i like snmnmnm. i’m listening to the spring break song of the week right now and feeling sad that i have to start class again in forty minutes. but let’s not talk about school sucking, or the trouble i’m having arranging housing for the fall, or how i spent part of this morning sewing up a hole in my pocket that caused me to lose probably the fifth pen in the past month. let’s talk about some spring break highlights.

did you know i got to go to toronto? that’s in canada. i went to another country for the second time in my life last weekend. that alone was fun. did you read that onion article a couple weeks ago about the guy who went to canada and it really “broadened his horizons” and showed him about diversity in the world and all that? well i’m not that stupid, but it’s still novel that i went to canada. i walked around the city with kate and did other things with her too like ride streetcars. and eat yummy vegetarian sushi. and drink everfresh brand fruit punch, which i found was very good. we got dinner at red lobster and i ordered crab legs, which was really stupid i realized, because you get this plate full of red things and it’s basically like eating the legs of a giant red spider. it’s really not very appetizing. sadly, there were no trips to tim horton’s for donuts, especially because i really like donuts.

yes, there IS more. i know, it was an exciting week.

for example, we went to a pinback show which i really liked. i bought one of their cds which i also liked because it turns out a lot of the stuff they play at concerts is on their cds. lucky me. we saw a beatiful mind which i think should be called “a beautiful girl named jennifer connely”, and have the focus shifted to whatever character it is that she played, because she’s unbelievably gorgeous. and she was in the rocketeer, which i really like. anyway, that was a good movie even with it’s original title. i don’t know if it’s oscar-caliber though in my opinion. i sure think it was way better than that crappy gladiator movie that won last year though. and that russel guy was way better in this movie than that stupid gladiator movie too because he did this cool thing where he showed more than just his one standard emotion (gruff macho guy) for the whole film, making it better than gladiator already. plus it had jennifer connely who is great looking.

did you know that the cn tower in toronto has the highest public observation deck in the world, at something around 150 storeys? i do now, because i went up in it. they have a part with a glass floor too. now that’s fun. for some reason everyone’s first instinct is to jump on it though. i watched for a good few minutes — i’d say at least 80% of the people that went on it, the first thing they did was jump on it. kate even did it. i don’t get that. is everyone really hoping that maybe when they do it, that’ll be the final stress that cracks the glass and sends you falling to your ultimate demise? (albeit many seconds later since you started so high off the ground). people are weird.

toronto is also weird because they have rickshaws. not with little asian guys in big hats pulling bamboo carts though; normal guys in windbreakers pulling what’s basically a cross between a wheelbarrow and a park bench, i guess. i really wanted to ride one and/or get a picture of one (or of me in one, dare i hope), but i didn’t get to. now i have to go back to toronto someday. or somewhere else where they have rickshaws maybe.

i also bought a book at 40% off at a place that claimed to be the world’s biggest bookstore (that was the name of the store anyway). and a refrigerator magnet to commemorate the adventure.

eventually i got on a plane and went to boston, but i’ll give you those spring break highlights later or maybe tomorrow, because spring break is over and i have to go to class now.
