Devilish and I went to downtown Toronto this weekend for funtimes:
SATURDAY
- Wake up
- Roll over, go back to sleep
- Repeat above steps until the “go back to sleep” part stops working
- Fumble around for a bit, pack stuff, goof off
- Drive to Kingston in the rain. Rain? Rain! What kind of winter is this?
- Find a Codie; eat lunch at yummy curry place
- The word of the weekend becomes “fishtits”
- Devilish concocts a truly vile drink
- Wander the streets of Kingston to find where Devilish has gone
- It’s all good though because now there are double-stuf’d Oreos where there were no double-stuf’d Oreos before
- Drive to Canada’s World Class City (*snicker*)
- Find our hotel and Jeff (At the same time! Leeloo Dallas: multitask!)
- Check in, make sure the rum and coke we brought hasn’t gone bad
- Explore the hotel’s pool / spa
- Drive away the other guests with noisy playful splashiness
- Drive away friends with noisy playful smoochiness
- Go get changed
- Hunt for alcohol (how is it that Devilish knows exactly where the nearest LCBO is?)
- Hunt for dinner
- Attempt to find the Korean
Grill HouseBBQ
- Discover that KBBQ comes with a bonus out-the-door lineup
- Attempt to find Richtree’s Le Marche
- Discover that RLM comes with a bonus out-the-door lineup
- Attempt to find any place that’s not popular
- Found: Houston’s Steak and Rib House
- Eat teh dinners and goof around
We goof off while waiting for food
- Back to hotel for a wee nap before heading to The Second City (just in time!)
- Drinking and comedy ensue
- Back to hotel for drinking and a little rough-housing and the tail end of Mrs. Doubtfire (what, does that not logically follow?)
- Sleepies
SUNDAY
- Wake up
- Grumblemumblerhubarbrhubarb
- Eventually figure out that (a) there is no feasible alternative to being awake and (b) we lost an hour thanks to Bush’s newfangled idea of DST and we have to get out of the hotel quite soon
- Pack stuff in car
- Go have lunch at the Korean BBQ
- I’m pretty sure they’re putting some kind of crack cocaine in their beef marinade ’cause HAWT DIGGITY is that ever yummy
- Return to hotel, at which point Jeff has not enough time to catch his bus back to Guelph
- Drive to Guelph
- Stop in to watch the funniest episode of Stargate EvAr
- NormMonkey catches a whiff of a possibly addictive series that he might want to find DVDs for
- Meet some cool people
- Drive back to Toronto, sit in traffic
- Drive back to Kingston
- Drop off Codie, pick up stuff at Devilish’s place
- Dinner at Wendy’s (it’s now getting close to 21h00)
- Drive to Ottawa
- Go to bed
If I had the trip to do over I’d pretty much do it exactly the same way. Favourite moments? (1) FISHTITS; (2) York, York, York; (3) Roadtrip singalongs and general goofing off; (4) Grabbing the cellphone with the annoying ringtones and throwing it in the glovebox (OK, maybe not a favourite moment but that felt good); (5) any of the moments that involved uncontrollable giggling and silliness (there were several); (6) unspecified fun and games.
I really needed that trip. When we got home it felt like I’d been relaxing and having fun for four days. So I guess that means we packed four days of fun into two. Go team!
