The
poverty gods are smiling upon me today - I managed to have one of those
evenings where I actually
enjoy having
no money. I can look at the sign at
Future Bakery that says "Slice of Cake and
Cappuccino for $5.99" with such
dramatic longing that
I wouldn't be surprised to find myself actually in a
film, one of those (possibly
fin-de-siecle, possibly
British) out-of-a-
novel numbers. And seeing as how I just watched
High Fidelity for the first time tonight, I might also like to have
John Cusack appear out of nowhere and, being
on the rebound, take me out for drinks and then
shag me rotten.
What I did end up with was a can of
tuna, an
avocado, and three
Mr.Noodles packages (I hadn't touched them in two years, what a
defeat this is) for
$2.27. I was so
chuffed that I gave the extra
loonie I had on me to a
homeless person on the way back to my house.
