1. The University College Book Sale starts at noon today<\/a>. All impoverished but stalwart bibliophiles are invited, and remember that on day one it is free with student ID (even if said ID is expired, or borrowed from a buddy who went to U of T), or $3 for the plebes with no good hook-ups in the community of higher education.

2. I forgot to explicitly mention on Monday that once again, I *heart* Rome, even though hardly anyone else on my FL except is admitting to watching it. Last week featured a very pleasant bout of “weaving”, which I think was supposed to be some sort of pun on the intertwining of limbs. Hot young-girl-on-much-older-woman action: risque, and a nice twist on the usual plot development of illicit affairs. Also a brief but sensual self-touching scene. This is a TV show that is not afraid to get sexy. <\/p>\n

3. I bought my sun-sensitive paints. And no, that does not mean that I have given up on the dream of the sheep.

4. I am beginning to doubt my sincerity about giving a proper review of my meal at Susur, as I keep leaving my notes at home. One thing, though: on the non-chocolate sampler dessert plate, Mr. Susur Lee had made a “green tea creme brulee”, which sounds appetizing enough but was actually a doppleganger for the taste (but thankfully not the colour or consistency) of the little green shamrock-shaped marshmallows you get in Lucky Charms. I doubt our madly piratical-looking gourmand (see below) has ever eaten Lucky Charms in his life, so he may be unaware of his flavour faux-pas. Seriously, though. One does not pay literally hundreds of dollars for a five-course meal that concludes with a dish in any way resembling freeze-dried sugar pucks.

5. Lost: one gigantic collection of beads and beading paraphernalia, including several pairs of needle-nose pliers, hooks, clasps, chains and gazillions of costly flameworked glass beads. Last seen in my old apartment on Spadina before I moved to Weston almost two years ago. Baby come back to mama. I miss you. If anyone has any leads whatsoever of the whereabouts of said bead collection, kisses and prizes will be rained down upon you. (, … is it possible I left them in the house somewhere, like the storage closet by the bathroom???) I can’t believe I lost such a massive and well-organized collection of beads in the move. I just have NO CLUE where they are. Did I give them away to someone and forget about it? It used to live in these silver Ikea tins, and now… I really want to know where it all went.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
