Burning down the Korean Grill House...

I don't think I've had this much fun, on a weekend, in a long time. I'm going to blame it on the new kids at Payless who have (unwillingly) taken my shifts. Thank you.

FLUID rocked the two-seven-nine last night- they're great guys from Ottawa and had quite the Toronto (Pickering?) fan base. I couldn't help but notice their 'groupies'... they all had some sort of re-occuring theme. Could it be the blonde hair? The platform shoes? Their lack of personality? The cut-up Fluid t-shirts? My dad made those shirts. Fern would never take a pair of scissors to a t-shirt... I was critical and sarcastic because... oh, I don't know... alcohol? Yeah, hammered. Those vodka-crans just kept coming and coming. Yay FLUID!


Today I bought tons of feel good things like food, a book and some cds. Just one of those rewarding-type days where you feel you deserve certain 'necessities'. I also bought some homeless guys' art. He makes cool figurines with coat hangers. I got a little guy holding a mic. DONATION = $2.63

Lauren and I fought boredom like queens this afternoon. We made the best decision ever... and that was to go see FINDING NEVERLAND. Officially added to my 'favorites' list, I don't think I have EVER cried this much in a movie, except for maybe Brokedown Palace. I kept weeping in the washroom afterwards, on the street too... this movie has affected me so much. Such beautiful words, story...ah! AMAZING. I've seen so many reproductions of Peter Pan's story, since it is my all time fave, but this one is incredible. By far, the best.

I wanted to eat somewhere fun and different, so we tried the Korean Grill House on Queen, a place where you cook your own food. There's this fire pit in the middle of your table with a grill on it. We got things like squid, fish, pork, beef and chicken...The idea was cool, but then everything kept tasting like gas and burning. Yum? I got bored with the meats and needed some greens so I ordered a 'awad'. According to the receipt, that's a salad. On top of my semi-disapointment, I had to be an idiot and knock one of our little side dishes into the fire pit. What? The smell of burning plastic is awesome with a side of awad. Luckily, I pulled it out before I caused a scene, until moments later it happened again. EVERYTHING IS OKAY. I KNOW CPR.

Tomorrow, things go back to normal. Oh how much fun it is to be living in a dream.
