Life

There are some moments so beautiful, they make all the crap in life worth living. Jean Talon Market, before the stores are open, when the streets are empty, and there's a heavy snowfall, is exactly one of those things.

'Tis still annoying not to be able to grab a coffee before work, tho.

I've reached 14 pages of my 14-18 page essay this morning, and now I'm mostly worried about not having enough space. I'm more than 31 pages into the revision of my novel, as well.

I'm also having good conversations with an old friend by email. Someone I've missed a lot :)

The other day, Thierry St-Cyr -- Bloc candidate in montrealais's riding -- said that their opponent Liza Frulla had nothing to contribute to the debate "a spaghetti sauce." Presumably it's intended as a very strange ethnic slur, since Frulla is of Italian descent. Certainly the local Italian community is taking it that way, according to Metro.

Leaving aside this really bizarre insult, I have to say that, to my knowledge, Liza Frulla has no added a spaghetti sauce to the debate, or at least not a good one. A good spaghetti sauce has consistency, and nothing Minister Frulla has added to the debate fits that description.

I love those moments when it feels like you're the only person in the world, seeing something ordinary made beautiful and magical. :)

I know. Winter is so beautiful in this city, but so many people complain about the snow and cold that they miss it :/

I looked into it. Turns out he was referring to the fact that one of her little news bulletins contained her favourite spaghetti sauce recipe.

Yeah, as you mentioned after I got home. No one's told the Italian community that, though.

I know. I was going to get to it this evening before the plumber came and kept needing things.

Plus I hadn't spoken to Sean in a very, very, very long time.
