VIVE LA FRANCE...oh darn...

ah well, so italy won. i don't think they deserved to win - i don't even think they deserved to make it to the final, but champions are not always the most well-deserving. i'll give them the fact that they won the penalty shoot-out fair and square (barthez didn't stand a chance) but really, france were playing far better than italy for most of the 90 minutes. and what was with zidane headbutting the italian player??? dude, you're a soccer superstar in what will probably be your last world cup game - go out with some class, will ya???

friday: lovely and unassuming evening with business woman. did a bit of shopping (bought a beautiful pink and white strapless dress for $50, suh-weet!), did a bit of eating (butter chicken and paneer jalfrezi, droooool...) and did a bit of meandering up yonge (where we gave the leftovers to a homeless man, who hesitated before taking them, asking if it was 'spicy' - cracked me up, that's fo sho).

saturday: night on the town with miss suzy-q and her band of old high school friends. easy on the fifth was our destination and decked out were we! it was the usual meat market scene...the guy i laid eyes on i think was gay, as he was with another man and ignored all advances from women, focusing his full attention on his male friend alas...suzy-q got some lip action but that was about it. i just tried to get my groove on with the on and off musical stylings of the dj that night. i mean, 'home for a drink' by spirit of the west??? while i loved that song in my days at waterpoo, gimme an effin break, this is NOT university anymore!!! quit reliving the past and play something decent! and in the same vein, 'engine engine number 9, on the new york transit line' yadda yadda yadda, YAWN...despite the music though, i had a pretty fun time and it was great to finally meet the other half of suzy-q's world! the two halves finally collided, yay!!!

corso italia/world cup match: not too many stalls - i think everyone was too busy watching the game - stood outside a bar, standing on my tippy toes, trying to get a glimpse of the tv screen. lots of scantily-clad women waiting to pick up the pumped-up men after the game milling about, the italian flag being made into tiny tube tops and mini skirts. had an orange freezie and some water to beat the heat; left after the 90 minutes and ended up watching the shoot-out at a bar near yonge and eglinton. went with ferris and jmo - great to meet up, woohoo! went home to a happy chili and a seafood dinner, YUM...

ooo, gotta call brown goddess and fill her in on the gossip...

world cup withdrawal about to commence...

Go Italy! Ultimately, I wanted Brazil to win, but I guess it was between France and Italy so I chose the latter.

Glad you're having a blast back in the city. I'll see you on saturday???
