i hate all types of city birds. eurgh.

shihad rock. and shihad is a way cooler name

final straw - snow patrol. saw them tonight and it was fantastic.

guys: south africans, dutch, swedish

i like cords too. i have chocolate brown ones and the camel ones you are talking about. good for cold toronto winters.

australia, canada, japan, switzerland for me.

pretty crap summer here in toronto too. only had a few days over 30 degrees.

some days you can go to Blue Jays games for a toonie! might go to the yankee vs jays game this weekend for 9 bucks. baseball on tv is boring as.

im disgusted that here in canada it isnt illegal to drive while talking on a cellphone.

those are really really slick. i like them alot.

Prince edward island, canada. im not kidding. bus loads of them get off to go see Anne of Green Gables. ...probably not "fashionable" though.

dig internet radio. http://www.abc.net.au/dig/ good mix of everything.

my parents have a nifty thermometer from australian geographic which sits in the den in our house in tokyo, the hottest its ever recorded the room getting is 47 degrees. the coldest -1. that is quite the shift in temps.

canadian customs is really the worst of the bunch (what ive experienced.) they are terribly rude and you always leave with a poor taste in your mouth. if its not you getting interrogated its standing in lines watching people who are. i always enter on my canadian passport to avoid interrogation, but it rarely works. and i get the usual "what are you doing here, how long are you staying/who are you staying with, where do you live, where are you going, what does your father do, why does he live in japan, what does your mother do" some of these questions are pretty innocent but completely unneces

i can handle anything up to the mid-30's during the day as long as it cools off at night. which during the summer time is unlikely.

was meant to see it yesterday, but it was sold out. Still want to see it though. Ive heard that M.Night Shymalans (sp?) movie formula is getting a bit predictable. Instead I saw The Manchurian Candidate. Which I thought was mediocre, but many others thought was good. I had a headache to start with though, so that might have contributed.
