"It feels so queer when you are near, dear."

Man, it has been raining like tears from a kitten's eyes, a kitten that's really sad and cries all week from a cloud above Montreal. So far, this summer, only twice have I longed for an air conditioner at our place. That's good isn't it? Reminds me of a Tiny Tim song (any of his songs instantly put me at 4 years old, sitting directly in front of the speaker, staring staring staring at the album cover while it played.)



Anyway, it reminds me of him singing: "The ice caps are melting, ho, ho, ho-ho. All the world is drowning ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho."

Elsewhere, in the life of me, I finally got something out of one of Montreal's excessive(and I do mean excessive) number of festivals. Bob and David, yes THE Bob Odenkirk and David Cross of Mister Show fame hosted an evening of sketch comedy during the Just for Laughs festival. I wish I could have taped it somehow, it was extremely funny. There were 4 or 5 acts and every single one of them was incredibly funny. I even had some eyes tearing, doubled over in pain, oh my god make it stop moments which are, I dare say, hard to come by. I won't bother trying to describe the acts but let me just say a new catchphrase I will be incessantly uttering is : "You can't smell that?!!! Smells like pepper!". Perhaps, next time I see you in person, I will explain further.

Or not.
