I took this today while standing outside of Salad King waiting for them to open. This school year I've usually eaten there for lunch every Monday. They have the best vegetarian bangkok stir fry and crispy golden tofu curry in the history of EVER. I will be going through withdrawls once I am in New Zealand for sure.
I took this last summer in Kitchener. Its absolutely disgusting and ugly outside today.
In 30 days, that is. Thirty days until my temporary relocation to New Zealand. I can't believe it!
This was taken on my way back from Las Vegas last November, where I had my huge birthday bash. Desert sunsets there were so pretty. I miss Vegas, and Nevada in general and I hope to get to go back next year.
To commemorate me teaching the most awesome yoga class ever, here is a pic of my doing one of my favourite poses in Hawaii. Its called rabbit pose, or Sasangasana.
I nabbed a better picture on the way home from school today.
Then I ran into Josh's cousin, who sat in my lap and proceeded to introduce himself to me. I was laughing so hard and people were staring at us like we were crazy. Love it.
Toronto, as seen on the streetcar on my way home from school. I had another pic without the tree and street car stop in it, but I kinda like how this one turned out better.
Some fresh Hawaiian Plumeria on this early Easter Sunday.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
If someone would like to tell me how the hell I got this bruise, I'd appreciate it. This came from out of nowhere!
For the past three days, my cat has done nothing but obsessively played with my nail file. I have no idea why. I cut his nails two weeks ago so its not like they're long. I finally got ticked enough at him today to take it away from him and I got the dirtiest look ever. He's now keeping busy with my iPod... grrrrr.....
I forgot to put this in... but New Zealand immigration has a newfound respect from me. I sent my passport there so I could get my work permit and it was processed within five days! I had it back to me nine days after I sent it, after getting told it would take about a month to process.
I was floored. Even when I do my immigration stuff with Canada it always takes them four to six weeks.
Anyway, my paperwork is done, my visa is here, and I am all set to leave April 29th! That's in 39 days!
Lately I have been so damn busy with school and stuff I can't even remember my own name. However, this week is now over, I've only two more papers to write (both due in April) and I have handed in all my paperwork regarding my work/study in New Zealand over the summer. That is wicked awesome.
Taken over my three hour break.

I miss my girls. I will see them soon though. Damn school for sucking the social life out of me.
I don't see why people celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Irish pride is great and all, but St. Patrick brough Christianity to Ireland at the expense of killing hundreds of thousands of Pagans... that's not very Jesus like, eh? This merits celebration? I can think of a million other great excuses to get together and drink besides celebrating people killing people.
You don't see people celebrating the day Hitler died.
Just sayin'.
The beams and bars they put up on the Bloor Viaduct to jumper prof it. The sun is just starting to go down. I love this picture.
That particular bridge (the Bloor Viaduct) used to be quite popular with suicide jumpers until they suicide proofed it. The signs and telephones remain at either ends of the bridge, however, as reminders. Now people go jump a few km up the road off another bridge, into a river/six lane highway below.
So 3.14 it is.
Tonight my friend Tina came down and we had a nice dinner at my favourite Greek restaurant and then went for a walk along the Danforth. We ended up walking all the way to the Bloor Viaduct, which is a huge bridge which connects the east end of Toronto with downtown and the west end. It was sunset so I started snapping. This is the view across the Don River Valley, looking at downtown, and the Don River. Below is a huge ravine, the river, and a six lane highway. People used to use that bridge to jump to their deaths, but it has since been suicide proofed.
Although its warming up a little bit (+1C today... oooh) I'm still wishing I was back in Hawaii with my community. I did, however get to teach yoga today and play for awhile! So that was cool. Now I get to look forward to a weekend of writing two papers and studying for another miderm. However, in four weeks, I am done!
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
This just cracks me up.
I'm quite sick right now so I've been lazing around. I'm also snowed in my apartment. Goodie.
So I am thinking of warmer times back in Hawaii, as usual. We're due for 36 hours of snow.
This is a pic of Roy, a guy I met at the retreat I stayed at in Hawaii. This is quite possibly the best picture I have taken, ever.
Near Kona, Big Island, Hawaii.
Its cold again today, with 15 more inches of snow overnight. Shoot me.
They installed LEDs on the CN tower downtown and they give off nightly light shows. Tonight it was a patriotic white and red.
This is to symbolize all the pitchers of beer we had this week.
I was trying to grab on to Adam's "grandma tits" in this picture and it looks like I gave myself moosears instead. oops.
God bless aperature settings and drunk camera handling.
My friend Adam is in town from New Brunswick this week. This means a lot of beer will be had.
I sent my application for a work permit to the NZ Consulate in Ottawa today. That makes me uber excited :D
