I had a pretty busy Easter weekend. My parents are in Florida visiting my grandmother so there was no trip to Ottawa, and therefore no big Easter dinner! But oh well, I found other things to eat, and in large quantities.

Friday Geoff and Christine had Dave, Heather and me over for brunch and it was quite delish.

Then I headed over to Ian’s. We moved some of his furniture around and then shot a bunch of zombies on his Wii. I biked around that day and it was pretty cold biking home late at night, but still felt great.

On Saturday I played squash with Guillermo, then headed home to get ready for Spring Awakening with Justin, Tom and Michael. We had seats on the stage and it was a pretty awesome and unique way to experience the performance. That was my second time seeing it and I’m down for a third if I have the change before it closes this weekend. Then we went out to Woody’s and Crews, met up with Erica and Guillermo and Brian, ran into Matt and Steve, and ended the night with a big 3am meal at Fran’s (big = chicken fingers & fries plus half of Guillermo’s chicken fingers… yikes!).

Sunday was brunch with Seana and her mom at Insomnia, grocery shopping with Eddy at T&T and then hanging out with Brixton for a few hours in the evening. I love long weekends!

French class last week was really fun and I think I’m going to enjoy the remaining 7 weeks. I understood everything the teacher but I realized that my accent is only good when i’m exaggerating it; i.e., making fun of it. So I guess now I have a good reason to be sarcastic!

Cousin Geoffrey turned 31 yesterday so we had a little get-together at his and Katie’s place on Saturday. My sister surprised him by driving 3 hours to be there. It was fun, especially playing video games and watching movies on my other cousin Ronnie’s 50″ plasma TV. Now I know with no uncertainty that I NEED ONE OF THOSE. Johnny’s sister was there and she is in the pastry chef program at George Brown… so we called her a master baker. Gosh, did I have fun with that one…

I had dinner with Lora last night. We went to “the place with bad service”… which is what we call this place on Yonge between the two Spring Rolls. I don’t know why we keep going there as the food really isn’t that great, it isn’t super cheap, and also because of the reason why we nicknamed it as such. Then we went to Starbucks where there is usually a really cute employee who actually gets Lora’s and my weird way of interacting with service staff. (He’d get one of the “You Get It!” cards that we have yet to make.) Anyway, he wasn’t there but in his place was another cute one who is at least 10 years younger than me… which is fine, right?

Ce soir je commence mes classes de la langue Francais. I’m hoping to become actually bilingual and improve upon my extended-French high school diploma to the point where I can actually speak it. It’s at a high school near where I live. I’m taking the intermediate level and even though I think I’m beyond that, it will be a good starting point.

Last weekend I was in NYC visiting Keith and sooner than later, I hope, I’ll post some pics and videos.
