good stuff
it's friday, i'm in a sweet mood made all the sweeter by the fact that it goes above and beyond the usual 'thank god it's friday' giddiness. i've had a couple really great days and am feelin' groovy in a simon and garfunkel kind of way.
going back, wed. was pretty great because i had dinner with my darling brother and his girlfriend (one of my summerlicious places, details to follow) and had a really good time. we talked about a lot of relationship-y stuff, had a good meal, moseyed back to his place for a little downtime and made attempt #14 at the papyrus exchange. my brother is growing a PAPYRUS plant, how cool is that? dude, we could make our own paper!! in about 40 years, but still! so he's giving me a piece of that and i'm very stoked. i digress.
thurs. evening was absolutely fabulous. my girlfriend picked me up after work, and boy did she ever pick me up! she happened to be sitting behind my building in a brand new, souped up, totally sweet, i-don't-even-like-cars-and-i-am-in-love-with-this-car mustang convertible. hooo yeah. it was the most perfect day for driving around in a convertible; really hot and sunny, but with a bit of a breeze. so we drove up to yorkville (very swanky shopping area in toronto) and did some shopping. i bought a wicked shoulder bag that i might be obsessed with. it's the perfect size, awesome striped canvas, and has one small flaw--the logo stitched on one side is a bit obnoxious so i plan to get an emily the strange patch and cover that up. then the bag will kick even MORE ass, if possible. wheeee!
so after the shopping, said friend and i had our summerlicious dinner at flow (again, details to follow) and it was excellent. steak is always good in my book/stomach. after dinner we cruised around in the 'stang with the tunes cranked (phoenix) and went to my house to smoke a jay. we saw the CRAZIEST show: Master of Champions. it would take too long to describe the insanity, so just look into it. trust me, it's hilarious.
cap it all off with today being friday and a boss-sanctioned slack off day at work, and life is great. i met up with my brother for attempt # 47 to get the papyrus plant--thankfully, i was successful. it's doing its thing on my desk as i write this. then i came back to work just in time to upload a few more cd's onto my ipod before me, 2 co-workers and our boss headed out for lunch. we tried to get some dim sum but were thwarted. seems the secret's out about new treasure. dammit. we hit a little chinese place instead and it was good. then we did some shopping on the way back to work (more new cd's for me, yay! my ipod is getting pretty full.
