Cold cold cold...

It's cold.
People keep saying "But it's only November" and we're loving it. Things can only get colder from here.

Last week it snowed. It's only snowed twice since then, but nothing to really leave an impact. The strange thing is, there's still piles of snow in the city, like rubbish piles waiting to be taken away.
The temperatures haven't been warm enough to actually melt them.

Today is a nice day, and it's Aimee's birthday. We have rented a car just like we did for my birthday, and will take advantage of that by going shopping! No longer will we be restricted to buying only what we can carry on the subway, now we have a boot (trunk for you north americans) to fill up.

If you haven't been watching the latest season of the British motoring show Top Gear, watch it.
They cross the English channel in a car they converted into a boat. They raced through London and a bicycle won! They got stuck in an African desert, amazing stuff.

For our readers out there who keep complaining that we're not writing enough, "sorry".
Hehe, that word means a lot of things over here. Once on my way down to the laundry, I had it said to me 3 times within 2 minutes.
It seems to be a greeting - if 2 people touch on the subway "sorry".
It's also an excuse me - "sorry, can I get past?"
Or in last night's case - "sorry, I know you said Dacquari but i thought you'd like a Tanduay on the rocks instead"

Just cos she's from the philippines doesn't mean she automatically wants to drink Rhum.

So things here aren't interesting enough to blog every day, pretty soon we'll get bored talking about the snow, and how cold it is, and we'll have to revert to what those other bloggers out there do, ranting about their thoughts.
Nah...

So fun movie we watched last night, Mr Magorioum's Wonder Emporium.
Dustin Hoffman (meet the Fokkers) and Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta) are in charge of a magical toy store... bah, IMDB has a much better plot summary than I can give.
Just go watch it, it's good wholesome fun.

Also go play Call of Duty 4 - Modern warfare. Better yet, play it with surround sound on a 40" TV.
