Fall in love with a woman I can't find

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian homies, I'll try to remember when it is in the US so I can eat turkey again on that day, too.

I have lots of things to be thankful for; I have amazing friends that get me through anything, relatives who love me, a deece job that pays the bills for my lovely apartment, school, future.

It's all good.

I'm also thankful for little things like fake pearls and my Canon SLR
for blogs and internet memes
for pointy-toed shoes and the way snow looks on flowers
for sleeping in and staying up late
for Matthew Good and the feeling I get when I think about Toronto
for holding hands
for making out like you're still in high school
lots of things.

Friday night Alyx came over and we made soup together and watched part of The Diving Bell and The Butterfly; I'm thankful for her. She's coming over tomorrow to make me a Thanksgiving dinner so I'm extra-thankful for that also.

I guess you could say shit's pretty good right about now

(knock on wood)

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving folks.
 

Press 1



I have kids, this is where they're going.
 

Everybody do the Bartman

Entering Day Three of Sickness.

Eating lasagna at 3am.

The bottom line is a throat/lung infection, antibiotics and an inhaler and the inability to make sounds.

Except the Marge Simpson disapproving Hmmmmmm, I can do that okay.

I'm going a bit stir-crazy, I can't handle not being able to talk to people for long periods of time; I mean really talk not FB Chat or msn but this is just too embarrassing to even try (my dad laughed at me) and I'm making my mom notify my office that I, again, won't be in.

Black and white movies movies, Dexter and Fallout 3 are my best friends.
 

Appropriate steps

I really need today to be over.

Shitty weekend, sort of. Besides being exhausted beyond belief Friday was definitely the highlight, what with the zombie goodness and BTA and Apples to Apples. Then there was some major drama happening between friends that wow I can’t even go into here, not only was I asked not to repeat it but it’s so fucking off-the-wall you probably wouldn’t believe me anyway and Sunday I just felt like crap and lay under three blankets on the couch watching the second season of Mad Men.

Still sick, this doesn’t seem to be getting any better and when I inhale deeply I cough; the inside of my chest feels like a big wet sponge, very moist (don’t you hate that word?) with holes for the air to sift through.

Maybe I have an infection.

It’d be nice if one of the walk-ins located near me were open so I could confirm that suspicion.

I’m really considering calling my teacher and being like “look I feel like shit, tell me what reading needs to be done and I’ll do it from my couch between hacking up a lung and watching House”.

I think that’s the game-plan.

Subway makes me feel mildly more cheerful.

 

I ain't gotta work at the mall again

what a rough fucking week.

no bitching though 'cause last night A-Lee and I caught Zombieland and it was fucking epic on all accounts.

it's so rare to find a good Zomedy you know? Except Shawn of The Dead most zombie flicks are only made funny by how world-changingly bad they are but Zombieland managed to keep me laughing the entire time and also knowing that if the undead ever begin craving my soft, supple flesh I want Woody Harrelson to be on my side.

was there ever a time when people didn't love zombies? Actually no was there ever a time when it wasn't trendy for people to like zombies? I mean if you haven't genuinely spent time sitting around with your friends discussing the pros and cons of your city and what you would do in the event of a zombie outbreak then don't eve try with me. Zombieland even brings to the forefront some of the core rules for surviving a Zombie Apocalypse:

Rule #1: Cardio.

LOVES IT. Poor fat people.

Definitely worth a big-screen watch, fo' sho. There's a cameo in there that was possibly the highlight of the whole fucking movie. So damned good.

Also: it wins major points for having For Whom The Bell Tolls as the opening song.

Movie Goodness was swiftly followed by BTA goodness that involved wine and the best sandwiches ever and drunken Apples to Apples.

I vote Yes for Weekend.
 

Oh Ratigan!

I had a really rough day today.

I wasn't getting the right information at the office and wound up over-complicating and having to re-do a spreadsheet over several times which was frustrating to say the very least; I'm not terrific with numbers to begin with.

I was really excited to get to class because tonight is Psych and I'm really good at Psych, but my teacher gave us an exercise that had the facts wrong and confused us all because he had no idea what he was trying to explain.

We all got confused, he was confused, I was annoyed because now my mental list of who discovered, identified and studied what is all backwards.

Today wasn't a good day.

But I'm feeling a bit better now, it doesn't take much.

I found this pictureand Beauty and The Beast is my favorite Disney movie

and this video is one of my favorite Disney songs and makes my heart go pitter-pat every time I hear it and I'm reminded of sitting in my sun-filled living room watching it on vhs being happy and four years old.

Which has started me on a spree of listening to oldschool Disney songs. Here are some of my favorites:

Aladdin- A Whole New World


The Lion King- Hakuna Matata


The Little Mermaid- Poor Unfortunate Souls (Ursula is the shit)


The Great Mouse Detective- The World's Greatest Criminal Mind

... because who doesn't love Vincent Price singing as a giant rat?

There are lots of others but my chicken strips are ready and I have a date with the couch and some HBO.

What are your favorite Disney songs?
 

Jack Nicholson

Oh Jack Nicholson

I wish I had been old enough to appreciate when you looked like this:
instead of more scary, like this:
but somehow I hear you still get all the ladies:
What's up with that?
 

She misplaced her virginity back in 1995

Saturday involved a lot of running around on my part and spending money on groceries and having lunch with my parents and wrapping gifts and getting ready all in prep for Kats birthday party/pre-party for Alt13 at Monty's.
It was a hectic day but I managed to squeeze in time to make some home-made sangria to bring with me.
Oh man, it was a hit let me tell you.
Apparently I can make some mean alcoholic drinks infused with lemons and oranges and raspberries and um I think there was white rum in there as well as the wine.
Yeah, I walked the 15 minute walk in my high heels carrying the jug just like that.
I'm hardcore, don't forget it.
Our birthday girl!
Tyrone ordered her a Shambala hat which I am insanely jealous of; they're wickedly warm and comfy and I could use one in the -40 temps that are only a few months away.
Hi Phoebe.
Those drinks... so good...
And then we were off to Monty's to hear Komus play and for Ty and Morely to to the lightshow/visuals and for some reason Woog dragged me into the mens' room to take this photo of a sign and I never did figure out what the joke was.
Jesus High-Fives!
Waiting for Lee to finish so he could go on... such a damned good set. Have you checked out Komus' stuff yet? You should.
This picture is only seeing the light of day due to the intense drunk-hug happening behind me.
Good evenings were had by all.

Class got canceled tonight which worked well because the new episode of House aired tonight and I needed to do some stuff like waterproof my boots, put together mildly inappropriate getups for work, have salmon and couscous and salad for dinner and what am I forgetting...

Oh yeah! VOTE FOR SASS!!

Did you cast your vote yet?
 

IMPORTANT BLOG ANNOUNCEMENT

So no school tonight and I promise there's a blog update in it for you and some photos and other goodies, but first I need to ask you...

HAVE YOU VOTED FOR SASS YET?
Yr fav media darling from TO is in the runnings for MuchMusic VJ so go help her out and cast your votes!

You can re-vote as many times as your little fingers can click "refresh", so go and vote 5 stars in each category, and while you're at it, swing by her blog, Twitter, FaceBook and MySpace if you still use it and get to know the new face of MuchMusic.

You know she's going to wildly more entertaining than any of those other nominees, and, really, don't you want to see Leah Scott get phased out by someone that doesn't make you want to punch babies?

So, again, make sure to cast as many votes as you can here so MuchMusic can be something worth watching again.
 

Nobody gonna take my car

Today was a sort of garbage day.

Work was a challenge, I've had a persistent headache and I was misinformed by my contact lens provider so I didn't get new contacts and my eyes ache as a result and I have to wear this pair till next Saturday unless I can find a different place to get them from tomorrow.

I was very frustrated and I can't say that I exactly handles it with grace the entire time and I was sorry Alyx was there to see me be harsh to the lady at the optical place.

But we took the bus home with a hippie with a foot in a cast.

Picked up juice and ice cream.

And watched Wall-E.

I feel like maybe I should be ashamed of shedding a tear over a movie about a robot but if you've seen it you probably understand why; it touches you and sends home a really deep message about how we could wind up if we aren't careful. If Pixar makes a mistake I hope I never see it.

I laughed and cried and gasped and ate ice cream and missed my friend I hadn't seen in a long time.

Life is better.
