ultimately, untimely french.

totally arrived to montreal t-minus 20 minutes ago. etd: 11am...atd: 3pm. so we started the car ride (I definitely took a picture to document the beginning of the trip) and were cruising along. hit up the country house to drop off some extra stuff post-kitchen-construction.

cruised along, with me stretching out in the back, reading some palahniuk and watching some californication, mom and pops taking turns driving. some highlights from our car trip (before we became cranky):

[enter mom, dad, me in the car. sun is shining. mom is driving. I'm looking in the rearview mirror.]
me
me: ma, look at how well they did my eyebrows.
dad: you see how your mother's eyebrows turned out!? [back story is that mom really overplucked one of her eyebrows as a kid so that's always kinda a point of concern in our clan.]
me: yeah, and see? she still found someone who loves her!
dad: yeah, but you know how poor my eyesight is.
[close scene.]

welcome to my family, friends. shoutout to micha for calling me back, one of dan & david's friends from kivunim (not that david went on kivunim, he's a bum) but dan passed along his number so I'll tell everyone how hanging out tomorrow night goes. apparently the night life at mcgill is crazier than in the city, so maybe that'll be true.

another story.
[enter mom, dad & me, almost to the country house. we're approaching a bridge that crosses over what I think is the hudson river.]
dad: you know what this bridge is called?
mom: uh, no.
dad: the dolly parton bridge. [mom chuckles.]
me: why?
mom: do you know who dolly parton is?
me: uh...uh... [making hand motions in the backseat, unsure how to say boobs.]
mom: she had big boobs.
me: yeah, I was going to say didn't she have a big rack?
[close scene.]

anyway, time for dinner. 11:22, classic roger family time. currently tired & cranky but not hungry. I hate long car rides.

for montreal's sake, au revoir.
