montreal!

this is somewhat behind the times, but me and two buddies of mine (Craig and Rocco) elected to undergo a two day adventure in that urban, french-canadian oaisis known as montreal. rocco, king of travel research, found an insane rate on a downtown hotel avec a hottub and pool.

we started off the adventure by making signs out of our mapquest directions which said, "YOU LOSE" & "call us @ 1-800-HOT-BUTT ;-)". these were flashed at many, many motorists, all of whom we understood to love hot butts if they paid any attention to us in the slightest.

we burst through the country barrier blasting avril lavigne's "girlfriend", a theme throughout the trip (sample lyric: " HEY HEY YOU YOU, I DON'T LIKE YOU GIRLFRIEND/ NO WAY NO WAY, THINK YOU NEED A NEW ONE") and made it to our hotel where we promptly watched some quebecian t.v. (canada is the best country, ever). we then talked to the concierge, got directions to old montreal, walked there and ate at 'chez eric's' and wandered through montreal's chinatown .

that night, post an early evening lark in the pool/hottub, we made our way to a bar call "brutopia" where an awful parody of tenecious d was playing. we quickly decided the only option we had was to go to the casino de montreal. our cab ride there was short and painless and we stepped foot in the door where i was immediately blinded by all the glittering, glittering lights.

not sharing rocco's affection for such places craig and i decided we each had 10 loonies (loony=dollar) to sink before we had to leave. and then, the highlight of the trip: I BEAT THE HOUSE BY 50 CENTS, TAKE THAT CANADA! we returned triumphantly to the hotel.

the next day we went to the biodome, saw some monkeys and were lectured on the arts of seduction in the animal kingdom. we returned home to the soundtrack of the lil jon, fat joe hit "i make it rain." it was a good trip.

in other news, i depart for cleveland on the 13th. i'm having a going away thang that sunday, so, if anyone can come, i fully encourage it.

also, fiones and i went to see matt this past sunday and we went swimming and ate ice cream. it was glorious. KEEP THE UPDATES COMING

the next day we went out for break
