Full Of Warm Food And Happy-Making Music

Say it with me, Torontonians... "Lousy Smarch weather!"

On a day like this it's no wonder my motivation to spent time out in the world was especially low. Therefore, the evening was spent making homemade tuna bisque, plus I started watching A Crude Awakening. Things I have learned tonight: butter makes everything delicious, and never underestimate the power of human rapacity.

In any case, it's time to enjoy a new song. I bring thee some Canadian content, a new Danny Fernandes song called 'Take Me Away'. LOL @ his vision of Toronto in the future.



Did I mention there is a BENNY BENASSI REMIX of this already lovely song?! Oh yes, there is. Enjoy, my pretties. :D

Totally Missed House and The Big Bang Theory Tonight

Today was a busy day.

I had an interview in the morning where I felt I did a really good job of showing how skillful I am in my field. When I got back home, I checked the weather report and saw it's supposed to rain on and off until Sunday, even though today was sunny. Clearly, there's only one thing for a Torontonian with a sunny, free May afternoon to do: cherry blossom viewing at High Park! I took pictures, not just of cherry blossoms and not just in High Park, but the cherry blossoms were the main attraction.



After romping through the park with my camera, I met up with a friend for a free yoga class downtown. It was one of those basic, starter classes but it was still really good because: 1) it was only four of us and small classes are always better, 2) even though the two of us have both Moksha and Bikram yoga experience, we'd never been formally taught the basic poses from the ground up. It was good to figure out exact how to get the most of the poses and see what I consistently do wrong. Might go for another class on Saturday or Sunday.

Yoga is fun but... weird. I dunno, tons of people are into it but whenever I'm in a class I can't stop thinking things like "LOL instructor teaching me Sanskrit when I can recite sacred hymns" or "thanks to capitalism my religion is being sold to the highest bidder". :P

Anyway, after yoga me and my friend got Thai for dinner. It was so greasy it almost made me nauseous. And it was at a restaurant I usually like too. Every second that passes between the last bite of my meal and now alleviates the grossness in my stomach, so I guess I'll just have to sit this out until I feel better.

And that was my day. *falls over*

Collecting My Thoughts In The Heat

Am outside and on my laptop at the same time. Wheeeee! It really is too hot, even just sitting here, even with the lovely breeze blowing. A little bit of cloud cover would do the trick. I bet the temperature will be just perfect around 7 PM.

A couple weeks ago I was reading an article in the local newspaper that caught my attention. It was about an author who had written a book about new sexual trends among teenage women, in particular that many young girls see no issue with dispensing oral sex. Hand-wringing aside, the thing that caught my attention was something the author said, that when interviewing these girls she heard from many of them that they engaged in oral sex because (to paraphrase) they were amazed at how they could make a boy go weak with their skills and that having that power is hard to resist.

My first thought, of course, was: "Oh god, young women have so little power in every other aspect of their life, that the only time they feel they have some leverage is when they are servicing men sexually." Talk about a disenfranchised oppressed class.

Feeling roasted. Going inside to cool down and drink some orange juice.

And So It Begins

OMFG THERE ARE FLURRIES OUTSIDE MY WINDOW.

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

This is... really deterring me from taking out the trash and heading out for some grocery shopping.

It's Too Early For This!

-1 degree Celcius tonight? Really??

God, autumn in Canada sure is depressing sometimes.

(Oh god, apparently it's snowing downtown right now. Nooooooo.)
