Listening to: the quiet humming of my computer at 9am on a Sunday morning (why can I not sleep in anymore???)
Thinking of: What shall I do today?
Yesterday was a really funfilled, exciting day for me. James and I went to Science World to see the Lego Exhibit. It wasn't as big as I had expected it to be, but it was still really cool to see Lego can build so many things, like a giant Dora the Explorer and her friends...as well as a castle at the entrance with a very large fiery dragon. There was also an amusement park built out of lego, with moving ferris wheel and roller coaster! What I really liked about Science World was the interactive activities, learning about physics and stuff based on those activities. Too bad we didn't get to try out the mind relaxation activity, where two people sit at the ends of a table and put on this head gear that reads the brain waves. Both people are trying to relax and see who can relax the most (which will then move a tiny little ball in the middle of them over to their end). There was always so many people there!
For dinner, we went to Shiru-Bay Chopsticks on Hamilton Street. YUM! That place is delicious! We had the Chili Ebi-Mayo (which is deep-fried prawns glazed with japanese mayo and chili sauce), Dragonball Roll (sushi that included prawn, avacado, tobiko, and salmon caviar), Traditional Cheese tofu (served with baguettes), Seared tuna mackeral (the one that is seared right in front of you, then they take it back to the chef and he prepares it into a salad and sashimi), and Asparagus & meat gyozas (they're like regular gyozas except there's a big long asparagus sticking out of it)...MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........and we also shared a green tea cheesecake that was delicious..it melted in your mouth. My favorite dish was probably a tie between the Chili Ebi-Mayo and the Dragonball Roll. Must go there and try more dishes, but for sure those two top my list!
After dinner, because a friend was in the production, we went to the Metro Theatre on SW Marine Dr/Granville to watch Guys & Dolls. We had awesome seats, 4 rows from the stage and dead centre...plus, the show was amazing! As a musical production, there was a lot of exciting points in the play with the singing and the dancing. The Guys were amazing, and the Dolls were great! I especially loved the character of Adelaide. The actress who played her had to talk in a New Yorker accent, but she really pulled it off nicely! And the guy who played Sky Masterson was a pretty good singer. Even though the Metro is a smaller theatre than most in the city, I really loved the atmosphere, and since it was closing night, everybody was smiling, laughing, and raving about the show. What a night!
