It just bothers me that of all those damn Telus brand jumping goats, not one of them has genitalia. How paranoid/prudish can a corporation be?

What has come of us? That's the first question i would ask the person who's job it was to photoshop off goat dick. One wonders if s/he went to art school for that.

Wow.

I now have a Canadian cell phone and [as of this coming Saturday] internet in my loft. If I'm not careful, I may end up "within reach" of people again soon.

Who knows what that could lead to? Trouble is my only guess.

When I talk to people back in California, I like being able to easily convince them that Montreal has a foot of snow on the ground right now.

They seem impressed by my fortitude in being here.

I am now soo terribly sunburned. The next time I do an entire 16 hour raodtrip with the top down, sun screen will be more prominently involved.

On a less crispy note, the apartment hunt is going quite swimmingly. No leases are signed yet, but there are definitely some nice places to be had in this city.

Some long time ago, it was on a first date I believe, an interlocutor asked why my last relationships had broken up. The most appropriate answer came to mind rather quickly: selfishness. Sometimes it was me who bore the blame, and sometimes it was my partner, but it I can think of no greater impetus to the ending of any relationship. As I get older...
