Um... who?

It will either be profoundly amazing or profoundly disappointing. Either way, unmissable.

I feel some sort of atonement is in order so here goes.

I offer sincere apologies to la Ville Reine for years of snickers and snide remarks at the very mention of you and your inhabitants.

You welcomed me with open arms, grinned ever so slyly and plied me with your wonderful wares. I could not ask for more.

Thanks for the wonderful journey(ahem) and...

Wow. Have you considered joining the tourist board? They've been having trouble articulating the city's value proposition.
valcapone:
Quasi-subliminal? No way. Here is some non-subliminal advertising: DRINK MORE MOCHA!

Just kidding; I actually don't give a fuck if anyone ever comes into Starbucks. And, in fact, I'd rather prefer that they didn't. It'd be nicer if they bought from non-chain, local places with personality.

Tonight it's all about Heavy Trash.

Tomorrow it's all about la ville reine and its scrumptious inhabitants.

Definitely.

I'm dancing around to Stevie Nix right now.

'Aaaahhhh to be 33 forever'


p.s. I ate sushi for supper and I've never worn pleather.

She put her mouth around a difficult question: Sushi? Aren't you one of those anti-sea types?
valcapone:
Yeah, but I asked for stories in that particular entry, and you didn't give me one, hence my comment. It's nice to know that you're actually reading my entries. tongue

Can anyone explain why I'm hearing the Champ Cars race?? Kaffeine, we sort of live in the same neighborhood, are you hearing this also??

Anyway, after convincing myself that I was broke, I went and did the logical thing: spent a shit load of money on CDs.

Okay, fine. It's the hair too.

I live on Iberville, a.k.a., Rosemont Drag Strip, so every day sounds like F1 to me.

The Stooges make me hot; that Dears vynil you described makes me quiver. Money well spent, m'dear.

I have just found out (okay, some I had forgotten about) some amazing (hidden) perks that go with my job.

1- I get a special rate for train and bus travel even if it's not business related.

2- I have a lawyer on retainer (emergency cell phone number and all).

3- I can get prescribed anything I want or fast tracked to any medical treatment/referral...

Are you suggesting that I am fibbing about Fugdsicles?
valcapone:
That is probably true. But that makes it even weirder that he would do something like pay my phone bill for me. Or waste his time with me at all when he could just hire a prostitute. Then again, I guess I'm cheaper than a hooker, if you want to look at it that way... obviously I should be demanding more expensive dinners.

On tonight's menu:

An entre of feta cheese, diced cherry tomato and Lebanese cucumber sprinkled with chopped basil and a sundried tomato dressing.

The main course will be comprised of a green curried chicken with asparagus, Swiss chard and red peppers served on a bed of sweet basmati rice.

Dessert is a maple and dark chocolate pouding au pain topped with a hint of cream....

Oh yeah? So if I start stalking you again, you won't freak out? I'll be in the neighbourhood feeding my friend's cats...

Sneaky! You wanted me to believe you were reading Cohen. Admit it. wink

Oh, and I'd come for dinner, but in 15 minutes, my artichokes stuffed with romano, parmesan, tomato, breadcrumbs and seasoning will be ready.

Haha really? My new grandma (my grandad remarried, she's younger...like my moms age) wanted a piece for their house, I gave them Nadine and she returned it because you could see a boobie (in her words). *LOL
kaffeine:
Sitting alone and reading Cohen should be getting you laid left, right and centre (as well as upside-down, in-between, and every position in the Kama Sutra). THAT'S what.

Christian rock, angry peace protests, ducks and a Double Muff....

So last night I saw Danielson the Christian rock ensemble from South Jersey. They were alot of fun what with their faux-policeman outfits and badges of hearts worn on their sleeves (get it?).

They were surprisingly not sanctimonious or preachy and they had that right amount of genuine candor and facetiousness about them ('wanna do...

Annoying the neighbors is what guitar is all about sometimes. Not giving a shit if they complain once or ten times....you just keep playing.
