Five signs of the spring’s arrival

1. Skirts on the march! ( Unlike Bush’s democracy, they are truly on the march!)
2. Fragrance of the grass!
3. Moisture in the air!
4. Tables and chairs sitting outside of the cafés and restaurants
5. Naz’s cute welcome note!

Enjoy the Spring and indulge as much as you can!

A great day to be alive

Unlike Tehran, in Montreal spring does not come on March 20th. It comes when the temperature reaches to a certain level where ladies can comfortably wear short skirts with bare legs! There’s no need to say that their comfort level, which is slightly higher than water’s freezing point! is quite different than that of a normal human being!
I used the word “comfortably” since you can see them, wearing skirts and standing in lines in front of St-Laurent’s clubs on Saturday nights even when the temperature is 30 degrees below zero! (and I always admire them, while shivering, from the inside of my mobile shelter, normally made of twelve layers of clothes, jackets, gloves, hat, scarf and sometimes a stupid face-cover!)
Anyway, today was the day that gorgeous Montrealers were marching in the streets, showing off their beautiful bodies as well as their bold taste in fashion, to celebrate the unofficial annual parade of féminité and spring.

P.S. Item of the day: Hair removal wax! :)

Quote of the day

Ben Gurion: In Middle East, in order to be a realist, you have to believe in miracle!

Trojan horse and public illiteracy

I remember when I went to see the movie “Troy”, I got so frustrated. It wasn’t just because they’d squeezed a ten years war into a less than two weeks combat or they’d totally ignored the whole concept of Achilles’ immortality, or the fact that they’d censored Achilles and Patroclus love affair for the sake of the American homophobic audience. The reason of my frustration was, as the movie went on and the Trojans accepted the horse and etc (as I hope you know the story! :)), when Greeks jumped out of the horse, Paris and his army were not the only individuals who got surprised, but a good portion of the audience were accompanied them with a “Waaaaaaaaoooo” Sound!
And I was like “It’s obvious that you don’t read, but did any of you go to school at the some point or what?!!”
Well, considering the fact that Canadians and specially Montrealers are considered quite knowledgeable in North America, and they really are, you can figure out the rest!
