At about 4:30 this aft, I stepped out of my steady's, where I now am, with the intention to use the internet for scholastic purposes while no one is around. I was standing at the corner of Saint Laurent and Mount Royal, looking like a confused prostitute (my look was just SO all over the place, but it happens when it rains and you take what you need for shelter; skirts for biking made from Dollarama bags, etc, etc.) and it was funny because I was actually looking for a mailbox, trying to see in the distance which way I should walk because I can't walk four ways at once, can you?? It was/is raining and then a mid-late 20s male voice yelled "What are you looking for?!!!" and I thought it was a random dude in that split second before I saw that it wasn't a random dude; it was this guy who deals the pot to everyone and their grandma.
Anyway, he walked me to a mailbox and in retrospect, to a blind person, it might have been comparable to that scene in Great Expectations (the critical bomb version that I really love), when Ethan Hawke is yelling in the rain, "Everything I do! I do for YOU!" at Gwyneth's Paltrow's unfeeling supersexy biatch, and he might as well have been yelling, "What do you WANT?!" which is basically the same as "What are you looking for?!" and then they kissed in the rain, GOD I LOVE THAT SHIT.
And then I went to Pharmaprix to get Devin's neighbour Karen a Dr. Pepper because she is feeling ill and needs her Dr. Pepper and cannot go out and get it because she is feeling ill, GAWD!
Karen is kind of like Carmen Electra when Carmen Electra used to drink 8 Cokes a day before Dave Navarro showed her the new way...
Except that it's Dr. Pepper and it's more like 10 cans (maybe) and plus, Karen is DE NEW YORK, like Vitamin Water, except that she's really cool and not full of as much bullish as Vitamin Water (s0rry Danielle, it's true.) And I really can't imagine her tongue tango-ing with Dennis Rodman...except that I can in my imagination, and it's actually pretty funny.
Anyway, the big news is that at Pharmaprix, I conned myself into buying these Organic Energy Fruit Chews because they were 99 cents and normally probably like 10 dollars and they were actually pretty good, but the BIG NEWS is that in front of me at Pharmaprix was....KIM RUSK!!!
If you know who Kim Rusk is, please comment below and say so, and if it means registering to comment with an e-mail address and making a password and reading some wiggly letters, so be it. Do it, because seriously, you know who Kim Rusk is??
The cashier VA-LAY-RIE was like (in French) "Oh hey, you're the best, I love you, you're so pretty, you're so pretty in person, can you sign the back of your receipt you don't want??" and Kim did and so obviously I asked Val who this lady was and she told me "Love Story" and eventually I understood that it is a Quebecois reality show and I was asking "Is it like, a dating show??" and yeah, the guy in front of me was buying about 40 tetrapaks of RICE DREAM and he was English but probably cooler than me because he's a Montreal native maybe, and he was saying that there is this whole Quebecois celeb culture that you'd have no idea about if you weren't all up in it. As I was saying the other day to me homegirls who were all, "What do you mean, you've never SEEN Arrested Development??" As I was SAYING...."I only know TV up until Dawson's Creek, you guys."
I decided to look up Love Story in relation to Quebec and reality tv, and it took awhile and I kind of wished I had made an AliMcGrawlovemeansneverhavingtosayyou'resorry joke to the Rice Dreamer because then I might have saved myself 2 minutes on Google, by writing LOFT Story instead of LOVE Story.
To me, this woman looked like a lot of women that hang out on Crescent (I know because I work in the heart of it) and that means they are over-tanned with a lot of make-up and their hair looks stiff and like it made love to a curling iron for at least 48 minutes, and there might be an aura of du Maurier smoke hovering about and you start to worry about the setting on their lighter, because if it's accidentally set to FLY NINE INCHES HIGH then there goes the cheveux because it's coated in half a can of BIG SEXY HAIR volumizing hairspray.
I thought she looked about 30 but her bio says 1984. I wonder if she goes tanning at Cabana Sol around the corner... I wonder if they ask for her autograph there...
Anyways, Kim Rusk seemed really nice and I guess it would be sort of like Real World San Fran fever circa 1994 or Real World San Fran Fever circa it's just as exciting to follow a whole season in syndication more than a decade after it was super relevant to pharmacy employees.
I'm actually sort of really curious now, maybe I should start watching Loft Story somehow...maybe on the internet?? Maybe you can rent it at Videotron?? From what I understand, Kim is now the ANIMATRICE and the show is in it's 5th season and she won a lofty prize in the 3rd season and I think ANIMATRICE means she's become the host.
Val was SUPER-excited and kept saying how pretty Kim was to which the Rice Dreamer quipped "She sure is tanned!" and I didn't take it the wrong way or anything but he was saying that it's not surprising that as an English student from the other side of the border, I've never heard of Loft Story.
Personally, I think it's surprising that with a ponytail and hometown hippy vibe like his, Rice Dreamer should know that Rice Dream is like half the price it is at Pharmaprix at Seagal's, and I know it's not on sale this week at Pharmaprix because I LOVE MY PUBLISAC and swallow it religiously (on Sundays.)
Also, I was thinking today about how absolutely crazy it once was that Madonna decided to call herself Madonna and do lots of unCatholic style things...
This might be true of a lot of peeps, so did anyone else know I'mkeepingthebaby Madonna before they heard about all that other Madonna stuff from way back when??
Madonna and Child! SUP SUP SUP! NICE PURSE!
