holy holiday batman!
pah! finally a weekend to myself that can actually be counted as my summe holiday. a whole two and a half days of out-of-town-ness, time-with-friends-ness, and i-drove-how-far?!-ness all wrapped up into good times and relaxing rest.
i tripped up to ville-du-roi a few hours away from hogtown with some friends. we left after werk on friday and hit the highway around 7pm. we made good time, i'd say, only stopping for coffee once i think. we draf to friends' of their farm in napanee - saw avril's highschool and everything. wow me. a quaint coutry home with a real nice feel to it save the somewhat tense tension at times, but that's the stuff for someone else's blog i'm sure. wine and talk and wine and good conversation and wine and wine later we finally slept. oh, to sleep sans alarm clock. noice.
the saturday we headed into kingston for a family thing, that was nice and interesting to say the least. after a bit of time with a crowd of people i didnt't really know, and after a yumtastic greek dinner (of cordon bleu, who knew it's greek. tastetastic all the same), we draf to a ferry and crossed over to wolf island (how canine) and to another friend's cottage. a-maz-ing. i want to retire there. i mean, so what if that family isn't planning on moving or selling the place...ever... but i'll figure something out. i. want. it. absobeautiful layout, cozzyasfcuk feeling, bedrooms galore (enough, not "why so many?!", but perfect), hottub to boot. hoe. leaf. uck. needless to say this made for one of the most relaxing evenings i've had alll summer long. and, accordingly, i slept like a log. one of those logs that sleep for ever without tossing or turning or waking in the middle of the night. one of those amazingly well slept logs. yeah, i slept like that.
sunday brought a nice day of rain and sun and more driving. we opted to take the longer, more scenic route back to t.dot along the water, stopping in bath along the way. we also drove through prettytown/belleville and i saw SJW - beautiful architecture and what grounds! i'd like to go back for sure. we also stopped at lake on the montain prov. park. really cool site in prince edward county. we also drove through picton. a "proud loyalist town" and real nice, but i couldn't get the news stories out of my head (sorry pictonites).
the final leg of the drive home was sodden with rain, lit with lightning and loud with thunder. all the same, it was an amazing weekend.

a great weekend of firsts
friday the end-date for my contract (you will have read about that in previous posts, i’m sure…). the 3:30 p.m. finish was a welcomed end to my time at that office. i made my way to the busstop and went to meet a friend in midtown.
first first: boulangerie and walking through the neighbourhood close to where i once lived.
for three years i lived in midtown near y&e, but never explored the area. my friend recently got an apartment—que piso lindo—in the area and so we spent a few hours walking around. she took me a great little french bakery and treated me to a café and a pain au chocolat… délicieux.
second first: being embarrassed in the village
okay, so this isn’t necessarily a first – oft am i embarrassed in the village, but the way in which i was embarrassed is. out with friends friday night at a zrestaurant, we were served by a good-looking young man. i won’t dare write we flirted, but i will hazard we were chatting more than server/client might normally. one of my friends (term used lightly) assholed (used here as a verb…) to tell said server that “my friend thinks your hot hot hot.” quoth the asshole (used here as a noun). said server was scarce from that point on. …or perhaps we just left before he returned. it was soon after that we left. glass half-full, glass half-full.
third first: the beach/es and library with children
saturday morning i metro’ed down to the east end to meet a friend and her little ones. we went down to the beach/es (to please all possible readers, both “official” terms are here used in reference to the hogtown neighbouhood) to visit the bibliothèque and read some books en français, then walked down the boardwalk to the water’s edge. a good few hours later we said goodbye and au-revoir.
fourth first: painting, but not painting, but painting
another friend of mine recently moved back to t.dot and just moved into a place on reine rue. a nice space that she was painting. she enlisted a team of us to help paint the walls and the trim. although i paint (i.e. with an easel) i hadn’t ere painted (i.e. on walls). this proved fun and somewhat relaxing. i now have the urge to redo my apartment.
fifth first: stolen latte
i had my v.bean latte stolen from the bar at not1stglass this afternoon. i didn’t really care, and the folks made me a new one chop chop, but waddabitch who done took my bev. cut a bitch.

le contraire de l'opposé
ma vie est actuellement un peut fuckée. vous vous souviendrez de mes entrées au sujet de mon fracase d'emploi. ben, hier fut la dernière journée de mon contrat. mardi est la première d'un nouveau... encore dans les boonies pourtant un boulot est un boulot et j'ai vachement besoin de l'argent (comme tout le monde - et je ne veux pas dire comme le cliché comme tout le monde mais vraiment tout.le.monde. on est en récession, allô...) j'y commence a 8h30 mardi, après longue fin de semaine (whoo!)...
hier après le travail je suis descendu voir une de mes amis qui je n'ai pas vu voilà un bon bout de temps. elle est très importante dans ma vie et je devrais vraiment passer plus de temps avec elle... bon, aprèw ça je suis descendu au centre-ville pour un get-together mensuel d'un group dont je suis membre. g.oo.d t.im.es le waiter était super cute. j'aimerais croire que nous flirtions, pourtant je suis pessimiste (seulement avec ma vie, autrement je suis optimiste total). maaais; une personne à la table lui a fait passer un message : "mon ami en rouge (je portait du rouge) pense que tu es hot hot beaucoup hot!" voyons, oké. c'est bel et bien le fun de blaguer entre amis de passer des tels messages, mais on ne le fait pas. point. frustrant. le mec nous a ignoré dès ce moment... ou bien nous nous sommes en allés avant qu'il ne soit retourné. meh, la vie la vie.
ce matin je suis allé recontrer une bonne amie et ses p'tits deux. j'adore les Beaches (le cartier et les plages) de la ville. un trip à la bibliothèque, ensuite une promenade le long du trottoir/boardwalk. mmm quel soleil!
d'un matin ensoleilé et ensourisé à un après-midi sombre et triste et seul... quels ups et downs me passent... comme je me fruste. whatev, ça me met égal; la vie la vie. une chose à la fois.
qu'avez-vous fait/que faîtes-vous ce long weekend?
hic extraneus sum. et vos?
