Out of The PIT

So apparently the Canadian Government will be getting rid of the penny this coming fall. This has been in the cards for a long time methinks. I have been keeping all of my old pennies for a while now, at least all the non-steel ones. In other news, I tend to fling my hands after washing them to get rid of any excess water before I try them with a towel/blow dryer. Yesterday, I was washing my hands in the washroom and just as I flung my hands, my ring flew off, bounced in the sink, and started bouncing around the room like some crazy SuperBall. It went on for ten seconds before coming to a rest on the floor, I was pretty darned lucky it did not go down the drain or into any of the urinals. (That ring can bounce!)

I went with Laz and a bunch of his friends to watch The Raid: Redemption . It was a mindless entertaining hyper violent action flick, and that pretty much sums it up. Quite a number of good action sequences in there, but not much of a plot to talk about, nor much dialogue.

MJNL and I went out to the recently renovated Bloor Cinema to watch Being Elmo . We both enjoyed the movie, and I would highly recommend others to watch it. The modernized Bloor Cinema seemed very clean and fresh compared to how it was before, but still maintained some of it's old charm. We wanted to have dinner at Pizza Libretto after the movie, but the place was packed, and the waiting time was 30-40 minutes for just the two of us! We went instead to Foxley Bistro And Bar, which is an tapas restaurant that serves an Asian fusion style of food. We had five dishes, and I really liked the two fish ceviches, and the blue crab appetizer. Tasty food.

MJNL and I decided to go out and have a dinner and movie at Empress Theatres. (We had some tickets that were expiring soon.) After a quick meal at Ichiban Sushi, we watched 21 Jump Street . It was surprisingly funny, and we both enjoyed the film. It's quite entertaining, and although I had not seen the original series, I've been told that it is quite different.

So I have been told that my car should be ready today. I was also told that it would be ready yesterday, last week, last Monday, last-last Friday, last-last Thursday, last-last Wednesday.. I would normally be laughing about it, but I did opt in for the rental insurance. Gah! In other news, MJNL and I have gone back to do some hot stone yin yoga. It is pretty exhausting! Then again, it might be also related to the DST change, and the lack of sleep over the weekend. Still, I do not foresee us getting too many long nights to sleep..

Well, I found out yesterday that my car was in fact not ready for pickup. They had found another issue and ordered a part which will not arrive until Monday. Fortunately, I was able to contact the car rental agency and my insurance company to make sure they knew of the change, otherwise, I could have been stuck with a bit of a bill when I brought the car back. I also need to set up an appointment for my TdP shot. No time like the present I guess.. If I only remembered what the number was.
