A Skewed View

Today was probably one of the most interesting days I've had since moving to T.O. I was working Test the Nation at CBC (actually working - paid and everything - whoo!), which meant meeting a whole wide range of people. My job was to shuttle groups of people up to the studio in the elevator. We tried to shuttle groups as a whole so everyone could stay together, but I ended up having a collection of "Believers" with "Atheists" in my elevator at the same time. A woman ran up just as the doors were about to close, calling out "Is this the Atheists?" I let her on, saying "It's a mix in here. Everyone's agreed to get along for one elevator ride." -- which prompted someone in the back to say "Yeah, but are we going up or down?" Met Justin Trudeau (quite charming and much more handsome in person) on his way up to the studio, and R2D2 on his (its?) way down after the show. Also finally crossed paths with George Stroumboulopoul

I don't care what anyone says -- leg warmers with a bandana are so 1980s!

Shh - don't blow it! It's like my Christmas decorations KNOW it's January. While they aren't yet at the stage where they're coming right out and asking me why they're still up, they nonetheless keep making purposeful eye contact with me in the hopes that I'll spontaneously explain anyway. So I picked up my new glasses. =) The first pair, my Daily pair, are just rimless with a thin arm. They felt so very light when I first put them on, I kept reaching up to touch them to make sure they were still on. My Dress pair -- still rimless -- have fancier arms complete with fake crystals at the temples. I teetered on whether I thought they were gaudy or not. I chose to think they are fun.

Unidentified Falling Objects! And they left some space-age sort of jet fuel residue on my balcony: Doo doo do do ...
