you know i have a life when i post four blogposts in one day right?

well, anyway, up to today:
drove down to dfo to get another oroton umbrella to replace the one i lost talking to cherry ho on the bus
TURNS OUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IN STOCK AT THE MOMENT
fail.
was also on the lookout for a graduation dress but gave up.
double fail.
got some tops from dotti and a pair of flats from country road

then i went to ikea, which is essentially just across the road
was so hungry by then that the first thing i did was go to the cafeteria and eat me some meatballs
such a loner, eating meatballs and mash alone :(
then i went around ikea and had fun picking up random stuff for my phD desk
and then i got to the checkout and it was soooooooooooooooo ridic
the lines were all the way back to the computers that help you locate stuff
so i just chucked my items and decided to go back another time
like at 8:30pm on a tuesday night or something xDDDD

while we drank traditional tea and ate fruit
i ate like...half a watermelon.

dinner at the japanese place on top of captital square

5 girls, $210. so broke.

i feel i must appreciate the fork. 

it is quite the fabulous utensil. 

i'm eating a salad right now and had a whole egg off to the side. 

aside from using the fork as a fork, it suddenly came upon me that i can also use it as a knife to cut the egg up into smaller morsels. 

on closer reflection, i also realise that i could also use it as a spoon if i so wished.

wow. 

donna.

let's see how much i can say with a rectangular box:
