Don’t have cable. Haven’t missed it coz I’m OD-ing on all 10 seasons of Stargate SG-1 my favorite show!
For all the non-nerds, Stargate SG-1 chronicles the adventures of a team of interplanetary explorers who travel million of light years through the universe to other planets by means of a Stargate. It creates a wormhole between two Stargates and allows matter to pass through and be reintegrated on the other side.
Wormhole being established in the gate on Caledonia.
The event horizon of the wormhole
I’m no physicist, just a lowly engineer BUT even though the means of transportation between two worlds millions of light years away seems implausible, I love the idea that other forms of life exist on other planets.
Ah SG-1 thank you for hours and hours of entertainment! And thank you Teal’c for using the word indeed so often I have no choice but use it myself!

I went to the Eaton center today to get some cardio and put my camera in my pocket in order to capture my adventure.
In the last couple of years I have become irritated everytime I’m assaulted with loud obnixious and unimaginative advertising. We’re no longer allowed to get away from it because the decibel level is increased just in case you walk away from your TV to go to the potty. DVR is the way to go and there is no other way I’ll ever get cable. Grrrr. I also don’t appreciate useless celebrities and the minutiae of their lives being thrown at me wherever I go. I DON’T CARE! But I’m sure others do, and to each their own, eh?
Okay. Here goes.
Old Navy Ad
… coz how will you walk, run and yoga without Old Navy?
For real?
Do they really want to hire someone coz this was in the dark right on the floor. I doubt many people see it!
Hmmmm....
Man boobs and crotch? As I was taking this picture someone came up to me to tell me I couldn’t take pictures infront of their store. I asked her why and she said it was store policy because I might try to copy their clothes or the front of their store. Obviously no one has taught her or their management any critical thinking skills because if that was my interest I wouldn’t be taking a picture of a 1/2 dressed mannequin. They should have a website, no? I could just go there. Better yet, I could purchase one, take it with me, copy it and then return it for a full refund in 30 days. Anybody going to Oz? You could take the girl!
Guitar Hero
So I lumbered off to the fun store, leaving old McGrouch and her ugly jeans (tee hee… never really saw her jeans) and looked at electronic devices. Right at the door there were two kids playing Guitar Hero. I’ve been curious about it but never enough to purchase it or play it or research it. So it was fun watching some people play.
B-A-N-A-N-A!
I passed by an interesting smoothie stand that probably goes through all these bananas in 1-2 days. It was a pretty impressive display if I do say so myself!
On the way home.
Walking around had me all hot under my multiple sweaters and people kept looking at me like I was crazy because of my black hoodie (scare from the shooting) so I decided to go home! I’ve been in lots of places where I see PATH. So now I have another mission! Find out what PATH is all about!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh
But could I get away from the advertising at Queen Station? NO!!!
Um.... one of the banks?
I discovered that PATH is a series of underground walkways in downtown Toronto that can get you from one place to another! Go figure! I’mma have to try it next time and see what it’s like!
I travelled from Queen Station to King Station and at the last minute decided to get up and walk back to my apartment. More cardio could never hurt. I found myself in the heart of the Financial district looking at the tall buildings that represent the major financial institutions in Canada.
Top Left anti-clockwise: Scotia Bank, RBC, Something blah, CIBC.
It was kinda empty and spooky. But a little further down…
Kit Kat Restaurant
The butt of a cow coming out of the building and the rest of it’s body stuck above it! It’s like a weird episode of Cow Stargate… sorta… I thought KitKat was a chocolate bar, BUT apparently it’s a cow, stuck between worlds while it watches it’s kin being eaten inside!!!
Fred who?
My BFF and I are planning to go here and ask for Fred.
In other news...
Mr. Tomato and Ms. Mushroom are planning to adopt children from Broccolia, which may prove to be a challenge because they are not officially married. However, vegetable adoptions have become an accessory in Greeneronia and all the famous veggies are out to procure one for themselves promising a short life on the shelf and a quick pass through humanoid gastric systems.
Rogers Center
My walk came to an end close to the Rogers Center where these human figures peek out to greet visitors to the center. The lady with the fake boobs ought to pass the card of her plastic surgeon to the guy with the belly hanging over the ledge! Damn!
Tired, but not exhausted and still miffed at the muppet with the bad jeans in front of the store whose name I can’t remember, my journey through Toronto had ended for today and I was glad to be out of the cold.
(Should have told her to go shove it!)
