best day ev-ar? i think so!
wheee! yayayayayay! so today was an amazing day.. probably my most productive day out of this whole reading week (which is kinda sad, mind you..) today, kmrd and i celebrated our 2 year anniversary.. 'course.. we both don't.. really.. remember exactly when we got together.. but through some careful pursuasion (LOL, not!), i managed to convince kmrd to celebrate it today..
of course, i had some sneakiness around the corner..! i planned out the day cuz i knew he was going to be too tired to think, let alone plan anything.. haha.. zomg, kmrd has been overworked so bad these past few weeks (bring on the essence of chicken, plz! O_O) so i was hoping to ease the pain a little by getting us tickets to the canadian international autoshow! wooo! destined to be a day full of greatness! so yeah.. we were (obviously) kinda sluggish getting up today and managed to get to fairview at around noon.. decided to eat some lunch (i had a sub, he had arby's) and then head on downtown..
got to the autoshow, and i must admit it was quite impressive this year.. mind you, the last time i've been to one of these things was years ago.. maybe 2000-2001? i really can't remember.. so yeah, the quality of the show definitely improved exponentially.. i think it also had to do with it not being shoulder-to-shoulder crowded cuz it was a thursday.. good day to go.. haha.. there were actually quite a few kids there with their parents.. can you say skipping work/school?? lol.. there were even high school classes there on a field trip.. O_O dude, why wasn't libermann cool like that?
so yeah.. first booth we saw was mazda.. they were one of the few ppl who had a concept car to show.. the only other concept car i remember seeing was something from suzuki.. O_o.. and it was WEIRD.. i was kinda disappointed there weren't more concept cars around.. there wasn't much there that i hadn't seen before.. nothing that really blew my mind.. but all in all, every company had SOMEthing interesting to show..
it was pretty nuts though.. a lot of the "higher end" car companies had these CRAZY booths set up.. they had these information tables that seriously looked like a hotel lobby information desk. a FANCY hotel information desk. BMW, Mini and Subaru were all selling merchandise too (clothing, pens, etc.).. y'know, selling the "lifestyle". benz and lexus also had their own LOUNGES set up on a second level for drinks and coffee.. these places looked nicer than most coffee shops down on queen st. O_o.. pretty nuts, i tell ya.. damn.. we DID see this really nice benz that looked like the batmobile.. haha.. designed by mclaren.. O____O can you say hardcore? it even looked like it was going fast, standing still... >_<
hmm.. what else.. oh yah, we both tried sitting in the smart car.. zomg, it's so funny.. ok.. so my opinion.. the car is very well designed aesthetically, but they totally neglected funtion.. it kinda feels like a big toy car from the inside (lots of kid-looking knobs and buttons to press and poke).. and it definitely feels like you're sitting in one.. lol.. when kmrd closed the door, my elbow was about 1cm away from the door.. i'm like.. how do i steer?? the steering wheel is huge for the small amount of space you have in the cabin.. O_O so yeah.. i'd never get one.. if i had to choose a small car (like.. ridiculously small).. i'd go with the mini.. those look really fun to drive.. :D
mmm.. there's much more to mention about the cars, but i feel like there should be a "part II" to that.. so we'll just keep moving along...
after the autoshow (and walking for 4 hours straight), we were on our way back to union station when i remembered i had to call bay bloor radio about my headphones!! headphones that were supposed to be a christmas present.. haha.. so yeah.. long story short, i've been bugging bbr for about 2 months now about these headphones.. every time i call, they always say that they're not in yet.. so yeah.. after giving them a 3 week break, i called them today and FINALLY they were in! so we hussled over to the manulife center and picked up my overdue headphones.. and i'm using them right now! they're soooo cool.. sooo different from my sony earbuds.. and they're so comfy! granted, i need to break 'em in a bit (after wearing them for the subway ride home, my head hurt a bit..) but other than that.. i really like them.. can't go wrong with sennheisers.. ...unless they're the.. PX..something somethings.. those are garbage.. hahaha..
so! rush hour.. looong subway ride in sardine can.. but then.. back in scarborough.. and time to eat! at st.louis! hahaha.. we went there with cal, brad, chris, jay and trina on tuesday and now me and dave are addicted to their fries.. haha.. so yeah.. went back there again today for dinner.. i got their special for the day.. 6 drumsticks and fries for $5.50! what a deal! and OMG they were hoooooooooo-ge..! dave got a philly cheesesteak and i had to get him to help me with my drumsticks.. lol.. but they were so good..! so yah, very very good dinner.. and we went to walk some of it off at longo's next door.. that place is so cool.. and dave had never been in one before! so we HAD to go.. they have such cool pastries.. GIANT strawberry tarts that are the size of a small child's face for $1.99.. how could you go wrong??
anywho, that was more or less the whole day (save for a few unimportant details here and there).. it was an awesome day.. especially since i haven't seen dave in such a long time.. haha.. school, work and commissions are keeping him away from me much.. so it was nice to have the whole day with him.. hope i'll get to see him again soon..
..and wow, this was a damn long post.. whew.. time for sleep...! *zzz*
