I love the windows in my room (except the big crack across one of them). We face the west so sunsets are nice and we get lots of light
Speaking of getting some sun, I’m excited for summer weather! It’s been cold the past few days, but it’s been bright and sunny which is great because I just bought another pair of Oakleys
The Oakley sample sale was back again on Thursday/Friday. Good thing it’s only a few minutes away from work
I walked over at lunch and there was a line already. Apparently, they opened the doors early -__- I’ll remember that for next year haha
I didn’t see the pairs I had looked at before but found one that was pretty similar. I’m guessing the early birds made off with the good stuff lol. I bought the Oakley Liv in Polished Black/Warm Grey for $120 no tax (or included, whatever). They’re $245 from the Oakley site. I went back on Friday and found the polarized version but I didn’t want to get 2 of the same pair lol

The case is actually quite big but it’s nice
This makes me think of the beach

On Saturday, I was the second shooter for Dave and Jen’s wedding. It was fun because I got to see a bunch of friends from Mac that I hadn’t seen in a while. The bride, groom and entire wedding party were great to work with, which is always a good thing
They were all so easygoing and relaxed!
Congrats, Jen and Dave!
Anyway, here are the mini cupcakes that I got to taste before the reception
It was so good! I’m not normally a big cupcake person but these ones were light and just the right size! I think I need to find out who made these!

I have to admit, I’m attracted to cool book covers. Yeah, I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I do it. The cover of Freakonomics got my attention! With a picture of an apple on the outside and an orange on the inside, how could it not? The title itself was catchy enough!
Anyway, I started this book a few months ago and after reading half of it, I wasn’t that interested so I put it down until a couple of weeks ago.
The authors start out with a disclaimer that there is no unifying theme in the book. Even though the anecdotes and examples they used were pretty unrelated, they explored the difference between causality and correlation each time so I felt like there was an overarching theme.
Levitt and Dubner looked at the correlation between sumo wrestlers and school teachers, popular names and being successful, drug dealers living with their mothers and whether or not abortion decreased crime rates.
I’d recommend this book if you’re like reading about economics and society and how two seemingly unrelated ideas could actually be very connected.
Side note: I’ve since completed another book and just started another today so I’m behind on my mini book reviews

On a sunny Tuesday evening after work, Andrew and I decided to take photos along Queen West, west of the touristy area into the artsy, graffiti-filled neighbourhood. Here are a few shots:

Glee!!

I thought this was such a cute logo for Sweet Lulu, a Thai restaurant
