Tonight was movie night! Last September, a tiny movie theater opened here, in Montréal. Cinéma Moderne is dedicated to presenting original version of movies from around the world. I had been waiting to go see Border, a Swedish fantasy film. I was curious, and though the very mysterious trailer didn’t give out much about the movie’s plot,…… Continue reading Border…
My Reader has been flooded with reminders that today is Valentine’s Day, as I expected it. A lot of “Yay! It’s Valentine’s Day!!” and a lot of “V-Day sucks!!”… Personally, I am in between. I don’t mind a kind attention, but I don’t expect anything special on this day. Besides, I am working until…… Continue reading Random Danish memories…
The weather people had been warning us for about a week. This one was going to be a big one. Possibly this winter’s biggest. Snow storm, that is. I don’t believe weather people. I am sure they are nice ladies and gentlemen, but they seem to be making their previsions using a good ol’ Magic 8-Ball.…… Continue reading The big one…
I don’t drink coffee. I love the smell of it, but it just won’t make it past my lips. I never could drink it, and I doubt that will ever change. I learnt to make coffee as a child. There was always a pot brewing in the house, because both my parents drank it…… Continue reading Coffee is dangerous…

There was a world map involved, so I invited myself in, and discovered that you could…… Continue reading Been, uh?
Amanda, from Something to Ponder About gave me food for thoughts with her latest post Sunday Sayings – Needs. It is funny, because my response to her post probably isn’t exactly what she expected from readers, but what can I say? So here it is… I think that there are some words that we use…… Continue reading Just thinking…
Beware always, the hand that softly holds your heart! Today might be gentle, but could very well, tomorrow tear it apart!
We Freezinglanders like to discuss the weather. I don’t think it really qualifies as ranting. It is just in our blood. And since Mother Nature refuses to take her pills, we have plenty to talk about! From time to time, Non-Freezinglanders join the chat. Like yesterday, when my dear Trina mentionned that she couldn’t believe how people…… Continue reading Welcome to Freezingland!
The monsters are out again, today. I know that for some of you, it is a usual winter sight, but I thought that readers from warm-weathered countries might enjoy getting a taste of what it is like to be a Montrealer. So here’s a short video of one of the many huge graders riding…… Continue reading Meanwhile in Canada…
