Num nums

I love radishes, and I'm making no apologies about it.

Showers schmlawers

My friend V-Barrz and I have been firing a couple e-mails back and forth on the topic of bridal showers as I have one coming up I must attend (who in our age group doesn't have about 12-15 coming up this summer?)

V-B: Although that really does suck about the shower – I don’t know why us girls have to do those stupid shitty things. They are the most boring things in the world. Sorry, I guess that’s not making you feel much better about the whole thing :S I just figure people will (hopefully) have to do it for me one day and I won’t care how bored everyone is b/c I’ll be opening gifts and getting free shit!

Me: God, SO effing true re the stupid showers. Think of something NEW by now, people who plan shit and etiquette gurus in gen. I would like some Betty Etiquette type lady to start riffing on the fact that showers are outdated and we need a new way to squeeze coin and loot outta people. But I certainly am waiting for *my day*

Casual Friday

Couple doozies from this morning:

Spotted a short, stout homeless woman carrying a used water bottle filled with milk wearing a shirt that said "no problem." ...right.

An older man wearing a nylon track suit got on the streetcar. I noticed his pants were sitting a little low in the frontal region. When he turned around to take a seat, he was clearly not wearing underpants and his entire ass was exposed. He then sat down.

Note to self: never sit down on the streetcar again. Rather, never take the streetcar in summer. period.

Checklist for cab drivers

Last nite I took a cab home after falling asleep standing up at a show at the Gladstone (Slim Twig and Black Dice, the latter of which I wasn't even conscious long enough to enjoy.) My cab ride home was so ridic. I asked the guy for $2 change. He then scrounged around his cab for money explaining he had just given all his change to the last guy (then get more!!!!$#%^) and then ended up giving me a handful of bullshit and said, "Oh, I think I'm 20 cents short." Thanks a lot dicklick. The whole time he was searching for change he was like, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh, there's a car behind me." Please! You drive a CAB. You NEED CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!

Being not containerist

On a walk just now I saw a man try to mail a letter in one of these Toronto garbage containers

















He was trying to shove it in the red part, labeled LITTER, that had garbage spewing out of it. Yes spewing. I then saw him make a face after his attempt to wedge the letter into not only the LITTER slot but then the blue CANS AND BOTTLES slot.

At the end of the day, if he wanted to mail his letter in the garbage can, I say let him. Live and learn, hey.

I love visiting the zoo, as MP can attest. How sad this is.

T-shirts: passion

I'm going to have to transform this expressly into a blog all about T-shirts I see when out and about.

Some excerpt tees from recent travels around TO:
-"Plastic makes perfect"
-"I'm with illogical" (with an arrow pointing to the right)
-"I'm going to Helsinki" (with an image of a viking)
-"Is it drunk in here or is it just me?"

Pretty good one from today - Giant, teetering woman walking down the street with her child, wearing the following tee:

"To Do List: Be Rich, Be Famous, Be Hot, Be a Diva" each with a check mark beside it.

MAKE MY DAYYYYY

First visit: $50

I went to Whole Foods for the first time ever in life with Bron and his mom on the weekend. When it was my turn to jump outta the car to pay for parking, not only would the machine not accept my money ("this ticket has already been paid") but I found 50 smackers on the GROUND.

I really like Whole Foods.
