boxing day shooting

yup, that's right, boxing day shooting, not shopping.

there was a shooting in downtown toronto, right outside eaton centre yesterday, which killed an innocent bystander, and wounded a bunch more. now this is kinda scary for me for a few reasons:

1. i love shopping.
2. i live downtown.
3. i live 10-15 minutes away from eaton centre.
4. this was a totally random shooting, so it could happen anytime, anywhere.

toronto is having a huge problem with gun violence this year. on a day-to-day basis, i don't really think about it because it's one of those things you can't really control, so there's no use worrying about it. but when it happens closer to home, it's a little more concerning. oh toronto. maybe i need to get a bullet proof vest.

on a more positive note, i'm going home in two days. yeah! pretty excited about it. i started a to-do list for myself too. and i'm going to take advantage of shopping without paying PST. one reason why alberta is good. seeing friends and family will be nice too. i'm even looking forward to seeing my nieces, bacon and poppy.
