This weekend I went to the Eaton Centre to run some errands. A couple summers ago, my brother bought me a Swatch watch and last week I realised that the battery was dead so I went to get a new battery. I asked the clerk how much it cost to replace the battery and he took it and said, “Nothing. Free”. I was pleasantly surprised by that news.
Then I went over to Uniqlo to get a hoodie. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size, but I managed to get 2 shirts. So not a total loss.
I was feeling hungry so I was going to get a sushi burrito from Rolltation. As I was walking, I saw that Canadian Tire had a sale on some stuffed animals. I went inside and saw a bunch that I thought would be perfect for my friend’s son’s 1st birthday and maybe a prop for my home studio. The only problem was, that they were too big to carry around Downtown Toronto at the dawn of rush hour.
So I went the following day (Saturday) and got 2 animals, one for my studio and one for my friend’s son. As I was walking back to the subway, I noticed a lot of people

looking at me. Kids eyes would light up and women would give me that “he’s so sweet” face. I have a feeling that they thought I had these toys to give to my Valentine since Valentine’s Day is coming up. But no it’s just a birthday present and a studio prop.
