So apparently, not only can I not find an early 2000s teen comedy at any retailer in Toronto, but apparently, I can't find toys at a toy store either! I swear, after drawing a blank at Wal-Mart, I walked over to ToyR'Us and after searching the store unsuccessfully, I went up to a sales person and asked where the yo-yos were sold. Imagine my surprise when she said, "We don't carry yo-yos".
!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I can't find a toy at the biggest toy store in Canada, where on earth is it supposed to be found?! It gives one furiously to think.

I can't find a teen comedy made in the early 2000s at any movie retailer in Toronto? What is the world coming to?!

Forgive me as I attempt to find the images from this website.
Camp was alright. I think overall, missing orientation week was a bad idea, which I probably knew when I agreed to it in the first place, but thought it wouldn't be that bad. But now I've come to fully realize how much someone like me needs orientation in order to meet other staff members. Fortunately, that sort of thing didn't affect me as far as job performance went. The job was alright all in all. The kids in my bunk were fantastic and made an otherwise unimpressive camp at least enjoyable. Another fortunate thing is how my co-counselor and I, along with our counselor assistant (or CA as they are frequently referred) were on the same level for the entire summer. I guess the only other really good thing from camp that I might miss aside from the kids are the nights (and rainy afternoons) we spent on the bunk porch discussing random things. I still did my job (and the jobs of other people), got heavy praise from those higher up on the chain, and was even offered a one week extension they apparently only offer to the best of their staff to be a counselor in "Camp Haze". Camp Haze is one week of camp they run for the children of the victims of 9/11 or something. I, of course, politely declined seeing as how DC was beckoning me.
And how was DC? DC was fantastic, probably due more to the company than anything else. I mean, come on, let's be honest here. Courtney was the best part of my summer. I remember about a week into camp, she randomly messaged me on facebook and I hinted at the time that I was feeling a little homesick. What ensued from then was a few load-unbearing conversations on MSN, letters, and personalized mix tapes. It's more than anyone's ever done for me in any situation. That all led up to my brief sojourn in DC at the end of my tenure at camp. So what can I say? It's always been like that with Courtney. It's one of the quirks in our relationship; we'll go for 2 months without even really speaking to each other. And truthfully, there just doesn't seem to be anything to say during these periods. Neither of us really know how to make desultory small talk around the other (not that either of us care to) and it's during those periods that I sometimes feel really disconnected with Queen's because she is the be all and end all of everything I associate with that institution. But then, we also go for 2 months where things just go extremely well. We'll hang out, eat, watch films, etc, and in this case, we'll write letters, she'll send mix tapes and life generally doesn't get any better. It's freaking weird. It's just another piece of inconsistency in my inconsistent life. I just wish I could get to a point somehow where things would be awesome between us consistently. Hey, I can dream can't I?
