IATA members start enforcing the paperless ticket.
cost of e-ticket is $1 vs $10 for the regular paper ticket.
No longer paper memories of our trips... Time to buy a new digital camera to shoot memories!
PS : read that Time magazine story about a Boeing 747 split in half!

Giard, Agnès
Another knowledgeable lady, Agnès Giard...
I already knew about the book as I had seen it in Lille (France) in a library and I had stared at the front page wondering about all the treasures that she revealed.
I often enjoy the treat of reading her posts or wander on her blog. The post from thursday is about the latest trend of tattooed butts in Japan. Japan and sex make an interesting combination, ne?
I also bought her "L'imaginaire érotique au Japon" (erotic fantasy in Japan) couple months ago.
I already knew about the book as I had seen it in Lille (France) in a library and I had stared at the front page wondering about all the treasures that she revealed. I ordered Agnès Giard's book on the web and asked for a delivery in the company I worked for. Collegues opened the parcel as I was in... Japan. No need to say that I got comments from V and other collegues asking me about the real nature of my leasures as the book is so very documented on "best" (sex) practices. They were shocked by the 'outrageous' and explicit pictures but as they cannnot read, they missed the essence of the pictures. They should have looked with their mind. Anyway, now few people at work have discovered another side of me.
Yes Agnès Giard has an extensive knowledge on sex and Japan. Her book has been acknowledged as a reference. Check here (French).
She is on MySpace also.

Fusion Sama aka Colombier, Michel
I was browsing the web on some of my fav sites.
On the most knowledgeable lady's web site I found a shocking post. Shocking the teenager who still lays in me. Kind of changed my perception of the world (again!)...
No, Prince did not write all the music in his first movie. I felt like the music atmosphere was very Prince like and I have always loved that movie for its atmosphere with very detailed elements to sustain the story and convey deep feelings to the audience & listeners. Music was the main part of it. It was sort of a magical trip, like the score of UTCM. And as with most records from Prince : "this is a trip" defines perfectly what happens after the CD starts playing... So many memories from the 80's with the landing of Prince in my Life. Including the first time I saw the purple motorbike outiside of the movie premises outside the mall where we always went shopping with my mom. 1984 is just the day before yesterday...
I am reading a new post and then came Michel Colombier. Known as 'Fusion Sama' (the god of fusion) in Japan. His career is impressive, not because of all the stars and big names he worked with, but because he was chosen and he touched on so many styles and genres.
Michel Colombier perfectly understood Prince's music : listen to God, Across the generations, and , of course, the wrong lake (Minnetonka)... How sensitive is that music...
Purple Rain but also Against all odds with more than a 100.
Michel Colombier is listed on IMDB with an impressive soundtrack record!
Last shock : he died only 4 years ago. I wish I could have talked to him, even briefly. I owe him.
