Thanks to Katy, I just experienced my first espresso in the patio of MBCo, La Boulangerie De Montreal, a new café on Cumberland Street. They just opened the place last Wednesday and here is what they say about themselves:

“Because we felt a five hour drive was a little much to experience Montreal’s newest and most talked about culinary hotspot, we decided the responsible thing to do was to find a way to share it with you. So we’ve come to Toronto …

MBCo., a “nouveau” bakery/café concept, offers it’s customers a guiltless “menu du marché” by providing you high quality comfort food that is good for the body, great for the soul and pleasing to the palette, working in total concert within a harmonious environment.”

The ambience is just great and it’s definitely worth a visit. Check them out at 100 Bloor West, Unit 7 (corner of Bellair & Cumberland), Yorkville, Toronto, ON M5S 3L3 Tel: 416-961 –MBCO (6226)
Operating hours: Daily from 7am – 7pm

They better pay me back for promoting them 😉 Enjoy!

To those of you who gives a S***:

* I finally filed my tax for the year 2004. Hallelujah …
* My darling cell phone is fixed. As a matter of fact they replaced it with a new one. God bless my extended warranty! It’s a cute one. Check it out if you wish.
* I think I told you that my watch was broken; Didn’t I?! Well, I bought a new one today 🙂 exactly the same face but a different band which I immediately changed it with my own. It feels great to have it back as I am so used to it and more importantly it was a very special gift for a relatively special occasion!
* The last but not the least: Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi is now out in English and is available @ amazon.ca (or .com!)

Laterz 😉

This Résumé Maker program ROCKS indeed!!! Someone (known as the thief of the net) downloaded it for me a couple of days ago and since then I got quite obsessed with it. You can do so many cool things with it. The best part is that it has the ability to send your résumé to thousands of job searching sites in North America. According to that someone, the day you submit your résumé through this thingy, your job hunting world will be changed. You will receive millions of emails from different companies, career agencies and headhunters, desperately looking for YOU.

Good luck to all the job hunters and god bless the Mr. Thief (he knows who he is) 😉

My cell phone is not working, my watch is broken! They are both out for repair. Friends just left. It was fun but I’m so bloody full after all those wine, cheese and cakes. Bono is still singing together with my dishwasher! Not a bad first of April. Not at all bad.

I’m knackered . Nite 🙂

Let’s make this short and simple:

JetsGo is out of business, Sir Elton John is hitting the ACC in six months, Martha Stewart is even richer than before, Spider-Man 2 was not as bad as I thought, Michael Jackson is screwed, I still haven’t heard from them, Norooz is on the way, this season of the Apprentice sucks, George H. Ross is visiting the indigo on Bloor street next week, Juventus made Real Madrid cry, and tomorrow I’m working so better stop bullshitting.

Nite darlings 🙂

Have you ever wondered why French ladies are always slim and stylish? You see them early in the morning or after a long working day and they still look at their best. French Women Don’t Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano will tell you why.

I was at Chapters (as usual!) yesterday and was leafing through the pages of this book. It sounds very interesting and I reckon it would help. Well, it better does! To learn more about the book, you can read the article at CBS News.

I’m SO going to buy the book (the cover ROCKS too!) and I’m SO going to enjoy my wine and cheese from now on!

Stay tuned …

I even dream of Straight Flush and Full House these nights!!!

All of us have recently become quite obsessed with cards; more specifically with POKER! Some take it more seriously and some are more casual but the truth is we are all obsessed.

I clearly remember the film”Rounders” which I saw perhaps six or seven years ago in a movie theatre in London. I liked it a lot but even then I thought it would be so cool if you actually know the game and its glossary and enjoy watching Matt Damon, Edward Norton and John Malcovich playing it.

Mr. Blockbuster, see you tomorrow!

Just finished watching the Golden Globe Awards. I am so trilled for Jamie Fox!!! He truly deserved it. Most of my favourites won tonight. Natalie, Clive, Leonardo, Hilary and …

Didn’t know Clint Eastwood composes too. Well congrats to all the winners. I can’t wait to see the Sideways. Better catch up!

After two hours deciding and driving around in the bloody freezing weather, we finally ended up in a pub. The singer was a Dolores Waana-Be and screwed up the Linger big time. The Stella was good though. Not so good in fact. Have to burn the calories now.

Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger …

God bless all the organizers!

I was disappointed!!! It wasn’t as good as I thought at all. Too long!!! Quite boring!!! in one word, DON’T EXPECT TOO MUCH!

The film is the bio of Howard Hughes (1905-1976), played by Leonardo Dicaprio. His acting is actually top notch. Nice accent Leo! Cate was great too! Blanchett I mean. Let’s see what they are gonna do at the Golden Globe.
