Man it's strange being back at my parents house here in the States. I mean I haven't been in Toronto that long but it really has started to feel like "home". I blame you SG, exposing me to all kinds of cool people to hangout with and to show me awesome sights. Really it has been awesome making so many cool friends in such a...

Walden...read. I will admit he finally tones down the "oh I know better then everyone else and am going to turn my nose up at them" stuff towards the end. The last 70 pages (out of 300) were at least tolerable. I wrote my paper on it. Except I think my paper kind of sucks. Not because I didn't try, it's just I didn't really...

I'm kind of suprised it took this long to get a Ghost World Themed SG Set. Oh Ghost World, how I will remember you as the book I was reading as I went in the psych hospital.

I've been trying to post a blog for a week now but something always comes up or my browser eats it. So here goes. I just this week's blog theme is Adulthood vs. Childhood.

You know what has been creeping me out lately? Those ads for those "K-Tel Mini Pop Kids" cds that seem to run every ad break no matter what channel I'm watching....

For those of you who cook, what's your thoughts on Gordon Ramsay? I mean hell's kitchen and the rest of the Fox that crap aside. I like the man, I mean he has a good cooking philosophy. Good high quality can be simple and local. Exotic doesn't always equal good. I think he's true personality is better shown on the BBC. I especially love hearing...

Wow today was really bad but more on that later. Worst in a while.

Yesterday was nice. Hung out with some of you cool folks and a few people I hadn't met before and proved that you're never too old to slide face first down a sledding hill into plastic bowling pins. An awesome night topped off by coming home to a new episode of...

Please...Kill me...Now

Gah I hate chem labs. I thought I understood until now. Crap.

EDIT: Well...crap. What a stupid thing to cause a panic attack.

It's late but I don't really feel like sleeping so I thought I would do a recap/commentary on my first real week in Toronto.

The Apartment:
My apartment is still pretty awesome. No noisy neighbors, clean, safe building, with a good super. Given there's a couple of oddities like how the taps on my kitchen sink are backwards (the hot is on the right). But...

I should be reading for class but you people are way more interesting. Really.

A big hello to all of the nice SG ladies I met at the Bovine. It was awesome to meet all of you. Hope to hangout with you again.

I guess it's time to write that yearly blog entry where you tell all of the internet how your holidays were.
Umm...they were ok. I got apartment/household stuff. I got to see my cats and hang out with them. That enough? Well too bad since my holidays were pretty uneventful. Not bad, just uneventful

On to new business. Things are going ok up here in...

Wow is it snowy out. But I have a comfy apartment finally and don't really have to be anywhere so I don't care.

I mean I was going to write about things here in Toronto but really it was quite boring so I'm just going to skip right to the cat pictures. Why? Because I miss my little guys. And well I like cats.

EDIT:...

Gah I hate fucking banks. I ask them the status of my student loans and if they need anything from me and they say no and that they will be processed in 24-48 hours. A week later when I call about it they say they didn't get some information that they've told me before they had received. Gah.

Ok frustrated rant over.

So other then...
