LOL. I really..."vendeur de brochettes"! LOL. I really need to start following the french media more. My laziness in this regard puts me at arms length from a lot of the hot political and cultural discussion in this town.OlmanFeelyushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521657876810568251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777096.post-49712045872018453342010-07-08T17:31:29.887-04:002010-07-08T17:31:29.887-04:00I'd rather run away with the Greenpeace girl, ...I'd rather run away with the Greenpeace girl, but hey, whatever spins your wheels.<br /><br />The whole cat-as-a-puddle never cease to amaze me.

Did you catch him on Arcand this morning?

Good times.<br /><br />The cafés are a great way to skip the canicule for us self employed types. You hang in these places and you see three types of patrons:<br /><br />-Mothers and fathers with kids fast asleep in strollers<br /><br />-Hipsters being hip<br /><br />-Fat nerds revelling in the conditionned-air goodness they can't afford for their already so-cheap-I-can't-beleive-it's-on-the-Plateau appartments.<br /><br />Me, I'm one of the fat nerds, yo.Olivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280119238261445564noreply@blogger.com
