The Theme of Today was ‘Russian’
Karin and I went exploring Russian things. I don’t know why but I’ve always adored anything Russian, and having wanted always to go see such things going with a native today was even better.
Beautiful, eh? That’s at Troyka, the Russian Art Store.
That’s where I was introduced to Cheburashka / Чебурашка, this little guy whom everyone watched as a kid, kinda like our… Tom and Jerry maybe? Watch his adventures on YouTube here.
Then we went to Yummy Market where I got a chance to butcher their language, found some fish in a barrel and was poking them with some tongs.We got Russian candy and food and made a picnic in the studio, “look Karin, my sandwich is shifting gears!”
Then I dropped her off at Ryerson so she could attend an awards ceremony where she was a recipient of a Philosophy award, congratulations lady.
Belshoyeh spasiba Karin, ya loobleeyu Ruskava yazika.

Meet Evan
He’s sold me one million burrittos at Burrito Bandidos on Peter Street over the years.
More interestingly he’s got a comedy show with his troupe, Third Banana Comedy, coming up you might like; click here for the Facebook event page and here to meet them on Vimeo.
And don’t he and Kevin Rose look alike?
