An Idea Is Bulletproof

I walked all over the city today :) My legs and feet are SO tired but I feel great :) The weather was just perfect so I walked downtown to meet Nicole for coffee and since it was warm we got ours to go. I tried one of Second Cup's frozen hot chocolates (not Serendepity but I've never tried one anywhere before so I figured I'd try them here then compare at Serendepity whenever I get there) and they are tres yummy.

We ended up feeding a lot of birds, cute little sparrows, then a starling, then something similar to a starling but louder... then pigeons.. then a squirrel came... it was like a little woodland scene (well it was until the pigeons.)

Then we wandered to a great furniture place on Jarvis... I liked it, I'll have to wander back when it's time for me to furnish my bedroom, i.e. buy a bed lol. Because the Ikea put it together yourself approach daunts me. I can do it but their instructions make me want to cry. LisaLisa do you remember me putting together that closet thing? Yeah it's not pretty when I'm in the middle of those projects.

Then from there we wandered to the Blockbuster on Spadina (I have a weakness for DVDs what can I say lol) and I found 'Slap Her She's French'... but the renamed and horribly horribly repackaged version which is now called 'She Gets What She Wants.' It's not a stellar movie by any means but it's funny and I can still remember seeing the trailer for it (twice!) with Viv. I also picked up 'My Date With Drew' which I feel I must watch this week. Tanya recommended it to me and I just like the premise of making this random dream come true. How great that things like that can happen if you work for them!

Then I walked home. Much walking, but I liked it, I ended up wandering passed the store where (almost a year ago now) I bought the 'Big Daddy' cookie when waiting to get inside the Phoenix for the Slean show. I was too tired by then to check on their cookie status, I have no idea if they even make those anymore. But they were yummy and funny as hell.

What a great day.

I met up with Neal and we wandered to Value Village to drop off some stuff for him and I randomly found a new Columbia wintercoat for me for next year (since my current one is about 2 sizes too big) and then a RENT movie poster that cost .99cents! So that was fun. Then we ended up walking to Riverdale Farm because he hadn't seen it, and I love it there. Since it was the first spring feeling day in a while there were lots of little kids there, so adorable! As for animals there were the cutest pigs which were like a rust colour, and twin baby cows and some very roly poly sheeps! Also a huge turkey who scared me. That's one animal I do not want to take home.

From there we wandered for coffee and I remembered that place Mr. de Vries used to recommend and it wasn't too far so we went there and who did I see but Mr. de Vries! So random but good. And then Neal and I had our coffee, chatted some and then I walked home from there. I think I spent at least 2 hours walking today, very nice :) Toronto is such a great walking city once you get going. This month my lack of metropass has made me walk more on the weekends, and I've been keeping up with getting off of the streetcar early so I can walk for about 20 minutes on my way home. All good. Actually Neal observed that I could walk to his place without too much trouble. I think as the weather gets nicer I'm going to try that.

Oh back to the randomness, we also saw one of the judges from Canadian Idol when we were out for coffee, Zach I believe his name is.... I dunno. It was very random, especially as it seemed he was just wandering around the place, and outside, and back in again... very random.

Dinnertime soon :)
