Another Trip to TO

So I went back to Toronto for another visit to my friends Jabes and Thomas. Pretty great time overall! Got to see Thomas's new kiddy and catch up with him and whatnot. Went out for a good ol' fashion guys night on the town --drinks, music, shisha (non-tobacco version), etc. Was good seeing Jabes and her roomie again. I'm just going to throw up some pics below of the wonderful time.

Of course returned to Allan Gardens in the Downtown Core to see what summer foliage they had. These two plants were REALLY psychedelic! I think I may make the above one my iPhone picture. Trippy, no?
What a lovely shade of blue!

A night out at a bar called "the Local". Probably my favourite bar in TO. Good food, cute layout, fun music. Also, the proximity to Jabes' place factors in bigtime. I think we would have gone crazy here if it weren't for a bully of a head-cold that hit me halfway through the bloody trip! Goddammit!

My first full tour of Casa Loma! Some people may remember this place from my fave movie of all time: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Really great audio tour, and a crazy-whicked castle near the heart of TO.

Of course I had to take a picture of Jack's former HQ. What a great guy. Gonna miss him. He did a great deal for TO and Canada! Missing a big hole in Parliament with him gone.

I've been noticing that I'm spontaneously picking up a Newfoundland accent. I would have to assume it's somewhat due to all the Newfish people I work with on a weekly basis. It could have to do also with this new video I found of a lady named Stacey Tuttle. I don't know why I find it so funny. Maybe because I identify instantly with her Kit Kat troubles (I also likes the waffer and the crunch!) But after I asked around about her, I've found that Stacey is literally an official sight of St John's Newfoundland! (Like Mastodon Ridge is to NS). When I further nail the info down on this lady-type, I will re-post.

Take 'er easy, folks!
