Another hot weekend! And to boot, I came down with the flu. Achy everything; sore as sin throat; fever. Fever is so wonderful when the outside temperature is +40°C with the humidex and you’ve no central air. So, Friday and Saturday were – literally – spent in bed. Slept a whopping 22 hours straight Friday thru Saturday.

We visited the construction site and saw the million dollar condo is coming along well
... omg, save money!

You couldn’t pay me a million dollars to live right downtown Toronto (bleck, ick!) but if forced to, I’d probably pick Spire … it’s so pretty. The picture of St. James Cathedral with the CN Tower in the background was neat cause it looks like someone photoshopped the Tower in eh?

After antiquing at St. Lawrence North (I was keen on buying the ice crusher I saw there two weeks ago but it was gone), we headed to Chinatown for some wonton noodle soup and ja leung. G has been on a mission for a month for ja leung. Success was found at Gold Star! Yummy! FYI: Toronto has the largest Chinatown of any in all of North America.

3) ja leung; 4) a renewed market reopens complete with dragons!

On the way back down from Fairview Mall this afternoon, I thought of willariah‘s homage to the ridiculousness that is TTC advertising and took a shot of this entry into that hall of shame. It’s almost as if the TTC’s marketing director and it’s entire marketing department is stuck in the 1950s. I do know the TTC’s marketing director actually and I’m …. well, I’m not going to say anymore than that.
