Food Not Bombs and other free stuffs

Today I went to Food Not Bombs for the first time. It was good times, I went with one of Kunoichi's roomies and when I got there I also ran into my friend TKJ (Dreads' and Gut's new roomie). It was an interesting experience; I cooked stir fry with this French girl and then took my bike downtown and met everyone to give out food. After we gave out food, I was told there was a party at the coop that night, so I took my bike back and waited for everyone there(it's faster than the subway most times).
The party was decent and TKJ stayed there so we chilled a lot, the music got good before we left so some dancing did go down (including a pretty cool bboy). However the best things were happening after we started to leave.
TKJ was a bit drunk and wanted McDonalds, I agreed after a bit of convincing since he was treating because I usually don't eat there. We got in line and started to wait when we spotted two drunk girls and this guy making a huuuuuge mess with their food, TKJ saw the opportunity and we took their seats as soon as they left. After sifting through some empty containers we found 4 nuggets, a full coke, part of a sandwich and a ton of fries, that with the sandwiches we ordered made the whole thing awesome. Before heading out TKJ filled the empty coke cup with ketchup and got a lid.
As we were walking home we noticed a bike leaning against a telephone pole unlocked! The chain was dead but the rest of it was nice so we walked it to TKJ's place where Dreads could probably fix it up in no time.
I continued past their place and decided to check a few dumpsters on the way home with the phone flashlight. All of them came up dry except the locked pharmacy dumpster, after squeezing in with my jacket on I was able to rescue:
10 Cans of Coke
2 Bars of White Chocolate
1 Bag of Brownie Mix
4 Chocolate Pudding
4 Strawberry Applesauce
1 Carton of Chai Tea Latte
I got home and Ting was just about to go out and get Coke so I got there just in time, I put everything away, ate a bit and headed to bed.

Theatre Acrobatics and lonely diving boards

Today, (well yesterday at this point) I was in theatre class when the class was split and sent to different rooms to hear people tell individual stories. The room we went to was a small all black theatre room with four rows of seats and an awesome very climbable looking grid of metal rods halfway to the ceiling. I wanted very badly to ascend the ladder and have a good time messing around on the top of the thing, but teachers and students and class were all hindering me, so I'd have to wait for a window of opportunity to explore a bit. As people told their stories for the class I thought about swinging around on the bars and checking out the catwalks.
As we left the room I considered hanging back and waiting for the room to empty itself but that would be too obvious unless I hid during the bustle of the mass movement. We returned to the main auditorium only to have the main professor tell us that we would have a quick five minute break. I grinned to myself, I was all to happy to slip into the hallway and return to the black theatre on my own. I got into the room, happy to be alone and quietly went up the ladder, once at the top I gave myself a quick tour of the catwalk which went along three sides of the room, I tested my weight on the metal bars and they seemed to shake a bit, I was disappointed. I had decided to return to the ladder and head back to the auditorium when I spotted another ladder concealed behind the cage around the first one that led up to a false ceiling, I quickly flew up that one and was happy to see a bunch of graffiti from previous adventurous students, I looked around at the dusty vents and ceiling slats and then marked "Urban Nokizaru" in pencil on an insulated pipe then headed back down to the catwalks.
I decided that I would try the metal grid once more before heading back to class, this time at the opposite end of the room. The grid seemed sturdy at this point but I got down on all fours QMing to distribute my weight "just in case" (also it was scary as shit to walk around on the 3 cm diameter metal pipes that were covered in dust and wiring). I made it my mission to cross the room on the grid and return. It was sketchy and I spent a lot of time slowly testing the strength of the individual bars but I eventually got across and back, then down the ladder. As I returned to class I was just in time to catch the middle and end of this PUA/magician guy's story about how he likes impressing people. The prof and her TAs gave me a weird look but probably thought nothing of it as I sat down and vanished into the mass of late students who sat around me.
I didn't dive tonight, no time, well there was but I didn't capitalize on it at all, instead I worked on a paper (which I have yet to finish, bleh) tried with Kusa to meet and chill with out upstairs neighbors (it didn't work out they thought it'd be a good idea to go to bed before 1 AM, sigh, some people are just weird I guess) and hanging with Ting and Kusa just talking and relaxing. Don't worry dumpsters I'll pay you guys a visit soon, my friends wants to see what you guys are like.

Dive Lessons and Divine Tests

Tonight I went to another neighborhood near where I used to live to teach a friend to dive in his area. It was an alright time, we found a lot of bakery stuff at two different places (cookies, break, brownie edges, muffins) but not much else. If you wanna start diving read Evasion and The Art and Science of Dumpster Diving. Later on the way to the train I found some noodles and shin pads and scotch tape and bread sticks. The noodles broke open, but alas the dumpster gods had smiled upon me ahead of time and were merely putting my resourcefulness to the test, a test I passed by using the scotch tape to ensure the noodles remained in their packaging (until I cooked them later).
Later near home I dived a bunch of food and some household stuff (dish detergent and batteries). I've come to realize that pharmacy managers dislike chocolate and bakery owners (and many restaurant owners too) dislike bread. They just seem to throw it out all the time, or maybe they just love me enough to feed me :D
... Nah!!!11 lol.
Ting seems a bit excited about Nin-nin coming over for a bit, he has a party lined up for Friday and we're probably gonna go out on Thursday as well. Looking forward to that.

Kung Fu Feast

Before yesterday night I dived a huge bag of everything bready or sugary next to a Timmy Ho's, before that I found maybe 8 cartons of peach nectar along with some 4 basketlets of raspberries and some other fruit. Remember I still have a ton of chocolates and jalepeno chips. Kusa and Ting are gone for the weekend, what will make a large amount of this food vanish?
You wanna watch some Jackie Chan movies? You shoulda came over, we watch a bunch bagels and cookies and chips and sipped on thick nectar in front of Rush Hour and Drunken Master. Kinda very awesome Saturday. Some of the ninja crew from the neighborhood were there Kunoichi was there with all but one of her roomies (there's 5 plus her total) and her friend from outta town (who's down with ninjas and dived food), Dreads was there with his roomie and I got V to stop in after his work. Was a jolly good time, cuddle, eat, watch kung fu, repeat, don't rinse though I want to keep this flavor in my mouth.
Wanna get rid of a large amount of dumpster food? Wanna see all your friends turn into cuddle food zombies? Wanna enjoy some awesome movies? Get your friends, get your computer, dive a ton of food (it's not that hard really) and set that shit up totally worth hour's worth of effort required.

First Dive

Back in my computer hacker days I used to get my mom to drop me off on the other side of the bridge near J&R and I would pick up computer parts from the trash. That was in middle school.
Tonight me and Kusa went dumpster diving for fruits and vegetables. I found a dumpster map of the city I'm in, and there was a fruitery dumpster a few blocks away from our apartment so we crashed it around midnight. I'll write it up as a night op:
Gear:
Me-
Black Hoodie
Tan Cargo Pants
Brown Boots
Flash light
pocket knife
Lighter
Kusa-
Jeans
Dark Blue Long Sleeve
Brown Sneakers

We walked the few blocks down a fairly busy street to where our supermarket is so we could check around there before we hit the fruit dumpster. The super market dumpster said cardboard only (and unlike in Evasion it only had cardboard) and another one was locked up. Super market dumpsters are for another time then, but now I have a great reason to learn to pick locks like I always wanted to.
The next alley was the fruit dumpster alley and boy did it have a fruit dumpster. I was happy to see that the dumpster was unlocked open, and full. The first thing we found was a box of fruit which we haven't IDed, they're purple, oval shaped, with little brownish nubs, there's purple pulpy stuff inside that seems edible. Kunoichi knows what they are but I don't really remember what she said about them, I'll ask her some time. After that I climbed into the dumpster and dug around I found so much food we didn't carry it all back. The dumpster even provided us with a means to carry the food back (so many boxes and trays). In the end we walked off with:
A watermelon (we left two in the dumpster)
Two Bags of green grapes (after removing the bad ones we had about a bag and a half)
Some broccoli
Maybe seven of the purple things
A single plum
A bag of lettuce or salad or some type of edible leaves...
Overall a good experience I will be sure to repeat. I was surprised at how much there was. There was a bow full of eggplants in the dumpster that was barely open, it's too bad Kusa, Ting and I don't really like eggplant or we'd be in heaven.

Hit the gym

Hit the gym today with Ting. Got in for free by letting them hold my ID. Was a pretty good session, worked on abs and arms but mostly abs. I prefer to exercise outside or at home, most of the stuff we did didn't require equipment. Tomorrow I'm gonna do some parkour with Pines downtown. Gonna be good to train here again.

Back up North

I'm back in Canada for school, though I have some time before it starts. I'm in an apartment with Kusa and another friend (guy does boxing and Muay Thai, I'll call him Ting). No definite plans for any ninja stuff yet but I'll get to it soon. I wanna get in touch with Pines and V to start some parkour before everything gets covered in ice. Looking forward to a good year.
