Tee-dot-O

yoyo..greetings from Toronto or Tee-dot-O as its referred to in HipHop lyrics apparently hehe....hope all is good around the world, have been reading everyones blogs with great interest its like a treat when Ive had enough of job hunting on the net.

We found a place to live on Bathurst st, which is "downtown" well sort of, its in the student area called the annex which is cool, lots of cute houses with crusty couches outside and ppl playing guitar etc, the city has a funky bohemian vibe, little cafes, bars, op shops and book shores everywhere, and the fashion is seriously anything goes its great! I can walk to anywhere in the city and the subway and street cars are close by so its all good in the hood literally hehe. Its fab to be out of my sleeping bag and in a real bed, pure luxury I tell you after 4 months in the sack, crickey that sounds kinda gross, think I better wash it. Speaking of washing, we have to do ours at the laundry mat which is wyrd but guess I will get used to it.

Flatmates are cool Katherine and Dan, both Canadians,there are heaps of nationalities here its like a metropolis of cultures ha. Its going into summer, and we have a nice deck (they call it a patio) on the 3rd floor, with a hammock and bbq so got a nice wee spot for sunbathing.

Yah cant wait to see Matea, will be awesome!! I went shoe shopping yesterday and its out of control there is like a shoe mall with all the ranges like Gwen Stefani, JLo and Jessica Simpson, randy random I tell ya. The tax is never included in the price which catches me everytime, its whack.

Well I have no drunken rampaging to write about yet, have zero dollars and stressing about it, so am going to work at Hemingways restaurant (its NZ owned and decorated so I feel right at home, even have steinlager on tap) until something better comes along (fingers xd).

Have had some funny situations where ppl cant understand our accent (tis wyrd coz I dont think we sound that different), esp Jase as he tends to mumble at the best of times but like trying to say I need a size ten they are like "teen" whats that?? or the other day I wanted drawing pins and a small crowd gathered as I acted out pinning something to a wall and finally one guy was like "oh tacks you want thumb tacks well why didnt you just say"

love to all
