Monty, Je T'Aime

First of all, sweet holy hell it is humid in Montreal. Not only that, but it hasn't been sunny in days. It's like I'm being steamed to death in a pot of sadness. Blergh.

Second, my brother brought his special lady friend to visit Montreal today. Apparently, I was in charge with convincing her that it was an awesome city and she should totally want to move here right now. I hope she forgot all about the little falling out Montreal and I had a few weeks ago, when I was angrily cursing Montreal and planning on leaving it in a big wheel. I'm not certain how well I did, but I hope the combo of delicious honey chocolates and the D&Q store reeled her in.

I always find it strange showing off a city to a visitor. I feel like I should come off as being more cool than I really am, the kind of insider who knows where the best espresso place/venue/sock store is hidden. But, I am only human. I go to McDonald's sometimes, I usually get my coffee from the closest place to work and I'm as often at home watching episodes of Spaced as going to a show. But I do know a few good places and, like my ever-dwindling store of anecdotes, I'll exploit them for all the cred I can. Mwa ha ha.
