Low on the Go!

fantastical friday.

Well, yesterday was some SUPER fun times ^_^

So, lets do a photoblog day. Special thanks to Mr. Robinson and Miss. Jasoomani for being oh so wonderful photographers.

The evening started off with Pri, Jasmine, Aban and Joshua Robinson coming over for a potluck dinner. mmm. we were going to eat on the roof, but alas it was pretty stinking hot outside. So we crammed into my little solarium. It was a pretty tight fit, and without tables there was some spillage. But definitely too much fun. MMMM...samosas. MMM..salad (btw, joshua robinson..i bought a pear guava vinaigrette today...its FANTABULOUS. you'll have to try it. i think it even beats your orange sesame dressing). Mmm. cream thingies. i think they were called Malai or something?

Quote of the night: "umm so what are these things?"

"err, they're made out of cream...they're called malai"

"they taste familiar, what are they?"

"malai."

"so what are they"

"malai! i already told you this."

haha. good times. i googled it. here you go joshua robinson...now you can know what they are.

From my house, we headed out to go to the Beaches Jazz Festival. Our trip there included forgetting to get transfers and having to go to King Station to get transfers and then BACK to Queen station. It also included me discovering that i am too short to hold on to the top handle bars on the TTC. And it also included me being able to understand Chinese and not English..and Pri being able to understand English (though she thinks it was Chinese). It also included waiting for the stinking streetcar for a massively long time.

Here's us waiting for the streetcar.

Here we are...still waiting....

FINALLY!!

While we were on the streetcar, a woman from Paris asked me for directions...which led into a conversation where i had the chance to practice my french skills! WOOT.


We finally got there...


And listened to some AMAZING musicians...

Walked around for a bit..





At which point...Aban and i decided to get a bit lost and venture into a WONDERFUL LAND. a MAGICAL land. a land of VESPAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We caught back up with the group...and listened to some fabulous spanish guys....hahah, we also watched a corpulent man with a native headdress dance around in front of the spanish people....

But the sad part, was saying goodbye to Aban, Pri and Jasmine.

They missed by far, the BEST set of the night.... Dr. Draw..

During the first set, we bumped into Joshua Robinson's sister, her husband and daughter. His niece was SUCH a tease. She would walk up to me..as though she wanted to sit on my lap..and then stumble back to Joshua Robinson's lap. She did this multiple times...but finally braved the unchartered territory (otherwise known as lydia's lap) and plopped right down into my lap as Dr. Draw's first set ended.

We loved Dr. Draw...and watched him for two sets!!! In between the two sets we made it down to the beach, stood on some rocks and looked at the stars--it was the first time i had seen stars in Toronto!!!


We left after his second set (last show of the night), headed back to my place where Joshua proceeded to attempt to read my French Bible. haha, it was good times.

So, all round...fantastic times. Aban, Pri and Jasmine, i wish you guys could've stayed longer.

but we definitely need to make more dates like this. Aban...vespa-age must happen. Pri, we must play DDR when J gets back. Joshua, some jammage must happen sometime soon.

okay, that took me a TREMENDOUSLY long time. so i'm going to go eat dinner now and start studying. BAM!

Sorry...the layout of pictures and explanations is pretty wonky, and i'm too tired to figure out the html.

so you'll have to deal. i know you will.

love muchly!
