weekend

let's see...

Bradley came over on Friday night. Afterwards we watched Singles - which I had never seen (and wouldn't necessarily recommend).
On Saturday we did laundry and then went out for Korean food. That evening we went over to D&J's and played Yahtzee.
On Sunday we went to L&L's for brunch/an elders' meeting. Afterwards we walked through Kensington (there was a brief period where the rain actually stopped). Pedestrian Sunday = lots of weirdness in the market. We went to No Frill's for some groceries. And that evening we skipped church and Jen came over for dinner.

This morning is actually sunny. Also, it looks like the big garbage strike might actually be coming to an end.

weekend



Friday - there was a show at the Woods' house. I was tired but it was fun.
Saturday - we had breakfast with D&J at Billy's, which is always good. Afterwards we walked to the Annex with Jen. I got my hair cut by an old barber - I can understand about 25% of what he says to me while he is cutting my hair. We ended up at BMV, where I bought a book and Leah bought a CD. On the way back we walked past the temporary garbage dump at Christie Pitts Park. It is getting gross in this city.
Our upstairs neighbour was rebagging the garbage behind our house when we got home. Critters have been getting into stuff and it was getting nasty.
Sunday - Leah went to play music at our first morning church service. After helping carry her gear to StStephens, I walked into the market. Sunday morning coffee on a patio is way better than church...
When we got home, I watched Slacker. I have been meaning to watch this for years - and it did not disappoint. I have a high Linklater (excessive rambling dialogue) tolerance - and this is now maybe my 2nd fave movie of his (next to Before Sunrise). It sort of made me want to move somewhere a little more sprawling and a little slower paced.
Church was pretty good, and afterwards we went to Rancho Relaxo with the Woods.

It still isn't summer in Toronto - and I'm beginning to think we're just not getting one this year.

long weekend

Not really a long weekend, just one that had a lot of stuff crammed into it.

Friday evening was the wedding rehearsal for K&T's wedding. Leah was playing bass, and I was running sound. On the way home I went tie shopping - it is weird spending money on a piece of clothe to purposefully wrap uncomfortably tightly around one's neck.
We were back at the wedding in the morning. Afterwards, we went home and hung out with P&B, who were spending the night at our house. P and I managed to back a giant van into the neighbours' fence, and then we all headed off to the reception. It was insane.
In the morning, our guests took off after breakfast. Having them stay with us was wonderful - probably my favorite part of the whole wedding weekend!
I walked to the hardware/lumber store and bought a few fence boards! And then we went to church. Leah was playing music and I ended up as the last-minute (literally) sound guy. It is almost fun (but still work) when everything ends up sounding good - and it sounded great! Also, I get to turn it up as loud as I want to.
T.C. was preaching! and it was pretty much everything you might expect. In a good way.

After church we went home and made dinner. Also, I fixed a fence.

weekend

Since I worked last Wednesday (Canada Day), I had Friday off instead, as well as Thursday afternoon.
Leah and I borrowed a car from some generous friends, and drove to a bed and breakfast outside of Orangeville for a couple of nights. It was great (necessery) to get out of town for a little while. We spent a day getting lost at the Elora gorge, and also stopped by Guelph on the way home on Saturday.
Yesterday we went grocery shopping in Kensington, and did some laundry. After church we went to D&J's for dinner.

Toronto is burying itself in garbage.
