July 2006 RE: Now I ain't sayin' she's a golddiger
Argh that Weather.The only thing positive about humidity is that it makes my hair curlier. Chinese Food boxWill I have to go to New York to get some Chinese food in one of those boxes?
I really want to go sit in a park, open my Chinese food box, crack chop sticks and eat, I really do.
Just noticed that

Watch it.
Festival du Hot DogPourriez vous croire que je suis aller au Festival du Hot Dog 2006 a Notre-Dame-Du--Lac. Le Festival du Hot Dog! Cool, non?
"Mais Alex, vite vite!", je vous entend dire, "raconte nous ce qui se passe au Festival du Hot Dog!"
Tres simple.
Le tout dure une journee... pas plus (de toute facon, qui veut manger des hot dog pendant plus d'une journee..)!
C'est a la plage de notre-Dame-du-Lac, les gens montent leur tente tout autour, prennent de la bierre, font du sea-doo, du bateau, du kayak, du BRUIT. Boivent de la bierre, mangent des hots dogs tout lapres-midi, le soir aussi, plus de bierre. Vers les 11 hres, tout le monde est quand meme soul, il y a de la musique boom boom tchi ka boom depuis le debut de l'apres-midi. Il y avait du monde, du monde et encore plus de monde!
Et puis vers minuit, ils envoient des feux d'artifices a partir d'un quai sur le lac. J'ai d'ailleurs ete impressionnee par la taille et la qualite des feux. Pas des feux de depanneur!
Relax comme Festival , non?
Il s'est mis a pleuvoir tout de suite apres les feux, dommage.
Le ledemain matin, il pleuvait toujours. En se reveillant dans un grand lit douillet, on a eu une pensee pour les gens dans les tentes qui se reveilleraient, humides, trempes, glaces, lendemain de brosse, geule de bois, vomissant des hot dogs et de la bierre.

Mapple Leaf Pub - Covent Garden - LondonCovent Garden at night is amazing! It's looks like, feels like, smells like Le vieux Quebec. I had some good time walking around. Streets are crowded at night whatever day of the week it is. Just pick your pub, dance club or restaurant. Then why on earth did we end up at Mapple Leaf pub?
Welcome to Mapple Leaf Pub!
What the heck ?
I have to confess that I had to have some Strongbow there on July 1st. Although Canadia number 1 (also called Kyle) managed to drop is first one. Splash! But still, felt good. London, Canada day, Canada Pub! "Ok too crowded, let's get out of here! Are we going to the Zoo Bar yet ?" Aw. Party animals!
July 2006 La machine a espresso de ma mèreJ'aurais un service public à demander.
Si un jour vous vous trouvez dans la cuisine chez mes parents avec ma mère, il serait vraiment très apprécié de passe rle commentaire que La machine a espresso ne va pas très bien avec le frigo. Par exemple: "vous savez Judith, Alex avait raison, vous devriez vous procurer une machine à espresso en Stainless!"
Kind regards
Alex.
My Top13 in OttawaA night at Mercury Lounge and Zaphod's
A sugar and lemon beavertail
Going for a run in the town around 8 pm
Bubble tea on Dalhousie
Walking on U of O campus on a suturday morning, while it's all still sleepy
International movie night on Thursdays (finger crossed)
Taking a walk @ night with Sandra Dee to the terrasse with the awsome view
Throwing a football instead of Economics
Cheap Indian buffet on a week day for lunch (Corner of Rideau, Cumberland)
Having a latte at Timothy's with 20% off (Arnault serving it, of course)
A sandwcih from La Bottega
Skating on the canal (because it's frozen sometimes)
Going to NAC with Buzz Tickets
Getting wireless all over campus!
Of course, it's a top13, so 14 isn't actually part of the top13. Barrymore's on a Sunday night - 80's night.
Repeat step 1 to 6 every week if you want. (Step 7 isn't really necessary) Jour de pluieCette sensation de tout contrôler.
Ça n'arrive pas chaque jour, quelques fois seulement. Souvent causée par l'impression d'avoir pris une sacrée bonne décision, la bonne décision. Ou encore d'être à un endroit où l'on se sent vraiment bien, particulièrement bien, jusqu'à dire l'endroit parfait.
Sensation éphémère.
On change de cadre. Quelques temps plus tard, la décision s'avère ne pas être exactement celle qu'il fallait prendre.
La perfection est disparue.
Tout de même étourdis par l'assurance que l'on avait un peu plus tôt, dégoûtés par cette fausse joie.Certes, on se démerde, on s'adapte.
Le décor a bel et bien changé,
le Millenium Bridge n'est plus qu'une image, autant que Notre-Dame-du-Lac, image fixe à laquelle on s'accroche lors d'un jour de pluie.
Jour de pluie.
