Checked out Spider-Man 2 on the (long) weekend and greatly enjoyed the film. Unfortunately, a few obnoxious loud-mouths sitting around us talked throughout the movie and that was annoying - is there any way to handle this situation effectively? If you tell them to politely STFU they'll either do it & hopefully the other patrons will applaud your efforts; or, they'll talk even more and louder; or, this being Scarborough, they'll go crazy and want to start a fight or worse. Next time, I'll watch a must-see movie in a more mature theatre as Morningside has become too much of a high school/teenager hotspot. I blame it on the Wal-Mart that opened there.
I realized that I went to only one class all of last week. That's terrible. Mon - slept in (set my alarm for PM and not AM - argh!); Tues - late poker night on Monday and didn't wake up for morning class, but made my afternoon class; Wed - effortlessly dragged out to another late poker night and slept in again; Thurs - Canada Day!; Fri - c'mon, who'd show up anyway?
I'm down to my last swimming lesson t'row - but I could use a few more I think as I don't have the front stroke down (meaning I still can't swim) and I'm not comfortable to tread water in the deep end yet. Had my last golf lesson last week as well and will play a round of 9 holes next week for the first time! I'm seriously considering buying a set of clubs but hesitant on how much I should spend as a beginner of this great sport. We didn't have any practices for dragon boat last week and that could prove to be our Achilles heel in our training. The team needs more all-around commitment and dedication in order to finish a fine season by winning or placing high at the Waterloo races. We had another fundraiser at the Bomber and only 6 or 7 team members showed up to help out. That was disappointing but the pizza sale was a success as we sold out our 14 allocation and could have sold 5 more I bet. Myself and a few of the other "dedicated" paddlers purchased carbon-fibre (shaft section) paddles and hopefully we'll get them in time for Waterloo. I want to continue dragon boating after school is done and have begun to align my strength-training as a result. If I land a job at one of the banks, that would be sweet as they all have well-supported teams; or I could help start up a new UW alumni crew if enough interest exists...
I've begun planning my Eurotrip and consulted my sis, Sandy, and bro-in-law about their recent 2 week trip and their tips should be valuable. I've got Lonely Planet's Western Europe book and will look at Frommer's resources as well. The budget is still in the air and I will try to contact family friends/relatives who live in Europe to get in touch.
Finally, Restie told me that Thomas wants someone to take over his Mazda6 lease for the remaining 2 years. It would be awesome if I could do that as the monthly payments are reasonable the buy-back price sounds low enough that it could be sold for profit. With only 13K clicks out of 20K allocated for the first year and Thomas going to HK for a month, that is going to be sweet since it has very low mileage. Too bad that it's not a standard transmission and doesn't have a spoiler nor tinted windows...
