Ah, home sweet home... or downtown sweet downtown, rather... I don't know if Montreal is especially a happy city, or anything, but it's nice walking around on a summer evening.

Ah, I was being boring. No detail. Hmmm. What's the city like? 1) The metro (subway) lines are colour coded. Orange, yellow, green, blue. Imagine if they did that in New York--there'd have to be colours like chartreuse and taupe. Or maybe they'd have to invent colours like the people who make paint samples do--Rainy Day Grey, Snail Blue, Fuschia Romance, etc. 2) There are many film festivals. Right now there's this Fantasia film fest going on in the Concordia theatre. There are some music festivals (Jazz being the most famous one), but Ontario probably has more. Very mean of it, eh? 3) People speak Fringlish, or Franglais. That is, a mix of French and English. "C'est cool, non?" "B'en oui, c'est totally beaucoup de fun. 4) There are some nice long walkable streets, like St. Laurent and Sherbrooke. There. Four items is enough for now. More, and I'll be kicked out of the express line.

I have something for you to do if you're in Montreal! There is a small bookstore called The Word on 469 Milton Street (near McGill). In the poetry section near the front, there should be several copies of my chapbook. The title is Songs of Irrelevance, and the cover is pale green. On the front there's a picture of James Joyce with an iPod. It costs three dollars to buy and zero dollars to look at. So if any of you are interested, it would be really cool to hear another blatherperson's opinion on it. I know, I know, shameless self-promotion. User24 corrupted me. :)
