So I just got to Montreal on Saturday after a summer in Quebec City where I spent all my money. And now I'm bored. I know there's a great city out there, outside my window, to be discovered....once my loan comes through. I have to wait a WEEK before I can do any shopping for my new apartment, before I can get some flea-bag mattress off of craigslist, before I can buy a goddamn t-shirt! I have money for food, don't worry dear readers about my empty stomach, but life can be so very boring when

a. you're new to a town and don't know anyone except your temporary roommate who may or may not like you.
b. you are broke.
c. you are waiting for your study abroad program to start.

I mean, if I was dealing with any one of those problems on their own, I could find a way to stay amused. I guess I'm mostly wishing I had some people with whom I could hang out, money problems be damned! But to just sort of putz around Montreal on my own without anyone to talk to gets kind of old after a couple days.

By the way, is anyone else sort of taken aback by the foxy pictures of Ira freaking Glass all over Vox this week? He's such a super-nerd, but he looks like he's about the ravish the shit out of me.
