nothing in the past or future will ever feel like today

I have a place for September! It's got light, a kitchen and furniture. The only thing that might be a bit iffy is internet access, but there should be cheap high-speed available for me to get set up (and maybe I'll be really lucky and they'll be bootleg wireless in the area). I have the keys and everything, and since I don't really need to be on campus until Sept. 4th, I won't have to come back to London until then - which gives me almost two months in BR once I get back from Halifax.


Anyway, today was lovely. I signed the lease in the morning and went for a swim. Then Ann and I went to pick Charlie up from work and we drove out to Port Stanley, which is a beach town off of Lake Erie. We stopped at a water gardens place on the way in (since Ann wanted to get stuff to patch up a leak in her pond) and let me tell you, the guys who work there were seriously hot. It was like I stumbled onto the hidden hotness of southern Ontario! Very nice.

After Ann got what she needed and Charlie bough an Easter Island head replica thing (about three feet tall and majorly heavy) that laid belted in next to me in car for rest of the trip, we drove into Port Stanley. We walked along the beach there, and I tried to skip stones (conclusion: I was much better at this as a kid) while Ann and Charlie talked and many different breeds of dogs barked at us.

We got dinner at the Kettle Creek Inn, which was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful hot pickerel fillets and plenty of wine (I shared a bottle with Charlie). We sat outside, in the warm sun - I don't think I've felt this relaxed in a long time.

For dessert, Ann and I got ice cream sundaes at the local ice cream parlor. Mine was a carmel apple sundae, with mind-meltingly good vanilla ice cream, carmel and baked apple. Mmmm.


Tomorrow I go back to Toronto, and then onto aishuu's, so, hopefully the next time I post will be from her place. ^_^

Yay! I'm glad housing worked out well for you. Housing can be such a bitch. So I'm glad you have a nice place and things are working out well. And you can hang out at home!! Whee!

Hope things keep going well for you :D

*grins* Thanks! And you so totally come visit me next year, because Ontario is so close to Californa. ;D

There is a big hand print on my computer so the 'bitch' is skewed and fuzzy. Quite funny actually. Wish you could see it, but I'll probably wash the screen before then.

Ooo, sounds like fun. And hahaha to the Easter Island head! (Why on earth did he need that?!?!)

*huggles* Safe travels!

*laughs* Apparently he's wanted one for years. Ann put it in a part of the garden that will have tall grass in a month, but right now it just kinda stares at you!

*hugs back* Oh, and I know that you've made plans for the summer now, but any word from the internship people at all? I just ask this because of Jamie, else I wouldn't be bothering you at all with it.

*tilts head* You know... just an observation but.. the writing you sounds much frillier than the you I am used to seeing ^_^... Glad you are having such a great time up there in that cold cold place.

Ekat - now with more frills!?! I guess I tends to be more thoughtful and either happier or more morbid in LJ, whther than sardonic and crazy, like I come across in RL. *shrugs*
