uhohh

i haven't updated in ages, getting lazy... uhohh... but other than that there's no uhohh to be mentioned as life continues to be great. yay for fun.

lets see if i can remember stuff that's happened since the last entry...
end of april we enjoyed a zombie dance by talented semi-dead-person-neesa at the international dance day festivities. shortly afterwards jose helped me in my move to anf's apartment where i now have more space, live far from work, but only a 10min walk from the beaches. beaches! yaaay beaches. if only it was super hot all the time. actually, it was on the weekend, so: if only i was near home some of the time?

during the move jose managed to infect me with some horrible cold virus and i was out for two days and sick for about two weeks after. but now i'm healthy. (this time really, dan!) and then kate came to visit! yaaay! but right when i was sick... booo. so poor kate had to hang out with sick nadja at home, but we still had fun talking talking talking and watching movies, and went for a walk on my oh-so-close beach. we also visited an aviation museum with cool old planes and then leah came, too! yaaay :). they figured out the metro system within minutes and were amazing at navigating the city while i was at work. in the evenings we met up to explore toronto. they also saved my life one saturday morning at babysitting, where the crazy kids were running around as if on ecstasy.

old planes and old friends

and theeeen dan came! yaay :) so many visitors all at once, twas very fun. the four of us haven't seen each other in about 5 years, so there was a lot of catching up to do. and empanada making. and weeds watching. looots of weeds watching. and chocolate! dan and i were planning to go to an amazing chocolate fountain chocolate chocolate festival, which turned out to be crap. so the next day, since the weather was bad, we stayed at home and had chocolate fondue for lunch and then for desert. soooo good.

once every one was gone my new house was empty, awww. but soon another weekend showed up - toronto circus festival! yaay. there were amazing acrobats, trapeze artists, jugglers, cute kids, water kite making, a toronto island excursion, a night of home-made cocktails (a newly torontonianised couchsurfer used to be a bartender, veeery convenient), and lots more fun stuff. as always, neesa and i managed to fill every day of the week with something... swimming, capoeira... and more but my mind is blanking :)

then this weekend was faaantastic as well! chocolate binge party at maria's, day of doors open toronto (running around from one famous building to the next), sangria party night (soo good homemade! with fresh strawberries, oranges, cherries, apples, pineapple... mmmmmm) at gail's, a nice long morning video chat with charles, and then a full day of street performers and sunshine. twas a good weekend :)

toronto and tiaras

now it's time for more tissue culture and mental preparation for my meeting with my boss this afternoon, to decide what i'm to do over the next few weeks. yay for fun toronto :)

(as usual, one, and that means YOU, must be patient when waiting for photos... - but not anymore!)
