This morning the snow wasn't falling so much as swimming in the atmosphere; the flakes twisting and turning, jumping and looping around each other. It was so pretty to walk through. And of course I'd laugh to myself when I a cluster of them would land either on the lense of my glasses, up my nostrils, or in my eyeball. People would pass and smile at me. I wasn't sure why. But receiving smiles is always wonderful. (Still, I checked my fly just in case.)
This afternoon I ended up chatting with a vintage jewelry shop owner and a patron for 2.5 hours - about everything from sex to racism to the culture in Montreal vs. Toronto. It was very candid. Perhaps it was so because we were all strangers. Or perhaps we really were all likeminded, despite our age ranges and cultural backgrounds and experiences. It was a wonderful chat, I truly appreciated their company. Gave me good motivation and ideas - inspiration - to get more personal writing done. My brain was working those ideas for the rest of the day.
I dropped by Second Nature to look for jeans. Tried on some 7's, Citizens and Rock & Republic, but nothing fit right. I thought to browse the dresses since I'll need an outfit for The Juno's. I found a couple dark numbers, but then a beautiful yellow bodice-type number caught my eye. It was an Andrew Mark New York dress with pink lining on the inside... And it was a size 6 ... and it fit perfectly... and it was HALF OFF. Cha-CHING!! Also picked up a vintage Chinese silk clutch in Royal Blue. Everyone in the shop stopped and watched as I checked myself out in the mirror. I felt I had to do it quick. It was weird how they were all looking.
Visited The Culinarium on Mt. Pleasant and bought a bunch of local food (pear puree, ground beef, chicken pot pie, dark chocolate covered cranberries and portobello/tomato pasta sauce. I'm not huge on 'Organic' living, but my brother gave me a $30 gift certificate to th eplace as part of my Xmas pressie, so I thought to spend it. Surprisingly, it carried me pretty far despite the pricey fare.
I finally watched Ghost for the first time. I was really surprised it was good. And I had no idea Whoopi Goldberg was in it either. (I'm not a hgue Demi Moore fan.)
Did my taxes! Gonna get a return. Wee!! Looking forward to that.
Rawkin to the Raconteurs. Level. Oh yeah...
