realtor reference
Does anyone know of a good realtor in Montreal? (to help buy a place) Thanks!
boneheads
Alex rightly complains (en français mes chéris) that the towns of Hampstead and TMR are handing out free poop bags to dog owners… Whilst any purchase of anything is accompanied by a free plastic bag. Need we have more? Boneheads. My borough is moving from the recycling bin to the recycling bag next week. At first I...
good news for games in montreal
Eidos Interactive (Tomb Raider, Hitman) is setting up shop in Montreal in March.
wounded city
A gunman opened fire in Dawson college today in Montreal, down the road from my place of work. As we madly dashed to fix the last of the bugs on our game, we heard the sirens rushing to the site of the shootings down the road. Despite this, the events seemed unreal, perhaps because we...

there’s a theme here
I notice how much of a particular culture Montreal has, and how much of a Montrealer I am, whenever I’m away from it. Getting home to my own life, bed and timezone on Friday night was absolute rapture, and I wanted to take it in all weekend. So Saturday night, Z and I shared a...
man down
And while we’re on the topic of Why-Oh-God-Why… My hero Saku is out for the series. For those of you Montrealers who have been living under a rock, our Finnish captain got a stick to the left eye last night (despite wearing a visor). It was shocking to see him grasping blindly to find his...
it really is the best game there is
Lucky me, I got to go to both Canadiens games this week, both of which they won. Random observations: - If I ever want to really simplify my life, I’ll quit my job as a producer and become a Molson Ex bimbo. I can clap, clap, cla-cla-clap, cla-cla-cla-clap, cla-clap and use a tambourine like they...
it’s good to be a nerd
What wholesome fun it is to go to a pub, meet perfectly friendly strangers, and hand them their asses. Michel, Suzanne and I had a jolly time partaking in the Hurley’s Pub Quiz this evening. We kept a slight lead for seven of the eight rounds, throughout which I was haggling by SMS with our...
frosty blues
Ice ages are a long-term cooling of the earth’s temperature, and occur cyclically at intervals of 40000 to 100000 years. The fact that 10% of the Earth is currently under ice, that 14% more is in permafrost and that there is ice at both poles is not a “normal”, natural condition for this planet; we...
day of infamy
Barbara Daigneault was the cousin of my best friend in high school. She was in her final year of mechanical engineering, and helped her father, a professor, as a teaching assistant. Geneviève Bergeron (1968-1989), a scholarship student majoring in civil engineering. She was also a talented musician. Hélène Colgan (1966-1989), final year mechanical engineering student....
