Wild and Weird Canada

Language
They speak Frenglish. It’s amazing how easily they can switch from French to English and then back again. It makes me wish I knew a second language. I did learn to cuss in Quebec though. Ostie!

$%^@*!!!

French version of an Auto Zone.

You’re such a couch tard.

STOP

Culture
Evidently they don’t take kindly to drinking…

Click for giant.

But Starbucks’ come in castles!

Evidently a hot commodity here.

And this is just hilariously offensive. Oh Canada.

Business
The office of Bob Loblaw is in Montreal!

Shopping
FucklaMode. What!? It’s not as bad as it sounds. The F-bomb to the frenchies in Quebec means “To heck with” and “la mode” means fashion. We found this store that carries these shirts in Old Town Quebec City. It’s the only place in the world to buy them, unless you want to go online of course. I’ll be wearing mine soon enough around SF. Can’t wait to see the looks I get.

Food
A Montreal delicacy or late night drunk food: Poutine. What is it you ask? Fries, gravy and cheese curds. It’s as healthy as it sounds. Once is enough for me thanks.

And you can’t go anywhere french without eating a crepe!

Visually excited.

Fashion
Hey maybe people in D.C. should wear this!

I especially like the leopard fur cuffs.

Montreal and Quebec City, eh!

Chateau Frontenac

Randy and I are headed to Montreal and Quebec City this week for our 2nd anniversary! We’ve never been so anyone who has recommendations for us, we’re listening! Our French is a little (a lot) rusty, but we plan to use a lot of pointing and gesturing.

Last year we were in Vancouver, “the Couve” for our first anniversary. I think we have some sort of Canadian fetish.

Thank you Canada

A: One Year Anniversary in the ‘couve.

So in keeping with the matrimonial theme today, I thought I’d share a few pics from our first year anniversary trip to Vancouver we took a few weeks ago. We’d never been before and always wanted to visit so we took a long weekend and flew up there to celebrate 365 days of marriage. Of course Jack came too. He came with us on our honeymoon, why wouldn’t he celebrate 1 year with us too? Vancouver is an amazing city. Not as Canadian as I had hoped, only a few “eh’s” were heard and an “aboot,” but still cool. We walked all over the city since it’s not very big and had our official anniversary dinner at Rodney’s in Yaletown one night. This place is significant b/c 1. It is the best seafood place in Vancouver and 2. RPattz ate there! No, not when we were there, but when they were filming New Moon. If only we’d gone just a couple months earlier! Blasted anniversary date! I’m sure that’s exactly what my husband would’ve wanted to do for our anniversary, stalk Twilight characters. Yeah yeah. Here are some pics:

PS: I had always wondered why paper was chosen as the first anniversary gift, now i know. You’re poor as crap after the wedding and are still paying it off a year later. The only thing you can afford is paper. So my gift to the hubby was a vintage Vancouver postcard – I bought at this awesome paper shop called The Regional Assembly of Text – with a sweet message on the back. I’m sure there are more creative paper gifts to give, but I thought a postcard was appropriate given the circumstances. His gift to me, the trip

I definitely have more to post about Vancouver, but i’ll save that for another post. To be continued!

K: Jack’s face in that picture literally screams “WTF are you doing. Put me down.” He has a very Stewey-like look from “Family Guy.” And sigh, RPattz. I still lament not seeing him in NYC. But I figured there were too many set stalking crazies around him as it was, and I didn’t want to add to the mosh pit. I’m a married girl after all, I have to keep my priorities in line. But if, say for instance, he were to ever approach me and confess his undying love to me, I’d make like a spidermonkey, latch onto his back and fly to the nearest Chapel of Love. Well, me and probably every other 12 year old on the planet.
