My new art deco condo?

I forgot to mention--when I went out with Swisgirl and Pelican the other day, the restaurant was in Outremont, and it was a bit of a walk from the metro. I never get out and about in Montreal, and Outremont is soooo beautiful (I gather we were in the Hasidic Jewish area, rather than the French-Canadian, unless they're mixed.)

The yards are tiny because it was all built up in the 30s or whatever, but man are the houses GORGEOUSly old, and the trees are old. You can get some serious house envy walking around there.

And the buildings on Bernard street are from the 1900s-30s--there are no high buildings so the whole street feels a little bit like a step out of time. Ooh look, I can get a condo around here for $350 000 +


We went to Maïko Sushi. I'm no sushi expert so I can't judge, but it tasted really good to me, and they put an orchid on your plate! And it was pretty and we were in the corner with a street view. And the service was very good.

I'm up to 9000-ish songs in my itunes library, which means I don't always know what I got in there. So I like to dump a bunch of stuff on my ipod and make discoveries when walking to work -- or today, while bussing downtown to meet my high school friends for another sushi supper.
