It used to be cnn, nyt and perez...but those were the days and they are long gone. Its not that I don't care about news anymore, because I do - Ben Ali's wife making a scene at the central bank to get out 1,5 tonnes of gold while everybody else is just trying to have ends meet is just a too good story to pass - and I thought the story of France's Front National bodyguards beating up a journalist disturbing. Especially since I know poor Michael, but it is worrying that such a big political party would condone and not CONDEMN a move like that.  And in FRANCE of all places, its not like he was reporting in The Congo, or Tunisia for that matter. You would have thought he was safe at a party convention, but as a journalist its probably best to never let your "guard" down.

My time on the internet is just so much better spent these days. And, honest to god, I cannot remember life before Google. What did you do if you forgot your cookbook at home and had the sudden urge to bake a Galette des rois at your inlaws? -> 750g.com merci beaucoup! Or could not remember that film title your collegue insisted you had to see -> go IMDB! (not that you could see it if you didn't download it anyway). But most importantly, I would like to thank my private doctors (doktor.is, babycenter.com and wikipedia.org). Without them, the ER's of the world would be swamped by constant phonecalls and emails of worried parents like myself. "Its not normal to obsess about a cough"  you'll say, no but is it normal your kids are sick every other week?? I just need to know! (By googling it, I get alot of answers. In French for example, we call the baby's first years the years were the baby is making its defenses -> "faire ses défenses" so if there is a term for it, it must be very common!  Ah... that reassures me.. but I might want to see if there are any herbal remedies for it anyway so I google it, (you'll be surprised what comes up).

I will also share with you my brand new discovery of the sciencedaily.com !(thanks to the eversurfing hubby)  So exciting! So next time your queues are down at work and you have 3 extra minutes, surf and learn instead of looking for random news on google.news , twitter or amidst your FB friends.  Did you know the Estrogen pill is not to blame for high levels of the hormone in Drinking water? Inteeereeesting!
