I am not dead!!!

...just internet-less!

It's been a wild bunch of days/nights, stomach knots and stomach ice-cream aches alternatively blooming in my guts (nice image), and right now I'm on a fast break from bookstore work, but thought I'd try and salvage what blogg-ish respect I might not have lost yet (because of no updates) by posting pictures of my NEW MONTREAL DIGS! Luckily you've caught me in a moment of excitement (rather than the alternative gloom-and-doom of predicted homesickness) so I can write this with the necessary dose of enthusiasm.

HERE IS MY NEW APARTMENT!
I took these pictures very hastily while the landlord looked on (in french)... so they are not all that great. BUT they are a starting point! You can all see this place for real when you COME AND VISIT ME!!!!

living room-ish area....



BRICK WALL (painted white)!!! with a little window cut into it between the kitchen & the living room!

Bedroom (French reaction: oh la la)




Salle-de-bain-et-litterbox.
Look! An actual bathtub! Montreal apartment: 1. Woodward: 0.


Happy cheery rosey yellow kitchen!

Door to stoop!
Stoop!

Park near apartment, with victorious apartment-hunters posing:



So I officially get the keys July 1st and will officially move in at the end of August... that means anyone who wants a summer road trip extraordinaire should let me know!!!!
