Three and a half week after my phone line vanished from the air, it's back with a brand new cool phone :) I managed to get it for sixty nine euros... It's a Samsung ZV10, basically the one just above the one I used to have, quite not the most recent of theirs (those are like, hundreds of euros worth), but still very nice with a beautiful screen, a 50 Mo memory and a media player that will be useful for putting the songs that get stuck into my head so I can listen to them and get them away from there.
Oh, and it's 3G compatible too. Not that I know anybody that has a 3G phone, so it won't be much use... As for online streaming, while my contract includes 3 free hours of wap connection, the streaming itself remains very expensive (10 c€/min) so erm, no thanks.
Still, there is the free area where I could watch the X-men 3 presentation, pretty cool :)

So I'm back online and no longer left out from the world. Not that I have that much of a busy life, but a phone is still welcome for helping during the mobilisation against the LEC and Sarkozy's CESEDA (immigration) bill.
We're still fighting for people who got sent to jail for three months for having "thrown rocks at policemen", no witnesses, two cops as testifiers... Some people I know where trialed at 4 o'clock in the morning at the 23rd Courtroom. Madness. It's totally crazy... But let's not get into that or I'd need a full five hundred pages book to get over it.

Apart from that, life's back to the boring routine, university, work, etc. Exams to start on the 5th of June until the 14th.

Oh, and I got my new passport. The infamous electronic passport the U.S. have been made us have. You know, by not letting it whoever didn't have one or a visa (excluding those with passports delivered before the law was passed). The queue at the U.S. Embassy for visa was so huge, that they couldn't take appointments anymore for months and they had to get their embassies in Berlin, London, Madrid and Brussels to deliver visas to French citizens as well. Mad, eh ?

Anyway, apart from the electronic chip (look, I'm biometrized ! now the FBI and CIA will be able to spy on me ! Well about time guys, the French RGs are already on my back since the LEC crisis !), it does look cool. The page with the picture and details is like full of holograms representing France with a Marianne instead, the version with the phrygian cap.
The inner pages, aka those who host the visas or stamps, are dedicated to the 5 continents and then the 26 French Régions. Each one has its page, except for the DOM-TOMs and CTOMs that have just to be all on the same page.

While it all does look nice, I liked the "Delphine" passports better ; the pages were dedicated to technology and co-operation. So you had a double-page for the TGV, another one for Airbus or Ariane, but also landscapes, and even the Moon !

But anyway, it's just that now I can go in a lot of countries without even needing a visa.
( Just in case you want to know where I can go )
That's a hell lot of places to visit, eh ? I hope I'll have a list that's full of crosses in a few years !

Well that's pretty much all for the moment. Evening everyone !
