bone in sub

i finally got my ontario driver’s license! my 2 years 9 months of driving ‘illegally’ (even though my american license was valid) are over, and i can stop bringing my passport to bars. i still don’t understand why you only have 60 days to use a foreign license after you move here.

it’s maybe the first ID picture i actually look good in. the rest of them don’t really do me justice. i had a silly laminated ID card for orientation week in my first year of university that i looked really good in, but that doesn’t count.

the new ontario licenses are awesome. the picture’s in black and white, and like the health card there’s another little picture on it, but on this it’s old-fashioned hologram style with the zig-zag plastic that makes a horrible noise when you scratch it. also like the health card it has that stupid trillium flower all over it, but whatever.

two nights in a row (sunday and tonight) i’ve tried to go see the new batman movie, and it’s been sold out – weeks after it came out. i guess this is what happens when you live in a huge city.

i spent $150 on food in one day last week – groceries at a big 24-hour place, a small local place, a fruit market in my neighborhood, and m&m meat. a lot of it’s still left because no matter how much i love to eat, i can’t eat that much food in one week, but it has been a bonanza. i never really ate poorly before, but a ton of fruit and some really nice meat-centred meals as well as multiple-course meals have been wonderful. i haven’t gained any weight (thanks to my great genes), but i have felt unusually healthy! i’ve also been sleeping very well, maybe my prior sleep troubles were diet related.
