feels like hiatus

in that i can't really be bothered to look for the fun anecdote in whatever happens. although things keep happening, i guess. for example, there are like 5 festivals going on in this city these days, at any given time. have i tried to take pics? sure. but it's just...streets full of people and tents and overpriced street food and concert-y crowds and it's fun to walk around, but where is my guiding thread?
no guiding thread. i finished school, so there's that.
i've had 2 wisdom teeth pulled out last week (i mean, does that deserve a post? it was funny for a bit there, what with HAVING to eat icecream and etc.)
so: school, check. dentist, check (i guess), doing my taxes, finally check. almost like a responsible human being.
blog post, check: montreal in summer, being as colorful as ever.

this frida pillow is the most static thing i managed to photograph on one night of the st laurent street fair

there was the mural festival going on at the same time (mmm 3 weeks ago? almost), but we only saw disparate works-in-progress. this i saw accidentally, while walking back home from spanish class, in pretty heavy rain

also on st laurent, in the rain: a very cool bazaar/art fair - i hope it's permanent, not only on festival days. 

huge new mural on mt royal west

very neighbourly, villeray-y, back alley-y sunday morning. i had gotten out to check out the garage sales

my poshest neighbourhood cafe: vito, on villeray st

at jean talon market: my flower provider

and just across from michel, a very lovely quirky new cafe: they are called "stellina" and have fancy sandwiches and the craziest collection of colourful mugs ever. this is the first time i saw the place, but i went back there with lora, and it's really cool

back of the market: irish music, featuring harp and stuff

aaand i was listening to above-mentioned mini-concert sitting in a rocking chair (rocking bench??) on the side of the road. wearing my new summer dress, of which it's very hard to take a picture that would do justice to its full-on splendor. it froths around my calves and swishes in the air, everything i want in a summer dress. i dunno, i have to plan for a photoshoot soon, or smth

on st-denis. this is maximum of wisdom my mind can encompass lately. also literally because i can't begin to manage the basics of yoga until i've gotten used to breathing as i should. but mostly metaphorically. 

latest schtick: banana peel benches at mont-royal metro stop

i have 2 cats now cause sarah left luna with me for a bit. 2 black cats together can be very funny cause they're so photo-worthy

i mean, seriously. look at them cuties.
