more later

i’ll fill this up after lunch. i’ve things to say, but i’m starved and woozy.
okay, that’s much better. of course, now i’m stuffed and sleepy, but i suppose that’s the better of two evils, right?
so, i got home from an atypically long and tedious monday at work, totally by-passing the post-work errands i meant to run before i went back to the apartment i’m not quite used to yet, because i was über-bloated from the fourteen pounds of brussel sprouts i ate at lunch and i didn’t think subjecting the world to my de-bloating was a very kind thing to do.
this is where it gets weird.
after deflating a bit, i remembered the photos i had to pick up at London Drugs needed to make up the last of mom’s birthday gifts. i’ve not spent a lot of time investigating the neighbourhood, so i decided to forgo my desire to return to the new Whole Foods Market and just walk up to LD to pick up my prints.
me! walk! to the drug store! voluntarily!
i laced up my Sauconys, shrugged on my hoodie and set out. yeah, okay, so the store is only three blocks from my apartment. stop looking at me like that. you really have to realize that for, um, most of my life i didn’t live within walking distance of most anything. then, when i finally did, the entire slothgirl personna had totally taken over and, hey, i had a bus pass or a shiny new Geo Metro to take me places, didn’t i?
this is where it gets interesting.
on the way back from the store with the prints, the shampoo, the popcorn and the energy snacks for the maternal unit, i walked down Lonsdale instead of the back lanes i’d used on the way up. i counted the following eating establishments on my way:
2 japanese/sushi
2 pizza
2 coffee/gelato
1 greek
1 chinese
1 mexican
1 wrap zone
1 bistro/bakery
1 restaurant/bar
that’s just in the three blocks north of my street, and i’m sure i’ve either forgotten or missed some. holy crap! it’s a really good thing i’m poor and don’t go out to eat much, but it’ll be really handy if i ever: a) get a social life which includes having people over at meal time and nothing in the fridge; b) a social life which includes spending all my time in bed with some warm, sexy, stubbly boy and sending him out to fetch life-giving sustenance to replenish our strenuous lovemaking; or, c) get a better paying job.
tonight is school. i’m really looking forward to it.
