awkward fashion show
end of halloween nite on college street and everyone’s wasted
nice sky driving to the supermarket
mmmmm burrito
dog fight, chillax they wuz justa wrastlin’
proof cid is evil he sleeps with one eye open
met at the eaton centre yesterday to start christmas shopping early, we didn’t buy any presents and i was in a nice crabby mood, we met at city grill and i had a shitty caesar salad despite the menu saying it would be delicious. they sat me upstairs cos i was dressed like a skid then two minutes later work clothes fil shows up to join me and all the bitches are like oh whoops. haha.
why don’t people know how to walk in malls? why does everyone seem lost and dazed and stupid? it’s only going to get worse the closer to holiday season. i think next time i’m drunk shopping, my brother swears by it.
anyway here’s a backlog of photos, you know i still haven’t even posted steph’s birthday party pictures or the second half of my art show ones ps. i have been paralyzed with art show paintings fear for weeks, i haven’t made any new ones or even gotten close to making plans for a second party so don’t ask, it’ll happen, i was waiting for halloween to be over and the election and ten hundred other excuses.
magical!
then my banana rang.
oh man guess how many vanity mirror photos i took of myself.
i was feelin’ on this old speaker apparently.
walter just stepped off the set of wild wild west, his demeanor is a trip.
it’s damn near impossible to get a still picture of richie havens strumming/tuning/casting spells on his guitar, i didn’t want to interrupt with flash. fuck even just doing a tuning warm-up sounds like the most beautiful music you ever heard.
what’s this? oh just a guitar lesson FROM A LEGEND is all no big deal or anything.
i did a pretty good job as merch girl and got an earful of woodstock stories pretty fun oh and the sneaked rye and cokes were a plus for sure.
ok now on to one of my other favourite hobbies PICTURES OF AUTUMN LEAVES.
this tree is closer to red now so pretty.
can you imagine being an awkward teenager and having this parked in your driveway? DAAAAAAAAAAD you’re embarrassing me!
saturday’s curry.
my dad finally has his dinky/corgi collection showcase up and running again. i wonder what shit i’ll collect when i’m older. i asked him once how much all of these are worth, he said some ridiculous amount and it’s probably even more now.
look at that shit, with the original box too. mom don’t even start what with yer miniatures, antiques, tins, and country barn finds. do you guys know how many times i was dragged to antique stores as a kid, not to mention massive open air markets on hot blistery summer days full of junk from all over ontario? flamboro anyone? aberfoyle? i think my cousin bought a knife similar to crocodile dundee’s at one, those guys are so greedy for money they’ll sell anything to kids.
this just reminded me i have a ton of ROM pics yet to go through grooooan.
another batmobile and the silver one on the left is a bond car i believe. he also has a starsky and hutch car that when you press the top they take turns shooting out each window.
i’m glad these book cases were salvaged from my grandparent’s den.
i like how it looks like this is the only sweater i ever wear now.
oh my rocky.
see? upstairs at city grill. bunch of cocks. not going back, should be called shitty grill on account of the expensive tourist garbage food.
christmas decorations out everywhere, it’s nice and all albeit stressful to see. i gather the quicker they get it out the quicker people start flipping out over presents and start spending, it lengthens holiday shopping days. scoundrels.
another favourite of mine. last year i failed to capture it properly and thought oh i’ll get it tomorrow then that nite we received a cold snap and all the leaves curled up.
i bought a few cheap things from h&m yesterday in an attempt to quieten my rage.
went to dooney’s for our first time and were slightly unimpressed. the scene lost its novelty pretty quickly and by scene i mean the waspiest poseur writer eccentrics you ever did see. the food selection was lame and the calamari was too fishy. our waiter was really nice though so i felt guilt over everything as usual he kept giving me eyes behind fil’s head haha i was like does he recognize me or something or am i just babing out right now? then i went down to whizz before we left and there was smelly urine EVERYWHERE so i held it. sorry don’t think we’re coming back dooney’s. we initially went to kilgour’s but all the booth tables were taken.
new old lady shades that take up more than half my face YES!
bday necklace for sass.
pms chocolate.
here’s our anniversary dinner, backlogged as usual, wha-tevs. we settled on fier mosca cos we are lazy and coincidentally (well sort of) we celebrated valentine’s day there a day early last year, as we celebrated our anni a day early this year too cos friday was gonna be a busy one. oh yeah fil’s mom says you should book valentine’s dinner like TODAY as it will fall on a saturday. god like i can even think that far ahead what with christmas in the way and do restaurants even have their 2009 reservation calendars yet? holy enough neurotic nerdy fears this morning?
same room as v day except newly renovated, quelle surprise!
complimentary bruschetta and we really liked our drinks guy on account of his surlyness, abruptness, partial deaf/ignoring usness, his likeness to the dude and the guy in vanilla sky tom cruise saves from being fired AND i saw him pour himself a secret beer and pound it. our waiter on the other hand, we learned his entire life story. nice guy. i got busted nodding and pretending to understand what he was saying ha.
cozy.
their website is down so i can’t get you the exact terminology plus i don’t want to link it on account of the s-talk. this is caprese salad with mozarella di bufala, which blows your fucking pants off, bocconcini doesn’t hold a candle to it. downside, tres expensive.
this is a take on beef carpaccio i suppose, this is tenderloin with radicchio, it was nice. the bitterness of the radicchio (purple stuff) when it’s warmed it tastes i dunno, interesting. it reminded me of this jamie oliver salad we made actually. flickr is exceptionally slow for me right now how is it for you, is any of this shit loading?
here it is again cast in less offensive shadow.
that woman over fil’s shoulder was blabbing her head off i don’t think that old guy said one word period or could even hear her, she was wine cackling too, hello anniversary over here and we’re in a tiny empty room together your sound travels. don’t think i didn’t enjoy every minute of it though. old companion had a serious hearing aid too so i’m certain his nodding was all an act, too funny. oh and then the main course of entertainment arrived, this coug and a young yuppie guy, fil googled his name on the spot when he yelled it out. v picky eater too.
you can hear the blabbing woman in this video.
then i got the roadkill platter, quail and sausage.
i don’t know what this was but as leftovers it was pretty sweet. here’s me no carbs no carbs LAY OFF I’M STARVING a la chris farley.
greasy oily veg with some little potatoes sneaked in there.
i blabbed straight off the bat that we were celebrating our 4th anniversary to ensure something out of it and then just as we were about to burst two slabs of delicious cake on the house arrives. uh thanks we were kinda hoping on shots. fil actually palmed the smaller cake and flushed it in the john that’s how full we were and didn’t want to appear unappreciative. THEN the shots arrived. haha.
and like last time the limoncello gets us cocked and then fil can’t drive to the beer store so we head next door to the bedford.
oh hey nice to see you it’s our anniversary oh yeah well i just proposed to my lady oh you don’t say thunder stealer?
accidentally uploaded this one why not add it?
i just slammed my face on a dryer door in front of my laundry nemesis BESTIE and made her laugh and then she told me how she did that once on a freezer door.
next time i’ll remember to wink.
i even went against the flow of my bangs swoop just for you.
while we wait for the magic to upload and process lets share in the beauty what is this, don’t puke on it.
was it a success or a failure?
i added garlic to the other dish and red peppers.
i did a bang on impression of sarah palin last nite and then cid gave fil a warning bite. i will make a video to share with the internet tomorrow. if you have a question you want me to answer as Raymah Palinode email it to me or put it in the comments.
THANKS YA MAVERICKS!
