a tale of toronto
Category: potpourri

First and foremost, I want to wish a VERY Happy 30th Birthday to (e:imk2) today!!!!!

We headed up to Toronto last night to see the UB40 concert.

Long story short, we were 3 hours late. They wouldn't let us in, so we went round to the back stage door and grooved to the crystal clear sounds of the last 5 or 6 songs. Man I love that group.

We wandered around town for a bit.

We grabbed dinner at the local market. Here is Yvonne holding our noodle soup bowls and chopsticks amidst the colourful detergents. How much detergent does one need to stock in a little market anyway?

Today we hit H&M, Chinatown, the Shoe Museum and the Polish village.

These flip flops got my attention...I just don't know what to say

On second thought, I do.... "holy chow"!

Weird shoes...

Cool shoes....

I want these shoes! (made with a genuine Guinness beer can)

What exactly are these 'bubbles' in bubble tea? I ended up with a purple drink that tasted like coconut with green gelatinous balls as displayed by (e:imk2)

We enjoyed a tasty Polish dinner and made it back to the car just in time to stop an inspector from writing up a ticket...phew!

On the way home.

Ah only 3 hours late it isn't that late, to bad you ladies where late but glad you still had fun. I love the night picture of the fountains at dundas square i belive it is called by the hardrock cafe.

I really miss good authentic ingredients imported from Poland real Polish Food. I haven't been on Spadina in years, So Jealous. What saves me is we get some good stuff from a Polish Deli in Hamilton on Barton St every once in a while on our way home from my Uncle's house in Oakville.

Glad you had a good time.

I forgot to ask you if you made it to Kensington Market, just the other side of Chinatown, one block west of Spadina, between Dundas West and College.

I assume y'all went up the Q.E.W. My guess this fatal accident was why y'all were late: :::link:::

I'm glad to hear you guys at least got a chance to hear the band and had a nice time in T.O.

The bubbles in bubble tea are tapioca pearls. :::link:::

grab your lederhosen
Category: easter

I stuffed my face with a dozen Cadbury mini eggs last night at (e:jenks)'s. What does this tell you? Easter is upon us. Even if you don't believe in or celebrate the day, I'm sure you still indulge in all the tasty chocolate treats that emerge but once a year. That's not my point so I'll shut up now. Go here:

a little bit like me again...
Category: potpourri

My friend Cory came over tonight. We played ping pong and he won - but I was very, very close. We played pool and he won - but I was very, very close. We played nut busters and I'm pretty sure I won, but maybe it was a draw.

He flipped me upside down and held me in the air, which made me smile ear to ear - because that impressed the shit out of me. We played old skool N64 Mario Kart and I kicked his ass to the moon!!! I was laughing, I was smiling, I was enjoying myself...I felt a little bit like me again...reigning champion of Mario Kart, mistress of the universe, cool girl on the block.....I felt a little bit like me again :)

metalpeter - 04/10/06 19:23
Glad to hear you are back to being you.

theecarey - 04/10/06 16:44
I really like your user pic-- reminds me of a magazine ad. Not sure what- I am sure to imagine all sorts of crazy possibilities..

jenks - 04/10/06 05:06

i lost my earrings on elmwood
Category: rain

So...(e:nejifer) and I had a free class period today, so we thought we would enjoy the lovely weather with a SPOT coffee and a waltz down elmwood. We did a little shopping, then got caught in that wicked thunderstorm.

The rain was falling so heavily and the wind blowing so hard, I lost my earrings! They quite literally blew out of my ears! By the time we got to the car, we were soaked to the bone. We had presentations to do for class, but couldn't show up looking like sponges, so we had to make an emergency trip to Target.

New shirt, new socks, new panties, new bras, new shoes, new pants...and yes, new earrings. I look like a pink commando rock star. We would have taken a pic but Jen's camera was being fussy, so I drew one for you instead :)

good luck on your demo!

jenks - 04/03/06 18:58
wtf gives with spot/losing earrings happening on the same day all the time?? (but speaking of pink, I saw the cutest little girl, like 4 or so, in the airport with your pink adidas and though of you.)

theecarey - 04/03/06 18:31
I got slammed in the rain/thunder storm as well. I was entirely drenched in a matter of seconds.
