Went to Toronto tonight.
This was the trip I thought I would be having all last year...

Went in for a friend's show.
Met another friend for coffee and random city wandering.
Had dinner in cafe with the friend who was doing the show - caught up, it was great. That friend is doing really well - busy with this show and Canada Council Grant next year - she is doing well!
The show was actually an exhibition - I made a new contact with one of the other artists at the show. Gave him a business card, maybe something cool with come of it.
Bus trip home - felt lame about leaving Toronto at 10:30 on a Friday night, but talked the entire ride home with 2 awesome ladies. Went for drinks in London with 2 awesome ladies. Gave out some business cards. As a result, I now have a new photographer friend in London, and a recording engineer in Toronto.

Anyway, before I left for the day, I had a viewing at a super awesome apartment. I showed pictures to my future roommate and we agree, we want it. Now we go ahead with securing the place, by any means necessary. The lowdown - it's beautiful, hardwood floors, right downtown, walk-in closet, all inclusive, air-conditioner included with remote control, keypad door entry, and a waiting room in the hallway for guests. Oh, wait... the kitchen appliances include - fridge, stove, dishwasher and... wait for it... a wine cooler. Oh ya, and the wood-burning stove adds a certain je ne sais comment dire que c'est le meilleur apartment dans le monde!!!...

ok, it's late and I work demain.
Bonne Nuit!

I love how you say 'awesome ladies.' Sounds kinda sketchy. Anyway, glad you found a nice walk-in closet, Mai would be jealous.

It was indeed very sketchy.
We started talking on the bus because the one 'lady' asked why the bus didn't have vomit bags - she was referring to the plastic garbage bags on greyhounds...
Also, the bars we went to for drinks were quite the sketch-houses... think the Woodbine...
