It is easy to make new friends over the internet, but you do not get to meet them very often “in real life”, as they say, especially if they live in a far away country. I was fortunate enough that my friend Janet, an American college professor of art history and a specialist of the Middle Ages, could come to France for a worldwide, week-long congress in June 2024, and even luckier that the congress in question was held in the city of Lyon, a few kilometers from my home.
Thus, we finally met in person, and since she had some free time during that week, I arranged for us to visit a couple of Romanesque churches she had never heard of before but that were still worthy of our interest. We spent a nice day navigating the small roads of the départements of Isère and Drôme, south of Lyon, stopped at roadside fresh produce vending stalls that delighted her, had lunch in a nice restaurant tucked away in the hills, and more to the point, visited two churches: Saint-Romain-de-Surieu and Chantemerle-les-Blés.
In Saint-Romain-de-Surieu, my interest was for the former castle chapel originally dedicated to Our Lady and located on the rocky promontory overlooking the village, where the castle once stood, although precious nothing of it remains visible, except maybe to the trained archæologist’s eye.
That former chapel then became the official parish church, as evidenced by the presence of the cemetery on its southern side. Contrary to what I have read in several places, this church looks very old to me. I consider it even possible that it was there before the castle was erected. Among my reasons are: (1) the carefully assembled but generally quite rough apparel of local pebbles with several traces of opus spicatum (fishbone or herringbone masonry in English), which is a technique that was not used after Year 1000; (2) the flat, squarish apse, easier to build than a semi-circular one, is also a sign of very old age; (3) the squat, square bell tower sitting across the whole width of the nave; (4) the very small and narrow shape of the few period windows that remain, many having been remodeled later; (5) the absence of a vault; and (6) the naive and archaic sculpted motifs on the two remaining period capitals inside the nave.
All in all, in my opinion, this little church, unfortunately all plastered up inside, dates back to the Carolingian age before Year 1000, at least for its oldest part. Were it not for the plastering, its side walls would have a lot more to tell us. Agreed, it was remodeled as late as the 19th century, including in its now strange-looking triumphal arch, as we will see, but the core is ancient.
One last photo of Surieu-Saint-Romain: the square apse which is one of the signs that tells us, according to me, that this was first built around, or preferably before, Year 1000.
Now, on to Chantemerle!

The 'mobile internet'- ie accessing the internet from a phone, as opposed to a PDA or laptop- is very different to the 'traditional', browser-centric internet. I'm a heavy mobile data user (it goes with the territory, use what you analyse...) and I'm finding that applications- particularly web 2.0 apps like RSS- are much more useful on a phone than browsers. Apps either make life easier (RSS means I don't browse as much to find what's changed) or enhance what I'm doing (location tagging via zonetag) or are simply cool (changing phone wallpapers via pulsepaper).
So, in the 'what's in my bag' theme, here's a quick 'what's on my phone'. These are all running in the background most of the time, but I also use Lifeblogger (for retrospecive flickr uploads with better textual content but no geotags) and Google maps (excellent).
These are all beta releases, and fairly data hungry, so you'll need an unlimited data plan (like this one from my employer ;+) [other suppliers are available, but not many have unlimited data]
Shameless plug- if you like the look of widesets (and I'd highly recommend it) please drop me a message so I can reccomend you- they're running a competition for a Nokia N93 and my N70 is getting a bit tired and needs replacing)
This is a photo of my sparkling reflection photo on the Flickr website that I photographed on a laptop screen. It's the meta meta self-referencing virtual reality of the internet - the technological metaverse simulation of time/space reality.
World's first IRC server, which used to be in University of Oulu computer "museum" (just a display behind a glass wall, really). The things aren't there anymore (or weren't last time I went past the place), I haven't yet bothered to find out where they are right now. Probably in a better place. A slightly crappy picture because it has a beam that mostly (you can see a bit of it if you look carefully) covers the most odd feature of this thing - Apple logo. (Which is odd because, as everyone knows, this is a Sun server.) I have a better pic, I'll probably put it here soon.

Taken literally on the steps to my flat early this evening. Mr. Toad (who looks very tired) is taking a lift from Mrs. Toad to the pond in the garden. Hey, it's springtime...

Where would we be without our WIFI, computers, phones, tablets, e-readers and cameras? I remember being without the internet for almost 5 days during a power outage and it wasn't fun!

This week we were inspired by queen kim k and had to show off our model's sexy side (again).
Breaking the Internet to me is doing something controversial to get the internet talking, so I wanted to channel the eccentric-ness of Kim K's photo and mix it up with what could be deemed as culture appropriation. Instead of doing what I thought most girls would- Leak nudes or something almost like a sex tape, I chose to do a magazine cover/spread. Last week at judging Effie was called "Plain Jane", so I decided to go all out with bright colors and a bit of weirdness! I hope you like it!
(The nips were kind of a requirement. sorry if this is a bit surprising to you, it was for me!)
Hiii!
Just wanted to let you know that we are alive! Not dead!
Sorry we've not been Blything for a spell, but school is kinda stressful this time of year.
WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY KNOW ANYONE CARED OR LOOKED AT THIS PHOTOSTREAM. LIKE EVER.
Hello, viewers!
We are not from LA! We have no idea what that dramz is about! We were never in any LA Blythe group. We are in Las Vegas, okay, sorry!
Also, don't you worry. We would never ~leave the hobby~ even if we were in some dramz.
Because, let's face it. We like our dolls, and we just really don't care, okay?
Thanks for watching this space! Have a nice Springtime!
Don't forget to stop fighting with each other long enough to spend time with your dolls every now and then!
Okay, have fun!
