OH MAN
BLOGGING HAS RUINED ME
I think of everything in 'blogging' terms now ... like, missing the bus isn't just missing the bus, it's missing the bus and then blogging about it... and finding a twoonie on the ground and using it to buy hot chocolate and then winning a free muffin from the hot chocolate, that is a blog moment if ever I had one. Except... I didn't have that one, but I think it might be in my future. In fact, I'm almost certain. Someone somewhere right now is dropping a twoonie on the ground and the world is drawing itself into a single-file line that will prod me towards that twoonie, I'll pick it up with the dirty-fingernailed effort of trying to coax a coin off of a flat surface... I'll buy my hot chocolate, and I'll win! And then you'll all read about it on my blog because I'M BACK!
It's been a crazy, draining, meditative, movie-watching, essay-writing, ball-busting week at Megan Central, and I have been warming my hands on the memory of Montreal with Jen, and I haven't said much about it here yet... but it's sort of like when Jen moved to Toronto and I tried to keep the radio show going for a while after she left, but it was too sad, and too un-motivating without her... well, that's how I feel when I look at the Montreal pictures... and now I miss her almost as much as Mark did... so... to save myself from typing things like *choke* and *sob* over and over, I'll just recreate the week in a few choice photos (there aren't more because that would take so long to upload, and I promised my feverish brain sleep by midnight)...
I must just say...
There is almost nothing as deliciously good as going on a road trip to your favourite city with one of your favourite people to see one of your favourite bands play one of your favourite songs ten feet away from you.


We drank sketchy Montreal booze:

Washed our hands in not-so-sketchy Montreal bars:

And ate sketchy-but-oh-so-very-cheesey Montreal drunken poutine!

We learned about the Montreal Chill...


Which only sweetens the sweetness of the Montreal Cafes! I don't know how they get so much hot chocolately goodness into such an inconspicuous-looking cup...



I also can't wait until my name is on this board!

I really need to sleep... things not to ask me about in the next three weeks: (1) thesis... (2) essay writing... (3) thesis.
I've been listening to a ton of CBC radio lately... this week on Between the Covers they're reading work by brand spaking new female Canadian authors! 10:40 pm every night! Listen!

Gawww! That post made me happy and blushy!
I especially like how under the montreal love stories sign is us snuggling - and how my head doubles as a racecar tire in the poutine picture.
A+

Sketchy beer on a couch eh? A pretty distant second place to wine on my bed, but nice trip post. Just don't become one of those bloggers who posts about EVERYTHING you do.

Jen - "gawww," great sound effect, suggestive of a QC influence!
Dearest D, nothing could rival wine on your bed. except maybe guitar hero on your bed. "Don't talk to me! I'm guitaring!"
