Recipes from Vic’s Planet……

not that it’s been exactly sudden, but from my perspective just about everything is sudden (even for the eleventieth time) - but seriously… i think i’m harry potter world. come out of work at 5 to a lovely - if overcast - warm afternoon; sit on the corner for a bit because tra la laaaa i don’t have a freaking patio. YET. anyway. and now this:

Strong south winds of 50 km/h ahead of the cold front will quickly veer to southwest as the front sweeps through this evening. Strong gusts of 80 km/h with brief gusts to 90 km/h will accompany the southwest winds and are expected to last for one or two hours as the front passes through the area. (love, weather network)

fun, right? this is the part where i’m glad i live in a block of apartments. not that anything terrible would happen, but the clouds are moving so quickly they might actually get to the bahamas before bursting. not such a tough life after all.

have been working at a vegan/vegetarian restaurant for the past couple weeks called the Cornerstone, and loving it. working in the kitchen isn’t nearly as bad as it could be - not only is it open-air so i can see the people waiting/eating/shooting evil stares but the added bonus of not cooking meat is just lovely. not to mention the bit where i live right across the street. it might be a while before i venture to no frills again. the MAKE ME A SANDWICH line is still funny…for now…

otherwise i’m just about ready for summer! all my schoolwork and crazy auditions are wrapped up, minus my directing class - whose final project involves the actors i’ve been working with over the last two months to prove my work for me, i just get to sit back and sweat. happy happy joy joy i’m both excited and a little apprehensive about summer… as snobbish as it is to say i haven’t stuck in one place all summer in years, it’s true. this one will be all about the money making for next year, and the lazy days including guitars on porches, lemonades in the sun, all that jazz. jumping right into full time work wasn’t much more than i’d bargained for, i’m really enjoying it. especially the fact that i’m able to do it… two, what, something weeks and no boot yet! it’s kind of like working at camp, only with grownups and real money. weeeird…

also on the docket for this summer (this being more of a checklist pour moi, sorry): getting around to all that stuff i keep wanting to do. ie reading through the bits of theatre books i bought for classes but only had to read a couple chapters from; learning all those songs i printed out tabs for; making who knows what from all the stuff in my craft box; TAKING CRAMAZING PHOTOS WITH MY CRAMAZING CAMERA; making expeditions into toronto to see theatre as often as possible…. oh, what a difficult life i do lead… now if only t&d would GET here already!
