More Star Wars

Yeah, Yeah, I know, almost all my blogs have something to do with Star Wars, at least lately. Well, that's not going to change anytime soon, at least not with this post.

In about two weeks it'll be May 4th, and you know what that means, it means it's time for the annual Star Wars day party. This time it's at a different location, the place it had been held at closed last year, so this year it's going to be at a bigger more accessible place called The Rec Room. It's near where we've been before for different events (CN Tower, Skydome, the convention centre etc), we'd never even seen it, and we walked right past it last year during Doors Open. We've got our ticket to go, and I can't wait because daddy is going to bring me up on stage during the costume contest this year.

Daddy ordered a new patch for his costume, and it got here last week, this one is really neat because it means daddy is also a pirate.
The top is what it looked like when it got here, the bottom is what it looks like now, way cooler I think.
Oh, and yesterday me and daddy went shopping, and we stopped in at my favorite Disney Store to say hi to my friends there. We also found a couple of new products from the new Solo movie, the rest is going to be released by the end of the month..... maybe.
The new backpack, it's neat but not something daddy wants

This water bottle is something daddy is likely to get
Last weekend we had a major storm come through on Saturday and Sunday, Sunday morning we woke up to this scene outside.
That's not all snow, some of it is ice pellets.
I should point out that the above picture was taken April 15th, 2018, we're not supposed to get that kind of weather in April, it completely messed up a large portion of our week. Thankfully the weather is warming up now, and most of that mess is melted away. Plus the large chunks of ice that were falling off the CN Tower have melted away (one large chunk smashed through the roof of the Skydome, causing the Blue Jays to play only the second doubleheader in the dome's history).

One last thing, daddy found a patch when he was looking at the Mando pirate patch, this one had a moral boosting motto on it, it went "God will judge my enemies, I'll arrange the meeting". Well, daddy converted it into something more in keeping with Mandalorian traditions. The new version goes "KAD WILL JUDGE MY ENEMIES, I'LL ARRANGE THE MEETING". Kad is the Mandalorian God of destruction, in doing research to find out about Mando beliefs daddy found that they are somewhat similar to the old Norse Gods (Odin, Thor, and Loki).
Here's what the patch would look like (it's just a rough layout for now), and it's kind of interesting for daddy to wear as the words are all in Mandalorian, so unless someone can actually read it, it's just another thing on his costume.

Oh, yeah, one more thing, on May 5th me and daddy are going to be attending a new comicon, this one is at a mall. Remember the mall we were dropped off at when we went to the Pet Expo? Yeah, that's where it's being held, and hopefully, we'll get to meet up with daddy's cousin Andrew (my granty Flo's grandson), and his partner Scotty.

Pets, Pets and more Pets Part 2

Well, me and daddy had loads of fun on Saturday at the Spring Pet Expo, although our day started and ended with a little bit of anxiety.
We live pretty close to the border of Toronto and Pickering, so in order to get to the Pet Expo, we had to travel almost the entire length of the city, and a little ways into Mississauga. This trip wouldn't have been so daunting if Wheel-trans could go all the way to the International Centre (where the expo was being held). Instead, we had to be dropped off at a mall near the border and once we got there found the information we had on bus routes was completely wrong, that would have been a major problem as it was still too far for us to walk. Luckily we have a backup source of transportation, UBER, so we were able to get a ride there and back to the mall (oh, and I have something interesting to tell you about that mall later).

Anyway, once we got there trying to find the area we wanted (small pets) proved to be slightly more difficult then we had thought (even finding our way back to the exit was a challenge). After wondering forever we eventually found the small pet area and found my prey new friend. As I told you in my last blog I really wanted to meet Otis, the Contential Giant bunny, well, I got to meet him. And we found out that Otis was already dabbling in the Darkside, so all it took was asking him to be my new apprentice. I can now introduce Otis, now called Darth Sito, as my new Sith apprentice.

Otis




Now Darth Sito

I was even able to turn another to the Darkside, his name is Dozer (he's a not so mini-pig) I've given him the name of Darth Rezod (other animals are already afraid of him, I witnessed a few dogs cowering behind their humans), and best of all Darth Rezod likes Crasins too.

There were a few people that wanted to pet me, and daddy had to tell them no because I was working. Well, daddy found a solution to that problem, he found a thing that is supposed to go over a leash that says DO NOT PET, the lettering is in black with a bright yellow background. Daddy had to alter it a bit so it would work for us, but it now has Velcro on it and goes on the front of my stroller, hopefully, people will see it and obey the sign. Sadly the other leash cover daddy bought, which said WORKING we lost on the way home, it wasn't nearly as important as the DO NOT PET one, but it still would have helped. Daddy asked the lady we bought the covers from if she could do a custom version that had SERVICE BUNNY on it, she said she could, but it would be something we'd have to order and have shipped to us, however, the cost was just too much for us to afford at the time.
My new sign, it's now got velcro on it so it stays on my stroller

If you look close there are some bunnies in the tunnels

A $25 voucher for our favorite pet store

Daddy got me and Chewie one of these rings.
 
 Okay, now I can tell you about the mall we stopped at. It's called Woodbine Centre, it was opened in 1985 and is the only other mall in Canada that has an indoor amusement park. The other mall is the West Edmonton Mall in Alberta.

Oh, and one last thing before I end this blog, last Thursday me and daddy got a new Blu-Ray movie, yep, we got The Last Jedi.
We watched it as soon as we got home last week.
