Skirts On Fire

Lunch in the City – Cafe de Gama

Cafe de Gama is a Portuguese cafe, right next to Soul Soup, on Rice Howard Way.

I was heading to Telus for Mt Fuji because I was feeling lazy and am disliking Subway as of late, which would be my other go-to, close-to-work, lazy place to eat. Then I remembered that there’s a cafe next to Soul Soup that I hadn’t been to yet. I am incredibly glad that I did. Holy hell was it tasty. $8 got me a big panini with pastrami, spinach, cream cheese and pickles. I’m contentedly stuffed and ready for my nap. I’m happy I’ve found a good sandwich-esque place to replace the one that has been turned into Fat Burger (FatBurger? Fat-Burger?) in City Centre East. Canadian Soup and Sandwich, I still miss you, in all your delicious and fairly-priced glory.

As an aside, I’m still amazed that Fat Burger is called Fat Burger.

Good Mornings Mean Good Days

It has been suggested that I start drinking in the morning. What’s your take on that? If in support of this motion, please recommend a tasty morning drink!

Spent a good portion of my day listening to Coldplay’s Viva la Vida. Why is it that that every so often I stumble upon one of their songs, fall in love with it, then tell myself that I should listen to their other songs, only to do so and inevitably become bored? Stupid Coldplay, be more consistent.

Lunch in the City – Good Earth Cafe

The new Elm Cafe or on the twitters @elmcafe is too far away for lunch. I meant to get up early and stop there before work but unsurprisingly that didn’t work out so well. Instead I decided to try out Good Earth Cafe in City Centre and had their Grilled cheese sandwich with apple and rhubarb. Do not do. I wish I’d hit up Wrapture in the food court for their $10 wrap and smoothie deal. >:(

24 HOURS IN 19500 FRAMES from tim hahne

Really going to have to work on my German.

Break Ups : (

My best friend told me that it sounded like I was in mourning and he was right.

But see the thing is that life with you doesn’t really exist anymore.  Things have changed so much and there are faces missing.  What we had won’t ever happen again but that only makes it all the more special.  It is to me.  I’ve never felt like that before.  The friendship and camaraderie between us, coupled with the respect and confidence in what we could achieve together, have changed my perceptions of myself, of my world.  I’ve been inspired and I can see opportunities everywhere I look.  Challenges that I would have backed away from I now know can be conquered.  I’m infected with your passion for ideas and the drive to pursue them.

So for that I thank you.  I won’t ever be the same.  I will be better.

P.S. There’s still some Malibu in the fridge that needs drinking.

P.P.S. That MacBook really needs more ram if you give it to someone else.

Nice Things :)

I was taking the bus to work today and there was a guy sprinting down the street, obviously running towards the next stop bus.  Bus driver slowed down and gave two honks to say, “Hey, I can see you.  Wanna hop on?”  So the guy did and was appropriately appreciative.  Now I feel all warm-hearted and Christmasy >: (

Remembrance Day

Dear mumsie,

Thanks for instilling in me the importance of Remembrance Day.

Lunch in the City – Sankyu 2 Go

10347 Jasper Ave – in between Kabsa and Axis Cafe

M-F 11am-8pm, Sat 12-5pm

Cost: $10 will get you 2 salmon sushi and an order of salmon maki.  Note that you’ll be wanting a mid to late afternoon snack.

Someone needs to tell me how often a 28-yr old female can safely eat sushi, in particular salmon, on a weekly basis.  I’m pretty sure I’m blowing over the limit on this one as I can’t stop going to Sankyu 2 Go on the southside of Jasper Ave, between 103st and 104st.  Last week was 3 times, 4 times?  I’ve lost count.

Here’s a link to their menu, courtesy of the ever-handy urbanspoon, as their own site is under construction.

Also good to know, they have customer appreciation cards – spend more than $7.50 five times and they’ll give you a $5 gift certificate.  Not much, but since I’m going anyways…
