Hi guys today I had to go to a place where book learnin’ happens so I could get some books to lift quotes from for my Art History essay.

Yeah it’s due Thursday.

No I have not really started it yet. I mean I have but I still have a lot of writing to do.

Anyways books are awesome and FREE BOOKS are even more awesome.

Except I had to pay $10.90 for some books I took out two years ago about how to deal with death when really I should have checked out books on ten ways to tell if someone is lying to you. (Yeah I just went there.)

Then I had to come home and make our place semi-presentable so the landlord could show it off.

But on the way I stopped by T&T again and this handsome devil met me on the way there. So I apologize but here are some pictures of things we missed on the first visit.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

I enjoy that the Western Biscuit is next to the Prepared Beancurd.

Remember when I called it the Pocky aisle? It is for reals the Pocky aisle. Maine bought the Tomato Pretz and they were delicious.

Hey guys remember when I went to journalism school and I wanted to be a sports lady but then I realized they only let hot girls do sports and also that I didn’t really care about the news so much or other sports and also that my interest in the Canucks fell significantly post-Steve? I mean I still watch hockey but I no longer obsess about it. Which is good.

Then one time I got go to on a tour of the CBC and it was kinda cool I guess. I met some Radio 3 folk (do they still exist?) and also IAN HANOMANSING and I watched a lady do the radio news and if I could remember her name I bet you I would be a journalist now.

I am pretty in love with this fire escape.

WE ARE A PEACEFUL NATION.

Oh on the way to the library (do you enjoy how I cannot think in linear terms?) I saw all these sweet things on the wall and I think they maybe were commissioned or something, so I do not know if it is really real graffiti but here you go anyways.

OH one last thing (I hope you made it this far), Maine watches this show sometimes and it is ok but it has this music in it that makes my head hurt, anyways long story short, tonight he was watching it and a thing happened and I looked up and said “Hey when did this get awesome?” and this was it:

This morning we woke up for no reason at 6 am. WHY? Already Maine is playing some shooting game and it is loud and I don’t like it.

Maine shaved off his gross mustache. I am both happy and sad about it.
Anyways I wanted to tell you that someone combined two things that I love, and it resulted in this:

So for my Art History class we have to do a thing where we review a show at a gallery and then compare one piece to some others and blab about it a lot. So I went to the Monsters and Robots show at the Ayden gallery.

I had to convince the guy to let me take pictures just so I could write about it (so I did not have to rely on my shady memory), which is kind of silly because I found pictures on the internet, so clearly they already let people take pictures, but whatever. I don’t want them getting mad at me for posting them so how about you just Google ‘em.

After we arted, we went to T&T which is super exciting for me for many reasons.

First of all I do not even know where else you can get marinated pig’s ear or black fungus.

Even better you can get marinated mystery food!

They also have an amazing selection of rice cookers. I am certain some of these are more advanced than my computer machine.

Maine found panda cookies so I had to buy them right away.

He admired some cakes but we did not buy any.

We thought about buying these cause of the cute guy on the front but when we figured out it was dried spicy beans the interest wore off.

I had to admire the Pocky aisle. I liked it when they had Pocky for Men and I would buy it just to be like HA HA POCKY YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!

Actually there were a lot of snack foods we considered but then decided not to buy. We are trying to be responsible. This was spicy chicken flavoured seaweed.

Yeah, I don’t get it either.

Look he’s like a proud new father!

He really wanted to buy it but it was like a $13 slab of meat and I am pretty sure it is more meat than we ever need to own.

This terrifies me more than you’ll ever know.

Oh also at Wild Ginger they have a special for all you can drink if you order dinner but I am not sure it is a great deal.

Cause they also have $3 beer so you would have to drink at least 12 if you are a lady for it to be worthwhile to get the all you can drink.

Last night we went to go see 2012 (note: this is not the actual trailer, in case you are as gullible as I am… but this is much better) and I am reading through reviews now wondering if anyone else noticed about 2/3 of the way in they ran out of money and had to borrow cameras from Scenes of Newfoundland?

I went with Maine, Steph and Keli and had a gleefully disastertastic time. But I think probably they could have saved money by not having Woody Harrelson in it. I mean he was fantastic, but really we have lots of crazy people here who could have filled the role and then maybe they could have stretched the budget out a bit longer.

Ah well. If you’re into nearly three hours of “Oh. My. God.” and “Seriously?” you should definitely see it.
