Une paire de chiens / Pair of dogs

Je ne sais pas si c'est juste une impression ou une veritable tendance, mais il me semble que je vois de plus en plus de gens qui se promenent avec une paire de chiens. Par la, je veux dire, deux chiens identiques. Il parait qu'en decoration, il faut toujours avoir des nombres impairs, peut etre que pour les chiens, c'est mieux par paire????


I don't know if this is just an illusion or a real trend but it seems to me that more and more people are walking pairs of dogs. By that I mean that they are walking two identical dogs. I heard that in interior design, odd is always better. Maybe in dog design, pairing is a must???

Addicted to Facebook

My name is Audrey, and I am a Facebookholic.
I tried Facebook for the first time a few months ago. At first, I discovered that my husband was doing it and he seemed to really enjoy it. So I tried. It couldn't hurt right?
At the beginning it was pretty innocuous, I invited a few friends I knew, it was all nice and friendly.
But after a few weeks, I realized that I HAD TO look at my facebook page SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I needed to know my friends' updates, see the new pictures, and let everybody know about everything I was doing or thinking.
Today, I am really proud of myself, I only looked at it once (Although technically I had no access to a computer most of the day which made it a lot easier).
And now, I talk about my addiction on my blog, for strangers to read... Talk about a schizophrenic society....

Freegan

New concept: Freeganism.
Definition: Freeganism is an anti-consumerist lifestyle whereby people employ alternative living strategies based on "limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources"
The lifestyle involves salvaging discarded, unspoiled food from supermarket dumpsters that have passed their display date but haven't passed their edible date. They salvage the food not because they are poor or homeless, but as a political statement.
They even have their website: http://freegan.info/
I don't know but it sounds to me that in another time, they would have been called "pique-assiettes" (But maybe I just don't understand the concept).
