Jackie managed to drag me out of the house today, for which I'm very glad. Much better than moping around at home. :)

Despite me running quite late, Jackie still managed to out-late me so I arrived at Flinders St Station first. I bought her freakishly coloured blue orchids from the flower vendor dude while I was waiting around (though I really shouldn't reward her for her tardiness).

A really cool thing that happened while I was waiting was that this really, really hot blonde woman walked past me, and I thought "damn, she looks really hot... if only she were gay." And then! she totally walked towards another girl, whom she hugged enthusiastically, and they proceeded to hold hands and lace their fingers together. Hot Blonde Girl then brushed the hair away from the face of Other Girl, and I was like awwwwww. It kinda made my morning. Also, it's good to know my gaydar is still working perfectly. :D

Jackie and I went to the Women of Colour lunch/meeting at Loophole in Abbotsford where I (re)met a bunch of the WOC girls, and saw Juliana again for the first time in like, two years. It was cool to meet some new people, and Julz made awesome ratatouille.

Afterwards, Jackie and I had dinner at Hu Tong Dumpling Bar, which had surprisingly awesome xiao long bao. I don't think I've had such good xiao long bao, ever, outside of China. It was really good seeing Jackie again, too. We talked about linguistics, and vowels, and the vervet monkeys of East Africa right through dinner. Conversation <3.

The only bad thing about today: I had to pay $10.50 for my metcard because I no longer have a concession card. Omg wtf so expensive. I totally miss being a jobless student. >.<

I don't think I've ever had dumplings with vinegar, but that's largely because I think I've only had them in soup :D

I need to introduce you to the pleasures of other kinds of dumplings, one day!
