So, the cell biology & metabolism midterm? I don't feel too shabby about it. A few questions i ended up narrowing down to two choices and then guessing but eh, could have been worse.



So after that, Alexander being the gentleman he is, took me out for dinner. Yay curry! The curry was delicious but i got a mouthful of anise (Who the fuck just puts a giant CHUNK of anise in curry and keeps in there? Lola Rosa apparently) and that was gross. Boo hiss.


Then we ran over to SAQ for an emergency Porto run. I forget which bottle we got, but it was recommended to us by a surprisingly friendly clerk and it was pretty good for a $25 bottle.


This is today, and this is Alexander showing off his mighty mighty beard which he can grow in like 5 hours. Ridiculous.


in the foreground is delicious grilled vegetable panini and fresh fruit (mine) and in the background is a nutella-banana-strawberry crepe (alex's). If you go to Montréal, go to Crêpes2Go! Wretched name, but it's the best place ever. $5 for a panini + unlimited coffee. WTF, i know! Plus the old man who runs it is so damn adorable. The place is the size of a bathroom and only has two tables and a counter but still, so awesome.


And maybe the awesomess of free coffee may be biasing my judgement but the coffee there is better than the awful coffee-scented hot water from both Tim Hortons and Second Cup. I can't say anything about starbucks because I haven't been to one in about 5 years.

oh and i have a new comic and some drawings but my scanner is being a cockass! stupid scanner!
Also, i am listening to the Radar Brothers and for a while i used to think they are a little boring, but I forgot how so subtle and lovely they are.
