[NON BLOG] Toronto to Date
Jul. 2nd, 2004 05:42 pmI moved in yesterday morning, arriving at my new address at a quarter after eight o'clock, just a few minutes before the movers arrived with my materials. Some scheduling problems ensued--the person whose room I was moving into didn't arrive until noontime, while the person who was going to help another resident move entirely from the house didn't come until the same time frame--but all in all things went well. I haven't unpacked, since I don't have any furniture.
I've seen some interesting things so far: a guy on Queen Street West asking me for all my change so that he can buy a sandwich; a guy a bit younger than me talking to his girlfriend (of mixed Swedish Jewish, Ukrainian, German, and Anglo ancestry, apparently) about how glad she wasn't born in Germany; car drivers of presumably Greek ancestry driving down Yonge and Church Streets, waving the Greek flag as they went, following their country's recent victory in soccer.
