Posted on June 15th, 2011 – 1 CommentHmm….now where have I seen this bicycle before?

Oh yeah, now I remember: “Spontaneous act of art ordered removed from Dundas Street.” Maybe Mayor Ford isn’t trying to remove street art for the purpose of beautifying the city, perhaps he just wants it for his own living room?

Thanks for Councillor Mark Grimes for snapping that first photo, the Toronto Star for the second one, and to Rob Ford for providing the irony.
Home of the free, land of the nuts

CONTEST, CONTEST, CONTEST!!!
Posted on June 11th, 2011 – 5 CommentsA few weeks back Patrick and I went to the grand opening of the latest location of St. Louis on Yonge Street (528 Yonge St.). We both gushed over the food, enough to take some goofy pics of me making a huge mess of myself, as one does when eating BBQ ribs and yummy wings and whatnot, right? Right?
The management came over to investigate the camera flashes and giggling (Patrick’s, I swear! lol). When we confessed the truth about Patrick fave hobby, i.e. TorontoCityLife they were very excited for the free advertising (based on actually enjoyment of gooooood bar food, I swear!). They liked us so much that they offered up a pair of FREE DINNERS at their location!! So, we are sharing our excitement with you, the lovely followers of this site!!
We highly encourage you all to check out the new resto at: 528 Yonge St., Toronto, On. St. Louis Wings. Say ‘hi’ to my pals Stacey + Huda for us!!!
Patrick’s rules:
For you and a friend to scarf down some wicked wings + fries, all you have to do is to post the 3rd comment correctly answering this skill testing question:
Who did TCL proclaim as Toronto’s 2 HOTTEST COUNCILLORS??

umm… more allergies? possibly…
Posted on June 10th, 2011 – Comments Off on umm… more allergies? possibly…I have had this one burrito many, many times since i met my BF. It is usually Sooo Gooood and warm and juicy too. ” Yum yumm yummmm…”
You’d think it would always be that way, right?
Alas, it was not.: (
I have this burrito here, the rest of, i.e. MOST of it, because I THINK I AM ALLERGIC TO IT… : ( I don’t know why I am having a reaction to it this one time. Poor Ollie is DYING sink his teeth into it because it smells good and tastes better… I hate having to say NO to him but I must.
To this experience I say BOOO… :(
Just plain ol’ Boooo… :(
a day in the life…
Posted on June 9th, 2011 – Comments Off on a day in the life…Lately, I MUST admit I am a lucky gal, luckier than most. I have a solid bf, a loving and affectionate kitty cat, and a bag of pretzels at my side for my salt cravings…
Ok, that is that. I am INCREDIBLY tired lately. Have you other gals ever felt super sluggish and down because of it? The heat might be a factor, but… everything seems to be ‘feeling’ wrong in terms of my body. :( AND I have to take yet another needle today, tomorrow, and always.
I take great joy in the fact that my amazing guy will return later and we will hopefully have dinner together. :D
And YES, I am STILL at home. More mobile than 3 days ago but still at home… like a patient without patience.
Stay tuned cuz hopefully I’ll be walking around this city and dining out and sharing THAT with you instead of my moping.
<3
Uh oh

Chris Hume’s Worstest Buildings #1: Vision of a cocky coif
Posted on June 6th, 2011 – Comments Off on Chris Hume’s Worstest Buildings #1: Vision of a cocky coifSo for his most-hated pick for his “Toronto’s Worst Buildings” list, the Toronto Star’s Christopher Hume chose the soon-to-be-completed Trump Tower, the be-lidded one’s contribution to our skyline and, apparently, the upcoming record holder for the tallest eyesore, erm, building in Toronto.
According to The Don’s typical hyperbolic pronouncements, the staggeringly priced units (starting at just under $1 mill. and going as high as $20 mill.), are “superior” by virtue of the fixtures (your choice of faucets makes you a better person), and by the sheer height from which you can look / spit down on the common rabble from on high.
