Weekend of AWESOME!~with Bri

So this is Part 2 of our EPIK ODYSSEY! except instead of one day it turned into a weekend. I swear I can't get enough of this girl. She's my BFF but she lives far away so when I get to see her I like to spend as much time with her as possible (of course keeping in mind she has other people she needs to see c: )

The morning was pretty tedious. I had to go to the eye doctor to check my eyes because I'm at high risk of getting Gloxcoma (sp) which is where I lose my peripheral vision, but so far I'm okay.
Then I went to the subway and to meet Bri and what happened was she misinterpreted my texts, so when I got to the meeting spot she left to go meet me at another station FAIL! haha.

After that we went to the Square to buy matching Swarovski necklaces. I bought hers for her birthday and they match and they're really cute! <3 Anyway after that we headed to ChinaTown to check this store for a wristband I wanted...but turns out they moved! HOW DEPRESSING! >3< so we took the Streetcar back to the Subway and headed out to P-Mall.

Now our reason for going to P-Mall was several. Shopping for Clothes, Photobooth Pictures, Food, and Anime Related stuff.
So the first thing we did was buy food cause we were pretty hungry. Went to the photobooth store to write down our frame numbers, then looked around literally the ENTIRE MALL for clothes. And I was quite put out because before I would walk into every store and wanted something...and now I couldn't find like one thing I wanted...so I was depressed. But Bri found something which made me happy :) Went into the Adult Store, then Anime shoppe to look at Figures, Posters and Wall Scrolls, then got our Photos taken which is SO CUTE! But she looks better than I do XP!

After that I called my dad cause we were done...and then kept browsing the mall some more. I was really shocked to find one of the stores, practically the only LEGIT store in the mall...selling a COPYRIGHTTED BAG made by an artist I follow on DA. Naturally I was upset so I took pictures...we were practicaly CHASED out of the store which was hysterical and then were picked up and went home.

Got my sleepover stuff and headed to Bri's place. Had some awesome cocktails and remenissed over Pictures. Watched XENA SEASON 1 - for the win! Made a video...ummm...didn't do that much. Ate yummy chinese dumpings and went to bed.

The house was empty Sunday so we ended up Swimming most of the day, had a little lunch, more Xena, more YouTube Videos (fail I love Justin Bieber videos), more swimming and then I went home.

It was a really tiring weekend but it was worth it by a long shot!

went on an EPIK ODYSSEY around Toronto!

Who would have thought that on a random Tuesday afternoon...in the span of like 4 hours...I'd run from one end of Toronto to the next...HOW FREAKING AWESOME IS THAT!?

So yesterday my girlfriend Brielle came down from Halifax to visit once a year like she always does. We had lunch together and then decided to hang out after I was finished work.

What was supposed to be an innocent afternoon turned into a little too much fun!

We started off at Eaton Centre Indigo cause I had just finished "Bite Me" by Christopher Moore so I had to pick up some new reading material for work. I picked up "Bloodsucking Fiends" also by Christopher Moore (I love his books they're amazing!) and I picked up "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Brielle told me it was good and frankly a lot of people have been reading it, it doesn't take a lot for me to say no to people's book recommendations.

So after that we headed down to Hairy T's to browse for Manga and what not. Chatted up with the owner and other employee for a bit. People are always so nice there :)

Then we headed to Church Street to hang out in The Village for a while. Picked up some Starbucks and headed to Bloor for the Subway. Got off at Bathurst and started looking for Beguiling and Labryinth. We spent a good 15-20 looking for Labryinth....(We went to the APPLE store earlier to look for a map and we found it...but were stupid enough not to take a picture of the map). So we ended up not finding Labryinth, but thanks to my awesome photographic memory skills and Brielle's awesome convincing, we ended up finding Beguiling which was right across the street from the Subway behind Honest Eds...go figure hahaha.

Brielle found her Manga there, I so far..didn't find anything. (I found a lot at Hairy T's but I had to resist!!!!)  So after we left we decided to head to ChinaTown to check out AnimeExtreme. Got on the subway, got off at Spadina and Street-Car-ed there and went inside. Thankfully we made it with 30 Minutes to spare and started browsing. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE HOW LIKE NONE OF THE STORES WERE AIRCONDITIONED! LIKE C'MON!

So we go in there..it's really hot...I find my yaoi! <3 YAY!!!! and the cutest most awesome Sebastian plush keychain ever! I should totally put a picture up! >3< and then...we had to leave.

So with Bri and her Yuri that she found at Hairy T's and Beguiling, my Yaoi from AnimeExtreme and my plush...we decided to walk to Dundas...get there at about 8PM and subway. She's reading her Yuri...I'm reading my Yaoi...we're just two of a pair.

Love you Bri <3 MWAH

Despicable Me - It's so...FLUFFY!!!!

"It's so FLUFFY!" - Rita.C Artist and University Student. Friend from High School.

I think it's pretty hard to decide between Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me as the biggest Summer Blockbuster - at least in my opinion.

There's nothing you can't love about Despicable Me, it's cute, it's funny and it'll keep you laughing throughout the entire film. For an old time villian who's said to have lost his 'evil' touch, it takes three little orphan girls to turn his life upside down. How do you go from evil genius to being a father? I mean to me that doesn't compute.

This movie can be closely related to "Annie" as one of the little girls in the film commented. Old bald guy adopting not one but three little girls...at first he seems sour but because of them his personality improvse.

So if you're not going to see it for the little girls and the evil genius - GO SEE IT FOR THE LITTLE MINIONS! They are so cute and will just have you laughing until you cry.

Note: Stay after the movie is over because there's a little extra movie clip with the minions in that's just plain hilarious.

The Toys are back for the last time - Toy Story 3

"It was a great movie that had great closure to the series." Phoebe.L member of KSSN dance group.

Toy story I think was a part of everyone's childhood...at least in my generation and the people born a few years after me. We grew up with Woody and Buzz and the entire Toy Chest cast. Then when Jessie and Bullseye joined the family only got bigger.

Finally, after waiting what was it? 11 years the Toy Story series finally comes to an end with Toy Story 3.

What can I say without giving the movie away? Toy Story is exactly what you expect of it. It's colourful, it's fun, and for my generation who's all grown up (like Andy) it just makes me feel young again.

Like Andy I had a bunch of toys I played with when I was little, but I could never bring myself to part from them. So many of my toys are just sitting in the basement or are sitting up on a shelf. Even though I haven't played with them in a long time I still remember the old days. Recently I took my stuffed animals out of the box they were in and washed them all. Of course I don't think I'll ever play with them again...but maybe one day I'll be able to give them to my kids.

Because really that's what the lesson in Toy Story 3 is. Loving them, taking care of them, and most importantly passing them on to the next generation to enjoy.

If you haven't seen Toy Story 3 yet it's definitely a MUST-SEE summer flick that will bring closure to the great series.
