I was hoping for a small reprieve in December, but I should have known better. Through 2006, things had been progressively getting busier and busier until I felt I was about to burst.
It is now 2007 and I can look back happily at the previous year. Whew. So what was last month like?

First I had to see
rubythirtythree at the
Salon des métiers d'art. I did a bit of shopping there, which turned out to be a good idea.

Then a vernissage at
Headquarters Galerie et Boutique. I met Angie and Tyson, who run the store, and they are awfully nice. They run an exhibition every month or so which I'm going try to see.

Followed by seeing a drag show with
ispyagirl and Mike, an old classmate from
Earl Haig. We went to
Cabaret Mado, which had lots of people that looked like they were having fun! It was just too outrageous for anything less.

I took some photos at
jbailey's new place. The entire house was bare, so I got to roam around and take pictures of uncluttered rooms.

Lunch with
baprime at Café Santropol. It was the first time she'd ever been there, which is quite a treat. We ate sandwiches and drank milkshakes-they were delicious.

More shopping at the Souk@SAT. This time, I went with
angorian and Damian. I showed them fun things and delicious things and they managed to get a ton of their gift shopping done.
Lesbian haircuts Originally uploaded by

Then we made the wonderful discovery of cheap Lesbian haircuts on Amherst. I am tempted to go there and check out their bikes.

I had a lazy Sunday brunch with
le_maistre_e. We ate at John's, which is a little diner that serves a great meal at 1980s prices. I'm definitely going back! I also discovered that the Lachine canal is a gem, if you look hard enough.

Ironically placed next to the Goodbye
NITI Montreal dinner.
Samba Elegua Originally uploaded by

I needed some exercise after all this eating, so I saw
jedward play with
Samba Elegua. He stayed with me, while his band did their gig for
Noël dans le parc.
Gladstone & Ste-Catherine Originally uploaded by
sfllaw.
Then it was more dinner at
superfink's, with a nightcap of
The muppet Christmas carol.

Followed by another dinner at
tygrbabe's.
Dinner on the train Originally uploaded by
sfllaw.
After that, I got on the train to Toronto, where I spent a lot of time not behind the camera. Although digital cameras are now prevalent, I seemed to avoid getting myself not in front of them.
