Match
Being downtown and being an Apple “fanboi” I decided to attend the grand opening of the first Canadian Apple Flagship Store. Well, it involved just standing in line and chatting with people for an hour, so survival didn’t prove that hard.
The store looks clean, empty-ish and boring, just like the other Apple stores i visited. There was an abundance of staff present who cheered and hi-fived us when we entered the store. Kind of cheesy and very loud.
It’s nice I don’t have to go to Laval anymore if I want something. But I have all the Apple gear I want (read: can afford) so I won’t be visiting that often. But I scored a nice T-shirt and that was well worth the wait. I actually like it and I’m not going to sell it on eBay.

Noodles
Some cats bring their owners presents. Dead birds, mice and other small animals are favourites.
Poupoune is not a cat, but nevertheless she brought me a present. She had found it in our pantry and left it in front of the door of our bedroom in which I was still sleeping.
Now I was wondering if she was commenting on my eating habits? And if so, was it a reproach (“You shouldn’t eat this crap”) or a recommendation (“Look boss, you should be having this for lunch.”)
I chose the latter and had it for lunch! And so should you when your pet brings you a present.
