Wow, I just finished watching Part 1 (of 17) 2 hour episodes of Canada: A People's History. This first part focused on the early beginnings, with the First Nations people, and the Europeans desire to find an alternate way to China, and the interactions. Also, the influential people who have left a legacy hundreds of years later. I learned a lot, and I hope to learn more as we watch more episodes.

I decided to make the tea journal on blogger to use the skin from Adagio. So I went to the pages, set it up, did a post and such, but just wasn't happy using blogger, so I deleted it. I mean, it looked fine and all; I just did not like the behind the scenes stuff. I also had immense trouble publishing the first post. If they come up with an lj skin or template, I will make one here. Or, if someone is good with code can look at the skins for blogger and convert them to lj, I could do that too.
Had yummy Chipotle for a late lunch. Had a veggie burrito with both black beans and pinto beans. Technically the pinto beans weren't vegetarian...I think they had pork in them. I didn't care, because I am *not* a vegetarian; I just order non-meat options from time to time. It was yummy, though I have half of it left because it was made as big as my head. :P
Headed to Borders for a bit after lunch, and then off to the Millenia Mall. Chas said I just missed Lesley and Jared in the Apple Store by mere minutes (I had to go to a different store for a few minutes first). Black Nano iPod. *drool* I wanted to go into Macy's because I still have my gift cards to use, and I wanted to look at a few things I have seen online, in person. But we did not have much time in the mall, because we had to hop across the parking lot and go to Mimi's Cafe for belated birthday dinner for his dad. And once we had finished eating, and saw the sky outside turn an evil shade of dark, we left and came home, so here I am, cozy in my jammies, at the computer.
I feel like lying down and closing my eyes. Maybe I will read some more of The Subtle Knife...lots of little plot twists, some of which I could forsee, are forming in the story. I am about halfway done with the book.
Maybe I will make some jasmine oolong tea to sip while I read. Sounds good...
