in an effort to bring myself nearer to the surface of my pool of solitude i have begun a half-assed "let's get out there and mingle!" campaign. i have made plans for lunch this friday with some lovely folk that i used to work with, i have plans for a picnic lunch the following saturday with another group of lovely people that i used to work with (how fun! a picnic in a park - i'm oddly very very excited about this) and i went out with a dear dear friend this afternoon/evening.
we made the best of the soaring humidex by choosing to wander queen west and pop into places in order to take of their air conditioning and the occasional beer (i'm basically only a guinness gurl - but shanghai cowgirl had a lovely dark irony stout with an oh-so-delectable creamy head). we walked to the site of a former store (RIP oracle) that had a big impact on both of our lives (waves to imajica) and shared stories of what first pointed our feet to its door. then, with tummies rumbling we stopped at the korean bistro ho su - nothing like the fire of kimchee - i could eat gallons of it!
speaking of love, the joys of healthy disfunction (and the ache of equally unhealthy disfunction) and sex we passed several lovely hours. after walking him back to his spadina home, i stopped off in china town and stocked my fridge. gotta love china town - where else could i pick up a giant bag full of blood red cherries, crisp green grapes, plump red and green peppers, asian eggplants, ginger and onions for less than $6.50.
now i'm sitting in front of a giant fan and watching the new show rock star : inxs. i lost my mind over inxs growing up (michael hutchence still has to remain one of the sexiest people to have ever walked this planet) and have many inxs-themed teenage memories with michelle, tammy, tony, lyle and scott (hello, where ever you all are!) there are a few toronto singers competing. one of whom i hope will stick around a bit - she used to front a band i liked named joydrop. this show could be pretty interesting - 15 singers having to live in a house together, egos ahoy... heehee.... i'd like to see the show with 15 guitarists living together - the cooler that thou vibe would probably end up in a cage match to the death.
damn - just read that inxs has just signed a deal with my old company... damn. i could of had cool inxs stories to go with my cool duran duran stories ("is the studio nice enough for duran duran to be in?")

oh no - i may already be busy that night.... :-( i'll send you an email to explain....
O.k let me start by saying that any girl who loves Guinness is a girl i love ! Most women are far to squeamish to pound down a voluptuous ,hearty stout, so a Viking salute to you Jodi !!
secondly , I'm not to manly to admit I loved INXS too, and Duran Duran , holy shiiat that crap ROCKS !! Now listen closely ..do yourself a favor and skip that Scientologist squirrel bates movie, unless you plan on taking sewing needles and jabbing out your eyes first. Spend that money on a video of "SPANGLISH" ........O.K O.K i'm kidding that movie was so many kinds of terrible i don't have a word for it. Just go buy some more Guinness for goodness sakes, and watch "Blow-Out " on Cable sure it sucks too but who cares you'll be drunk by then.
spanglish! eek! glad you're just joking... the adverts for that thing alone scared me good and proper!
