Today while rushing from one class to another, I really needed to go...
weak bladder + coffee = lots of frequent washroom visits
It was 12:30pm, and my class starts at 12:30pm...
I hate being late, but nature calls.
I run downstairs and make straight for the washroom...
as I rush in, a voice in my mind yells "WRONG!"
I stop...
it takes me a couple seconds to realize that the layout is all wrong, and there is a row of urinals against the wall...
me: "oh F#@%k"...
I turn around and slowly walk out... I didn't want to draw any attention to myself...


exams don't start until next week and I'm already loosing my marbles...

the city of Toronto has finally provided us with recycling containers…

and I realized I used to recycle a lot of things that are on the "Do Not Recycle" list…

these daffodils remind me of eggs sunny side up…

coffee descriptions can read so tasty...

we love a good cupcake

Tamil protest on the Gardiner Expressway...

Sunday night around 7pm the Tamil protesters took over the Gardiner by walking up the Spadina ramp, and the traffic in my neighborhood came to a stop. We weren't aware of this as we were enjoying dinner in Brampton. We did learn of it on the way back along with thousands of other people. Usually it takes us around 35min to get back home from my Mom's, last night it took us a little bit over 2 hours.

no traffic either way on Gardiner... all the cars down there are police vehicles... or on Spadina...
there were so many police officers... those in their full riot gear were a bit scary...
a bit after midnight, the protesters started to leave the Gardiner...
and marched up Spadina chanting "No more genocide!"... with police escort of course...
I can't disagree with the protest... thousands of people are dying... I hope this has heleped their cause...
