Geeky Cat Miusings

I lucked out on Friday…my friend got some free tickets to see the Wise Guys at the Just For Laughs Festival. It was hilarious — the line up of Italian comedians poked a lot of fun at Italians. All in good fun though. Excellent insight as to how an Italian would have effectively dealt with Osama Bin Laden. The street festival was pretty good too.

We popped in to a convenience store for some drinks. The owner was sitting behind the counter, his cigarette shelves were covered as is required by law in Ontario. But he had a cigarette behind his ear. I pointed out that he advertising cigarettes in his own sly way. My friend asked if she could sign the cigarette so that she could verify if the cigarette was strickly there for marketing purposes. He declined.

Saturday looked liked it was going to be a stormy day but the cold front cleared the skies in time for the BBQ. I finally got a chance to meet the lady who has five ferrets. She recently adopted her last ferret and had a ferret shower to welcome her to the clan. I must say I learned a lot from her.

Sunday was a great day to take in the Beaches Jazz Festival. I spent the afternoon sitting in Kew Gardens listening to Brandi Disterheft, Anne Lindsay, and Lady Son y Articulo Veinte. I didn’t remember the name but I recognized Brandi when I saw her — I saw her playing with the Richard Whiteman Trio earlier this year — she is good.

It was a great weekend to be out and about. I enjoyed walking around the beaches though I was somewhat lost without good signage. I love stopping for Dufflet pastries and exotic tea blends. I missed applying sunscreen to a few areas on my back so I’m slightly burned, but not too bad. There has to be a better way to apply sunscreen to the back, don’t you think?

I wish every weekend had food, music, and laughter in hearty doses!
