congrats to toby and clara!!!
came back an hour ago from their wedding banquet. :) had a great time, a very fun affair. my benita looked absolutely gorgeous in her bridesmaid gear and, i must say, she has a fantastic strut. (work it! hee!) pics'll be posted on flickr soon.
it's been a pretty busy weekend. dave's finally moved from the cnut (sniff... bye wayne!) into his new apartment. it's pretty nice, but very unfurnished - nary a bed, chair, or table. i can't wait to decorate... it'll be like the good ol' days with grace when we pored over restoration hardware catalogs and pretended we could afford thai silk striped draperies...
p.s. karyn! i'd love to meet up with you, ju, and jess. i'm pretty much free all summer and ju's in town too, so name the day and place. :)
p.p.s. i do apologise if i offended anyone with my last post. but seriously, it was a boring movie. i think everyone at delta agreed with that. [it was also an entertaining book, but i still maintain that it was poorly written.]

things you should know before going to watch the da vinci code movie: [blogger's personal feelings on said subject]
1. the book on which it is based? sucked. and no, i'm not even talking about the preposterous conspiracy theories -- it was just very poorly written. 2. sitting through it seems a LOT longer than it actually is. seriously. 3. i totally would have kicked the canes. just saying. 4. tom hanks probably knew that the movie was going to suck b/c every line delivery seems very squinty and pained. 5. audrey tautou is a pretty woman. very nice, delicately-featured face. i actually liked her in this movie. 6. you will fidget. 7. you will roll your eyes to your theater-seat neighbour. <-- it wasn't just me. 8. albinos are supposed to have red eyes. (right?) ok, upon researching, i concede that albino humans do not have red eyes per se, HOWEVER some of them do have eyes appearing red or purple (as i've seen on campus) depending on the amount of pigmentation. the majority have light blue eyes. 9. too much exposition. cheesy dialogue (straight from the book???) <-- by this, i meant "did they lift the dialogue straight from the book?" 10. in hollywood, french cop = jean reno. 11. having ian mckellen in a movie is a good thing.

you'll have to excuse me if this post is stupid, i still have a headache from yesterday.
last night, i saw troy with my parents. i've seen it before and though i didn't love the movie before (with the exception of poor, honourable hector) i figured, "what the heck, i might as well watch it again." i mean, the first time i saw the movie they forgot a pivotal reel and then randomly tacked it on again at the end. (yes, we got a free movie pass from the debacle.)
anyhow, upon this second viewing, i have to make this comment -- something that i'm sure has never been said before, something so earth-shattering that this may herald the end of the word -- "brad pitt got too much screentime in this movie."
as much as i love brad pitt (and i do!), achilles was a big jerk and really there's only so long you can put up with sketchy accents. plus, hector was just waaaaaaaay better. you suck, achilles!
it's rather sad watching the movie, knowing that the people you're cheering for (troy) are doomed. i've been re-reading the last battle for this thursday's book club meeting and it's so terrible to read of the destruction of narnia and its people. to read of those who turn their backs on their own people, those with self-imposed blindness and darkness, and those poor, good people cruelly and injustly slaughtered by others. these sad events occur through most of the book (atleast three-quarters of it) and yet this is one of my favourites of c.s. lewis' chronicles. despite the death of narnia - which really is excruciating and almost unbearable to read - it only takes a few sentences of lewis' description of heaven for the sting to go away. it all pales in comparison. i wonder what the real heaven will be like...
oh, so went to the sweets expo on saturday with dave. was a little disappointing b/c there weren't that many booths (it's their first year, i think) and many unrelated booths hawking "eye-candy" jewelry, eggs, make-up, fruitE juice (complete with DDR set-up), and lines of credit?! but there were lots of free samples like chocolates and cotton candy... yum! not-so-yummy were the "amped up" balls that were supposedly equal to downing half a red bull. those things were cherry and fudge and oh-so-vile... blech.
the highlight of the afternoon: there was a fashion show featuring gumballs, licorice, candy canes, etc. one piece of candy fell off an outfit and was kicked off the catwalk by a man who was worried somebody would trip on it. this little girl comes running up immediately after, picks the candy off the ground and has it poised to put in her mouth... when she looks up to see a stranger admonishing her for picking up candy of the ground. awww. the kid then drops the candy and walks off dejectedly. i swear, it was the funniest thing i've seen in a long time. i kept trying to convince dave to drop candy on the ground in her vicinity so we could record the whole thing on his digital camera, but he refused. party pooper!

it's like watching two vehicles collide in slow motion when you suddenly realise that you've been sitting in one of them and that you've been steering all along.
a word of advice for y'all: you should probably stay out of my way today. i seem to be picking fights with everyone. effing hormones.

ahhhh, is there anything better than eating bacon and garlic mashed potatoes at 12:57am?? i think not! :)
also equally as nice is the fact that i've been sleeping in obscenely late these past few days - it's nice to be finally free from this wretched school year. of course, this bliss will soon turn to "haveyoufoundajobyet? haveyoufoundajobyet?" from my parents, but i'm going to enjoy this for as long as i can. i think i deserve it - i mean, had i stayed in queen's, i would have just finished off a BScH degree, and i did just as much work here at UT as i would've in queen's so.... I GET TO REST NOW. :p
(just don't tell dave. the poor dear's got a huge meeting tmw afternoon, and he might not take kindly to my talk of freedom and relaxation. sorry hun! keep working hard! love you! :D )
i caught a few minutes of flavor of love this weekend. remember all the crazies from top model and other reality shows? you haven't seen CRAZY until you've witnessed the antics of this show's new york (the girl's nickname). it's pretty much the bachelor, but way more ghetto and featuring flavor flav, that rapper from public enemy who wears that clock around his neck. heh, remember homestarloween 2000? flav is also considered to be the world's most homely man ever (by this blogger, anyhow) although this dubious distinction is contested by dave, who thinks snoop should win that title. starsky and hutch was on tv this evening, and i must say i disagree - the man knows how to work the pimp suits. ;) anyways, go check out this youtube link featuring the antics of the infamous new york or watch some of the clips on the vh1 site. lemme just leave you with a little quote from the reunion show: "i ain't gonna spit, b/c i got WAY more mothaf---in' class than you. you know what, i AM, however, gonna f---in' B*TCHSLAP yo' mothaf---in' ass!" all class, that one. :) it also appears that there's going to be a second season of this stuff. awesome.
things i am excited about: - jenne's upcoming wedding! ames and i are going to be greeter-and-gift-taking people at her wedding and it's going to be a blast. i'm still working on convincing the bride to give us a cut of the monetary gifts, but i may have to try appealing to duncan instead... - clara's upcoming wedding! it's been too long since i've seen my darling bun and allison. - finales! top model (please be either joanie or danielle) and veronica mars (this season started off meh, but the second half's been great) - praise night at mississauga cpc! da vinci code stuff at delta! - finishing off the rest of the mashed potatoes tmw at dinner. or maybe lunch. or breakfast. (they were darned good, ok?!)
