blackout

so my loft was hit by that blackout covering gerrard to lakeshore and church to don valley. the power just came back on at around 5:30 am today... so let's see it was out for aprox. 21 hours! i survived but the cold can of chef-boy-ardee didn't... it's surprising how it tastes the same cold as it does hot... unlike french fries, lettuce or chicken which really taste different according to its temperature! so what could i do without my radio, tv, or computer??? well naturally i went to the mall and shopped... pretty good excuse i'd say! some decent sales out there right now... jacob and rw&co are really worth checking out fellow shoppaholics. i also bought a lighter from the esso by my place cuz i'd be needing to light some candles when i got home... but that wouldn't be till after the movie...

i went to the outdoor movie at dundas square... the sound of music was playing. it was kinda magical... everyone out there enjoying the night air... a few spectators dancing... and a few more singing (me and my friends included! hehe). it was a treat! you know that song "i am sixteen going on seventeen"... listen to the lyrics... they are kinda out of date with current social views i'd say! haha "i need someone older and wiser telling me what to do"..."you belong TO me"... it's all very posessive! hahaha! anyways, they were a reflection of the times back then... when even 16 year old girls named Lisel were innocent. and another thing i noticed... i used to think that the baroness was a horrible woman but for some reason when i watched it this time... i understood her... why she did what she did... and realized she wasn't so horrible after all... she was looking for love in a circumstance that turned impossible, i mean look at her competition... MARIA, the picture of perfection! who can top perfection?

so yeah... i had some fun with my candles and tea lights when i got home... i didn't know how to use the lighter though... it hurt my thumb :O( my brother got it working on the first try! pyro!

so it was kinda pretty in my loft last night with all the candles... i wish i had someone besides my brother (or other blood relatives) to share it with hahaha.
