Sushi in a bowl. Where have you been all my life?
theatre: the other 355.242199 days of the year.
Do you miss the fringe already? Wondering how to find out about theatre in Montréal during the rest of the year? The best listing I know of is the QDF Theatre Calendar. It’s available on their website (as PDF, sadly), they’ll mail you a copy if you become a “friend”, or you can find copies…
An American (restaurant) in Tokyo
I’ve been in Tokyo since last Sunday. 2 nights ago I passed by an Anna Miller’s – I was hungry so I figured this was a good cultural experience: an American restaurant, as imagined by the Japanese. Maybe this is how Chinese people feel about the cheap “Chinese” restaurants that populate any North American city….

bike tours
Who else is doing the Tour la Nuit or Tour de l’ÃŽle this year? Also: most of the graphic design for the tour advertising bothers me on a visceral level. No idea why.

I’m on teevee
Awake. Where am I? Feels like my bed. OK. (blink) It’s light out. Maybe it’s morning. Yes, time to get up. (reach for the light switch) Wait, why are my fingernails black?
This has pretty much been my reality for the past while. As usual, I meant to do a pile of bike maintenance over the winter but never got a round tuit. But now I’m enjoying getting all my bikes clean and into shape. So far 2 of my bikes plus Robin’s bike are in reasonable…
Ich bin ein Berliner
First things first: dcoombs asked for my thoughts on LX (Swiss Air), which I flew for the first time on the way here. I slept through the night flight over to ZRH, so I can’t really say what that was like, except the seat was quite good (the only time I’ve seen proper lumbar support…
Postcards!

Catching up
I’ve been bad at returning emails (and other similar messages) for years. I’m trying an experiment to do something about it. From now on, I’m spending 30 minutes per day catching up on email, answering blog comments, and replying to entries. If I run out of all of those, I’ll start new email conversations with…

who needs pants?
who needs pants? I saw this tag on some underwear and immediately thought of pphaneuf. Of course, I also bought the underwear.
I am Jack’s travel agent
I just booked my flights to Houston. Following Sun policy, I phoned Amex Travel instead of booking with an online travel agent. After 10 minutes on hold, I booked $868.59 worth of flights. This would have cost $666.44 via orbitz.com. So yeah, big companies suck. Mon Jan 28, 6:00: UA 7635, YUL-ORD, arr 7:36 8:15:…
