whatevs
* it’s hot in toronto. it’s been hot for the past couple of days, and will still be hot through tomorrow night. i do not enjoy the heat. there is no pool on hand in which i might dunk myself, and the only breeze coming in through my windows is not unlike that which would blow from a hair dryer. which is to say: hot.
* the aforementioned heat makes me just want to lie on the couch in front of my fan and nap.
* yesterday i decided to escape said heat by going to a movie. a nearby theatre still has $5 tuesdays (hooray!), so i went to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which was not only a blissful two-hours-and-32-minutes long (that’s bang for your buck! and a long stretch of air-conditioned relief!), but an excellent film. by the time it was over and i walked the half-hour home around 8pm, the air was cooler.
* tonight, before heading to another screening, i will have a (junior) burrito at moe’s. i just looked up the nutritional info, and it has 20g of protein. my body will be happy.
* i have become dedicated to first-thing-in-the-morning exercise. for the past few days, and likely inspired by my morning walk + swim in florida, i’ve been getting up, getting dressed and heading out right away for a 50-minute power walk. something about coming home completely sweaty and then having a nice shower before settling in for breakfast makes me feel like i’ve done something good for myself.
* in a day or two, as soon as the books come in at the library, i will begin research for a new project. i’d do online research in the meantime but... see: first three items on the list pertaining to excessive heat.
* remember the beautiful laminate flooring YB, her friend and i installed ourselves in her basement rec room a few months ago? it’s all been torn up. just days before she had to leave for florida, trix discovered her plumbing wasn’t draining and, after an emergency call to some plumbers, learned she had a cracked clay pipe below the foundation of her house. so her entire basement floor had to be dug up in order for the repairs to be made. this means that we’ll all be doing the whole floor all over again some weekend very soon.
* i have absolutely no interest in seeing the new Shrek movie. i can’t stand him.

omg, poor Trixie.
I hope that heat breaks soon. We are having May gray and soon, June gloom.
Oh no.....the floor!
The woman who plays Lisbeth Salander in Dragon Tattoo is HAWT. They are going to have a very difficult time finding someone as good for the American remake--which of course begs: why bother?
rumour has it ellen page is a top contender for the U.S. remake... which, in my opinion, is 13 kinds of wrong.
