François Pérusse, the french humorist, is releasing a DVD containing the best segments from the two TV series that he worked on, namely ‘Le série du peuple’ and ‘Le Jour’nul’. This DVD will be released on November 16th and should have a price tag similar to a CD according to the author. A lot of fun in perspective :)

    There are yet again new pictures of my ever growing belly, but also one of a little creative framing idea Yannick had after our wallpaper border debacle last weekend! :)

  • 38 Weeks

    Well, haven’t written much in the last month. Finished work at the end of august, and been home getting things ready and running errands ever since. Busy, busy. I’ve had internal exams my last 3 visits, and although I’d progressed the second time, sadly nothing new happened for my last visit. The Dr did reassure me saying it doesn’t rule out spontaneous labor. So I could deliver anyday. Of course, I haven’t had any other symptoms since my last progress. I’m thinking she must be very comfortable in there. Other than that, I guess the waiting game has started. Everything is pretty much ready for her to arrive.

    I have to mention I’m very glad to have a great big online pumpkin mommies family to get support. Especially since these last few weeks are very emotionnal, in part because we all really want to be mommies soon, but at the same time we’re all a little anxious about actually being responsible for another human being. The feeling of not being the only one to get all weeppy over everything is the best. Thank you all for your support ladies :)

  • The newest Barenaked Ladies CD has been announced for release on October 5th. Titled “Barenaked for the Holidays“, it will contain 20 classic holiday-season tracks. Having heard some of the Christmas songs they recorded previously, this should be a fun CD to listen to.

  • The release of Omertà on DVD has been delayed from September 14th to September 21st. Not that big of a change, but still a bit longer to wait before it arrives.

  • There are four more weeks left before Évelyne is born. The pregnancy has been going quite well so far. Andrée is going through some of the discomforts of the last month, but the baby is healthy. The baby room is also coming along. You can see pictures of the baby room, along with some ultrasounds in the Photo Album section that was recently added to the site.

  • One of the new TV shows that looked interesting this fall was Father of the Bride, a computer-animated sitcom starring the animals that Siegfried and Roy use for their Las Vegas shows. The lead character, Larry the lion, is voiced by John Goodman. The animation is superb, but the humor is questionable. Quite a few gags are for a very mature public and others are plain stupid, making you wonder if they were written by a grade-school student. Too bad. We could have used a good new animated sitcom.

  • My latest DVD review for the movie ‘Le Mystère de la Chambre Jaune’ has just been published on uneporte.net. It was a good french mystery movie based on a novel by french novelist Gaston Leroux. Check it out.
