 ste-catherine & the super sexe capes was chatting with an italian who had never been to montreal before, and I guess it is kinda weird that you can go from a church to a strip club to a maternity wear store and then to celine dion’s diner in the space of half a block. 28 September 2007
oh yeah, I forgot to mention I went to the variations on glenn gould concert at radio-canada yesterday.
it was kinda lame. I was expecting to be able to see the montreal pianist perform–but when we arrived there was nary a piano in sight. we watched a video montage of the 6-pianists-in-their-6-cities with crappy video and cheesy landscape shots fading into the video feed for the whole two hours. (oh yeah, and TWO HOURS? they played all the repeats.) interesting idea. just not well executed. 17 September 2007
arrived ten minutes early to my 8.30 class (hooray for jetlag), and I suddenly have the urge to smoke. it’s not enough time to do anything substantive + it would be incredible to do something quick to relax. hence my thoughts turn to smoking. QED. too much social conditioning I guess (damn you smokers around me). so I’m back to impossibly blue skies, fashionable people and chic cafes, but also to that ever-present pressure of being in a place where your life is just too established. social, financial, academic, work (etc. etc. etc.) obligations. you know, that feeling of having approximately 1,038 things to do for yesterday (though I am rather proud of finally getting my inbox down to < 200 messages). a feeling I’ve been gladly without for the past 8 months. but environmental economics is about to start. guess I’m not having that smoke. |
