toroki, I DO have good taste. Also, YES THE CROSSWALK AT YOUNGE AND DUNDAS IN TORONTO CHIPS ONE WAY AND BEEPS THE OTHER. I AM NOT DELUSIONAL.
Also, the Lord of the Rings show? REALLY GOOD. Like, better than I would have anticipated. Really. The set was insane. It was a series of raised platforms that could move individually and bring people to different levels. The choreography was quite amazing, and the battles were WHOA. Galadriel, despite my doubts when I first saw her photo, was actually pretty decent. The hobbits were fat, and that made sense. They also had sensible semi-Scottish accents. The black riders were amazingly puppeteered, as was that FREAKING HORRID SPIDER THING. Wow, omg, that was actually very creepy.
Also, coulda definitely done without ALL THE FREAKING SCHOOLCHILDREN TALKING NONSTOP DURING THE SHOW. Ushers were about as fed up as I was. Ugh. That's what you get for going to a matinee, I guess. Eah well. We all enjoyed ourselves a lot.
We also went and ate at a place called the Pickle Barrel. The service was kinda blah, but the sandwiches were pretty decent. Interesting retro design to the place, too; ice cube hanging lights. Huh.
Then on the way back, this dude was talking VERY LOUDLY on his phone. The monologue went something along the lines of, "--those cocksucking motherfuckers in washington; BUSH CAN SUCK MY D--" blahblahblah. Yeahokay. It's nice to have your own opinions, but there were YOUNG PEOPLE on the street; could we not be so loud and freaking rude? Oi.
So now my sis and I are chillin' in the room, and we're watching this AFI 100-most inspiring movies thing and Endy's egging me into some character design contest I'm sure I can't really do but might do anyway just because it'll be interesting.
Also, I love postcards.
