Stuff I did some stuff on this past weekend.

So last week our friend Diane was in town, from Montreal, to start the school year, visit some people, and run a 5K with Danielle. Since she doesn't live in Toronto anymore she stayed with us, as a result we got to go to the Trane Studio to see her friend play the saxophone, which was cool since it was close by and I'd never been.

Then Friday night Danielle and I saw Sicko, which I really enjoyed. I thought it was better then Fahrenheit 911, I thought he played less "tricks" and that the issue was far clearer. I mean the only country in the Western world without universal health care, the American government also pays more per capital then any other western country for that health care. Plus the idea of paying for health care just seems so strange to me.

Then Saturday night was dinner and a movie with Matt and Natasha, lots of fun as always.

Sunday during the day was my first trip to Canada's Wonderland with Rod and Laura, and a couple of Korean kids. Generally I would say that I'm not much for rides and things like that, too expensive and the lines are too long. But I think that I was wrong. It was a cool and rainy day so the lineups were small and you pay once to get your ticket and then all of the rides are free. And I liked the rides, turns out I really enjoy roller coasters...who the frack knew? Plus Rod and Laura were good people to go with since they knew everything in the park and just led us around from ride to ride, plus they pack a mean lunch.

Danielle and Diane ran the 5K race on Toronto Island during that cool and rainy day, which I think is tres cool.

I had to bail early though and missed out on riding "The Bat" because I had received and invitation to go see Nightwatching with Ciao at the Toronto Film Festival which was cool since I had never seen a movie at the festival before.

Then yesterday, which was Monday and not really the weekend at all I got the idea to see if I could run a half marathon, which I guess is pretty foolish. I mapped out a route which apparently is only 20.5 Km, but I think if you add in all the twists and turns of the route that I sort of skipped over I think that it would add up to 21Km (at least I hope). So I ran it like a jackass last night after work and completed it in 1:53:25, which seems like a generally respectable time to me, but I really don't know.

So that's that, me doing stuff, I hope you have enjoyed.
