May 2-4 Weekend
In short, the long weekend was excellent. Kyle came and I took him to places he's never been to.
In more detail,
I met up with Stella at her new house on Thursday and explored her very modern and expensive looking kitchen. We made our own pasta in the sense of boiling pasta and mixing it with already made Pesto sauce and fried spam. Tasted great! But we made a whole lot. Afterwards, we took the bus downtown and Stella and I waited at the bus station for Kyle to come. We waited....and waited...and we still didn't see him on the bus! Soon after, Stella had to leave for her meeting and I waited alone...and waited...and waited. 50 minutes later I get a call on my cell and I find out Kyle got off one of the buses and went over to the main terminal already. How did I miss seeing him getting off the buses? I will never know. We went to the Eatons Centre and met up with Webnesh. We walked around, had food and Web and I caught up on our oh-so-exciting lives. Later on, my mom picked Kyle and I up (we said bye to Web!) and went home and had a very traditional Chinese dinner.
On friday, I took him to the Science Centre since he's never been to it. OSC was alright except there weren't any new exhibits so it wasn't as exciting for me. Plus there were a lot of school groups so therefore a lot of screaming annoying kids running around and hogging all the cool things to do. After OSC, we went to go find a TD bank and I got yelled at for my horrible parking by a crazy lady, "you're going to get a ticket because you parked right on the line!"
On Saturday: Pacific Mall. That's right...I took a native guy to Pac Mall. I haven't been there myself in a long time, and a lot of shops have changed from selling jewelry to selling illegal dvds. I think we passed by at least 5 stores selling still-in-theatres movies.
Sunday was the day my parents have been preparing for...the Davinci Code Day. The family + Kyle went to go meet up with Alex (Abby's bf) at Eglinton Town Centre (or the other one? The one with the huge Cineplex) in the Casey's by the theatre and had a pretty huge meal. We watched the movie shortly after.
THE MOVIE BLEW.
I'm sure no one is suprised by that comment. The book had so much potential in the movie but it was so boring. I don't think it's because we've all read the book either. I read "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" and I still loved the movie to bits. I think (and we all agreed) that the casting was probably the weakest link in the series of weak links. Audrey Tautou and Tom Hanks had no spark whatsoever and the semi-relationship that they gave off was more like father-daughter than man-woman. This movie also reminds me of my dislike for Tom Hanks. Other than Forrest Gump, I haven't liked any of his movies. And he said "libary" in the movie! It's "libRary"! It made him seem incompetent. Plus he was fat.
We had to move the grill into the solarium because it was way too windy outside to do anything. My dad didn't open the screen doors wide enough so the smoke went into the house. The chicken wings also caught on fire and I freaked out because Kyle took out the rack and held the flaming chicken wings (that were dripping flaming oil) over the carpet. The good news: no one got burnt; the bad news: the chicken wings did.
Monday: Everyone left Toronto. I did, Abby did and Kyle did. I'll be back in Toronto on Wednesday!
