hilariousity that i thought i would share...
We were on our way to purchase a camera with my dad and found ourselves looking at the sign for the Zanzabar strip club.
The sign read... " 'Tis the season to meet Molly".
Needless to say that was the line of the week.
Happy Holidays

Happy Christmas H3!
I went to church.
The raging atheist went to Church.
If you're against shameless irreverence, please stop reading here. By continuing to read past this point, you agree not to complain about what a bad person I am.
I sat beside my little brother, who delighted in picking apart the words of the lord as much as I did. I complained about classism during the priest's chat with the kids sitting in front of the altar: "Mary and Joseph didn't have much money, so they were... what?" "Poor, that's right."
I also have a policy of flirting with someone every time I go to church. Ideally, I'd sit with my friend Matt, and we'd enjoy our sexy sacrilege together, but he wasn't there, so I had to settle for chatting up a grade 12 girl from my highschool, rather disappointing. Luckily, that wasn't actually all of my flirting, but I'll get to that later.
My best decision of the entire evening was to bring some technology with me, namely an iPod and cell phone. The iPod was the real life saver during such creepy moments as the apostle's creed. Ironically, I had actually been listening to christian gangster rap all day. Although I do probably know half the Christmas mass by heart, I wasn't so rude as to keep my headphones the entire time. They were just for emergencies. People praying make me really uncomfortable.
The cell phone, however, was mainly just to satisfy my atheist urges in ways that muttering blasphemous comments into my brother's ear could not.
Here are the text messages that ensued, starting with one to a friend inside the church.
To: Hilary Duff Cell
"Church is not a good place for me. All I can see in that adorable choir of children are innocent souls being ensnared, pure minds, corrupted.
We later decided to sit together next year.
The next recipient was not present.
Outgoing:
"I do not belong in Church. *twitch* must... flirt..."
Incoming:
"You're a terrible person. Is that our lord's flesh in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me."
Outgoing:
"Have you felt the lord within you?"
Incoming:
"Forgive me Father for I have sinned. So many sins..."
Outgoing:
"Then kneel before me...."
Incoming:
"I think I lost my rosary somewhere in the pews. Will you help me look?"
Outgoing:
"I think I saw it in the confessional."
I'm trying to figure out if i should even go next year, but I feel like it's an integral part of actually celebrating Christmas, paying homage to its roots, rather than just paying for merchandise.

Gotta Catch 'Em All!
No, not actually. We'll probably be playing first to get all eight badges. Who's in! Pokemon challenges are awesome. Any suggestions on rules, game selection, etc? Right now, the general consensus appears to leaning toward Red or Blue, possibly Yellow. Gameboys are more fun, but emulation might be allowed? Inputz plz. Also, don't forget about the Baby Photo game. Everyone's going to bring a baby photo from home, and we're going to post/number them and play the guessing game. Woo, I'll blog about that as we get closer to the new year. The starting time for both these events is next semester, by the way.

There is no word to describe Ann Coulter's perfection. So I'm forced to make one up; and I'm going to do so right now: scrumtrelescent. She is a blinding, brilliant light from heaven.
For those of you who haven't been exposed to her yet, please indulge yourself

Dear H3
Now I feel like a complete douche and i want to formally apologise to anyone I let down that night. I must have been completely drunk/stoned and I didn't know what I was doing and I am sorry, I would never conciously do that.
So again I am sorry. Please forgive me h3?

Upper A
The point is it was totally uncalled for - we did nothing to get them back the first time yet they still come back to piss us off - and its time for REVENGE.
Read the frikin blog, comment, and give us some ideas on how the hay we should get them back. We can't just keep turning the other cheek.
No John, I am not baking them a cake.

I was thinking black ( or another colour) fleece one-piece pajamas (or sweatpants) with H3 (in pink?)on the back!! Those would be SO warm in the winter!
Any other ideas? I will take the liberty of ordering them and designing them!
So. let me know your ideas and WHO wants, i will put up a sign up sheet and we will be toasty H3ers!
MMM toast...

Have a happy Thanksgiving! See you all Tuesday!

Because the internet doesn't care where you are
Point is, I just had a shower in a room with a heated floor. Woah.
Leaving rez is freaky. There's so much space with so few people, even more so than in upper A. The cubicle I showered in wasn't even opaque, and I didn't have to wear flipflops.
The shampoo was waiting for me in the shower.
I'm going out for dinner, but this post isn't over.

MAX
I AM SO CONFUSED!
please stop.
k sweeeet
dictionary.com is getting explicit and wrong...
I posted yesterday's dictionary.com word of the day (not looking at what it was -bad idea) and indeed it was just STRANGE(or lame...as remi put it). Please disregard it....
On another note, hope you all have fantastic weekends!
Today's word of the day is :
legerdemain \lej-ur-duh-MAIN\, noun:
1. Sleight of hand.
2. A display of skill, trickery, or artful deception.
Personally this word is fantastic. For example: The legerdemain produced by the magician was absolutely phantasmagorical.

Word to your mother
circumlocution \sir-kuhm-loh-KYOO-shuhn\, noun:
The use of many words to express an idea that might be expressed by few; indirect or roundabout language.
Hallowe'en?
but appearently no one else has love for the idea. Remember, there has to be at least 12 ish distinguishable characters in the theme, as i'm sure not everrryonee will end up making a costume. Other ideas include:
Bibical Characters (possibly offencive)
Wizard of Oz (kind of like Alice in Wonderland, but harder)
Historical Figures (for a more academically conscious halloween)
Robinhood + Friends
Comic book characters (lammmme for a batman movie release year)
Sailors (nautical anything is hot business)
Barack Obama (15 of him)
Seven deadly sins (...we could have repeats/two person costumes?)
H3 (because we're already legendary enough to begin with)
Really, I've got nothing. Post your ideas/feedback.
kaybai.

3/3 : A Note to Children
Your primary goal at this point in your life must be to one expanding your self-awareness. I speak specifically about awareness of your sleep balance. For example, - H VHY VHYVUJFYTYCij - (thanks Jessie) for then entirety of the day, I was painfully of my incredible fatigue. I'm really sleep deprived. Undj ,vhycfvk. bhbul ,njui7y8r567y, byj467u (thanks again Jessie)iuyutyuriuto9iypurtyiugtyroiutyurliugyriuyruo (Tereza likes computers too) Last saturday, I babysat a three year old who stayed up past 10:30 watching movies with me before falling asleep on the couch. As soon as he put on the second movie, he started asking if it was almost over, and could barely keep his eyes open, but he persisted. Freakin' crazy kid didn't let me get any homework done, 'cause I was busy watching the movie with him and talking to him about it.
I'm going to go do something cool now, somewhere, just like they told me I should now that I live in this oh-so-cool city of Montreal...
Dammit, I'm too tired for this.

2/3 : Good Mor...Night?
I get up at five virtually every morning. As such, I don't generally expect to see anyone around, but weekends present a special case, and last saturday morning I got exactly what I'd been waiting for:
I caught Blondie coming home from a wild night out at Molson. Tee Hee!
It was kinda nice; I don't usually have anyone see me out the door. Also, it was fun, 'cause none of us on H3 can keep track of her, but I caught her.
The whole thing reminds me of sneaking in late back home. My mother works 12 hours shifts, and as such, she gets up at six in the morning. This meant that I HAD to be home before six, because she would always check my room if she didn't know that I was home.
She never checked very carefully though.
Pretending to be sleeping is easy enough, especially 'cause usually sleep on my side. If I'm facing away from the door, the best indicator she has is my breathing rate. In a real hurry? Pretending I'm in my pyjamas is even easier, 'cause I never sleep with a shirt on. Pretending there's no one else in my bed, though? That takes skill.
My father heard my bedmate scampering out the door soon after, and easily guessed who it was, but it turns out I'm the only snitch in the family.
1/3 The Ballad of John and SoCo
It seems, you see, that our very own John is more of a hippie, or perhaps just even more of a beatles fan, than we realized. I discovered this when I came home late one night to find him holding his very own bed-in on one of the common room couches. Unlike his namesake, our John was ostensibly alone in his pursuits, but when I sought to move him, it became apparent that there was a force much greater than his desire for world peace holding him to the couch, a force much greater than even a small asian woman, for John was passed out drunk, held to the couch by two thousand newtons of his own completely limp body mass. The devious SoCo must have worked it's charm on him, and broken up the glorious group that is H35. What a great shame. My continued attempts to wake him all failed - I think would have had to crucify him then and there to get even the slightest rise - so I went to bed scared that my friend was dead.
He had left by the time I got up five hours later.
My next story: Good mor... night?
A few mundane additions
Firstly, the bake sale suggested facetiously by a fellow H3er as a way of funding our moroccan habit is entirely feasible. Selling homemade cookies on Avenue du President Kennedy for the cause of better student life? I don't know if it's necessarily a good idea, but definitely within the limits of imagination.
Secondly, we should come up with a set date for the currently hypothetical potluck. Saturday night? Yes, no? I suggest not holding said potluck on a night when we are fed by James, Kelly and the other kind people that furnish our rez food, because that would be a) a waste of money and b) silly.
Thirdly, is anyone staying for American Thanksgiving? Or is it just going to be me and the other people too cheap to find plane tickets? If so, pumpkin pie? Actually, is anyone staying for Canadian Thanksgiving? What do Canadians do on Thanksgiving, anyway?
Fourthly, there is a screening of Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt tonight from 7 to 9. I don't know where, possibly Shatner, but if you are interested, ask Taylor or Reid. Everyone should go, if only to avoid aforementioned reading.
That will be all. You may go about your business.
