Day Nineteen

I had a fun Day Nineteen, to be sure.


I got up early enough to catch a GO transit bus to go to GO! live from CBC HQ in Toronto, live on CBC Radio One. The theme was "The Greatest Grandparent", and they had three awesome grandparents to say the least - a world class triathelete, a gentleman who biked across Canada and a grandmom who came from The Philippines and became a kindergarten teacher in 1975... who was genuinely surprised that some of her former students were in the audience!! If you heard the show, you knew I was there... my laugh is very distinctive I'm told.


Yesterday was visit #7 to see GO! live... dating back to April 2008 when I bought Nora Young's sombrero and Bob MacDonald's space junk (both of which now reside in my drama class) Brent and the entire crew put on a great show, week in, week out. If you can, get tickets at cbc.ca/go if you're in or visiting the GTA. If not, the show airs at 10.30am Saturday local time (11.00 am NL time I believe).


I told Brent about my upcoming adventures this year and was happy to pose for a picture for the blog.




On the way back to the bus station, SB and I posed for a picture at the Royal Canadian Air Farce's donut shop, which is now in the CBC Atrium.

I had a very enjoyable lunch yesterday at East Side Mario's with a good friend. The calzone was excellent. And then for no apparent reason, I decided to go for a nice swim in my neighbour's pool... followed by some quality shopping for groceries, complete with the self scan. I tell you, the cardio workout at the store is a quality workout!

To finish the night I watched Wipeout Quebec with my landlords. It's good, but something is off about the timing of the show. It's paced differently - they play the qualifier on Monday, the sweeper and the dizzy dummy on the Tuesday episode, and finally five players in the Wipeout Zone on the Wednesday episode. I do however enjoy the fact that there's been a huge resurgence in games on Quebec this year - Taxi Payant is Cash Cab on Thursdays, Le Mur is Hole in the Wall on Thursday-Friday, Distraction airs on Wednesday and is an hour long with six players, La Guerre des Clans sees feuding families M-F. Thank you V!

Cheers,

Vick.
