Who are you and how did you find me!?
Interrobang
Huh?
I have spies everywhere:
Spies drink martinis, and the occasional g&t:
We’re watching you.
As the sun began to subside behind the horizon, I thought I would try out some of the manual settings on my digital camera in the low light. These two are pretty straight-forward. Some of them turned out pretty crazy. Let me just add, I love sitting out on my balcony at night and watching the stars, and the lights, and the quiet. It may, in fact, be the best thing ever. Really.
The last two weekends I’ve spent at the beach. A week ago, I went down to the Oregon Coast to hang out with family in a house we rented in Lincoln City. I got to see my brother, sister, sister-in-law, mom, two nieces and a nephew. It was an awesome time. This picture is from that trip.
Yesterday, I went out to Westport, and read the new Harry Potter book while laying on a towel in the sun. I applied lotion, and thought I was doing okay, but my legs definately got a lot more burnt than I would have liked.
Still, there’s something about having been in the sun that makes me feel more full of energy, as though I might be solar-powered. This only heightens my suspicions that I may in fact be plantlife, masquerading as a human, and somewhere along the way the trauma of the human existence made me forget what I really am. I wonder if I should be plotting your downfall, or just studying you closely …
I steal all my Montreal links from the Montreal City Weblog, so you can always just go there and read more. But these are just the links I find of particular interest.
A man named Richard Florida talks about how Montreal has become a “creative center”, a “cutting-edge city that others would love to emulate.”
Over 2000 pictures indexed under “Montreal”. Woo, pictures!
A snazzy-looking journal from Montreal, with some slick film reviews.
David Carr of the New York Times talks about Montreal’s anglo-music scene, mentioning The Stills, Simple Plan, and others. One Montrealer scoffs at the attention, saying “What is going on here will continue to go on long after the attention has gone elsewhere.” Montreal is hip with or without attention from the New York Times, thank you very much.
The Hour talks about Montreal’s recent mention in Spin Magazine. More talk of music, and how the creative scene has been molded by the political background, though it sounds like Spin may have been a bit off the mark, there.
The following from Google News:
A tourist trip to Montreal,, and talk of art. Neat!
CTV offers proof that telemarketers are evil. Like we didn’t already know that. The shocker of this entire story is that people actually talk to telemarketers.
Ubisoft plans to create 1000 jobs in Montreal. Yay, video games!
And thus ends, for today, my obsession with Montreal.
À la prochaîne.
