorite movie, and also my grandma's. We watched it every year at the end of the year.

The muffin recipe that helps me console myself when I'm sad.

I’ve been working on a short story for three weeks now for a contest I entered on a whim. The theme was to write something Lovecraftian. I really like his universe, but I didn’t want it…

When I was 9, my mom got sick. My dad, being who he is, ran away from the situation, and so it was my uncle and grandfather who took care of me and my older brother. They’re both wonderful, b…

Hey, hello to you who must have gotten lost in my internet meanderings to find yourself here! Sit down, grab yourself something to drink and something to eat, and enjoy what this blog has to offer.…
