Thus far, the majority of my summer has been occupied by nothing except... nothing. I have not done much at all, save stay at home and read, and minute amounts of exercise, which isn't all bad. I've had many thoughts cross my mind in the past few weeks, not all of which had the least bit of significance.

However, the past while has been eventful - bringing a much needed sense of excitement into my life that thermo chemistry and Gibb's Free Energy could never bring.

A while ago, I went to see Wall-E with Fiona. It was an awesome movie. I'd already heard people say that the movie was pure genius, and for a childish movie, actually contained relevant and chuckle-able jokes, along with a meaningful plot and subtext. I would have to agree entirely. The movie did serve to convey a thoughtful message, and what was most interesting is that the main characters were not even human - yet still relate-to-able.

On a side note, Forbidden Colours is good mood music.

Onwards.

Last Friday and Saturday nights were Asian Night Market, otherwise known as Toronto Midnight Market, or any combination of those words. So on the first night, we got there and did our thing. It wasn't as exciting as I imagined it to be. Then again, my imagination is a scary thing. But there was a dance-off! I guess I couldn't help but participate, but I was a bit disappointed. I didn't really care, but... I've been practice very hard, and my mind spaced out, and I wasn't able to do anything that I have been practicing on, and just did the same stupid stuff that I've always done. Sigh. Oh well. The other guys were good though. Props to them. And the whole atmosphere was really awesome, I rarely experience it.

What was more awesome was that afterwards, I managed to convince my mom to let me sleep over at Ambrose's house. It was really fun. I spent the next day at Ambrose's, until we went back to the night market. Unfortunately, it rained really hard, so the basketball court, where we volunteered, was forced to close and pack up. Which meant that we got to leave early. Not as early as I had hoped, due to rides issues, but that's alright. We chilled at Ambrose's house again until midnight and I headed on home.

What was really cool was that I got to practice a bit in Ambrose's basement (it's nice there), and he practiced too. He held a pretty sick freeze for a long time, which was caught on camera! Props to that.

I don't really want to talk about anything else in specific.

But what was really important to me was his hospitality in having me stay over. Needless to say, my summer's been pretty stale most of the time, and having the opportunity to get away from it all for two whole days was a real treat for me. So for that, I'm indebted. But it sure injected a good amount of fun and excitement into my otherwise not so fun or exciting life. It was great. So thanks, Ambrose!

Anyways, off I go.
