Oh yeah, that's a threadless shirt, cause I've got it. :D

Usually wear it on my : Hate you all! Days. ;)

Wow.. I think a few people need to get lai*, here...
Gosh.

I think my cats would love this, and my dog would have liked it too. She didn't chew on stuff either, aside her chewtoys.

Thanks for the tips, everyone...

I think I'll try that, mid century geek... or maybe I'll just leave it ''as is''..

Hey, I think I've got an original, here! I've got the white one, and it's been around here for over 20 years... thing is, it yellowed... Anyone know what I could do to fix that?

Welcome to Montreal, it is indeed a beautiful city! :)

If ever you need ''touristy'' info, help painting, or to diss the not always fun winter weather, I'm around ;)

What a pretty name you chose, Miss_Shwee ;)

I'm assuming you know it means Noble woman, or Fair-skinned woman... but did you know both mean the same? Since it originated in the Middle Age, fair-skinned people were people who could afford not to work in the fields, which meant they were of higher status. Oh well. Here, in Quebec, it's quite common, though. Quite common as in having 3 fellow Genevieves in my classes when growing up...

Gravity's rainbow, I actually commented on that same fact on the Chicago AT... prices are really different (As in a 250% markup or 75% markdown). Overall, though, much cheaper in the US (dang.)


IKEA Catalog 2008
8/3/07 11:06 AM

Even worse, I was comparing the US catalog, and CDN catalog, and there's a media unit that sells for 215$ CDN, but for 550$ US, that's more than twice the price (2.5, actually)...
Could it be only because of production/transport?


Brand New!: IKEA 2008 Catalog
8/3/07 8:11 AM

Hard copies got delivered to customers this week, here in Montreal

The thing that bugs me is the price difference between american and canadian markets... If someone could explain it, it'd be great :P

For example : That yellow bed, 299$ US? In CDN, it should come to 315$... but it sells for 449$!!
That white couch, that sells for 499$? In CDN it comes to 525$ but sells for 449$

There's even a full kitchen that sells for 4K in the US, but for 6K in Canada!

What gives?

Good Questions: Where Can I Find Lighted Branches?
7/20/07 9:35 AM

I've got the same furniture in the corner of a hallway. That way, it doesn't block the doors the way a flat against the wall table or desk would do, and nothing ever falls behind it because of the cats (since it's a 'corner' TV stand). There's no TV on it though. Just a couple of books, picture frames and artwork leaning against the wall. Never though of using those baskets... Great idea! It diminishes clutter a whole lot!

Now if only all my clutter could fit in 4 boxes...

I've seen those keycard slots in Cuba as well. The issue can still be, because we were issued two cards so had we wanted to, we could have kept one key in the keycard holder, and one key with us.
As far as the bedside switch goes, I've got a remote control / dimmer for my bedroom light. My toes are happy I made that choice. I don't see that as a *Green* thing, though. Who's gonna sleep with the lights on? It's merely convenient.
