At procrastination. Yesterday, instead of writing my Awful Business Paper, I did this:

And being of English descent, we resort, in bad times, to tea. A prelude:

So, last night in our adventures we rescued a Wookie Jedi master, killed a Dark-side alien spider the size of a Mack truck by setting off a space mine inside a controlled space (our team is really big on the "overkill - if it works, it's just kill enough" method of evil-creature fighting), and I acquired a 180-pound lizard-dog-thing (Night Hound) ( Read more... )

Breakfast today: Cheese empanada with Pebre salsa from Panaderia Latina Bakery. We discovered these folks at the Collingwood Multicultural Summer Market, where they were selling both in napkins, and OH MY GOD. Run, don't walk.

First chronologically: did you know there is a completely super-shiny costume store on West Broadway that sells craploads of licensed Harry Potter merchandise (not to mention quite a lot of the rather higher-quality unlicensed stuff?)? I didn't. mik100 found it. It's called... okay, now I ( Read more... )

Okay, three things.

One: I got my hair cut.

Don't panic! I just got layers in the front. So now when I wash my hair it remains wavy. It looks pretty damned cool, if I do say so myself.

Two: I made fudge. Okay, technically that's not "important," in the grand scheme, but it made *my* day better.

Three: This comic. *snicker ( Read more... )
