one minute shopping
2021-11-07 00:10I'm back in Montreal for a week. New location.
I tell people about living most of my life within a 10 minute walk of a supermarket, but I've outdone myself this time; it's just one minute away.
It seems like I've reset the season a bit; trees are colored and leaves are falling, but the trees aren't as bare as they were getting in Quebec City. Though that could also be an altitude/microclimate thing, Old Quebec is like 60 meters above the river, I don't think most of Montreal is that high. But we're also a bit further south.
Montreal has had the most disappointing Thai food I've ever had. Beef fried rice from the Thai Express chain before, pad see ew from Baba Thai tonight. Edible but unexciting.
I'm watching Shirobako, the original anime about making anime. It's a lot of fun. There's stuff I could criticize, but whatever. Fun.
I somehow learned of The Shogun's Daughter from 1910; it was a fun read. Somewhat pulpy and romantic, but seemed pretty well researched, especially for 1910. Shorter and with more appealing character than Clavell's Shogun, which I'm reading now. Different time period; Daughter is about the Perry period, right before and right after.
