Bowling Bowling Bowling

So Bowling is not a a sport, it is a game. Just needed to clear that up. Bowling also has the connotation of being a "traler trash" attracter. I'm sure that's politically incorrect. If you've ever been to a bowling alley though, you know what I mean. However, I've probably been about 4 times in the last 2 months. What else are you going to do on a Sunday evening? Well there's lots of things, but once in awhile bowling is a good option. I'm fairly competitive so it's fun trying to beat everyone else's score....my plan is to stop inviting people who are good bowler, jk. Who knows, maybe we'll start a league in the fall. We'll be most stylin' bowlers out there...

3rd Annual Elle Gala Event

On April 24, 2010 the 3rd Annual Elle Magazine Gala was held at the Carlu Hotel in downtown Toronto. This was my first time attending and I will definitely be attending again next year. Tickets were about $50 for general admission to the vendors/demonstratons and for the cocktail reception and fashion show in the evening. All the free swag and girftbags more than made up for that cost though. The cocktail - oh that was FREE. Yep free wine = a good time. It was really cool to see a real fashion show, VIP seating and all. It's pretty much an all day thing, with lunch provided. In the afternoon we left for a bit to go grab an early dinner and have some drinks at the Scotland Yard pub on the Esplanade - if you go have the sliders, amazing!

Watch It: Bones

So I have a friend and she loves the show Bones staring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz. I never really got into it myself, and never understood her love of it. Recently though she started lending my sister and I the seasons (they are airing Season 5 currently). Well I got hooked. I watched season one during any spare time I had. I'm not half way through season two and trying to catch up to my sister who had a week off and is almost done season three. I guess, probably like most people who watch it, I love the banter and relationship between Booth and Brennan (or Bones). They seem perfect for each other but the shows creators maintain the secual tension. The cases are pretty clever too, and the supporting cast roles are really developed and you really like all the characters. If you haven't watched this show before, give it a try. Some of the "bodies" and murder scenes can be icky but I guess they are just trying to be realistic (and if that's the case then ew!)
