Hello beautiful people of General Discussion. How are you today? That's nice.

I come to you braving indifference and derision to call your attention to a new project of sorts.



Ahmed Nawaz (seen above, kinda) is a British-Canadian-Pakistani web developer, shopkeeper and arms dealer, among other things. If I had to compare his sensibilities to those of the RM populace, I'd place him squarely in the Bateman/Beef/Malice school of posting. Currently residing in Buenos Aires under mysterious circumstances, we formed an unlikely friendship as I stopped by his establishment every other day after work. We developed a rapport our friends found entertaining, so we decided to go public with it.

Enter LA VIE ENNUI, a weekly document of our meandering palaver. We'll dissect music, movies, memes. We'll bicker about socialism, Ahmed's militant atheism versus my indifferent agnosticism, whether Wu-Tang deserves a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or not. Look at you sitting there, being all giddy with excitement.

We'll be posting our very first episode early next week. We hope you'll listen and comment.

(Note: I am fully aware "La Vie Ennui" was also once the name of a short-lived, obscure 2002 stage play about Edith Piaf. Whatever)

(Also note: verbosity in this post was amped up 20% to annoy Bateman)

arms dealer, huh?

think i'll read apocalyptic blogs and learn about eigenvectors instead

I probably shouldn't have said that.

Also, I saw that you had made the first reply to this thread and got really scared.

I understand.

Sounds like fun.

I sense a tinge of sarcasm here, but we hope it will be fun, Len.

la vie ennui super artsy

No sarcasm here, i'm sure you guys will have a blast doing this, even if nobody listens.

why's that, pal?

Ok ok, but why "la vie ennui"? What's it supposed to mean?

It's just a play on the popular Edith Piaf song, Bateman. A title doesn't have to make grammatical sense to convey the tone and content (the babblings of two world-weary poseurs).

Ahmed is the wordsmith in this equation, and he speaks fluent French so he'd be able to explain it better than I can.

Thanks for your support.

Jorge

lol dude

so basically, french makes it sound more interesting.

Pretty much.

Can I be a guest host on this one time, Jorge?

when is human bass' cameo

French does sound interesting, doesn't it.
