Or, a vision in a dream. A Fragment.
who could not be in a good mood today, a sunny spring day? on my way to pick up some chocolate croissants (the best I’ve had in the city) at van horne bagel on victoria, I saw my first scraggily squirrel scampering about… and this pic, on my way to school: setting up tables outside! (so what if it’s on … Read More
I really miss this kind of food–there are muslim restaurants all over beijing, whose specialty is lamb, lamb, and lots of lamb. After I came back I tried an older xinjiang restaurant on côte-des-neiges, and was refreshed by the waitress and her distinctive accent when she greeted us in chinese: the xinjiang people are both beautiful and multilingual (as most … Read More
mount royal: it’s funny how 34% having english as a mother tongue constitutes a “large anglophone population”. 45% are immigrants. most probably a sure liberal riding again — guess Cotler’s office at the law faculty will remain empty… (cool, I didn’t know he helped start up project genesis)
not just an exercise in physics… so the other day it was freakout everything covered in sheets of ice. but I, taking the metro, had no problems getting to school, much to the amazement of anyone I ran into there (I’m still making my way around town with a cane, which everyone loves btw). all to say, it was rather … Read More
just came back from a great dimanche du conte — québécois storytelling in a nice little bar. to be able to tell a story over two hours is quite the skill indeed… I’m going to try to go more often — an interesting way for me to improve my french listening, as opposed to the mainly academic french in class. … Read More
so this month’s en route (that air canada magazine) made me laugh because of two things: 1) someone’s made a cocktail (the, uh, “Buttstrip”) including as one of the ingredients ¨¦mile bertrand’s spruce beer. (man, it’s been too long since I’ve had a burger and spruce beer down on notre dame…) 2) one of “canada’s best new restaurants” I know … Read More
who knew I’d be slower without crutches?! yes, yesterday I finally got rid of the damn things. the doctor said to go cold turkey: no cane. I’m wearing this walking boot (about as big as a ski boot) that doesn’t let me bend my foot past 90 deg. and moving very… awkwardly. So I need to get used to walking … Read More
The first thing anyone says about my crutches is “at least it’s not snowing!”. grrr. My next orthopedics appointment is tomorrow.
so I’ve decided to play for the badminton team again. Two weeks into it, and I’m playing a tournament in Sherbrooke. We’re into our 2nd match of doubles, 2nd game: 5-1, we have a good lead, we’re on a roll, I run forward, and someone smashes the back of my heel with a metal bat. what? hmmm, apparently the sudden … Read More
sittin’ at concordia by Norman Bethune’s statue. he’s the 2nd most famous canadian in china. … there’s a black pigeon nuzzling his neck.
