Pics from last night

So excuse the mobile phone quality of these photos! I had to work with what I had! SICK game last night, But I suppose any game is amazing when you up against the glass. Montreal vs. Flordia, in a winner takes all clash of the titans! Actually it was pre season but WHO CARES! There's something about banging on the glass and yelling that makes for such a much more tactile and invigorating hockey experience! That and I had a bottle of wine in me and any one who knows me know how belligerent and loud I get when drunk at sporting events.






A shout out to my wonderful date SLE who not only got us the most amazing seats in the house (girlfriend has a sweet job with sweet perks) but also to the two older guys sitting beside us, and the cute 10 year old behind us, who ate all of my candy and kept me updated on who all of the rookies were and how they were doing!


We worked it girl style, Habs jersey's (mine borrowed from my BF) tight pants and high heeled boots, as well as dinner and a BYOW before had! The only other was to roll is a 5 à 7 before, but alas we didn't have enough time.

Nothing says Montreal like Hockey! Can't wait for the regular season to start what with the play off last year and getting to watch the game up close this year, I feel like I'm really starting to be a big fan!

Adventure Weekend/Sunday

Another successful adventure Sunday this weekend with Tara and Gaël! Gaël had the brilliant idea of hitting up the beach and therefore we ventured out to park Jean Drapeau, spiked punch, sunscreen and chips in hand. Gaël built sandcastles, I read and Tara tanned (using the most bizarre tanning lotion I have ever seen, basically it induces an allergic reaction and apparently that's supposed to help you tan...)

The castle was mostly successful as was the tanning. The highlight of the day came when a couple of FULLY dressed tourists tried to go for a swim on the one part of the beach your not supposed to use and proceeded to basically have sex in the water. They were then kick out of the water by a lifeguard with washboard abs, so they headed to the picnic tables to strip off theirs clothes and finish there.




This weekend also marked the beginning of the Jazz Festival here in MTL. So Grace Tara and I headed out to the Festivities to watch opening act Brian Setzer and his orchestra light up the night. I was unfortunately too late to catch hometown favorites the Hellbound Hepcats play but I told that both of their shows were a riot. As expected the place was PACKED but we did manage to get within 100 feet of the stage and were able to better see the screens and tell that there were in fact people on stage. later that night Duke and Tristan met us for beer and we spent the rest of the night watching the show from there n their handy dandy TV screen.




So all in all it was a fun and cheap weekend! Which is good cause this week is moving week and it promises to be hell!

New Years Resolution

Kinda late right?
My resolution this year was to A) loose weight 2) to enjoy Montreal this summer, And enjoy it I have!Last night was my I popped my Fringe fest cherry with The New New Underground's show I Like Cowboys. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about, only wanting to go to at least on Fringe show ( it was that or Francofolies, and I love Couer de Pirate but it was PISSING rain outside so I said FRAK IT!) and apparently I was a spoiled. They had a huge freakin' set, with a band! Who by the way rocked! It rekindled my urge to learn how to play the banjo. The show was also an hour and a half long, which I'm told is unusual for a Fringe show and I can understand why, it was a bit long. The beginning premise and introduction of characters were great, Pearl, being by far the most hilarious character, but as the play went on and her scenes dwindled so did my interest. This may be my fault, seeing as I went to a 10:30 showing, but I feel like the play had alot of great things going for it and didn't take advantage of many of them. All in all though i thoroughly enjoyed the show, it was nice to hang with friends.

So along with Nuit blanche, free Museum day, tam tam's (see the photo of Jimmy) and many other adventures, I think i'm doing pretty well in my attempt to enjoy MTL in the summer. This sunday, drinks on the Mclausan breweries terrase!

This one goes out to my homies in... well where ever you are

This ones a shout out to my home girl Kelly in Germany who apparently reads this blog to catch up with my news, and little lady I hate to break it to you, but my life is DULL! I mean it's not that it sucks or anything, far from it I'm quite happy, But my life consists of a very dull, wake up, eat work, eat, see my boyfriend, maybe once in a while we'll go on a date, get some ice cream... Oh and then I scramble around trying to finish my homework, that I haven't done, cause I'm absent minded to the point of mild retardation. I also still watch and unseemly amount of X-files (One season left and I'm dreading it cause it's going to suck!) and I'm trying to get into True Blood for the second time, but as hard as I try I still think it's gross and the main characters are stupid.
Um Megan's wedding is this weekend, gots me a sexy dress, an overpriced wedding gift (OMG buying it was a nightmare! the staff at Sears SUCK!) and a hot date who may or may not be there, because I may or may not be there, because that night at work is gonna be HUGE! And it is also rookie party so Duke is gonna spend some time doing that. Hopefully I make it there before 1am and be able to see the happy couple. Oh also Liv is at camp, Rik still hates me, Lynn and Garry are chill.
Work is nice making decent money, it's not golf course crazy and the food is good, and Allison doesn't sound a thing like Lise.
If I missed something lemme know!

Blessings in disguise from on high

Ya so I got fired... technically I wasn't fired I just didn't make it past the original training period (which I actually had no idea I was still in) and honestly I couldn't be happier. I think the night manager on the phone was expecting me to cry or to be pissed or something BUT NO! Good riddance to you shitty ass job! yay! so ya, blessing in disguise.

The religious portion of this post comes with a fun activity a friend of mine and I like to try. We've got this thing we do where we log on to dating web sites and basically we search people out, rate their hotness, make fun of their photos, laugh at their sad bios. Basically we are cruel and laugh at peoples misfortunes. Funny stuff you should try it. Now the reason it was especially funny this week is because we logged on to a xtian dating web site with the sole purpose of being dumped for Jesus (no kidding this happened to a friend of mine TWICE!) by some southern bible humper. Needless to say laughs ensued and we enjoy ourselves thoroughly! defiantly a fun activity for a rainy day! The internet dating world is a scary one let me tell you!

You Desired My Attention, But Denied My Affections...

You, Me, 5 Bucks and Good Conversation

Friends, The bottom line is friends come and go just as often as the men and/or women we're sleeping with come and go. The trick is to keep the good ones as long as the universe allows us and enjoy their company. After high school ended lots of us drifted away from each other, whether because of a fight, the distance, an inappropriate request, or cause of change it is nearly impossible to keep every you'd like to keep in your life. Granted most of us had a bunch of people that after high school we never ever wanted to see again (these are the ones that happen to end up going to the same college as you and say hi to you every time you see them in the halls) but there are some people you'd like to keep in you life, who either don't feel the same or because of the situation you find it impossible to continue your friendship. One of the biggest things we all realize after high school ends is just how many friends we have based solely on geography. Think about it, half the people you hung out with in high school you hung out with because you went to the same high school. you went on the same bus, you had the same classes. So of course your going to ended up being friends. Only when you no longer have to see them or spend half an hour on a sweaty bus with them every day do you realize they either weren't that cool or that your friendship was based on nothing but getting drunk together and gossiping about the ugly french chicks in your home ec. class. On the bright side friendships change, they grow, they pass, they come back. Sure there are people you probably will be firends with for most of your life, but be realistic, nothing is forever, get used to it. So while you have your frieds, cherish them, be honest, be random, be yourself. They're like having a really cool fun family that you can get trashed with.

Girls who give girls a bad name

Every group has one, shes the slutty chick whose dated all the good looking guys, played the nice ones, and strung along the rich ones just to get the love daddy wasn't giving her at home. Now-a-days she has no girl friends (she's either tried to fondle them or their boyfriends) and is probably one of the most damaged people you know, and yet she still manages to pick up!
Never mind that she might as well just strap a red light to her forhead (MM) cause she gets around so much, and shes played half of a guys friends, he'll still find a way to rationalize sleeping with her!
All your loser guys friends and every one else still drool all over her sporting permanent hardons every time she walks into a room.
Meanwhile the nice girls with headgear don't get nada!
Sadly enough this wont change till she either goes blind and crazy from the clap, her tits shrivel up and fall off or the guys around her reach mental maturity... I've looked it up, apparently it takes years, but they do eventually get there. She on the other hand will need years of intense therapy or an abusive boyfriend to keep her in line.

For those who take more than they give...

You know them, we all have friends like them, the are the people who drain so much from you, yet give you back nothing in return. I know what you're thinking, if they give you nothing in return then why are they your friend, well it's not always that simple. I'm not trying to imply that I need alot from my friends, but as long as I know the people I care about would do just about any thing for me I'm ok. Just the knowldge itself is enough for me. Sometimes we don't see bad people because they are so close to us. These people are the kind of friends that call you to spill their guts and insist that you listen intently, yet can't seem to focus when some thing important is happening to you. Some time we are just better friends to people than they are to us.
