random moments in Toronto
Nov. 29th, 2006 09:56 pmMy house is suddenly full of these massive flies. None of them were here yesterday, and they are all the big heavy-bodied ones that take weeks to get to full size. I have no idea where they came from.
This happens the day after we suddenly notice an unpleasant smell coming from somewhere on the main floor. I've checked all the mouse traps and I can't figure out where it's coming from. I'm starting to get seriously worried that there is something trapped inside one of the walls.
---------------------------------
I took my cousins to Panic on the weekend. It was kind of hilarious. Even more hilarious was the mob of them gamely navigating the Toronto public transit system.
At one point I told one of them, "Don't worry, nobody is going to run you over here. Do you have any idea how much car insurance costs in this city?"
---------------------------------
Axel and I helped a friend move a television the other day, and when we were dropping off the van we passed a storefront with a big sign that said A2Z VACCUUMS.
I, of course, immediately read this as ASS VACCUUMS. I spent the entire trip home cracking up over the ass vaccuums.
I have the exact same reaction every single time I pass the senior's apartments that are located right by the Gay Village - a complex called Fudger House. I swear that my sense of humour is still twelve.
---------------------------------
I was in the middle of the city the other day, and a raptor lifted off a patch of grass directly in front of me to swoop over the road. It had some small mammal dangling from it's talons. It was moving away from me, so I couldn't see it's head, but it was about the right size for a Peregrin, and I've seen them in the city before.
---------------------------------
Later the same day I was on the subway and this guy was in the same car, travelling with a half-dozen puppies of some small breed. Lesson for the guys; you want to be completely swarmed by chicks whereever you go? Travel with a posse of cute baby animals.
The dogs were of course delighted with all the attention.
