After a relaxing afternoon at the Olympic Park we decided to check out old Montreal / Paris lite. I’ve never been to Paris or Europe for that matter but from all the movies I’ve seen it looked pretty similar The streets were narrow and the architecture was gorgeous. The only thing missing was Jerry Lewis.

My impression of the French can be summed up in three simple points:
- They make amazingly tasty bread
- Have a bleak outlook on life (existentialism)
and - All French women are promiscuous.
Most people would argue that this is a grossly inaccurate representation of the french. But keep in mind my first exposure to French culture was back when I was an impressionable sixteen year old attending an all boy catholic high school assigned to read the Stranger by Camus. I can’t help it if the scene where Meursault travels to the beach, meets Maria and within minutes hops in bed with her resonated so strongly.
Flash forward to present day and here I am sitting on the grass in a Montreal park when this woman strolls by and in less than five minutes invites me to take “a walk in the woods.” Looking back I guess I was a pretty perceptive sixteen year old. You have to love French women.
The women of Montreal are gorgeous and super friendly. I am not sure I will return to NYC.
It’s never a good idea to pack while drunk and it’s even worse to pack when you are drunk and watching a movie. You end up getting distracted and packing all the wrong things.
It seems Microsoft finally has a solid Live Arcade publishing calender. Two weeks ago they released Bionic Commando Rearmed then Geometry Wars Evolved 2 the subsequent week and now Castle Crashers. If you love old school side scrolling beat’m ups pick this game up.
I think I laughed once and it was at myself for renting this piece of shit. I would normally post the actual movie poster but considering it, like the movie, was awful I decided to post the teaser poster. Which oddly enough is funnier than the movie itself.
All summer Pab has wanted to hit the roof top bar at the Empire Hotel and tonight we finally got around to it. The view was amazing and the talent top notch but I got the impression these women were looking to pick up wealthy men.
I am starting to get a bit tired of the pretentiousness and feeling of entitlement NYC women carry around.
Don’t ask me why but I want this.
I decided to play tour guide on our second date.
- Ride the Central Park Carousel
- Check out the Hayden Planetarium and Museum of Natural History
- Get an All American Hamburger for dinner
- Introduce her to Jacques Torres chocolates
I think she likes me 
Spent the evening with the DTAS crew, bar hoping. The highlight of the night was the Boxing Machine (commonly seen at carnivals) located in the back of Cheap Shots.
