Well, well, well. Look who's back in town. With an update. At last, eh?

What a vacation! At the risk of sounding like a tour guide, I'll say that Toronto's pulsing nightlife, European-style shops, diverse ethnic restraunts, and enchanting locals kept me so busy, I didn't have time to sleep, much less blog. Plus my mobile blogging attempts didn't work, because Rogers GMS network doesn't like my T-mobile phone (irritating, n'est ce pas?).

But here I am, broke and tired, with nothing to offer but a story - the story of a man named Jim (or as the ladies like to call him, Sex-machine) and a girl named me. I mean Larkin. I mean, you know what I mean. I'm the girl. Yeah, nevermind.


~WEDNESDAY~

I flew into Toronto Wednesday evening. To my delight, Jim was waiting for me at the doors just beyond international baggage claim, with a bottle of blueberry juice in hand. How wonderful to see him again! He flagged down a cab, and we hugged in the back seat all the way back to his apartment on St. George street. I recognized parts of the city from my last visit. Some things had changed.

We got some Thai food soon after at a place called Real Thailand. Grand stuff. I had some seriously awsome cold rice-paper spring rolls and spicy, basily shrimp. Hot damn. On our way home, we picked up some groceries. Even abroad, I need my morning bagel fix.
