Yeah, one of these places opened up in the Eaton's Centre. I think it may be the only one in Canada. So After the interview at NOW (I'll get to that next) I find myself at the centre around lunchish. I pop in and there it is across from the food court. VERY clean and a sign telling patrons how to line up straight, make the order fast and move to the far left. It was a desision between Crab Bisque or Beef Gumbo. I went with the beef and got it to go with a root beer just in case it was bad. Along with the bowl (medium on the range of sizes and pretty expensive for soup) I got a nice piece of bread, a good plastic spoon (probably the best plastic spoon I've ever used) a chocolate, a napkin, two side add-ons for the soup (one was shredded cheddar/parsley and the other sour cream) and a tangerine. I was actually surprised at everything I got which made me feel better about the price. I took it to go and went outside, across the street to Dundas Square. Small tables for the summer, street performers with actual music talent and water fountains in parts of the walkway so kids can play (I remember one night getting hammered and running through those things... lots of fun). It was a great day and it was all very calming. I opened the soup bowl (sturdy little thing), added the add-ons, mixed a bit and then started testing it like a pro. Smell was deep and reminisent of beef herbs, the colour was a deep brown (lightened a bit nicely by the sour cream) and it looks REALLY hearty. After tasting it I can clearly state that not only would it be worth twice the price but THAT WAS THE BEST FUCKING SOUP I'VE EVER HAD!!!
If you can, have soup there. YOU MUST COMPLY! RESISTENCE IS FUTILE!!!
So, the meeting went very well. I was there early as usual (it's a good practice if you're in the journalism game) and had a snack of some cheap California rolls at the NOW lounge (8 pieces for $4 and good quality is pretty good). I managed to get all the important questions answered well before she had to split. Very nice lady with a very rich history, that Susan Cole is. I'll start dicecting the recording tomorrow. And Susan, if you're reading this, Thanks a bunch. You can expect my application!
I got Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition yesterday. I'll start in on it after the school year ends. Tomorrow is far too busy to even think about gaming. Plus I'm paying for EVE.
Bought X-men: The 198 ish.#4 and the box set to Magical Shopping Arcade Abenohashi. Both very good. I was going to get the latest Wildcats: Coda and Wildcats: Nemesis, but since I don't have any of the previous issues in the mini-run I'll wait for the trade paperback.
Can't wait for the income tax money to come in so I can seriously start shopping for that laptop. I've been looking for one on ebay. I hope I can find something by Alienware in my price range. I'd love to carry one of those.
OK so I think I'm going to use this semi-formal and just take the plunge. Gotta work out how exactly.
Not only if this the best saber duel I've ever seen, but it rocks all the more because it was done by fans (probably film students) and George Lucas had NOTHING to do with it. I'm going to send an e-mail to George Strombo @ the Hour, they like putting these cool finds on the air.
