Aujourd'hui...
...i had a hankering for McDonald's nuggets 'n fries...so...i went to this friendly place on St. Jean's. and man alive...it was the FANCIEST McDee's i've ever been to! it had a McCafe (where you can get like...gourmet sandwiches...coffee...iced lattes...), a McPlayground, a plasma TV, Internet access, a fireplace in the middle of the restaurant with a rustic chimney, long glass panels decorating the room....and get this...the tables were all made of GRANITE! whoa nelly mad cow disease...this place was quite pimping. even the floors were clean.
anywho, the past few weeks have been pretty go-go-go pour moi...and it ain't gonna slow down till the 25th. i can't believe i have less than deux semaines left in Montreal. it's gonna be bittersweet leaving here...
so the past few weekends has been awesome-sauce:
-cy 'n carol's visit, bagels 'n smoked meat, gg-good times
-biodome (saw the "swimming pig"), insectarium (i ate cheddar flavoured mealworms!), botanical garden (this place was AWEsome...there's this butterfly exhibit where you enter a room...and butterflies are flying EVERYWHERE. they land on you...lay eggs under your epidermis, zip across your eyes. it was really...a cool experience. some of these guys are like...the size of my head...), photo updates HERE
-went back to TO for Easter (family time, friendly friend time, sharbear's baptism...muchos eating was accomplished and muchos goodly time had...)
this weekend...co-ops are havin' a costume partay at a guy's house...the next day we're going "tree hopping" in Rigaud (a place where you can zipline, do obstacle courses atop trees, and rock climb)...i'm uber excited to try this out!
i also discovered that...i really enjoy...being lost. when i ride my bike to work...sometimes...i would take random routes that i've never taken....just for fun. comin' home the other day...i decided to take a "detour" into winding streets...i ended up being "lost" for an hour. i love...how smooth the roads here are....how the wind caresses my hair....how free i am when i rip up a hill...and how i can experience God...through the nothingness of it all.
Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Hey Hey! I didn't know you read my blog! I've been to that biodome before and I found the butterfly place scary...I don't like butterflies! I'll keep in mind that you want to marry a doctor (all the female docs are kind of "old" though...) and one day I'll have to remember to give you a cookie.
yea, the mcd's in hamilton is actually pretty close to that too. doesn't make me want to go there more though...

ac: i was dressed up as...an undercover cop on vacation. it had everyone fooled. doodette, we should SO go biking this summer!
Looking through your photos make me drool. Why oh why is there such awesome food in Montreal?
No wonder they say French cuisine is the only thing comparable to Asian. Awmguh.
Rapid fork action looks awfully like uber-micro to me...
