Food: I then went to City Centre. I went to the Shoppers Drug Mart upstairs and bought 2 Simply Foods (200 grams) chips for $3. It was a good deal. The potato flavor was good, but I didn’t like the ketchup. Lays ketchup chips are good.

I stopped by Canada Place and it’s under construction.
May 20 The Script: I was listening to my old Mytown cd. It was an Irish boy band in the early 2000s. My favorite member was Danny O' Donoghue. It turns out he and his co-member Mark Sheehan then formed the band The Script.
Remember the song "Break Even"? I hear that song all the time, but I didn't know that they were in it. The new member is Glen Power in the Script.
Here is the recorded song “Break Even.”
Here is the live performance:

The comments are "danny and mark from the script."
Paula Deanda: I then revisited an old R&B artist
called Paula Deanda. She had that song
called “Doing too Much.” It turns out
she was on The Voice:
“2014: The Voice
DeAnda auditioned for Season 6 of NBC's
singing competition, The Voice, as
revealed on her Twitter page.[12] Both
Shakira
and Blake Shelton turned their chairs but she opted for
Blake Shelton. During the Battles, Round 1, she was defeated by fellow Team
Blake teammate Sisaundra Lewis after their duet of Lady
Gaga's "Do What U Want."”
Robin Thicke: Here is his new song “Get Her Back”
that he performs at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. It’s a ballad and about his wife Paula Patton
separating from him.

May 23 Summer: It’s the summer time, so now I can have more fun. Unlike the winter time, I would have fun or go out once a month. I am shopping more often, but not buying anything.
Zeddy dancing: I found this a couple of weeks ago. Here is the Zellers mascot Zeddy the bear dancing on the sidewalk. There is LMFAO music playing that he’s dancing to. Cars are driving by. It’s so cute.

The Memory Palace: This was a long time ago. It was in my “parking lot” email on things I was to write about. “The Memory Palace - Learn Anything and Everything (Starting With Shakespeare and Dickens) (Faking Smart) [Kindle Edition].”
Here are the editorial reviews:
"This is a great introduction to the "Journey" memory method. Within 30 minutes I'd learnt the 37 plays of Shakespeare. The next day I spent another 30 minutes learning the 20 novels of Charles Dickens. I can now recite these in order." - M. Jaques
"[...] discover a better (more fun) way of retaining data." - Tiffany Rae
Most of the reviews were good, with a few bad.
