Walking on Sunshine

listersgirlAnother weekend gone. *sniff*
At least I managed to not get sunburned again, despite all the time I spent walking on both Saturday and Sunday. I also managed to not clean my apartment or do my taxes, which is not so laudable. Oh well.
In my wanderings on Sunday, I:
1) Found the entrance to the ravine system, which was right where it should be. I still feel like there should be another entrance/exit somewhere along the route that I was running. I walked partway along, but it was going in the opposite direction than I wanted to be going so I didn't get all the way to the end. Another time. It's going to be a great place to run, though, assuming it's not too long.
2) Found the secret ravine shortcut to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarcasma and sanity_clause's new place, which was actually not a shortcut at all, since it took me longer to get there. Also I had to avoid the wee small children as the path went through a playground.
3) Was nearly run over by a guy who was using the St. Clair Reservoir stairs as a sprinting training ground. He was also making some really vile sounds, like he was about to puke, and talking to himself ("Come on! Faster! You know you can do it!").
4) Saw many, many dogs. Having them all suddenly appear when the weather is good makes me wonder if there's some sort of secret winter hiding place for dogs. Or maybe they all fly south for the winter along with the birds.
5) Finally walked by Casa Loma. It really is a castle. Huh.
6) Resisted the temptation to go back to the bakery I bought the tarts at last week, even though I walked right by it.
Then I went home and sat around reading and listening to the CDs that arrived at my post office last week. New CDs! Very exciting. New Rufus Wainwright, more Belle & Sebastian, The Nields, Sarah Slean, Nicks Cave and Drake, more Hawksley Workman, Le Tigre, other stuff that I can't remember right now.
Weekends are good, no?
