Chantale and I found ourselves locked outside for 3 hours this morning. Luckily, we had a camera to help pass the time. Expect some shots from that adventure in the next few weeks.

Spider's are freaking creepy, especially huge ones that jump onto your neck and crawl all over.

for the record, these are traffic pylons submerged in an inner-city swamp.

Here we have a photograph of an inner-city swamp, complete with submerged traffic pylons. This mess has been hanging out at St. Laurent for as long as I've been in the city. There's tons of tangled metal bars, which used to make up the frame of a building in this lot. It's fenced off, as if they wanted to keep it this way.

Great for the ducks!

This is an entire block across the street from us that's fired out and abandoned, hopefully it goes soon. Makes a great wall for posting bills, though.

Want to know how to kill a few hours of time every day? Pick up a Wii. These things are still incredible to me. We're currently addicted to Steven Spielberg's Boom Blox, and of course, Mario Kart Wii.

There's a Quebecois on a float with a megaphone outside my window. I'm assuming it's the Formula 1 parade. Monday morning at 9:30? Be more ridiculous, please.

It's quite literally the first day of summer here in Montreal. +30 degrees and so humid you're dripping. We'll need to install the air conditioning right now, or we may lose the chinchilla to heat exhaustion.

And nobody wants to lose a chinchilla.

Value Village thought it'd be a great idea to strip down barbie dolls, throw them in plastic bags and sell them by the registers. Impulse buys, anyone?
