The Creature Awakes

*yawn*

So, it's been two months since I've posted anything here. Yikes, my bad.

What's been happening that's been occupying my time so much that I can't update you ask? Absolutely nothing I reply! Miss D moved down to Albany and has been living out of boxes but thankfully we move to the new apartment this weekend! Yay!! :) The new apartment is in a little better of an area than where we are now and hopefully the neighbors aren't as annoying as our current ones.

We also just got back from Montreal on Sunday. We had gone up to the Divers/Cite festival that we went to last year as well. I don't know, I wasn't as impressed with it this year. Last year the rock part, called Sex Garage was free and this year it was $15. Also, in the main park it was mostly DJ's and not musical acts like they've had in the past. Though there was one great act Friday night. She goes by the single name of "Emily" and she is kinda like a Quebecois Britney Spears. *shudder* With all the cheesy dancing and lip syncing it was so bad it was almost good!! Here's her website if you want to check out this fine singer in action (sorry, it's in French):

Saturday night we also went to the drag show they have every year called Mascara. It's tons of people, crammed into an alleyway, needless to say unless you are right up front you can't see a whole lot. So, after an hour and a half of standing on my toes to try and see over people, preceded by an hour of waiting for the show to begin, I had had just about enough. I leaned over to Miss D and said "Do you want to stay" and then she asked me the same, saying that she didn't care...and I believe my reply was something like "We have to go, or I'm going to hurt someone". What is is about general admission type things like this that makes people lose their fucking minds?!? All night, people kept trying to squeeze past me to get closer to the stage. Look buddy, if there were room up there don't you think that I would be up there already?! Also, I think every single person in Montreal smokes, so that was nice...packed in there like sardines with smoke being blown in my face from all directions. Nice.

So, in conclusion. I'm not sure if I'll be going to Divers/Cite next year. I love Montreal, it's a beautiful city with lots to explore, I just don't know if I want to do Divers/Cite again. We'll have to do a bit of research before we come up next year.

One really nice part about this past weekend though was where we stayed. I had scoped out this really nice B&B . It had really good reviews and I found the perfect room. It kinda had a Middle Eastern feel to it and....wait for it.....an in room hot tub! SWEET!!! They provided fresh baked cookies right outside our room and gourmet breakfasts every morning...none of that continental breakfast crap! I didn't want to leave!! It was a very nice place, a bit expensive though but hey, how often do you do things like that, right?

Well, that's it for now. I'll try and not let it be so far in between posts again!!

Update!!

Guess it's time to update this thing.

Dana and I got back from Montrael last Thursday and stayed at Dana's for the weekend then came back to NYC on Sunday. I came back to work on Monday and haven't really done a whole lot since being back, which is just the way it should be!! hehehe

The surgery in Montreal went really well. Dr. Brassard said that there were no complications at all which was a relief. It is cold as hell up in Montreal in January so wait until warmer months to go up there. It's a nice place to be, pretty and all, but not very enjoyable in sub-zero temperatures.

Miss D still sore from surgery, but getting better (I hope!) day by day. Now dealing with all the upkeep required after the surgery. But at least she doesn't have the horror of having to get her "special friend" every 28 days for the rest of her life! ;)

We also celebrated our first anniversary in Montreal as well, on January 28th!! YAY!! It doesn't seem like it's been a year, it's like we just met each other yesterday!!

Oh, hey, we're in GO Magazine too (a free NYC lez magazine). They apparently found us "captivating" enough to put in their February issue. Here is a link to the story and pic of us.

While up in Montreal I paid a visit to the Biodome de Montreal which was pretty cool. Lots of cool aminals and, ofcourse, MONKEYS!!! :) Didn't really do anything other than that do on account of it being so damn cold the entire time that I was up there. So I divided my time between my seedy little hotel room and Dana's room at the hospital or at the residence.

Toodles for now.
