Welcome, Winter

The winter is here. How do I know? This morning I woke up to a nice thick blanket of white over everything outside, with flakes still falling - really quite lovely actually. If that wasn't enough of a clue, the walk to work through slush and puddles might've reminded me what a Toronto winter looks like. And if THAT wasn't enough the walk home from the cinema with a frozen nose and an "extreme cold weather warning" on the radio would certainly do the trick. Yes, folks, it is winter in Toronto. Tonight it's going down to -15'C with the windchill. Oh how I've missed the windchill factor.

I saw JUNO again tonight, another free screening (went to accompany my brother who had an extra ticket) and another free t shirt - different style this time. The movie was just as good as the first time. I laughed a lot and oohed and awwed all the same. Definitely worth seeing... twice.


Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends and family. I had sushi tonight with my brother after the movie and though it wasn't as traditional as turkey, we enjoyed one of our favourite dishes in honour of our dual nation's holiday... hmm, does that even make sense? Anyway, you get the point.

I was reading my friend Nick's blog earlier this week (THE EAST COAST SOUND) and though I'd add on a list of some of the things I'm currently doing, as he did on one of his recent posts.

At the moment I am:
Reading - "Pattern Recognition" by William Gibson
Watching - Heroes, Survivor China, and re-runs of Fraser and Seinfeld
Listening to - Girls Aloud "The Sound of Girls Aloud"
Sleeping - Fairly well, though I really ought to try to get in before before 1am if I can... speaking of which, it's getting late.

G'night all.
