Mini-putt à La Prairie

Trois copains rencontrés sur Twitter et moi sommes allés jouer au mini-putt dans la glorieuse ville de La Prairie (lire : au bout du boulevard Taschereau). Et quoi de mieux pour nous véhiculer que ma merveilleuse cube, gagnée grâce aux médias sociaux! SOCIAL MEDIA CHANGED MY LIFE.

 

Je tiens à dire... que j'ai remporté la partie. J'attribue mon succès à mes ongles en léopard, très bien assortis à ma balle.

 

 

Voici l'un des trous qui m'a causé le plus de tracas!

 

souper des 2Capricieux

Ce weekend, le cube m'a amenée à Montréal, où j'ai pu participer à mon premier souper des 2Capricieux. Ce couple de foodies montréalais, dont le blogue est vraiment intéressant et bien garni, organisent des soirées thématiques dans leur demeure (la dernière se déroulait sous le drapeau du Japon). Environ 40 personnes s'y rendent par soir, et tout le monde est invité à participer, que ce soit pour le service ou la préparation des plats. Ce fut une excellente occasion de rencontrer plein de gens (notamment des gens avec qui je n'avais discuté que sur Twitter) - et on a vraiment très bien mangé!

question for all cubies!

i know i haven't blogged in a bit... the holidays, work (the Economic Action Plan is driving me insane) and stuff... i know it isn't a valid excuse, but still! my cube is still going strong, just hit 11 000 km... and i love it to bits!

i just wanted to know if your dealership considered your cube as a car or as a suv/truck/van when it came to maintenance charges? i had to somewhat argue with them (some people there considered it as a suv, some didn't)... and i'm none too pleased.

 

there's more interesting stuff to follow, i swear! just not yet :P

 

take care cubies.

rockcliffe book fair

Last weekend I went to Rockcliffe book fair (in my trusty little cube, of course!).
It's an awesome annual event, held by a school, where you can find a sh*tload of used books for ridiculous prices.

This is what I scored for 20 bucks (and a sneezing fit because of the dust):

You Shall Know Our Velocity! - Dave Eggers
A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian - Marina Lewycka
The Yiddish Policemen's Union - Michael Chabon
Tender is the Night - F. Scott Fitzgerald (1962 edition, with a bonus Xmas card from the owner)
The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (for ONE dollar!!!!)
As I Lay Dying - William Faulkner
A Brief History of 1917 - Russia's Year of Revolution
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates - Tom Robbins
Skinny Legs and All - Tom Robbins


So many books (some of them very old) made my allergies act up so I had to get out before someone killed me (my sneeze? the most annoying one ever). But I scored amazingly, no?
So, don't try to reach me for a while, you know what I'll be doing - READING!
