Dear Reader, I know it’s been long, too long! Why so long, do you ask? Well, I have been a-rambling a lot this spring and summer, and more importantly, the Tyrex and I have been working hard on preparing something really special: our first Rambling Blue Owl Story!! So let’s have a fictional conversation about […]
Ramblings
The Most Beautiful Mug in the World
Look! The Tyrex made this amazing illustration, and we put it on a mug, and it’s awesome! Any beverage tastes much better in it than in any other mug! You can have it, too! About this mug: This particular Work of Art comments on the various stages of the caffeination. The Artist describes it as […]
The 12 Stages of Hiking Mount Washington in Winter Conditions
1-Going up to Hermit Lake with the Tuckerman Ravine trail I think my backpack is trying to murder me. I tried a lot of different configurations, with little success. It’s poking me in the back, and not in a very nice way. Also, my legs refuse to understand they cannot go at the same speed […]
One Year Old!
The Rambling Blue Owl is 1 year old today!!! 12 months and 25 posts, both in English and French! O dear reader, all the things we’ve been through together!! We’ve been to Hell and back in the beautiful plains of Iceland… You’ve watched me adopt a pet Xenomorph. You followed me to a Single’s Party, […]
Alpine Hiking Initiation
Dear Reader, I once again interrupt the tale of my quiet travelling to the West Coast to tell you of a more immediate adventure. A few weeks ago on a sunny sunday, with the same team who took me ice climbing a few weeks ago, I learned the ropes of alpine hiking (ahah, learned the […]
The Owl goes Ice-Climbing
“Guys? says I, my whole body clenched as if I had been turned into an aching, trembling statue, gripping the wall of ice like an oyster grasps its rock, left foot dangling, right foot precariously wedged into fragile ice. Guys, remind me again, why am I doing that? -It’s to get out of your comfort […]
Three Little Pigs
After the terrible date with the wolf, I wasn’t feeling like my usual cheery self at all. Nothing will illustrate my state of mind better than me telling you the story of me telling little Jimmy the story of the Three Little Pigs. My friend Muffin the Hamster invited me to dinner one evening, very […]

The Date – Part 2
I softly close the door of the bathroom behind me and let out a huge sigh of relief. My first impulse is to look for windows or doors or traps, anything by which I could escape. Nothing. “I wouldn’t have done it anyway, I say out loud. That wouldn’t have been nice.” I look at […]
The Date – Part 1
Remember, dear reader, the Owl prepared herself for a date a while ago? Well, here is the report of the event. “Hello ! Hi ! Ho ! Hehehe.” Yes, I’m somewhat nervous. I start by apologizing profusely, with such a torrent of words that I’m quite sure he has no idea what happened to me. […]
