yes, i'm back

i have plenty of things to post, so within the next few days i will surpass merritt's blogging stats. though i doubt i'll ever catch up with fingers of fury wilonsky....

montreal was great. i had never vacationed on my own before, but now i know that it's a totally cool way to go. (not that i plan on going solo all the time, but it's fun). once i get all my pictures organized (they're split between the digital and a disposable camera cause i forgot the charger) i'll post them somewhere. flicker? i think that's what mert said.

a few thinks i learned in montreal:
- they're way hipper than people in dallas
- i think obesity is non-existent in such pedestrian areas
- little kids on the metro speaking french on the metro = adorable. smelly guys on the metro speaking french and following you at the street fair = sketchy.
- north really isn't north
- i really do remember some of the french from high school (merci madame elam!)
- the place seems to be ready to celebrate ANYTHING (botanical gardens anniversary! labor day sales! film festivals! osheaga!)
