TWO updates
this week! To make up for the total lack the last two weeks. The other (posted
yesterday) is essentially a breakdown of what annoys me about the plethora of
“Oh no – so many single women!” articles I’ve read over the last year so if
you’re not looking for a rant you can just read this one ;)
Things I
have done in the last three weeks:
Read some great books
Highly
recommended:
The Edible
Woman, Margaret Atwood
Ordinary
Thunderstorms, William Boyd
The
Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, Alan Bradley
Not
recommended:
The Black
Obelisk, Erich Maria Remarque
Gone to concerts
Thanks to a
friend who’s in the know about events around the city I’ve seen Lisa Hannigan
(look her up on YouTube, she’s quite good) and The Flaming Lips in the last few
weeks. I’m not the most up-to-date musically but live music is always good and
Toronto gets some fantastic performers.
Seen some movies
The most
fun was Blazing Saddles, last week’s classic movie at the local cinema, which I
got a group together for. Fun had by all, and now I keep wanting to ask people “Where
the white women at?”
Prometheus
was the most recent/big name. I found it distinctly meh. There were amazing
bits and stupid bits, but overall as a science fiction movie it lacked a lot of
science. However, as a scary adventure movie in space it was well worth seeing!
Eaten a lot of frozen yoghurt
Three
places in two hours: it was an epic yoghurt crawl that ended at a bar. That was
a nice reverse on so many of my university nights that started with a bar crawl
and ended eating junk food. I recommend Yoghurt Spoon on Yonge by Wellesley if
you’re looking for frozen yoghurt, and aren’t more likely to just go to the
place nearest you.
Books,
music, movies, food – that about covers my life, right?
This
weekend is a trip to Toronto Island and a scavenger hunt around downtown
Toronto. Can’t wait!
