Aux Plaisirs de Bacchus

Bacchus was the Roman God of wine, somehow equated with the Greek God Dionysus but that’s not what I wanted to write about. “Aux Plaisirs de Bacchus” is a super charming store in Bernard street, (Which is one of my favorite streets in Montreal and I think you’ve got it by now), specialized in wine accessories and more! From Books to wall-mounted old-fashioned bottle-opener, from Czech crystals to Absinth fountains, you can find anything Winy! there. I even found a fabulous Aroma-box (Anybody who has seen the movie “French Kiss” knows exactly what I’m talking about), that despite my will, I’m not going to spend 600$ for it.
And finally, in this glorious place, I’ve found stemware racks I’d searched everywhere for and hopefully, I should finish making my bar by tonight. I will write about my cute little bar, as soon as it’s ready.
So I drink my glass of port to Bacchus. Not the God, the Store!

The life of a bullet

I watched “lord of war” on DVD last night and I have to admit that my intellectual sense! was way off when it had suggested the movie must be a typical senseless Hollywood action, first time I’d seen the trailer.

It was SMART, it was entertaining, it was marvelously-executed, and most of all, it had a POINT and if the storyline wasn’t so predictable, with so much Hollywood cliché, it could have been even a masterpiece!
Anyway, I think “Lord of War” was the most thoughtful way to inform the public about what’s going on in the filthy world of arms trade without forcing them to watch a dead-boring documentary!

I just can’t stop admiring the opening scene, a bullet’s amazing trip, from the factory to a young African’s brain!
