bending_sickleThe Life of the Sickle, condensed version:
- Went to New York City. Parents and I stayed in Jersey City, which failed to live up to it's state's noteriety. The trip was between Friday and Monday, between which we stuffed trips to Liberty Island, Washington Square, Wall Street, Brooklyn Bridge, Madison Avenue, and so on. We also stuffed ourselves with delicious pizza at Lombardi's. Failure to espy Jon Stewart (and carry out The Fangirling to End All Fangirling).
- Went to Montreal. We stayed overnight only, leaving Wednesday afternoon after a traditional stuffing at the Indian restuarant Taj. Met up with Kathleen (♥) and talked for hours. Wandered around the Vieux Port, McGill Campus (♥) and Mont Royal. Acquired an Hour and squeed over the Neil Gaiman cover (although cursed that he'd actually been in Montreal for some SF convention).
- Returned to Toronto. Riffled through and threw out a couple boxes of school notes and knick-knacks. Went for a bra fitting and was recommended to go to a specialist for possible scoliosis (I'm deformed!). Took glasses in for minor fitting, got them ruined, so turned them in for new lenses and am now using glasses with a four-year-old prescription. Got the very good (and cute) Paulo to spruce me up with highlights at Hair.fx. Got email from boy; emotional reaction unknown apart from general flailing.
- Currently. Packing for 11 pm trip back to the Netherlands. Cue stress over packing, renewing work (hopefully more forest and less trees in sight), meeting with Supervisor, rigorous exercise routine (utterly necessary) and so forth.
