actual thought process

It's patio weather! But I still need to work. Maybe I can go work on a patio somewhere. Hmmm... the green room? Too busy. Hmmm... hey! Reposado! The tequila bar right next door! They have a great patio, and they also have great margaritas. And I bet it's quiet in there now... Wait... Do tequila bars have free wireless internet? Are tequila bars even open at 3PM on a Tuesday? Am I an alcoholic, or did I just invent an amazing business model?

a 365-day fringe festival

From the Star, "A 365-Day Fringe Festival"

"In 2006, before it was the Lower Ossington Theatre, we were rehearsing in the building," says Galpern. "We arrived to find a padlock on the door, so we sought out the landlord and worked out a deal – that was the beginning of the LOT."

go hotpants

So Ossington FC went from first place to third place very quickly in two weeks, but at least yesterday we won our last game - despite starting the game with five players on the hottest evening yet. I sort of blame the lucky hotpants Michael found me in Studio A for our outrageous win.

We still have a whole summer season to try and capture first again, but this time as the more aptly named OFC Cobra Kai.

oh, smashy

Yesterday, I was composing a list of reasons why bike riding is so much better than taking the subway when I crashed my bike into a gas station.

Reasons Why Bike Riding is So Much Better Than Taking the Subway
1. It is cheaper than taking the subway (as long as your bike doesn't get stolen)
2. You get to exercise! (and get to work all sweaty, delighting co-workers with new scents and classiness)
3. You get to enjoy the fresh air (if you consider Harbord between St. George and Ossington particularly fresh).

Yes, there are 8 million things to do. And no, the season wasn't perfect - we had our fair share of minor disasters. But - today was the last performance of the year. And I might have calculated it out, and that's around a thousand yellow school buses greeted at Hart House and ushered into the theatre over the last eight months. I love working for a company that basically does the impossible every day.

ingredients: long weekend

So you don't have a patio. Or a backyard. Or a barbecue. What you do have is a brand new, family-sized George Foreman grill, and way too much food for the four people in your apartment. Grill everything. Potatoes. Vegetables. Meats of three different animals. Your roommate's peaches. After years of not being capable of cooking anything, suddenly, you can cook anything! In like, 3 minutes.

Your friends are secretly Trekkies. Take them to the new Star Trek movie. Have them explain all ten seasons of TNG and describe every previous movie. Still think Star Trek is kind of stupid.

Take a $500 bike for a test ride and break it. Return to the Trek store, awkwardly.

Rollerblade to the beach! Picnic. Snuggle.

At least two very good cappuccinos.

hells yes! ossington FC!

Yay! Ossington FC has our first game Monday night, 7PM at Central Tech. Can't. Effing. Wait.
