Tegan & Sara-Sainthood



Heyo! Getting pretty excited for Halloween.. pretty much one of the best times of year, I'd say. Skull courtesy of Jamie Vandal.
Montreal in the fall is really, really nice. I've been going on lots of walks/exploring etc. Also remembered how great Half-Cabs are for extended periods of outdoors time.. :S

Lac des Castors is a cool duckpond halfway up Mont-Royal that was designed by the same guy that designed Central Park in NYC. Also, best hot chocolate so far in MTL..



The St. Laurent!
Steph picked up a new bag!
Went to La Ronde for Cecily's birthday bash. So fun! I really thought I was an experienced rollercoaster rider, but as it turns out, my stomach told me otherwise. Sat out on a few, and opted to keep my poutine with me. It was Steph's first time, and she went on everyone! What a trooper. Try and spot her..





Oldest rollercoaster in North America! My fave.


Thanksgiving dinner went off without a hitch. 15lb bird successfully roasted and carved! :)

Have you seen this video that plays before movies in theaters? Oh man. Shiloh=worst. ever.

Meeeeoooow!

So when does it take your picture? Should I smile now?

Construction is almost finished on the Smith family estate..
'Sufer' wigs available at VV.



Me in 40 years.

There's this sharp ledge in our apartment hallway. Two stubbed, bleeding toes on the first night living here. Great minds think alike. <3



Hope you gals and ghouls are happy and warm.

Amy Winehouse




Oh hey. So I've had a pretty busy week. Last saturday I got on a bus and headed to Toronto for a visit with ol' Matt. Dave was also in town since he was picking up his new whip.. 2006 Audi A3! Glad he made the right decision and joined the veedub/audi family :)
Cha Right! Not an R8, an A3.. but a man can dream.
Matt's got a pretty nice apartment with a rooftop BBQ area, ensuite laundry and funny stories.
Bros gotta eat.
Rather than digest these like Matt and I, Dave opted to rent them.
Went out for a fun night and met up with several winnipeg friends that now live in Ontario! At least I think it was fun? Thanks Pabst. The next day we scored some $10 tickets to the Jays/Mariners game at the SkyDome. Ken Griffey still plays and the Jays won. Way cool.



Don't forget to holla' at Brenda Silver for all your bling needs.

The best deal.

Went on a few sales calls with Dave to different small towns near Toronto. Not entirely sure what this town is about. Went to MTV live and felt like a 14 yr old girl. Kinda cool to check out live, and got to see Saosin. ya? no? Ok back to Montreal now.. Had the opportunity to see Winnipeg get killed by the Alouettes and 20 000 drunk frenchmen. Go WPG!


James at Fou Founes Electriques? Nah it's Sublime but pretty close, I'd say.
I've been helping my lovely lady with her homework.
Guess which one I drew..

Louie V pearl bike chain necklace! omg


My saturday night when Steph is out of town.
Saw the old-timer Nordiques play against university girls.. Also saw a girl get laid out on the ice by said Old-timers. All business!
Steve is alive and well. So am I. Hope you are taking care, and staying handsome/pretty.
