Patrick Stewart.

After that Monday Night Football debacle, I luckily flipped to a rerun of the Patrick Stewart SNL episode. 'Phil McCracken: Scottish Therapist' and the Sexy Cake Shop helped ease the pain. Also, maybe the greatest introduction of the musical act.

For those of you with HBO, check out the season finale of 'Extras' for a great Patrick Stewart cameo:

On the set of an Elizabethan drama, Andy pitches a sitcom pilot script to Patrick Stewart, who shares his own screenwriting story ideas (he plays a man with special powers who makes women's clothes disappear, after saving them in Iraq).

Stewart: "For instance I might be walking along and see a beautiful girl and think 'I wish I could see her naked'... and so her clothes fall off."

'Je me souviens' (Montreal 2005)

I wish I took more pictures, especially when I travel, but I resist for two reasons:

1. I don't want to look like a tourist, even though it's pretty obvious that I am one. Pretty dumb reason. And it's not like I give a shit if I see a tourist in Boston snapping pics.

2. I don't want to look like Asian guy taking pics of everything, even though everybody takes pictures these days. Another pretty dumb reason.

Anyway, here are a few from the trip...

A corner of Saint Catherine's St. (the main commercial street of Montreal). On the right is the Much Music building.

There's a lot of interesting graffiti in the east end of Saint Catherine's, where all the punk kids hang out.

I wish I had a nicer camera or actual talent in photography, but I'd like to think this shot kind of sums up the city: Shiny and new, old and beautiful, naked chicks at strip clubs.

Like the previous photo, sans club danseuses.
