Oh, It's Love…

Today was the big day for all the IT co-ops. It’s our Co-op Cool Presentations. For an hour (or so), the co-ops present what we think is cool, technologically-speaking. This year, we had presentations on the future of laptops (Caroline, Jim and me) to Piezoelectricity to Music technology to Personal security. I think we did a pretty good job and wowing the audience. =]

In the beginning, Russ recommended that we should use a new name… a cooler name. We’ve settled with the name… Co-op Show and Share. Not thaaaaaaat much better, but it’s still better than the old one.

Today was gorgeoussssssss! Absolutely beautiful.

After work, I went for a bike ride around the neighbourhood. I managed to stop for a couple minutes in a park to just look at the sunset. Gorgeous.

I also encountered my first ever bike problem. The bike chain was not on the track on the back wheel. Emergency called Derek and he basically gave me instructions how to get it back on track. Whew! I got it working within a couple of minutes and peddled my way home.

Ahhhh. It was such a beautiful day to just be outside.
Nice warm weather. check!
Sun doesn’t go down til well after 8. check!
First signs of spring!

Jason turns 18 today. For his birthday, we went for some yummy Mongolian Grill. Mmmhmmm…. on top of that meal, we had one of the best cappuccino cakes. It was from Queen’s Patisserie. Absolutely delish.

In the morning, we grabbed some bread over at Amy’s Bread and pretty much spent the entire morning walking around Central Park. Later on, we shopped around Times Square for souvenirs one last time before we had to go.

At the JFK airport, there was a McDonald’s. Did you know that you can get a double filet’o'fish?

The ride back was pretty epic. Going from NY to Washington, we got upgraded to the Economy Plus with an extra 5″ of leg space. Charlie and I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. But we were in normal Economy class from Washington back to Toronto. Boy did we notice that 5″ leg space! We were so cramped.

It was pretty fun there. Lots of dinosaur fossils and what nots.

Today was pretty schedule-packed. Even though it was raining for the majority of the day, we didn’t let us hinder us at all. We went out to Spring St. Natural Restaurant for some brunch. After that, we walked around the Soho area to find Charlie’s Fred Perry bag and Kidrobot for some more toys. Uniqlo was the next store to hit. We all now officially own something by Uniqlo.

Pre-dinner was rice pudding at Rice to Riches and dinner was pizza at Lombardi’s. We forgot that Niles was lactose-intolerant…. so he ended up getting really sick. =[ Our bad! We had to hurry through dinner to catch a broadway show! Avenue Q was hilarioussssss. I’m so glad that we saw it.

Post-dinner was at Kyotofu. I had this soymilk soft ice cream sundae with kuromitsu whipped cream, mixed berry compote and matcha mochi. It was prettttty good! Post-post-dessert was meeting up with Calvin + co. at this korean bar. So jokes with singing Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys soooooo friggin’ loudly. good times.
