197 Taking over Edit Piaf's Inheritance
Ok, to anyone who is not used to French culture and the like, his name may seem unfamiliar/ Etienne Daho
Have you ever heard of Serge Gainsbourg? (yes, the very one who fucked Bardot, Deneuve, Birkin, etc.) Well, Daho is in his place.
If you are fluent in the French language, then Daho is the singer you need to listen to, preferably with headphones, because he has a way of turning words that most often goes beyond what we lambda people want to express.
To make it easier, let's start with a simple cover of Edith Piaf:
'Mon manège à moi'
196 "Gaysex" Topic Of The Week (will it be?) - Day 6
"Vous désirez savoir de moi d'où me vient pour vous ma tendresse. Je vous aime, voici pourquoi : vous ressemblez à ma jeunesse."
- Sully Prudhomme (1839-1907) -
195 Beware, Here Comes Max Arion...
Mesmerism in the flesh
(yes, he has that 'third eye')
Arghh, This look...
194 Don't You Hate This F*cking Google Translation Bar Too?
Each time you visit a Blogger (Blogspot) site this bar adds itself up (and remains) on top of the page waiting for you to either choose to translate or for you to deactivate it.
It is a hassle and we, blog runners, have to stop it for we are responsible for it.
Since every up-to-date browser now includes their own translation options (usually at the right of its address field), the Google translate gadget is merely but an annoying dinosaur remain which we need to get rid of. And it only takes a few clicks away so please, Blogger admins:
- log in to your blog(s)
- go to the 'Layout' section
- look for the 'Translate' gadget
- select 'Change' (depending on your language)
- at the bottom of the pop-up window click on 'Delete'
That's it, you're done with it and so are your visitors as well. Hurray!
