Unexplained Phenomenon

I'm sorry, what? Hello? Yes, yeah. Hi! I'm back. At least, for a little while, anyways. I dunno. Heh. So uh. How are you? How are you doing? :3 I'm goooood. Still studying for my law exams. That's basically my whole life, right now. >_< Yep. Eight or nine hours each day and sometimes six days out of the week (alternating weekends). Clearly, these photos were taken on my "off" weekend. Hehe. *^_^*

I didn't even do anything fancy, but I still wanted to dress up. I was excited to feel the sun on my face, get some fresh air, be among other humans, etc. Heh. We took the train to a fantastic little brunch place downwind of a sci-fi/fantasy bookstore that I wanted to visit. Yes, a sci-fi/fantasy bookstore. Best. Store. Ever. They only had like six Dragonlance books, though, which I was super disappointed about. I recently started to rebuild my childhood collection and I have close to a dozen books that I've been trying to keep an eye out for and I just can't seem to find them at any bookstore. I really felt like I was going to strike gold with this specialty bookstore, but alas. My tastes are just too esoteric. Hehe.

Ah, speaking of esoteric, I stomped out of the bookstore and waited for my Player Two outside on the sidewalk and a nice lady walked up to me and said that she loved my blazer. :3 Good feelings restored. Hehe. I thrifted this couch-tastic vintage blazer for less than $10. It has all kinds of loose threads. It's basically well on its way to falling apart, but I'm keeping it together as best as I can. ;) I added the crop top, chunky platforms, spiked shorts, scary sunglasses and ripped tights for an edgy, hard and soft vibe.

This very convenient alley was just off the busy street outside of the bookstore. After dodging some stray bipedal interlopers and four-wheeled slow driving oglers, we re-joined the hustle and bustle of the street; stopped into a nearby bakery for coffee and dessert and then made the long journey back to home base. I can't believe there are only two subway lines here. Two! >_< It takes forever to get anywhere. Gahhhhh. I'm still happy to be here, don't get me wrong. Just easing into the whole incessantly complaining city dweller thing. ;) Speaking of city dwelling, I had thought that moving to a larger, multi-cultural international hub would afford the benefit of blending in. Something I just couldn't seem to do effectively in the Midwest (or the South, where I'm from originally). Unfortunately, I'm still getting double takes, long stares and the like. *sigh* It is what it is. I just have to give no fucks and stare right back at them, yeah? I guess I'd rather garner interest than be a forgotten soul with a blurred face.

Just came to see whether you had another post! Don't know why, I am nearly quite sure I wrote a comment on this post, but I guess there was a problem and it didn't go. So sorry! Hope you have a very beautiful day!

You're BACK!!! And you're HERE!!! We should get together some time when you're not studying your brains out. When will that be?

My husband got his third law degree at Osgood years ago.

I can't believe you moved to Toronto! I thought you'd wind up somewhere like Japan for some reason.

What type of law do you hope to practise?

So how do you like it in Toronto? Aside from the fact that TO only has two subway lines. I think you need to learn the street cars. Seems to me they are everywhere. At least it feels like that when I drive into the city. They are awful to drive on.

We really should try to get together though! I'd love to meet you.

Drop me a line...contact@suzannecarillo.com.

So fun to see you again!

Suzanne

Haha! Hi! :DDD Woah, third law degree? Man, I was OK with just having one. Hehe. Yeah, I really wanted to go back to Japan. I still do. University positions are extremely hard to get over there and the law related positions are few and far between. I'm pretty much committed to hunkering down in Canada, though I'd still be open to a temporary placement in the land of the rising sun. :P

Toronto is cooooool. Hehe. I've found various benefits and drawbacks over the last five months, but I'd still rather be here than in the dumpster fire that is now the U.S. o_O

Getting together would be awesome, by the way! I basically only have two free days each week (sometimes just one). Soooo, I'm not sure when this meeting will happen, but I don't plan on going anywhere any time soon. So, yeah. Haha. It'll happen eventually! <3

    I'm fond of artistic fashion, esoteric music, retro games (the older the platform, the better), delectable noms, good libations, my Maine Coon, Bonaparte, and my Tabby, Winsome.

    Also, I attended university in Hyogo Prefecture and I am proficient in Japanese.
