But so exhausted. From what I’ve seen, I think there are quite a few within the blogosphere who feel this way too. A bit of forewarning… the posts will be a bit sparse for the next week or so.
But don’t give up on me!

Check out these intriguing, yet awful, things called Shuellas. You know, umbrellas for your shoes? Think of them like condoms for your feet. If you’re wearing nice shoes and don’t want to get em wet you just put these babies on. When you get to your destination, you just peel them off, give them a shake and pack them in a pouch.

The concept is just okay, but I don’t think it’s practical. If you’re out on the town you probably don’t have a space in your teeny purse to stuff your Shuella pouch.

It’s not the most outrageous food-thing I’ve ever seen, but it’s pretty sad when you can’t make your own damn chocolate-cheese cake and have to resort to this.

Though it’s not vegan, such “advances” in food mock us people who make stuff from scratch from quality ingredients.

I keep forgetting to take pictures when I’m out, so here’s my half-eaten “plate of the day”. The lighting’s not so good, so it might just look like a hot mess to you.

There were thinly sliced zucchini, lots of tofu ricotta and tomato sauce layered between noodles. I got a HUGE piece, which was nice and comforting given it’s kinda chilly in Montreal right now. The Plateau’s got that nasty winter wind that races down the side of the mountain too.

Am I the only one who never has room for dessert after a meal? I’d love to have a piece or cake or pie at Aux Vivres some time… maybe they should micro-bite desserts (besides their truffles).

Not new by any means, Nude is one of my favourite songs off In Rainbows.
I once read an explanation of the song written by Thom Yorke, and can’t find it now. If I remember correctly, it’s about men who get grandiose, unrealistic ideas about having affairs. And this video, I think, going along with that thinking, makes the guys look foolish in slow-mo, bringing them back down to earth, knocking down any big ideas they might be fostering.

It’s funny. I didn’t like Radiohead til they ventured into electronic sounds with Kid A. They’re probably the biggest, well-known band I like and I’m not afraid to say it. Though, I will most likely never go to see them in concert again. Unless it’s in a more intimate setting, and what are the odds of that happening again? Their show at Salle Wilfred-Pelletier was just amazing and a once in a lifetime experience… from the 5th row! I deftly smuggled my camera in and captured Thom Yorke in a real moment. Very neat.
