Day Ten - A Walk In The City

Today me and Si decided to go and walk down to a bookshop we'd seen not too far from the apartment but when we got there it was closed, so we decided to hop on the TTC down to Bathurst and Bloor and go downtown and look in all the bookshops there. The sun was ultra warm today, it was a perfect day, real shorts and t-shirt weather. We spent a lot of time in 3 really big bookshops and I ended up spending too much money on books as I often tend to do (bad move - especially as it's bound to distract me from reading the books I actually have to for college.) I ended up purchasing:

The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson (for Phil, he'd stated he wanted to read it so I got it for him. Plus it's a great book with good memories for me.)
Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut
Queer by William S. Burroughs
Heavy Weather by P.G Wodehouse
Mere Anarchy by Woody Allen
The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell

I'm pretty happy with my purchases to be honest, and tomorrow before we go to High Park we are going to the bookshop that was closed, so I might well end up buying even more books (no need for the 'might', I will end up doing this.) Me and Si walked for about 6 hours in the end, it was nice to be out and about on such a great day, and finally we stopped for some food and a couple of pints at a place called 'The Friar and Firkin' near where Phil and Si's first hostel had been. Food was good, beer was good, and it was a well-earned rest!

We got back in the apartment about 9pm and relaxed our aching joints and then me and Phil and Tay went out to check out a couple of bars again. The first one was called 'The Delray Grill' and was the closest bar to the apartment. It was depressing and empty and felt really awkward in there, so we left pretty quickly and then went to a place called 'Axis' which was really nice. We chilled there until kicking out time and then wandered back to the apartment about 2am. Then we watched some weird French-Canadian film based in Montreal until about 4.30am, it was so goddamn strange, but I can't wait to get to Montreal! Going to read and relax in High Park tomorrow and that will also be great. I'm too tired, goodnight!
