Madison

Friday May 6th 2005, 9:00pm

Watched "America's Next Top Model" uncontrollably. Glad to see Deer-face got the boot. Three cheers for Naima, despite tardiness.

10:30 pm

Sitting at bar in U of T neighbourhood bar Madison reminiscing as usual. Remember our trip to Cuba over two years ago? Think we'd recognize the friends we made there, Nada and Kenana, if we were to run into them? Sure, probably. Do you believe in God? Nah.

12:30 am

Walking from one room to another in mammoth Madison. Feel squeeze on ass. Turn to face perpetrator and give puzzled, ticked expression. Very handsome ass-grabber confesses his crime: "I'm the one who just grabbed your ass", he says calmly. "Why?" I reply. "It looked like a good one to grab." I flip hair with as much feminist gusto as I can without totally deterring handsome ass grabber. I never see him again.

12:35 am

Relocated in another room to listen to guitar player/singer while piano man is on break. Shocked and amazed by appearance of Kenana, the girl from Cuba discussed previously, and recognize her promptly. Alcohol may have delayed Wendy's reaction slightly, however recognition ensued shortly thereafter. Still don't believe in god? "I believe!"

1:30 am

Spend next who knows how long talking to this fellow with the crooked hat. Crooked hats, particularly trucker hats, are immediate deal breakers. We tell him to straighten his hat. He drops the "g-friend" bomb after twenty minutes of chatting us up, which is fine since he had a crooked hat. He tells a long and romantic story about how his girlfriend is from France and is going back forever on Tuesday. Tuesday will be the hardest day of his life. Blah blah blah. I imagine it might have been an elaborate lie to make us feel sympathy for his poor, brokenhearted soul.

Time unknown

Walk back to Wendy's mother's apartment which is free for use while mother is away on holiday. Love the fact that bar was five minute walk from apartment. Hate suburbs.

7:00 am, Saturday

Wake up to shriek of alarm. Wendy off to work. Jess off to dentist. Neither fun. Now time to sleep.
