Lemongrass
I visited Lemongrass at Square One, Mississauga on Sunday evening with my Mother. The one thing about going to a restaurant with my mom, is that she has a really good taste for food. She can tell if the oil was old, and many things like that, of which I would be clueless about. So, on our adventure at Lemongrass yesterday, my mom complained that the food was too cold. She likes it steaming hot but it was lukewarm. On top of that, half of it was warm, and the other half was cold. This indicates that the food was MICROWAVED!!! I convinced my mom to ask them to warm it for her. She didn't want to, but I knew she wouldn't enjoy it lukewarm/cold, so eventually she did ask. It is pretty disappointing to go out for dinner, and have microwaved chinese food! I guess it must be true, that a lot of places may not make food fresh, but I guess I just don't want to know about it.
Regardless, I enjoyed the food. Its not the best I've had, but its definitely not the worst. Funny thing though, eating the Sinagpore Vermicelli leftovers today, it tasted way better today than it did yesterday! Oh, maybe it is because a bit of the Lemongrass chicken was mixed into it.

Homeless in Yorkville?
I learned something interesting this weekend about those who beg on the streets of Yorkville. Both yesterday and today I offered food to homeless people on the street, and in both instances they refused!!!
The man today was begging in a loud voice about how he was soo hungry. What a lie. All he wanted was money. Do these people have no shame? When I offered him my leftovers he had had no interest. So I walked away disgusted.
The first supposedly homeless man on Saturday was an older man who was sitting in the floor with a blanket. When I asked him if he wanted my leftover noodles he said no! That it had too much sodium.
If someone is truly hungry they will eat anything. Period!
This was the first time Ive had homeless people refuse food. It just reinforces my belief to never give them money.

Vending Machine Fun
An odd thing happened to me. Well, it happened in two parts. I am taking a screenwriting workshop this weekend, and as part of the schedule we get two breaks. One break is before lunch, and the other is after lunch. The people attending this workshop seem to be from all walks of life. It isnt a cheap workshop though, I think I paid around $99 with a voucher deal but its claimed to be a value of $349. I would be surprised if anyone paid full price though, as it is a lot of money for a basic course.
During the first break, I went down to the vending machine. As I was looking for change, there was an middle aged man at the chips/chocolate vending machine. As I was waiting for him to be done with the machine, I noticed that it seemed like he was having a difficult time with the machine. So, I spoke with him and asked him if the machine was working and he got what he wanted. He told me that he wanted the Caramilk, but the machine gave him an 'Oh Henry' instead, but he cant eat that, because he is allergic to nuts. He offered for me to go ahead of him, but I said no, that I would wait.
So, as I watched, he put in his money into the machine again attempting to get a Caramilk again. He told me he pressed C-6 last time, and I watched him try again. I watched, as he pressed C, then 5. He did not realize that he kept pressing C-5. I noticed right away, and pointed it out to him. He told me he couldnt really see. I guess he has weak eye sight but he wasnt wearing glasses. He put both Oh Henry bars on the top of the vending machine, and told me someone else can have it.
I felt bad for him. Even though I was planning to get a bag of chips, I decided to get the Caramilk for him and I took the two Oh Henry bars.
Fast forward to the second break. No one was around when I decided to get a can of Coke from the vending machine beside the one I used at first break. I only had a five dollar bill, so had to go to the registration desk and get change. I ended up with three loonies and 8 quarters. I decided to use the quarters to buy the Coke. My money kept getting spit back out by the machine. I didnt realize this until almost all of my quarters had been put in. I took back my quarters and tried one again. Same thing. I thought that was weird. I decided to press the Coke button for the hell of it, and see what happened. Guess what?! A can of Coke came out. I tried pressing it again, but nothing.
Basically today, I ended up with a free bar of chocolate and a free pop. What are the chances? Do these adults have no idea how to use a vending machine? Someone must have put money in and walked away. I'm just shocked....

Trips and falls
I am not sure what is going on with me. I have been pretty clumsy the past two days. Either yesterday morning or the morning before, my foot just slid on my driveway taking me to the ground. It was like a sheet of ice but you couldnt tell. The temperature was warming up quick too.
Now today I tripped climbing up the GO Train stairs to the top floor. Im not even sure how I tripped there. I think my boot just slipped on the dust/dirt :p Im guessing 'll having bruising on my right thigh and left shin. Thats where it hurt, and it hurt quite a bit.
Its funny, that I felt like crying but it really didnt hurt that much. I think I was more hurt that no one cared and no one asked if I was ok. There was a man that was climbing the stairs in the other side at the same time as me who said nothing. There was even two guys behind me that said nothing. Really.
Oh great, now Im starting to feel aches and pains... The side of my foot and my right knee :s.
I think I'll have to buy grips for these boots.
