1st SMOG alert= Summer 2004 has started!

The air was thick today.
The cats woke me up with a crash of fashion magazines hitting the floor. 5 am.
It wasn't an earthquake. Just their reckless morning behaviour.
"Its summer!" they cried out into the heated still air. (I think that's what they said)
Earthquakes occur in Montreal more often than you think. I heard that the actual island has too much weight living on it. And that it is apparently supposed to crack in half at any given time.

Better hope that I sink into my watery/burning grave on the anglo half!
Tabernac! will echo off the buildings in Verdun from the bleu collars as they dive out of their 3 story 4 1/2's with twisted metal staircases and drown with their french half into their watery/burning cracked island of Montreal hell. I also hope I am not on the metro at this point in time.

I went through an earthquake here in Montreal a few years ago.
I woke up in a daze, looked at my uncontrolled shaking hands.
Hmmm. (Sober nonetheless) I wondered if I should dive under my bed. My cats were standing on my chest. I went back to sleep. I would love to die peacefully. Not by bullet blindfolded in a Mexican jail....or Arab jail mind you. Nor by the woman who will shortly become me in the future with my stolen wallet. "Impossibility is a greater motivational force than probability." -MG.

So I started Kung Fu last week. Now I have to add this to my Ninja list as follows:
1) karate
2) kickboxing
3) kung fu
4) misc self defence.
Basically, this is just to say, that if I had lived in the 60's I could have stolen Natasha's job and went to work with Boris. Besides, I look great in purple.



My neighbour is moving soon on Quebec's offical moving day:
JULY 1ST.
so I got to take a sneaky ninja glimpse through my blinds at the people looking at her place. I am all for the Cute young Chinese couple. I know their english isn't as good as mine, but i'm proud that they made it to Canada. What it would be like to start fresh, is really beyond me. Well Quebec is like another country. Try losing your wallet and getting a whole spanking brand new english identity. Its not so easy.

At least I might be able to get some good homecooked meals!
Dumplings with peanut sauce Miss Chiles?
I was going to run out and greet them. Invite them into my Asian-theme-martial-arts-gone-mad bedroom. But I decided to eat the last of my Dragon Beard candy instead. Sit back and watch The National.


I forget how that saying goes.
Is Fate really Fate, or to the skeptics, is it just Dumb Luck?
I caught Brian with Kate again.
.Sometimes its good to have friends.
.Sometimes its good just to be friends.
.Sometimes its good just to do friends.
Thanks for the reminder that I need MORE friends.

So as per the above mentioned the need for something more than yourself ultimately diminishes the need for yourself.
I can say that that book has been closed. I have a new arab identity. And a new book to write. Anyone up for a lifelong book deal? I have a red corvette now, did you forget?

Thank you Mike for getting me an iPOD. Hope you use plenty of bubblewrap to send it.
That is AFTER you put all of your Kyuss rarities onto it! (crossing fingers)

*I think the new baby will be due on the 13th*




Political debates are next week. Please watch.
