What I Did Do Before My Summer Migrated...

I have been looking back at the last few months and all of the things I have done in the heat and noise of Montréal and it has not been as depressing as I thought it would be (nostalgia is not always a good friend).
To wit:
*Met Gilles Peterson and danced in a club with a girl whose boyfriend threw daggers my way (hey, next time, try dancing when you are in a club with a well-known DJ playing a Cuban-music-themed night)
*Chased out of Osheaga (I tried to sneak in while Arcade Fire were finishing up their set - not smart)
*Bought Arcade Fire's The Suburbs (not bad at all; should have kept running past those security guards)
*Met a friend of a friend and I think that I like her (she is on another continent now and I will have to wait before I can really reach her; story of my sad life right there)
*Started teaching extra classes at a college (this matters: I will finally have some extra green around to buy a new laptop and not have to come to the library to type)
*Looked back at the last eight years and realized that I was not that happy (another moment that matters; epiphanies are rare in my life, so I grab them when I can)
*Decided to continue with both blogs (twinned mindsets in them - have to get both brain centres working)
And all this before Labour Day...  Amazing what comes out.
