Oh Weekend…

… how i love thee. Did you do great things this fin de semaine? Me no. But kinda! I hurt my thumb in a gross way. I decided against posting a pic of it. Oh yeah and that thing with Pride Toronto. Oy. You can read about that on the main Xtra page. But i want to share about my findings. I am single and thus spend much time going to thrift stores for treasures, biking and also, going to the library. This weekend i picked up some nice books about lesbian LOVEMAKING. It’s in French but ILLUSTRATED. I went to the farmer’s market also. But Lesbian Book oh yes. Here are some pics from this mediocre but awesome but normal weekend spent in my hood (South-West represent). I also biked everywhere. Montreal Libraries.

I need to write about my weekend more often.
