Music and the Lady Upstairs




I don't know what it is about Christmas but to me, one of the most important things about is the high quality of the music. Right now on the radio, you can find all kinds of soulful moving melodies.
It's early in the morning in the residence and usually, I don't have the music on. And if I do I put on the headphones. But I have a rather unruly neighbour with a noise problem and I have been advised when she starts to bother me, put on the music.
It's actually a funny feeling because until now I have been firmly told to stop making noise. However, my neighbour has had free rein for years.
So picture this. It's in the middle of the night and it's black outside. All of a sudden the lady starts to do her take on wailing and I fumble for the clicker to turn on the radio. In the black of night strands of classic music surround me. And the lady's noise is not so important.
Now I have had many people complaining about music and noise. So despite the beautiful sound, I listen with one ear to that loud knock on the door. The lady upstairs is clearly audible. My music as well. The door remains silent. And the music continues until the lady's dreams subside or I remember to turn off the music.

Bieber; Under the Mistletoe

Well the laundry's done. I have two pairs of kicky pajama bottoms waiting to be worn now. We are talking pink leopard and monkeys on a purple background. The dishwasher is out for a couple of days now and we have been eating on paper plates so I am going to look for a nice place to have my lunch today. I have a selection of three restos in mine: French, Brazilian and a coffee with a winning menu.  After that, I am going to go pick up a couple of pastries for tonight and f or Christmas morning. Talking about the French resto, they have some beautiful, decorative pastries. I only hope they are open. Meanwhile, this being the 24th I am going to go back to bed for a bit before I get dressed to search our sustenance.  Meanwhile, why not pick up some Christmas images from Bieber. By the way, what does shawty mean? He says that a lot in the song.

The Before Poster Series

Before posters   The arts in a poor community   When I moved into the downtown sector the plateau Montreal was a very poor community   Although the community was very poor it was densely populated. There were a lot of dry goods establishments mixed with a fair amount of family tolerated prostitution. The police sergeant had taken it upon himself to clean up the area so there were a lot of sponsored artistic establishments Mostly beginning dressmakers. These were young designers that needed a lot of cheap space and fast and they were willing and able to physically fight for their career.  They had many ethnic grocery stores that promoted regional fruits and vegetables  four different kinds of cooking needs. You had Portuguese you had English you had Chinese etc. These culturally diverse grocery stores exist to this very day. You also had a lot of temporary space that could be rented very cheaply for performance. It is from these performances can I tak...
