equal amounts Coca-Cola and shitty shiraz

So, tomorrow I move, and it's the first time I've lived anywhere where the lease is in my name, like a proper grown person. It's kind of a big deal. I am celebrating with a bottle of shiraz that I suspect has been corked, but I'm not a wine expert and am drinking it anyway. Drinking it suspiciously, anyway. The wine tastes so suspicious that I refuse to mix it with my little glass bottle of Coca-Cola, which was originally the plan for the patio. Best not to taint the glass bottle cola. Mmmff!

The only downside of the new place is that it doesn't have a big patio with trees and downtown in the distant background. I will instead have a window with a view of downtown in the immediate foreground and a ficus in front of that window.



The new apartment will have an equal amount of Coca-Cola and shitty shiraz.

The new place is also slightly closer to work (maybe, I haven't done the requisite TTC experiment yet) which is good because, as some of you might have noticed, I have become a slight workaholic. I'm one of those people who just ramble on about work after work like there's no tomorrow. I'm sorry. I like it and it's on my mind and I want to do good.

There's also a boy, which is nice. And it's actually nice because this particular boy says adorable things like you look like a fashion model and let's watch the X-Files and then make out and also he packs me lunches and has green eyes and a beard. I like all of those things. Especially beards.

And, um, in the interest of being topical, I leave you with "Rod's Dilemma," a musical number by the cast of the best thing I've ever seen, Avenue Q, which Easy managed to score 3rd row centre tickets for. Avenue Q was outstanding. But it's over now, suckers. My Toronto theatre reccomendation for next week is Soulpepper's The Real Inspector Hound. It's only my third favourite play ever written.

Yay, new place with your very own name on your very own lease! Congratulations!

I hope your next packed lunch contains a sandwich made with extra-spicy salami, and artichoke tapenade.
