LE GOURMAND
I woke up really sore this morning. Not sure why, maybe the body is just saying “wtf man, chill out.” I guess I will … sorta. So, let’s see, hmm, I’m thinking I need a proper footrest at work. I have a habit of putting my feet up when at the computer. In my old joint, I used to use an old beat up subwoofer. There are none of those lying around now, so I’ll have to improvise.
I find that I’m thinking about my morning coffee a lot while on my way into work on the train. Does that mean I’m addicted? Possibly, but it’s the local shop around the corner, Le Gourmand (which happens to be right next door to a Starbucks) that has got my taste buds desiring their deep roast blend, Black Gold.
Outside Le Gourmand
I’ve never really liked the darker blends; I used to find them too strong, too bitter. But Black Gold is exactly that. It’s black and it’s gold to taste. Cham, if you’re reading this, I think you’d really dig this place. Le Gourmand is a nice little joint that makes a selection of pastries, soups, salads, and fresh sandwiches. I highly recommend it.
Inside Le Gourmand
If anyone reading this knows of some stellar coffee outfits in downtown T.O. please let me know.
I’m really enjoying working here, but it’s not just the work I’m doing, it’s the other little things as well. Everything is a mere walk away, and I’m starting to see how much of a convenience that is. The banks are close, restaurants offering every type of food are close, computer stores are close, novelty stores are close, and heck, even Chapters Book Store is close. Loving that.

Dawkins tackles it all in his no holds barred approach to whether God exists. The stance? The probability of it? Very unlikely.
"Hopes and Fears” and “Under The Iron Sea” by Keane get constant play from my iTunes. Find out why their music is so good. After all they were the band that inspired Coldplay.
As Marcus Fenix, you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Time to pull out the stops in a game that delivers the next-generation in tactical combat systems in Gears of War.
