A really nice feel-good movie!
Sunday, July 26, 2020
Watched Hitch featuring Will Smith, (Eva Mendes and Kevin James to name a few other faces I recognize) as it was being played on television earlier. I vaguely recalled my interest in the movie when it first came out as I enjoy anything that involves Will (tv-The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air/movies-MIB’s;Independence Day/family-RedTableTalk) and hadn’t seen anything with him in a while... what a good idea!

Although today's the last day of this fundraising adventure, it does NOT mean my own fun walk is done and over...my endeavour to this health and fitness cause remains a top priority!
Cherry on the top is that the last sponsor’s from my foremost bestie, the end!

Life of Pi
I had bought the novel written by Yann Martel when it was first published almost twenty years ago (2001) and was intrigued and excited to see how Ang Lee brought the story to life when it came out on film ten years later. However, I never got around to seeing it in theaters...which is ok because I FINALLY saw it last night on television!!!
Even though it's been some time since I read the novel (that has gone the route of 'who knows where' since moving a couple years ago), it was read pretty easily even though this it explored the issues of spirituality and metaphysics. The film brought back novel flashbacks of how Pi's name came to be, his life before, during and after his survival of the life-changing misadventure. I adore how Richard Parker's name came into being as well (I've actually google searched the name and there's quite the list for Richard Parker!!!) as it's so logical and practical.
It also showcased questions about the nature of reality, how it is perceived and told ESPECIALLY as isolation (something that doesn't seem very possible in this day and age unless it was arranged...but even then, it's a life choice to choose to be antisocial nowadays) was a main factor to Pi's life in the film. Although as I reflect about the concept of isolation now, I don't think this is imaginable for me. It's a fantastical idea now.

Yesterday, after a full day of work in a nice cool office environment, I was delighted to catch up with Jordan after dinner! As we live so close to one another, he came by my place and we walked over for ice-cream dessert at Sweet Jesus!!! As 'Hella Hazelnut' was all out, I was lucky to fall back on another favorite, 'Red Rapture' (which is vanilla ice cream, red velvet cake, cream cheese icing, raspberry sauce and meringue crumble)!!!
After purchasing our dessert in cups, we mosy-ed over to a parkette where we devoured our sweet treats...ideally better to have it melt in our stomachs than in the heat...DELISH treat with great companionship!!!
Then this morning mom and I stopped over at the North York Farmer's Market.

Brunch and Baby Shower!!!
However, I was only able to have one slice of my fabulous meal as Dad had ordered a Reuben so I split the other half of the sandwich him. Totally fine as this leaves leftovers for work lunch this upcoming week!
Afterwards, I stopped by Henry and Laurianna's drive-by baby shower up in Thornhill park. I literally dropped by to wish them a happy shower, took some photos of the awesome spread before taking off with a popcorn gift!
