It is done.

HOLY MOFO I FINALLY FINISHED CLEANING MY ROOM. Everything is either in my upstairs, in boxes to be sorted when I come back in August or in bags to be dropped off at the Salvation Army. And it only took... what 4 years? Holy shit. Whatever will I do with my spare time? Oh yeah, a TON of laundry before I leave...

But not tomorrow. Tomorrow, my bff PM and I will be spending the day together. Our plan is to stalk Bradley Cooper. He's in town shooting a film and PM's mom saw him (she thinks) in the film crew that set up outside her work, so we're starting there. Holy effing 8 pound baby Jesus is this boy ever HOT. Like, really hot. Like, he speaks perfect fucking French, hot. Yeah. That hot.

Star of The Hangover, Limitless and The Hangover 2, he's been the subject of my most creative fantasies since 2009. His character in The Hangover, Phil, is also who I think I'd be if the situation ever presented itself. Phil is calm, Phil is cool, Phil is sexy, Phil is the voice of reason (or something like it). He's a school teacher who knows how to separate his career from his "down time" (by ignoring kids after school ends or making sure every one understands that a drunken night of debauchery mus remain secret). He's the guy every one wants to be. He's the one who keeps his head in the game and tries to solve the problem before admitting defeat. Yeah. I'm totally Phil and not at all full of myself (haha).

30 Day Movie Challenge, part 2

Day 2 - Favorite Death Scene

A death scene is someone dying, right? So here it is. By far the funniest accidental on screen death!

30 Day Movie Challenge, part 2

I LOVED the first 30 day movie challenge and, lo! there's a second one out now! I'll try to do it every day, but I'll be in Europe so I might not be able to.

Day 1 - A movie by your favorite director

Baz Lurhmann is one of my favourite directors. I loved Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, and Strictly Ballroom. The clip I chose is the trailer for Romeo + Juliet. Such a fantastic adaptation.

Random Thoughts This Morning.

I'm leaving in 10 days and I've yet to buy my plane tickets.

I'm scared of traveling alone for a long time after camp, so I'm opting for a Monday flight home: I can either finish camp on the Friday immediately before or the previous one and use the week to travel if I'm not too chicken.

I think with another good 6 hours, my room will be clean and everything will be packed away, ready to be relocated or unpacked.

Some people who have known me many, many, many years have yet to figure out that my name isn't Michelle.


I saw Bridesmaids yesterday. It was good! Not quite as good as it was made out to be, in my opinion, but good none the less.

I think I'll be able to pack everything into my carry on sized suitcase.

I miss Jody. Her visit here was GREAT and we reconnected and rebonded and she bonded with of my best friends and I'm happy they got along.

I miss Ana, even though I text her all the time and she only lives in Laval which isn't really that far... But we're both busy a lot. And I miss her. And I'm proud of her!

I miss my grandmother. People kept coming up to me at the viewings and asking how I was because they knew we were close. I didn't think we were that close until I barely made it through the eulogy. And now I miss her more than before.

I miss Cara. There's no excuse for my laziness in doing things with her.

Jimmy Kimmel has A LOT of great clips on YouTube

I'm craving St-Hubert ribs and poutine.

I've realized in the last 10 days or so that one of my newest friends is also one of the best friends I've ever had.

I think I'll go make myself bacon and eggs....

Finding Stuff

Designer jeans (too small), an evening gown (gorgeous and it fits), 3 different kinds of jackets (to be offered to a friend), ice skates (still fit), shoe boxes (empty), pictures (from a grade 8 music field trip)... All from my closet.

Changes

You know what? That 30 day YouTube challenge is LAME. Some of the "days" didn't even make sense. So, screw it.

My Nonna passed away on Thursday. She had been battling ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) for a long time, although it was only diagnosed in 2009. She was a strong stubborn woman and, whether you believe in an afterlife or not, she is no longer suffering and finally at peace. Her funeral is next Saturday (June 4th). We're hoping to get donations for the Lou Gehrig Foundation in her name (Rosaria Passarelli).

My friend Jody is coming to Montreal on Tuesday, for my graduation on Wednesday. I'm so looking forward to seeing her: I haven't seen her in over a year! I've missed her so much. Sometimes, keeping in touch online just isn't enough.

Apparently, she's never really been to Montreal. Boy do I have plans for her! I want to show her downtown and Old Montreal and have her eat a poutine and point out Habitat 67. I also want to take her to Porto Mar, the restaurant where I had my 25th birthday party. She was supposed to come, but couldn't make it due to a scheduling misunderstanding. I hope she likes Portuguese food.

I'm also taking her to Zyng and La Distillerie with some of my (former) classmates on Tuesday to celebrate the official end of our degree. I sincerely hope it stops raining by then.

I'm excited for this week, despite my Nonna's death. It'll be good to see Jody, to celebrate my degree and to play tourist in my own city.
