Friends

That's where I live, and this morning my power went out as I was getting ready to leave for the day, and then when I walked out my apartment, there were about 15 fire/police vehicles, and they were putting up yellow and red tape across sections of the street. It's totally closed between Victoria and about Circle.

Something big seemed to be happening. Anyone know what? They wouldn't even let me walk to Snowdon metro!

Here's an interesting search query challenge for relevancy ranking: xkcd metallica. Currently google doesn't, but yahoo does, give the right answer.

Let this be a lesson to you. If you want your web site to show up in search queries, and have words encoded in audio, video, or images, include a transcript!

I love the kanji for my name, (I do realize that this kanji is purely for my benefit and I will forever be アンドリュ to the Nihonjin but hey...)

安堵龍

あんど＝Relax
りゅ＝Dragon
I'm curious to see what everybody else's name looks like and what it means. To quote a coffee cup I bought here in Japan, "Let's make and share the good times together!"

Korean seafood pancake first attempt

Its good that I used sashimi grade squid for this because it was kind of runny in the middle.
Pretty tasty though.
These pancakes fall into the category of fried foods that I don't think i'll like but I actually do.

I was wondering where is the cheapest place to buy good yarn? and crochet needles?

Some art stores are really expensive.  You kinda get ripped off from those tiny art stores.  I really don't know my way around montreal well so anything near a metro would be great.  I live near cote vertu metro station but im willing to travel downtown and what not.


is wal mart good ? 


I want to crochet a scarf.. =)

If anyone could tell me where to find the following items, I would be very very grateful. Around Mile End would be preferable because that's where I work, but anywhere metro accessible would do.

I need 'nut & party' cups. Wilton sells ones like these, I need them to make cute cupcakes like these.

I also need cake decorating bags - you know, those triangular shaped bags to pipe frosting, like this. They can be disposable.

Lastly, I've been looking everywhere but I can't find a plain ol' dish-drying rack/drainer. I'd prefer one that's kind of on an angle and that has like a tray at the bottom with a channel so that the water pours back into the sink... does that make sense? I don't know how to describe it, haha, but whatever, I just need something that will hold my dishes while they dry without getting water all over my counter.

Thank you!

Hi montrealers!

I was wondering if any of you know a place where I can find truffles and truffle oil. I didn't see anything at marche Jean Talon (unless I missed a spot) and I'm not sure if Atwater would have any.

Thanks!

The Fiction Circus is a fiction reading and performance art troupe based out of Bed-Stuy, and the pleasure would be all ours if you were to join us for our free show on Friday night.  Grand Street is right off the L, and the Stain Bar is a good place to enjoy your first round or two of drinks before you head out for wilder times.

Get a good base of lies before you begin your weekend debauchery.  We hope to see you there.

 Guy 1: I like your shirt, man.
Guy 2: Thanks...
Guy 1: You always wear energetic shirts, man. I like it.

Definition of energetic: possessing or exerting or displaying energy. I think someone needs to make friends with the dictionary again.

Same guys.
Guy 1: You like it here, in montreal?
Guy 2: Yeah, it's nice.
Guy 1: If you need anything, man. Anything at all.
Guy 3: Prescriptions.... prescription medications.... 

 

Can anyone recommend a good pet store for betta fish?

I bought two from Nature Pet in Place Alexis Nihon, but they haven't been faring well, showing signs of a fungal infection. The pet store didn't carry any effective medications, and sadly one of them died this week.

I scalded Mark jr.'s tank, rocks, and ornament and it's ready for a new fish, but since both fish I bought from that store showed signs of the same infection, and since I was extremely careful not to cross-contaminate their tanks myself, I think something's fishy at the pet store. (Forgive the pun.)

So, yeah, I'm looking for a store with knowledgeable employees and healthy fish that have been well cared for. If anyone has any personal experience of where to go and where to avoid, I'd very much appreciate it!

Could someone please tell me the meaning of this verb? I'm having trouble because it's handwritten kanji which I suck at >_>''


Thanks!

Does anyone know where I could adopt a pet for free? Or if there is even such a thing? I read up on how not to buy a dog from a pet store so I was wondering if I could adopt a pet for free that needed a home? Does anyone know of any good shelters in brooklyn? Or if any place where I can adopt for free? Specifically looking for puppies.

Just a quick question:

How would one say "can't stop [doing something]", as in "can't stop listening to a song [because it's addictive]", etc?

Thanks for any help!

Hey comedy people!

Just wanted to let you know that John Oliver (The Daily Show), Dave Hill, and Rob Lathan will be appearing at a benefit concert in Brooklyn this Friday, May 16th (aka... tomorrow night). All proceeds go to AIDS Walk NY. I'm a huge fan, and am part of the group organizing the show. There are just a few tickets left so I want to make sure that all the fans know about it before it sells out. Please come out & tell your friends.

The Mountain Goats and Rock Plaza Central will play as well! Don't miss it!

Here's the Ticket Web site where you can buy tickets:

Let me know if you have any questions at all.

Thanks so much!
