I tend to expect anymore, during the aforementioned sushi dinner (at a great place up on Bernard, West of du Parc) I met a woman and her partner, who are friends of Ed‘s. The world is quite simply too small.
I was out
for sushi the other night to celebrate my friend Suki’s birthday. I have known her a little bit for a long time, and last time we’d seen one another we talked for a while about her first novel, which she’d completed and was shopping around. Anyhow – the other night I asked and it seems things are going well, which is really cool news. At the previous dinner, Suki had given me her card, which of course I promptly lost. But I found it again last night, and through it I also found this, a little website for Go Through the Waves the first novel by Suki Lee.
Shout out to former
Montrealers! Hey – Eaton’s has been closed for a while, but today I drove by and the old Eaton sign running down the corner on de Maisonneuve has been covered, letter by letter – it now reads “Ailes.” Hundreds of dead Westmount matrons are rolling in their graves. That’s right – Les Ailes de la mode has taken over the first 4 floors of the building. In an interesting bit of irony (well, irony for like 3 people), Les ailes is owned by the San Francisco Clothing Group, a company based… here in Montreal. Pictures to come this weekend.
Is it a bish
? Or a fird? This week’s Economist has a really good cover.
Public notice
: If I am ever injured or otherwise debilitated to the extent that I can no longer walk or stand under my own power, please walk right past the standard wheelchairs and buy me this one – the Independence 3000. There’s a story about it in Wired News today and I saw a long news piece on TV about it a few months ago. This thing is excellent. Knowing (and having known) several people who use a chair, I would do anything to go for such an alternative.
