Eddie Izzard in t-20 days. Oh yeah.

Canada Day doesn't exist in Montreal - the only Canada Day celebration I saw was a bunch of gorgeous naked Canadian SGs. Not that that's a bad celebration...

Unfortunately the roommate who left took the kitchen table, so eating will be interesting over the next little while.. as will sleeping as the bed I was crashing on is...

I feel like a dusty Lefty Frizzell song who's been cast through a thousand honky tonks by the strings of a hundred battered old guitars.

I guess I'll take a walk tonight
I know that I can't sleep

Offer up a bit of wisdom.

"As a bathtub lined with white porcelain,
When the hot water gives out or goes tepid,
So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion,
O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady."
- Ezra Pound

I'm sitting here sucking on strawberries and cake, perched atop a piece of cheesecake just so, preserved by some chef's alchemy like it had just melted out of the hoarfrost of...

I felt like a monster reincarnation of Horatio Alger, a man on the move, but just sick enough to be totally confident. - Hunter S. Thompson

SG Montreal is truly a group of degenerate drunken champions. We blasted our way across Ontario to extra loud rock 'n roll, amidst 24 hour Wendys, strange jailbait ice cream vendors, the imminent arrival of the big beaver, and...
