Greetings From Asbury Park

Woke up later then I thought we would.
Everyone showered and we headed off on the road once again.
Made it to Niagara Falls!
Bought ponchos and went out into the mist.
Returned to our car and drove down the road, parked and went walking up the vegas-like street.
Lots of interesting things to see and hot dogs with cheese to be eaten!
Headed back to the car and made our way across the border. (phew)
BUFFALO!!!!
(NotMe: "wow, this city is ugly")
Got to our hotel.
Who or what is Adam's Mark?
Dad checked in with an invitation to "The Boss" Happy Hour. Apparantly everyone at the hotel was there for the concert.
Went to our room briefly and then made our way down for free food and cheap beer.
Bruce music was playing the whole evening, and everyone was sporting their Boss shirts. It was splendid.
(The Captain - he was everywhere! I still don't get the joke)
Bob and Steve came wandering by us! and they sat down to drink about 5 tequila shots each.
Started to hit on "Erecto" at the bar.
Eventually it was time leave (got our shirts on) and walked over to the arena.
After the massive confusion about getting into the arena, we were finally in our seats!
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!!!!!!
(He played my fav. song!! and BOTH christmas songs!!!)
three and a half hours later a fantastic show was over (once in a lifetime)
Back to the hotel for food - saw Jean and Dad's friends. Em and I went to bed and Dad stayed down in the bar drinking with the Bruce groupies.

This belongs to us (it's not the real one!!)

Woke up with about 4 and a half hours of sleep.
Did some final packing and headed off to Dad's.
Road trip to Toronto! - listened to some good tunes and had a short nap.
There are lots of nice people in Brockville.
Arrived in Toronto and went to drop off duffy at Mom's. (!!!)
Then headed downtown to visit the Hockey Hall of Fame.
(after the grouchy men at subway)
Searched endlessly for the Peterson Portrait but could not find it. (sorry!)
After a couple of hours in there we headed back to Emily's.
At this point there was a lot of walking to the mall and the parking garage, and attempts to climb out of the parking garage..

Me: "Oh look, there's Justin Bieber's cd"
Em: "Ohhhhh his last name is Bieber?? I've been calling him Justin Beaver"

aMominThePetStore: "I'm going to go see what the ass hole is going"
SevenYearOldSon: "What ass hole?"

Realized it was about 730 and that we should probably get something to eat.
Dinner and a deep fried mars bar! (they wouldn't play the wings game) and a very close analyses of all of our ID cards.

you look Lebanese

Back to the hotel to put in some more laundry and organize emily's incredibly small apartment into a sleeping arrangement for three people.
It was was actually hilarious.
Emily and I laughed hysterically over many things that weren't funny and had two very long texting conversations.
Finally we settled into bed and listened to Dad snore... and the phone ring at 330 in the morning.

Tequila for the birthday boy!

Went to class - came home and was determined to finish my essay, but then...
MOUSE!!!!!!!!!!! (on my kitchen floor)
it was poisoned and dying and trying to move but was more rolling around...
I had an enormous freak out...called mom and she tried to calm me down...
eventually I managed to get enough courage to put a bucket over it (it was actually really cute...I feel bad that I freaked out so much)
Then we both tried calling everyone to come rescue me, including: Jodie, Dad, Mark (I will not drop something heavy on it!) and Mike. Mike finally came to my rescue and threw it outside.
Almost two hours later and still freaked out I sat down to write my essay. That did not go very well.
Night time rolled around and Robyn, Matt and Pat came over and we headed off to the market for the birthday celebrations.
met a whole bunch of random people, got our drink on, bought shots for people, danced it up, got beer split on me (twice) and ended the night with a very awkward lean-in-for-a-kiss at the door.
bed (after a couple phone calls from an apologetic Robyn and a very drunk Emily)

It Tastes exotic

Pretty sure today was about the same...
went to class (did i?...I think I may have slept in a bit...) Handed in take-home exam early.
Home to work hard hard hard on my essay.
I'm still not done...
watched a lot of shows.
sleep
