This Photograph is Proof

While in Geneva and surrounding areas I find myself discovering things that I think others from back home would appreciate. Luckily I have recently purchased a cell phone with a camera, so while I may not have my giant SLR strapped around my neck at all times I still have the opportunity to capture these things to share with you all. Consider this the first of, what will hopefully be many, blogs falling under this category:

Random Crap Found In Geneva and Surrounding Areas Captured on My Cell Phone Camera

this photo is for Nikolett. Back in the day when we both lived in the 'village' and both attended those great ol 'corn roasts' and skating parties, we would frequently return to her house to watch hiddeously bad family channel movies. One such film, was "Johnny Tsunami" about a snowborder turned surfer...or surfer turned snowboarder...anyways he was discriminated against cos you know snowboarders aren't surfers....or surfers aren't snowboarders...people didn't like him...but his grandfather did, he liked him so much he called him porno. "hey porno" became a frequent saying between us. And now, 6 years later, and while in Geneva, in the grocery store, I discover the sequel, advertised in the video section. It looks like Johnny has become a skater, it also looks like he changed his last name to Kapahala. Maybe he was put into witness protection because those snowboarders beat him up and he had to point them out in a lineup. Or maybe his grandad took that 'hey porno' thing too far. Either way there's been some drama, obviously, and it looks like now he's a skater and that means that there can only be more drama! oh boy!


So around the time that Laura was consulting with me about her halloween costume i found this car with this strange zombie sticker on the hood. I figured it was suitable to take a picture of to show her as all her costume ideas involved her being zombified. You know, Rizzo from Grease....but as a zombie....a zombie werewolf.....a thug that was zombified....a zombie that was a zombie - you get the idea. Anyways I figured if she ever came to Geneva then we would have to find this car so she could hot wire it and drive around in the zombie car. It just seemed suiting.

This goes out to all my Degrassi hommies. Pretty much, story here is, I was in Champion, the grocery store in Ferney, France that we go to once or twice a month for cheap food, and as I was wandering the book section (its more of a small one room mall than a grocery store) I found these gems - French Degrassi books. I was, to say the least, excited and dumbfounded. I was so freaking happy too that I had my cell phone one me and that I could take a picture of this, I mean who would believe Degrassi would make its way to France if I didn't take a photo for proof. Damn, I'm so Canadian it hurts.
