Kung-Fu Kitty

Yes, I do realize that I haven't written in quite some time, but one must understand that I've been away. I left, on Monday, January 2nd, for Toronto. Etienne and I took the bus the whole way, which ended up being shorter than it could have been, but still long. I think we spent 9 hours on the bus in total, but I could be wrong. Anywho, we met up with Jeremy, after a long and confusing subway ride, at Yorkdale and promptly went to his uncles and to sleep (after the required TV watching, of course). The next day, we visited the Kabbalah Centre, as well as various used book, comic and fetishwear shops, stopping for felafel at our favourite shop, Syriandipity. Then, on Wednesday, we went to the Pacific Mall and bought all sorts of Asian foodstuff. That evening, we went to dinner with my Savta, which was also much fun, and left that night for Windsor. Etienne and Jeremy shared the driving, and I slept in the back.

We visited downtown Windsor the next day, first parking at the Casino Windsor and exploring that fine establishment a little bit. We didn't gamble. It was too terrifying in there. Then, we saw some of the book shops and other stores, and had sushi for mid-afternoon meal where I got to try eel for the first time. We also visited a church. It had a pretty ceiling. Friday, we went to the mall which was like most other mall, except for perhaps a little bigger than that one around here. We had some yummy popcorn and some yummy smoothies. That evening, we had take-out chinese food. Saturday, unfortunately, was our last day in Windsor. We had a Dim Sum and that was an interesting cultural experience. Again, I tried some new foods, including tripe (the stomach lining of a cow), squid, and lots of shrimp things. I guess I like shrimp now, as I didn't really before. We then visited Jeremy's university and that was interesting too. For dinner, we went to an Ethiopian restaurant which was rather delicious. Then, at 1:40am that night, we took the bus back home, only arriving at 5:30pm on Sunday afternoon. Needless to say, we were exhausted.

I had a day to recover before school started again, which it did yesterday. I had my two math classes, in which both teachers took the whole class to get started on the course material. I also sat in on my dad's composition class, which I enjoyed, but it seems that all my friends taking the course now think that my dad's insane. I went to choir, but I have the feeling that I won't be joining this year as the repertoire is rather lame. That evening, we had our first band practice in a while, and I really enjoyed playing again. Anywho, I must shower because I have class soon!
