Juliette Nothomb revisite son enfance et son rapport aux animaux en particulier.
Même si toute jeune enfant, elle a connu les genoux des adultes chantant « à dada… », le coup de foudre de l’auteure avec les chevaux a lieu au Japon, à l’âge de huit ans. L’écrivaine en a certes…

@mosskiss said: I’m thinking about studying herbal medicine do you have any accessible books you recommend?
Ah sure. Herbalism is both a science and an art. No two herbalists practice in just the same way because the thinking processes & healing philosophies differ from person to person. So, I can recommend a few beginner-friendly books (though some are dense) which I personally found very useful in my own journey.
(Normally, I am primarily a book learner. But, as guided by my herbal coursework, I was encouraged to also learn about the herbs through direct experience and studying a variety of traditions & other herbalists. Herbalism is not properly studied when you just experience it on paper, I realized. So, I would recommend a similar thing for beginners: learn botany, plant identification, forgaging, gardening, medicine making, safety precautions, how to research herbs properly, and different traditional medicine systems [such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Unani-Tibb, Caribbean Bush Medicine, Western Herbalism, etc. It's especially best to understand how a certain herb was used on the land which it's native to]. Podcasts and articles can be good resources too. Most of all, deeply testing and experiencing herbs one-by-one is crucial in my view).

Actually, so many of my ocs boil down to "what if there was more love than the narrative said?"
Nadine? What if Hank DID love his ex-wife, and they could end up together one day?
Flora? What if Juliette had family who loved her so fiercely and so stubbornly that it saved her from her darkness?
Will's family? What if Will is more loved than he knows? What if Helen could have a family again?
Scott? What if Ashley got to fall in love before she died? And Emily? What if Ashley had a best friend, someone who loved her so so dearly? (And Scott and Emily. What if even those in the deepest of grief could find love again?)
Robyn? What if Julius had someone who loved him like home, who made him feel like he wasn't alone?
I could keep going, but seriously, it's like all of my OCs.
Except Rebecca. I mean, you could argue that Rebecca is "What if Sean was in love back before everything went wrong," but really, she's just "Why did Sean Renard wear a wedding ring for six seasons, why was this never explained?"

Nadine Ross has three perfumes in rotation for different occasions. Miss Charming by Juliette has a gun, she wears that on nights out. Honeybush by Scent Trunk because Chloe begs her to put it on before they roll around fucking all night. And Reb’l Fleur Love Always by Rihanna for long family and religious events.
Chloe lives by Viktor&Rolf’s Spicebomb and Paco Rabanne’s 1Million. Yes. No regrets. They stay on her clothes after washes. She stole them both from past hookups.
Caché (Michael Haneke, 2005)
Cast: Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche, Maurice Bénichou, Annie Girardot, Bernard Le Coq, Walid Afkir, Lester Makedonsky, Daniel Duval, Nathalie Richard. Screenplay: Michael Haneke. Cinematography: Christian Berger. Production design: Emmanuel de Chauvigny, Christoph Kanter. Film editing: Michael Hudecek, Nadine Muse.
Caché is one of those films I want to like more than I really do. It's a thriller without a payoff, somewhat in the mode of Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Avventura (1960) in that it's a mystery that doesn't get solved. But Michael Haneke is a colder, more cynical filmmaker than Antonioni, so that I can never quite shake the feeling that Haneke is just toying with us, parading themes like deception and guilt before us without having anything particularly revealing to say about those topics. On the other hand, we live in an age of increasing invasions of privacy, when the technologies we depend on seem to betraying our secrets to the world, so Haneke's film may have an element of prescience to it. The premise is this: a couple, Georges and Anne Laurent, played with their usual edgy brilliance by Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche, receive a videotape that's simply a record of the façade of their house during several hours of what seems to be random day. It's a premise that David Lynch used some years earlier in Lost Highway (1997), but where Lynch expanded from that into a florid nightmare of a story, Haneke simply traces the slow effect of that enigmatic tape on the Laurents, who are initially unsettled by it but not particularly concerned. And then more tapes arrive, some wrapped in childlike drawings that have a more sinister effect, and the Laurents begin to worry. Is it a threat, a kind of terrorism, or is it just a prank, played perhaps by one of the friends of their teenage son, Pierrot? Eventually, Georges realizes that he is the primary target of this strange harassment, and that the perpetrator is someone who knows about something that happened when Georges was only 6 years old. The confrontation with the man he suspects is responsible for the tapes proves calamitous, made worse by Georges's initial attempt to keep the truth from Anne. Still, at the film's end, there is no real resolution: We may suspect we know the truth, but Haneke never gives us certainty. It's a film that provokes analysis, but I'm not convinced that it entirely deserves it.
