ARC REVIEW: THE NOTES BY CATHERINE CON MORSE
⭐⭐⭐
This YA book follows Claire, a young pianist in training going to a performing arts boarding school. The year starts fairly normal, save for a new mysterious piano teacher that no one can get a read on. 
I think what this book does well is show the pressure teens can be under, even if society doesn’t always acknowledge that. Claire has parents who are, while supportive, very much like how many Asian American parents are described. They want her to be a doctor or a lawyer or anything but a pianist. There isn’t only pressure coming from that but from the nature of the school. They are training to be the best, and that’s a ton to put on a teen, as shown by her friend Rocky. The new teacher really layers that on, especially for Claire and Rocky, because of what she sees in their potential. Claire also struggles with not feeling as though she’s Asian enough when she is declined as a member of the Asian Student Society before the events of the book. 
Overall, this book is a positive reflection of the struggles teens can be under, and how that can further manifest in such an extreme environment. 
Thank you so much to TBR and Beyond Tours for the chance to be a part of this tour! You can follow the rest of the tour here: https://tbrandbeyondtours.com/2024/03/27/tour-schedule-the-notes-by-catherine-con-morse/

Quote
She peered at the screen, where a line was highlighted in red. 'Uh-oh. That's one of the names you gave me when we started.' 'What?' Meaning who. I'd only been able to give her a few back then, and one had been that of my brother Con. Jacobs had claimed that one was just a placebo, but -- 'Hold your water and let me click the link.' I leaned over to look. My first feeling was relief: not Con, of course not. My second was a species of dismal horror. The obituary, from the Tulsa World, was for one Catherine Anne Morse, age thirty-eight. Died suddenly, the obit said. And this: Cathy's grieving parents ask that in lieu of flowers, mourners send contributions to the Suicide Prevention Action Network.

The Dating Forest
Hello fellow web surfers,
My name is sylvan (syl ) ducote.I am creating this blog to give my perspective about the dating scene on the internet. I will be using my own experiences as a resource for the information you will be reading. So far the journey has been full of deception. But I still believe love can be found because others have experienced it. As in the movie “The Edge” staring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. Anthony Hopkins characterI “Charles Morse” says to Alec Baldwin’s character “Robert Green” after a very large mean bear is chasing them relentlessly, and  Robert Morris is afraid they are going to be killed by the bear and he is feeling hopeless. Charles Morse says, “We are gonna kill that “Muthafucka. If one man can do it another man can do it”. That is my attitude “if one man can find love on the net another man can find it”. I will be giving examples of good and bad experiences. Then you can make your own decision wether  you want to go fourth into the forest of the internet wilderness . Where anything can happen.
First I want to tell what made me want to look for love in the internet wilderness? It is as tho I was going into that forest in the Hobbits movie where those giant spiders were. Also let me say “Romantic Scammers, and Catfishers” are like farmers. They look for and desire the best soil to grow their crop. The best soil for them is a person who is in a state sorrow, desperation, feeling unloved, emotionally ill, horny as hell, feeling hopeless, and lonely. A person who is in need of a kind heart. Someone to tell them that they matter, that they are loved. at the time it was me.
Well my twin brother died in 2012. He was my rock. His name is Howard. The most loving man you ever wanted to meet. He loved the Hobbits movies too. We both graduated from Columbia College Chicago Howard in 1987 and me in 2007. We both studied film courses. We have this dream of being film makers. Together we were going to make fantastic films right here in our home town of Chicago. I remember when Howard was studying in the 80s he made some student films I was so proud of him. He even let me work on his movies and he was so talented. Before that we were drafted into the Army from 1968 to 1970. We went through all of our training together. Basic training at Fort Leanardwood Missouri . AIT at Fort Polk Louisiana. This was the first time we would be separated. All through childhood, and up to that point Howard was always the twin who had the most common sense. he was the stable, safe twin, the twin that had his shit together. he knew where he was going. On the other hand I was the twin nobody knew what I was going to do next. The twin who took the most risk, the the clown, the child, the immature twin. I did not care wether there was going to be a tomorrow or not. I just did not give a fuck. My two favorite words were “fuck it”. I was the court jester. When we got our orders to go to Viet Nam the sergeant told us, “one of you is going to Viet Nam so you better decide right now”. We stood there in front of the Sergant. I felt I was in a black hole as I stand in front of Howard. I could not hear or see anything but darkness for a few seconds. Howard was standing in front of me and I could not see him. And then from far far away from the abyss I heard a voice, “I’ll go.” I saw Howard in front of me looking at me. I felt as tho I had been in another dimension and returned. I told the sergeant I wanted be with my brother and he said we cannot send both of you to a war zone. so Howard and I saluted the First Sergeant and left. For a while we were very quiet and then we started talking of getting hi.  We had heard that if your broke you could get hi on nutmeg so we snuck into the mess hall and stole a big bottle of nutmeg. First we snorted it then we ate it with a water like tea. yeah! we got hi alright nice and sick as hell and high. but we lay in the grass and just enjoyed being together for the last time before he shipped out. After that the next day we got passes and went to Leesville. The Ary town where all the solders went to buy pussy and get drunk and fight. When you know your going to a war zone you try to block out the part that you just might get killed. We had a uncle who lived there. “Uncle George” he had been in the penitentiary. he helped us buy some pussy. Howard would not pay the prostitute.  So we ended up barely escaping with our lives. Thanks to uncle George. Saying goodbye to my twin brother for the first time in our lives was chilling. I tried to get orders to join him but could not so I tried to go to other countries but couldn’t. Howard and I were lucky that we were both assigned to Headquarters Companies. Both of us were trained as supply specialist. I was finally sent to Fort Carson Colorado where I earned the rank of SP/4 by going through a Special Forces training program called “Recondo” our specialty was fighting and survival in the mountains. I got a chance to discover the mountains of Colorado. I will never forget the feelings I got from that training. Me a city boy in the mountains of Colorado. We learned everything there was to learn about mountain survival. Climbing, repelling, how to walk down a mountain in different terrains. how to read the stars  at night to find out where you are. how to read maps. How to hunt and kill to eat, and lots of early morning PT in winter weather. I recommend  military training for all citizens who desire a change. It is a good place to discover what your made of. Howard and I wrote each other all the time the only other person that I wrote letters to was my fiancĂ©, TJ Lindsey/Ducote who I later married and have a beautiful daughter with. We got married in 1969 and divorced in 1974. After I got out of the military I was not the same guy she knew before I went in. Tho I knew she loved me she had the balls not to tolerate the new me. I have always been attracted to good looking strong woman. My mom and all of my five sisters are good looking strong woman. It affected my romancing too. After Howard and I got out of the military we went on with our lives drinking, getting high, and chasing woman. I would like to say there is nothing more satisfying than getting drunk and chasing woman with your twin. We never liked the same type of woman so there was never any competition. I remember when I talked to Howard about going to Columbia College Chicago to take film courses he knew of my reputation for quitting things I start. In 2004 I was 56 years old and sickly so I figured If I go to school and get a student loan in four years I will probably die and then I won’t have to pay back the loan any way, So I registered. One day I got a package at my door. I opened it up and there were 10 nice shirts and 4 pairs of really nice pants. Immediately I called Howard and asked  him, “did you send me these cloths?” He said, “ Yes! 
 now you have no excuse not to go to class.” and that was my twin brother. I love him so much. The day he died he was suppose to go to the doctor that morning. I usually call him to make sure he is gets out on time. but I did not get a answer so I hung up and called back a few minutes later still no answer so I figured he had left for the doctors at the VA.
Then I called one more time and my sister Nettie answered the phone. I asked her:
me: “Nettie what are you doing there?”
Nettie: “just quiet down ok”
me: “Nettie what are you doing there?”
Nettie: “just take it easy ok”
me: Nettie is Howard dead?”
Nettie: yes
me: “don’t touch him till I get there”
At the time Howard and I were both well over 350 pounds. We both had diabetes, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, and obesity. I was using a walker and Howard a scooter. but I ran out of the house without my walker hopped in a cab and got there to discover my twin brother Howard sprawled out across his bed. All I could do was stoop down and hug his body repeating his name. Howard? Howard? It was the end of the world. I had alway thought about this happening and Howard and I talked about it. I always wanted to die first. Always because I could never dream of a life without him. Even when he was in Viet Nam i felt his presence. It was just something I could not imagine. A world without him. What would I do? What? For the first time in my life I experienced being alone.
Howard did everything right. got the great job, the college degree the first out of nine siblings to get a B.A. a nice house and a good place in his church. He never got married and never had children. That made me sad. But now what was I gonna do? I did not have my twin brother to tell anything to. to laugh and watch scifi movies with, and then critique. To wear each others cloths, to visit family together. “Here come the twins” people would say. After his death when I looked at my reflection anywhere I saw his image not mine. I had to stop looking at my reflection every where I went. It was too freaky. I took about 2 months for that to go away.
Out of this new aloneness came my attraction to the internet. And here is where I start my journey looking for some one to fill the abyss created from my brothers death. The soil for the scammers and catfishes was being created. I was desperate and ripe for the scammers, and I got bit plenty of times with a total of $2,000.00 lost to so-called woman who said they loved me and would come to Chicago and marry me to be my companion keeping me full of love and devotion. Muthafuckas never showed up time after time. Until now I know what a romantic scammer is and how to recognize them.
My most recent romantic scammer is a person calling themselves Catherine Morris.  One characteristic you can tell a “RS” Romantic Scammer or Catfish is they fall in love with you very deeply and very fast. Unbelievably fast, not normal fast. and the only person who would fall for a con like that is a person like me who was desperate for love and alone and horny, and needy. One thing the scammers do is find the sexiest photos possible to bait you. I’ll tell you a story about that and how far they will go later .But for now I want to tell you about “Catherine Morris.”
It all started off quite innocently we had a small conversation and then very quickly it led into the I love you’s. At that time I was so lonely and so horny I would’ve said anything. We had gotten to the point where we wanted to meet. She told me,
Catherine: “I really like you but you have to get a daters id.”
me: :What is a daters id?”
Catherine: “A daters ID is a identification to let me know that you are safe and can be tracked so you are not going to hurt me.”
It has my personal information and if something happened when we met I could be arrested. so what she did was she sent me some pictures of her in a hospital bed.
Catherine: ”Somebody I met on the Internet on the dating site hurt me and I don’t want it to happen again so that’s why you have to get a daters ID. Okay baby i will not going to force you to get this kind of  ID  but sorry  this is the only way for us to meet  I’m not trying to be paranoid or anything but I need to do that for myself. If there’s one thing my parents taught me, they said that its better to be safe than sorry. I just wanna meet the right guy !!!”
Now here’s how you get a daters ID. She gave me a URL of a website, and I would to go to this website and sign up it was supposed to be free. But they ask you for a credit card. The website was one of those X rated websites so I was kind of questioning what was going on but I’m so lonely and horny and in love, and nieve. Because this is all new to me. But they charge me $39.00 so I went back to Catherine and said:
me: what’s up”? they charged me $39.00”.
Catherine: Don’t worry about it I’m going to give that back to you when I come to you baby”
me: ok
She wanted me to use my bank card but I said:
me:  Hey I’m not using my bank card I’ll get one of those prepaid cardd and put money on it. and I’ll use thay
Catherine: OK do that. So the next day I went to a Walgreens by my house the new and purchased  a American Express prepaid gift card, and put $50.00 on it. I didn’t know that with a gift card you could not use it with a atm. All you could do with it is to buy merchandise. I still tried to use it to get verified and get the id just as Catherine wanted me to. At this point I wanted her pussy so bad I would have purchased 100 prepaid cards.
me: Why don’t I just pay you $250.00 and you come over and we fuck”?
The reason I said that was because.
Catherine: Honey I promise you if you do this I will do whatever you want. I will come to you will be happy”
So I went and got a Walmart prepaid card but did not put any money on it.
Catherine: Because I really want to see you baby. I love you”.
me: : I don’t want to do it anymore I’m not going to do the dating ID because I’m not that kind a guy. I would never hurt you. I just want to love you and fuck you. and you said that is what you wanted to do too. Plus I don’t want to jump through any more hoops for you”. “I don’t want to do it anymore.”
Catherine: Honey that’s the only way we’re going to meet is for you to do the dating ID.”
me: Let’s have a video chat on Skype”.
Catherine:  I would rather have live meeting it is better you will see. So let’s finish the id baby.”
I went through 3 prepaid cards Walmart, OneVanilla , and American Express gift card. none of them got me approved. probably cause I didn’t put any money on 2 of them. I was too paranoid. finally Catherine says she wants to help me so she starts giving me credit card numbers and emails of different people and tells me to use them to get approved. she will give me instructions on what to do. Then she gives me url’s to go to and get approved and get a daters id. I follow her instructions 3 times and the url’s take me too some x rated websites where I input the information she gives me and BAM! I get approved. now it is time to meet and I say:
Me: “I am approved now when are you coming over?” “You promised.”
At this point I don’t realize how dumb I am. but Nooooo! Catherine says:
Catherine: I will baby but we have to do one final approve and that will be it. after this one I am all yours.”
At this point I am thinking this is really not going well, no video chat? No phone chat? I tried to call her number but always got a message center. Just like all the other scammers I have met. Now
 as usual I only know Catherine by the photos she has posted for me.The hottest pictures I have seen in a very long time, and our texting. So I do not really know that she is who she says she is. But I am hooked on her appearance. The sexiest body , the cutest face, the most luscouse pair of breast I have ever laid eyes on. And it could all be mine! and she loves me! and she wants to marry me! After all this time. more than two months. so now I am suspicious so I go on the Internet and I discover “Google Reverse Image. I get a picture of her that she gave me and I put it in Google Reverse Image and what do you know a perfect match. What Google Image Reverse does is it takes your photo you upload and searches the Google internet which is everywhere. It will come up with perfect match or faces that look like the face you uploaded. The face that comes up is a perfect match right down to the tattoo on her arm to the cloths she is wearing. And it’s not Catherine Morris.  It is “Jessica Weaver” a very very famous woman. A model with all kinds of creative interest, and credentials, and 3 million followers. So I ask myself “Why would this woman go to all the trouble to land a 69 year old, one leg in the grave and one leg on a banana peel man?”. I mean she is everywhere on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. As a matter a fact she is everywhere, and very successful at what she is doing, She has millions of followers and she gives great advice to guys who need to know about woman. So I snapshot a few of the photos on Jessica Weavers Instagram website. Exactly the same ones Catherine posted on Hangouts, and Messenger. I say to Catherine:  
me: You’re not gonna believe what I found?”
and I show her the photos, and to my surprise she says that it is her and she uses Catherine Morris as a second name for Anonymity. then I did something for the first time, I contacted Jessica Weaver on her Instagram page.  I tell her:
me: There is a person using your picture on Hangouts and Messenger, saying that she is you. She says her name is Catherine Morris, and that she is you. telling me she loves me and will marry me, and all kinds of things with me. But before we can meet I need a daters id. She even uses your pictures in the hospital. I just want to let you know”.
Ms Weaver was very cordial, very kind and showed compassion towards me. I appreciate that too. I would like to say it is a on going process getting over a fantasy love affair and then talking to the real person. At least I think I have talked to the real person. So now every time I go on a dating site I google every potential date and I never send money not for any reason. I also have learned to look for love right here in my own back yard. Where the cost of meeting does not include a large transportation cost. I also always have a video chat and regular phone call before we meet.and above all “BE PATIENT.”
So fellow surfers looking for love on the great WIDE WEB. The forest of mystery and intrigue, danger and enlightenment if your lucky. Be vigilant my friends, men and woman. And the first place to look for love is like our ancestors said, at home in our own self our own hearts. After you find it there love is everywhere. It is barren soil for the “Romantic Scammers and Catfishers.” Nothing they try to plant will grow because then we have love at home.
I am leaving you with a gift fellow surfers. this music I arranged in Garageband for all of the ladies/Scammers I fell in love with it is not copyrighted so use it for whatever project you have. I hope you like it. Happy Trails.

Le schede telefoniche France Télécom Pubbliche
Ho introdotto le schede telefoniche francesi per cabina telefonica o postazione telefonica che si inseriscono nel telefono pubblico fornendo preziose informazioni sulla classificazione, sull'aspetto e i modelli di schede telefoniche France Télécom, che sono schede telefoniche a chip, aiutato dalla Bibbia del Collezionista ossia il catalogo Phonecote,[^] dal sito che connette i collezionisti, cioÚ Colnect, e dalla mia esperienza. Ho guardato nel lato figurato della scheda telefonica al tipo di chip e al cartiglio, e al retro della scheda telefonica nello spazio bianco, dove si trovano il logo, il testo di servizio e altre scritte, il numero di serie, la tiratura e la data di emissione, ecc., ecc. Vengo, ora, finalmente al pane del collezionista, la scheda telefonica con la sua immagine e la serie alla quale eventualmente appartiene, parlando di quelle che ho avuto tra le mani, ossia le schede telefoniche France Télécom Pubbliche e Assimilabili Pubbliche.
Alcune informazioni
Le schede telefoniche France TĂ©lĂ©com Pubbliche, Les Publiques,[^] sono migliaia,[^] e hanno attratto, per lo stile inimitabile, milioni di collezionisti di schede telefoniche, e non solo, di ogni parte del globo per piĂč di venti anni, piĂč o meno a cavallo dell'anno 2000. Le schede telefoniche francesi pubbliche sono in due valori, 50 unitĂ©s e 120 unitĂ©s. La scheda in 120 unitĂ  di solito ha una tiratura inferiore della scheda da 50 unitĂ , spesso sono una coppia, e a volte con la stessa immagine, molte, invece, fanno parte di una serie.
Le variazioni principali di schede telefoniche aventi la stessa immagine riguardano la puce, la tiratura e la data, ma non sono molte. Le varietà del numero di serie, serigrafie, la loro posizione, errori e altro, sono invece un certo numero e richiede uno studio specialistico, che in Phonecote ha una sezione dedicata, con il nome Les Variétés de Publiques.[^] La tiratura sulla télécarte Ú complessiva delle 50 e 120 unità, e delle carte con chip e date diverse (ci sono tuttavia eccezioni), e serve, quindi, un catalogo per conoscere la reale tiratura della singola scheda. Alcune télécartes hanno scritto Tirage di ben 2.000.000,[^] una scheda con l'immagine della Torre Eiffel appena 105.000[^].
Preferisco omettere esempi di schede telefoniche, anche a scapito della documentazione, che su Colnect hanno segni aggiuntivi, a matita o a penna, e molte carte francesi li hanno perchĂš le varietĂ  sono molte, come il numero di catalogo,[^] anche con il prezzo,[^] o con altre annotazioni[^].
Le prime schede telefoniche Pubbliche
Nel maggio 1987 vede la luce la prima scheda telefonica a chip francese pubblica, Paris JTB Champs-Elysees Arc de Triumphe.[^] La télécarte non ha logo ma solo il cartiglio, e France Télécom nascerà solo nel 1988. Le prime schede telefoniche, Ú evidente, sono rare, e io non le ho, mi piacerebbe, Ú altrettanto scontato, averle. Con il primo cartiglio e France Telecom che Ú solo nel testo En cas d'incident appellez le 13 ou adressez-vous à votre Agence de France Telecom, io ricordo alcune télécartes che posseggo, che hanno già una tiratura maggiore, La 4e Dimension, 3e Internationaux de France de Gimnastique, Kronenbourg[^].
Il periodo d'oro, dal 1989 al 2000
Con il secondo cartiglio, che dura dal 1989 al 2000, bellissime tĂ©lĂ©cartes, indimenticabili, che catturano, lascio molti nomi in francese. La scheda telefonica Ăš in tasca ad ogni persona che vuole telefonare fuori casa, e le telefonate sono tantissime, e si puĂČ dire che Ăš il suo periodo d'oro, che viene dopo il pagamento con gettoni e monete e prima dell'avvento del telefonino.
Due serie culto: Les Grand Figures des Telecommunications e Telephone et Cinema
Due serie sono vere oggetto di culto per i collezionisti di schede telefoniche, imitate da tanti altri paesi e Telecom del mondo. Molte carte sono nel doppio valore, 50 e 120 unitĂ .
La prima Ú Les Grand Figures des Telecommunications, con l'immagine di un personaggio che ha fatto la storia delle telecomunicazioni, inventori e scienziati, e al retro della carta una sua breve biografia. Ogni télécarte ha uno sfondo ad un colore, ci sono variazioni di data e di produttore della puce. Queste Grandi Figure sono:
1 Maurice Deloraine (10/92), 2 Alexander Graham Bell, 3 Samuel Morse, 4 René Barthelemy, 5 Emilie Baudot, 6 Clement Ader, 7 Guglielmo Marconi, 8 Gustave Ferrier, 9 Claude Chappe,[^] 10 Edouard Belin, 11 Robert Keller, 12 Giovanni Caselli (03/94).
La seconda serie memorabile di télécartes Ú Telephone et Cinema, una serie numerata iniziata prima del 1990, quando ancora non c'era la tiratura e la data di emissione sulla carta, e continuata fin oltre l'anno 2000. La serie ritrae, con immagini tratte da film, noti attori e attrici mentre telefonano:
1 Michel Serrault dans "Les fantĂŽmas du chapelier" (1982) un film de Claude Chabrol.[^]
2 Claude Lelouch (02/92) dans "La belle histoire" (1992) un film de Claude Lelouch.
3 Gerard Lanvin (02/92) dans "La belle histoire" (1992) un film de Claude Lelouch.[^]
4 Jean Gabin (03/93 - 05/94) dans "Les Grand Familles" (1958) un film de Claude Deny de La PatelliĂšre.
5 Simone Signoret (12.93, 03.94) dans "Les Diaboliques" (1954) un film de Henri-Georges Clouzout.
6 Romy Schneider dans "La Piscine" (1969) un film de Jacques Deray.
7 Jean-Louis Trintignat dans "Trois Couleurs Rouge" (1994) un film de Krzysztof Kieslowski.
8 Catherine Deneuve (04/95) dans "Le bon plaisir" (1984) un film de Francis Girod.
piĂč in breve, 9 GĂ©rard Depardieu-Christian Clavier,[^] 10 Jeanne Moreau (10/96), 11 Michel Piccoli, 12 Christian Clavier, 13 Bernard Blier (02/99), 14 e 15 con il nuovo cartiglio.
Altre serie con tema il telefono, la telefonata e la cabina telefonica
Continuo a scrivere del periodo piĂč bello della carta telefonica, con le serie di tĂ©lĂ©cartes con tema il telefono, l'atto di telefonare e dove avviene, nella cabina telefonica. Il merito di France TĂ©lĂ©com, come nelle due serie sopra nominate, Ăš di metterlo davanti ad ogni altro tipo di soggetto. Le serie sono:
Collection Historique, con date 1997 e 1998, dove ogni télécarte ha immagine un telefono d'epoca, e al retro c'Ú il nome del telefono, l'anno e una didascalia:
1 Téléphone Deckert 1912,[^] 2 Téléphone Ericsson 1900, 3 Téléphone D'Arsonval 1900, 4 Téléphone Jacquesson 1924, 5 Téléphone Ader 1880, 6 Téléphone Ericsson 1885,[^] 7 Téléphone Mildé 1892, 8 Téléphone Bailleux 1892, 9 Téléphone Mildé 1901, 10 Téléphone Pasquet 1905, 11 Téléphone Berliner 1910, 12 Téléphone MildÚ 1911, ..., 22 Télégraphe manipulateur Bréguet 1850.
9 histoires humoristiques (la prima télécartes Ú del 11-98): 1 Les petits diables,[^] 2 Le roller, ..., 9 Le pÚre Noël.
Depart immediat pour Londres, New York, ou Le Caire... (12-98 - 05-99): 1 New York,[^] 2 Pise, 3 PĂ©kin, 4 Londres, 5 Moscou, 6 Amsterdam, 7 Le Caire, 8 Tokyo, 9 Marrakech, 10 MĂŒnich, 11 Seville, 12 Cuba.
Collection Dessins d'enfants: Cabine n° 1 gaelle 6 ans, ..., Cabine n° 8 marc 6 ans[^].
Collection grand nouvelles: 1 Le Mariage, 2 La Danseuse Étoile, 3 La Naissance, 4 Les Vacances,[^] 5 L'Oscar, 6 L'Examen (alcune sono con il cartiglio successivo).
Altre serie di télécartes e télécartes
Altre schede telefoniche di quel decennio fantastico e irripetibile, nella dimensione di una carta di credito, 85.60 mm. × 53.98 mm, che ha tanta fortuna, le raggruppo per argomento. Alcune sono serie di tĂ©lĂ©cartes, altre una coppia, 50 unitĂ  e 120 unitĂ , un numero piĂč piccolo sono ricorrenti ogni anno:
culturali: AccadĂ©mie francaise (piĂč serie, i primi soggetti sono del 1989), Festival de Musique d'Anvers-sur-Oise con il celeberrimo autoritratto di Van Gogh,[^] Mozart MusiciĂ©n EuropĂ©en (05/91),[^] la serie L'Art Vocal di 6 carte, 50 e 120 unitĂ©s, con Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong,[^] Bessie Smith, Fats Waller e Cab Calloway, poi Street Culture, e molte altre.
di servizi telefonici e del marchio France Télécom: Tarif 18 h 00, Mémophone 3672,[^] Signal d'appel, Transfert d'appel, Call home, Minitel 2, le stagioni,[^] e molte altre.
pubblicitarie: Aspirine oberline, Milka Lila Pause, Yoplait[^] con l'immagine della fiaccola, per Albertville 92, la prima carta telefonica francese da me avuta, EuroDisney,[^] Bose, Gaz de France, Orangina, Schweppes, Buitoni, Barilla, Peugeot Assistance, Renault, Citroen, Kitkat, SNCF, Yves Rocher, Michelin, Nike, Auchan, e molte altre. Alcuni marchi, periodicamente, sono in carte telefoniche, e in serie.
celebrative di eventi sportivi: la serie di Albertville, su sfondo azzurro, con un atleta per ogni disciplina invernale (hockey,[^] pattinaggio, sci, sci di fondo, salto con gli sci), Roland Garros, campionati del mondo di ginnastica a Bercy, le due serie di Peugeot 1ere aux 24 heures du Mans en 92 et 93, Tour de France. Poi, campionato del mondo di calcio France 98, con i gruppi, Footix,[^] i manifesti, i giocatori, le vignette di umoristi, gli stadi[^]. Queste ultime meritano un ricordo speciale. Infatti, le acquistai da un mio conoscente francese, che faceva forse il mio stesso mestiere, fare dei mercatini, andando a Nizza, partendo in treno da Bordighera, dove di solito trascorrevo le vacanze.
commemorative: 50Úme Anniversaire de Débarquements en Normandie et de la Libération de la France.
di luoghi e regionali, carte a piĂč bassa tiratura uscite solo in regioni o dipartimenti: Ile de France, RĂšgion des Pays de la Loire e altre.
della telecomunicazione, della tecnologia telefonica e la vendita di schede telefoniche: Musée de Télécommunication de Plemeur-Bodou, Plemeur-Bodou (21 serie nel corso degli anni), BNVT (Bureau National de la Vente des Telecartes de France Telecom).
informative e lotta contro le malattie: SIDA.
E ciĂČ che sembra essere solo una lista di carte telefoniche, Ăš il tempo che passa, la mia vita che scorre.
Le télécartes dal 2000 in poi
Dal 2000, dovendo continuare il mio racconto, con il cartiglio a punta e il nuovo logo, le schede telefoniche francesi progressivamente diventano piĂč difficili da trovare, nonostante l'alta tiratura stampata sulla carta, forse perchĂš meno vendute e, piĂč probabilmente, perchĂš France TĂ©lĂ©com cambia frequentemente la data della stessa carta e il fabbricante.
Nuove serie illustrano, con disegni, altri aspetti della telefonia, come il progresso, le cabine telefoniche, nell'arte, ma risultano essere meno efficaci rispetto alle serie precedenti. Le serie sono:
continua Telephone et Cinema, con 14 Roman Polanski (03/00)[^] e 15 Johnny Depp (11/00).
Le XXĂšme siĂšcle (00): Carte N° 1 La ConquĂȘte spatiale (con il cartiglio precedente), N° 2 L'Ordinateur, N° 3 Le G.P.S, N° 4 La TĂ©lĂ©vision, N° 5 L'automobile, N° 5 Le cinema, N° 6 Les TĂ©lĂ©communications, N° 7 La PlongÚÚ sous-marine,[^] N° 8 La Musique, N° 9 L'ÉlectricitĂš, N° 10 Le Microprocesseur, N° 12 La MĂ©dicine.
Collection Courants Artistiques (11/00): N°1 Le "Wiener Werkstùtte" Austriche (1896-1932),[^] N°2 Le Fauvisme - France (1905-1910), ..., N°8 Le Pop Art Etats-Unis (1955-1970).
Tre serie di 4 carte ciascuna: Le Soleil, les Vacances, la Plage (07/01), Les cabines de... (07/01), Le double-effet cabines telephoniques (10-01 - 12-01).
Parlez-vous Européen? (01-02 - 02-02): 1 Hola - Espagne, 2 Emitpos - Grece, 3 Hallo - Hollande, 4 Hallo - Allemagne-Autriche, 5 Hello - Angleterre, 6 Pronto - Italie[^].
Altre: "Instantanes de cabines" (04-02) una serie di 4 schede telefoniche a chip, Cool! OK! tranquille! (07-02) 6 télécartes, 20000 cabines partoute en France! (10-02) 6 télécartes, Vivez la ville (09-03) 4 carte telefoniche.
Altre télécartes o serie di télécartes sono: BollÚ, RFM, & france telecom et votre buraliste, Rugby, film in uscita nei cinema, come S1m0ne, Seigneur des Anneaux (Il Signore degli Anelli),[^] Blade II e Austin Powers, poi Les Grand Monuments, e tante altre.
La mia catalogazione
Dopo vari pasticci, in cui avevo separato le schede di servizi telefonici e del solo marchio France TĂ©lĂ©com dalle altre, perchĂš meno appariscenti e comuni o ordinarie, ho seguito, poi, la piĂč logica catalogazione cronologica di Phonecote.
Le mie tĂ©lĂ©cartes sono gelosamente custodite in scatole di scarpe, che mai ho cambiato, all'interno di pacchetti di sigarette numerati, mentre altre sono sistemate in fila in scatole etichettate, della dimensione di una scheda, alcune in legno, con le serie piĂč lunghe, e altre in cartone. Esse sono sparse in piĂč locali, l'armadio della mia cameretta, un angolo della sala e la cantina. Ho presentato le mie schede telefoniche francesi a chip in tre grandi album, raggruppando le carte di ogni serie, e mettendo, in ogni taschina, un piccolo adesivo in alto, in cui c'Ăš il numero di catalogo, e un altro adesivo in basso, rotondo, con il mio prezzo di vendita.
Nel passato portavo uno dei miei album di schede telefoniche France TĂ©lĂ©com Pubbliche al mercatino, proprio al centro della mia bancarella, e ne andavo fiero, perchĂš esse erano le piĂč belle tra le mie schede telefoniche straniere.
