Today our PM seemed to be happy with the way things went over this past week so he decided to release us early. Although, he and the team lead wanted to head to a bar patio at Queen and John to have a few drinks and we were all invited. As much as I’ve been foul and isolationist, I decided that it would be best to join in this time. As I keep saying, I don’t normally drink, but I did put back two Labatt 50′s and a pint of Rickard’s White.
I drew the line after the third one because I knew I had to drive home. I didn’t head for the subway right away because I knew I had to burn some of the alcohol off. So I decided to walk a few kilometres to Yonge and Bloor. About midway through I started feeling the need to visit a bathroom, but I figured that I’d be able to hold it. When I got to the station the urge became stronger. When I got back to my car, sitting down was tough because everything shifted around and I was feeling pressure where there was none. I did make it back home on time, much to my relief (HA!).
Oh, but anyway, back to the Friar & Firkin for a moment. Once in a while I write about cases where the Venn Diagram of my existence and the TV world have small places of overlap. Today I had one of those cases. See, Queen and John is right by 299 Queen Street West, formerly known as the CHUM-City Building. That place always has a lot of TV stuff going. Just the other day Fall Out Boy were doing a QA session there. Anyway. On the patio, I spotted this guy carrying his little dog and having a seat at the next table over. He looked familiar to me but I couldn’t pinpoint exactly where I’d seen him before. I didn’t want to stare at him either because that would be rude, embarrassing, and other unpleasant adjectives. Oh, but it finally clicked. The guy was one of the judges/choreographers from So You Think You Can Dance Canada: Blake McGrath. I kind of laughed to myself when he ordered himself a big old plate of french fries. I guess the dude needed the carbs, yeah?
Anyway, to those that make a big deal out of today: Happy Halloween. Hope everyone has fun!
