Time Flies & Then You Die

You wanna know what I did on Sunday ?

I stayed home. All day. Got out to get some food, that's all. Helped Miss Bijoux install the curtains she bought for our lovely living room. Read an old edition of the Mirror, and the current edition of Hour. And Nightlife's May issue. You can find proof of all that in my recycling bin.

We also watched delectable movies and worked on a flyer for my upcoming redheads party at Academy, on Oct. 2nd. Lots of movies, but you'll hear about them when it's time, which means not now, because I am too busy, as usual.

You wanna know what I did on Saturday ?

It was rainy. I got up with a headache. Read Voir. Downloaded - illegally - some music off the web. Went to work on my bike and when I got there, I was 100% soaked. It was busier than usual - we get to work and expect to do nothing. Oh well, guess we gotta learn. Afterwards I went back home, made a few phone calls, found out there was nothing interesting to do, except perhaps go to this loft party Romeo Kardec invited me at, the only problem being that he was gonna DJ only at 3 AM.

Miss Bijoux decided that I'd help her install a new mirror in our room and our bed's base, a huge metal thing that was taking way too much space in our living room. Now it's under the bed. Installed.

Guess what ? Around 11:30, I was in my bed, sleeping.

You wanna know what I did on Friday ?

I woke up. Took it easy. Gave Sean Kosa a call at 10 to wake his ass up. Asked him to be at Carré St-Louis at 11. He got there at 11:15. He had brought a bathrobe. Very funny. We took some pictures next to the fountain, and then in a trashy alley, and then in a kid's playground not too far. Nice photo shoot. We then went to eat somewhere on St-Laurent, don't remember where exactly, but the food was pretty good !

Bought some headphones at Moog Audio. Ran into Jordan Dare in the street afterwards, and he told me that these Stanton headphones were crap. Oops. Didn't return them. I had to run.

Went to work. At 7, I was lucky enough to get the hell out of the office and head back home, where a pretty good meal was awaiting. Started drinking around 10. Vodka / Guru. Got out of my place shortly after 11 with Miss Bijoux, Mr. Bérêt & Mr. Finances in tow. I was DJ'ing at an UQAM party, for visual arts students, and was supposed to be on at 12. I was.

Beer was free for me, so I didn't mind asking for a few. People there didn't mind asking for special requests, and I didn't mind refusing them. That angered a few of 'em, of course, but it always does. The party was nice. There was a giant "Dollorama" pinata, that was smashed shortly after I began my set, which had the effect of litterally spraying hundreds of fake golden loonies made in chocolate. There were also vodka-soaked jello cubes but I didn't dare try 'em.

The party slowly died after 1:30 but I was paid until the end, so I stayed until 3 with a few enthusiastic dancers and had fun. Of course, most boys were young & clumsy, and most girls probably underage, but I wasn't there for the booty !

You wanna know what I did on Thursday ?

I got up VERY early to make sure I'd be on time for a visit to Benny's Farm, near Cavendish & Sherbrooke, with my "Pratique de l'Urbanisme : Expérience Étrangère et Contexte Québécois" course, at 9:30. I didn't make it, after all : I was drinking my coffee, showering really slow, and reading my emails, and I left the house at 9:15.

I went to Dollorama on St-Laurent with Miss Bijoux and we bought useful crap. Afterwards, we went to eat a quite enjoyable breakfast at "Le Grille-Pain", formerly the Toaster, victim of Quebec's language laws or self-censorship ? We were almost alone and the food was great. Miss Bijoux was on a roll and she biked with me to Centre Eaton, where we bought clothes. When we were done, we came back around St-Denis, and I headed to UQAM for my "Population, Urbanisation & Développement" course, where I proceded to drift off to sleep repeatedly.

After a nice meal at home, it was time to head back downtown for the premiere of JACKASS 2. Yes, I won tickets in a Mirror contest.

There were lots of jocks in the attendance, and it's worth noting that they're the core audience of this kind of spectacle. Have you noticed that, as opposed to most "extreme" sports, no emphasis is put on chicks in Jackass ? It's an almost exclusive crew of guys, they do their stunts, they get crazy, scatological, naked, and they're not afraid of intimity. They stick things up their bums, they drink horse cum, they eat shit, etc... I am not going to list all the crazy stuff they pull because it would be pretty long, and rest assured that even if I am spoiling some of the good sketches, I'm only giving out about 1% of the amazing things you'll see if you dare watch this.

Don't take your mom to see this, guys. And don't take your girl either. This is definitly not a "first date" movie. Unless you want the girl to see how fuckin' stoopid you are, that is.
