Another weekend gone by

So I bought a keyboard last week during my slight mental breakdown. I decided I needed to be musical. The problem with this is that I am not and now own a keyboard but have nothing to play. I was tempted to ask my next door neighbor, a pianist, knowing he offers piano lessons, but probably my horrific lack of talent would shock him so much he may move... This being said, I set off Friday afternoon to go to a music store to try and purchase music books, maybe Jazz piano, or just random sheet music (possibly Twilight score to fuel my obsession.)

Somehow I was distracted from this, oh food with that Boostier and shopping with that Samool might have done me in. I accomplished nothing but getting sweaty as hell and ofcourse running into an elementary school friend looking like ass, not having showered ofcourse, cause I figured why bother...it was hot.

The weather took a turn for the worse later in the afternoon, but thankfully, because actually the rain made it less humid and hot, if possible. The sky looked like it was coming down though. Pretty scary.

The "cool" didn't last for long, as the next morning, setting out for breakfast at Mike's and some Luigi's pizza, it was hot as hell again. We spent most of the afternoon chilling indoors at a friends place sweating on ourselves and hanging out.

This hanging out business did not exactly help my need to figure out how to play the musical instrument I just purchased. I was still stuck playing part of the only song I know. I ended up on the phone with a drunk friend who did tell me 10 notes of a song by the Decemberists. So pathetic. If only I had perfect pitch.

So this store opened up on the corner of Vanderbilt and Prospect Place called Milk Bar. It was a restaurant that had been closed for what may be years called Garden cafe, and now finally, it has been replaced by something that is at least open. Since it's opened I've passed it every morning, but had not brought myself to betray my usual morning spot, Joyce. So, this weekend was my first time trying it out. Maybe I'll make it my Monday spot as the people that I like at Joyce only work Tuesday through Friday. Anyway, they have this great "australian iced coffee" which is essentially a coffee float. So good. The place is done up pretty nicely and I guess serves food.
