secondlina...For those who have read Runaways, don't you love when Chase says that? I do!
Allright, what's going on? My internship is doing well, Although it is a bit boring since all i'm doing at the moment is research. Starting thursday things will become a bit more hectic, so I think i'll be far from being bored. Life in Toronto is good: This place is a geek Mecca. A GEEK MECCA! There's stores with japanese-comic-drawing-animation-cute asian crap-yummy food- old awesome movies EVERYWHERE! I spent far too much in these first weeks, but i'm calming down. I need to save for the anime con (Anime North that is happening on the 25th of may (right after my birthday! Ah!) though considering how easy it is to find cool stuff around here, I don't know is i'll buy that much.
I found this really nice place that opened last friday called the Labyrinth. They used to be a travelling store that went from con to con. The finally settled in a stable place because one of the two owners was pregnant (the owners are a married couple). It's a store that carries comics of every kind and rare comics and art books, and comics in french and sketch books and information books for animators and colorists. Link and I both spent a lot there. I returned to that place 4 days in a row. On the last day, I had a present for them: A big drawing I did. I took photos of it, so i'll post it up next time ^^
I'm also exited about shrek the third coming out on the 18th. Guess what i'm doing that weekend? Heh.
Aside from that, I think I lost a lot of weight. I though I did, but since my weight fluctuates quite a bit, I wasen't certain. Link noticed too today, which makes me believe it is not my imagination anymore. I weighted myself: I used to weight between 125 and 130. I'm currently 117. O_O I need to fatten up. I've been eating a lot of fish since I got here, so that probably diminished my intake of fat. I should go eat chinese food.
In a related food-though: There is like....11 sushi places on this one street called Bloor. I wanna try so many of them! And i want some more of that good deli pizza! Oh, and onigiri. Some places here sell onigiris and squid-shaped sausages. Ee! *is going crazy will all the food.*
Finally, I think it was about time I started another comic story here. I was originally supposed to start with the musical, but I wanted some sort of intro to it. Well, here it is. Reading far too many pages of the Wicked book while listening to the Wicked soundtrack as giving me this brainchild: Secondlina's panels in Oz. Enjoy.
p.s. Almost done with the Wicked book! Yeah!
p.s. 2 Hey, Yuki, you and I still need to meet or something!

I almost feel bad for Sylphiel...then again, if she turned Lina into a pair of shoes, she had it coming. (Poor Lina! She's going to get walked all over, poor ..er, shoes.) Is this going to be a continuing story? :D

Date: 2007-05-16 03:06 am (UTC)You got me curious about the new store. I don't know them from the con circuit at all (no surprise there!) but I'm wondering how different they are from The Beguiling? Not that there isn't room for two stores in T.O., but inquiring minds wanna know. :)
Nice story, by the by!

Ha ha! Talking shoes!!
