sorry I've been so whiny lately
- by admin
looking back august was a pretty tough month. lots of personal ish went down and things got messy and I was stressed about student loans and classes and the usual student garbage on top of it. the only good thing about it was Connect and even that was a bit touch & go.
so surprise surprise we decided to kick august out with a bang and ring in a newer, cooler, more awesome month and did so first by joining @cenquist and @abstractartform for drinks at the forks.
before I go on I have to give credit where credit's due, and colin always introduces us to the coolest people. boy is a master networker if I ever met one.
anyway.
yr girl had a bunch of g&t's and maybe got into a too-heated debate with shea about tribbing (NSFW NSFW NSFW) which I'm sure the rest of the patio LOVED to hear.
one of my favourite things to do is sit and drink and people-watch and we did just that all to a backdrop of classical music coming from the barge on the river yonder.
eventually that scene got old and shae was all
let me take u guys to the best karaoke in the city. it's at saffron's and it's going to blow yr mind
and not gonna lie I was like
'meh'
but we went and I was wrong. so, so wrong.
within minutes of arriving a dude got up and sang phantom of the opera which is a wicked to begin with but made 10x better because he'd sing christine's part in a high falsetto, and phantom's part all deep with one hand covering his face (like the phantom's mask, silly)
dude changed my life for reals.
I've never seen karaoke of this calibre before and there was such a unique cast of characters there like
'A Superman' with the jaw of steel
and the super buff asian dude with the metal glasses and deep-assed voice
and the gay latino with the thin moustache who kept bringing girls up to sing duets from Rent
and oh hai jbroadway who serenaded us all with a serious rendition of my fav song from the killers
and my favourite the guy whose table we crashed who looked like the guy from 1972 solaris and sat there sipping his beer cool as a cucumber and then got up and killed it singing the beatles.
wow wow wow.
we closed down the bar and didn't roll into our casa until 4am after partying more with the boys and Dog Marley (best dog name ever) and even more debates about tribbing omg and the single shared beer and freestyling (though not by me).
totally the recharge yr girl needed to welcome september and a perfect reminder that
I have the best life.
power up!
Hip Hop Sunday #46 Slaughterhouse ft B.o.B - Welcome to Our House
- by admin
had a dream last night about an alternate universe where everything was black and white and these versions of ourselves walked around leading totally different lives than the ones we had.
my parents were cruising around the world on this giant yacht where my dad was throwing these raging parties.
one of our friends (I think it was komus) was living on a spaceship.
colin was living in the mountains in this old temple.
one of my brothers was living in africa saving the elephants.
I was living in this huge mansion with corinthian columns and this massive pool that I was floating around in on this huge inflatable mattress. tony and raymi lived next door. tyrone was making these huge murals all over the house and his mom lived in an equally huge house up the street.
but I was happy to wake up from it all and come back real life
cause you guys know I love Hip Hop Sunday.
go enjoy it
xo
we don't usually lie around in parks

but if we did it'd be nice to be serenaded by some random guy who will sing us tenacious d songs and then post the super cute video on the internet.
and we'll sing along, obvs.
omg it's the Labour Day long weekend
- by admin
feels like the longest week ever which is funny because don't they all feel like that before the long weekend? work flew by today which was nice and I made it home in record time because there's, like, zero wind you guys and though I'm glad my day zoomed by I hope the weekend doesn't because yr girl needs this shit bad.
what am I up to you ask? beyond drinks at The Forks in a bit with @cenquist, @abstractartform and Tyrone but beyond that I literally have no idea.
it's scary.
it's exciting.
it's about to begin omg omg omg.
A year ago today

I'm trying to write but I can't
I spent all day in a sick-coma. slept till noon, woke up, made an insane sandwich which I forgot to take a picture of before inhaling in with my sickness-empty stomach. here is what was in it:
2-egg omelette folded over some pieces of cheddar and mozzarella
sliced red onion
lettuce
sliced vine tomato
mayonaise
mustard
pepper
on whole-grain bread
now I want to eat again.
ps how badly do you want to see this movie? I do x1,000,000
a year later I didn't see that movie and I haven't had a home-made sandwich that good since.
what was I doing this whole year?
It's Wednesday, I'm in love
- by admin
sitting at my desk taking a break from doing the boringest thing ever which is entering AP invoices into SAP and I can't believe I get paid what I get paid to do this. it should either be way more or way less depending on how you look at it but I'll take the money and run, thank you.
but it's lunchtime right now and I'm eating this crazy three-cheese pasta and half a porkchop stuffed with pear and goat cheese which is leftover from the weekend which leads me to the title of this post
because nobody is actually in love with wednesday, ever.
saturday Tyrone made me this crazy dinner which consisted of the stuff I just mentioned and we hung a sheet up over the flatscreen on the living room wall and hooked up the projector instead.
we put blankets on the floor and set it up all picnic-like.
I put out tons of candles all around the living room so there was sexy time mood lighting.
we picked the movie Solaris which isn't really a date-time movie but we have to be different somehow, I guess.
we ate our dinner, set up pillows and blankets on the floor and lay down together to watch the movie
and fell asleep before the movie even ended.
which some would consider to be a colossal loss, but not me.
because we still made a nice dinner together and still put a ton of effort into having a nice at-home date on a saturday night, which is more than a lot of almost-three-years-together couples do. even if they fall asleep together because omg it'd been a long week for both of us.
and now I have leftovers to make my wednesday better.
omnom.
oh man am I tired

I've been biking around like a mofo all summer which is awesome because I'm getting in really good shape without having to drag my sorry ass to the actual gym to exercise which is good. problem is classes start next week which means I'm gonna have to modify my schedule to include the gym again. dang.
treadmill, I'm coming for you.
anyway now we're sitting at home and I'm listening to 90's music on internet radio and Tyrone was all
"remember in the mornings when you used to play music from the CBC? that was cute"
which is funny because I don't remember him saying anything of the sort and in fact I stopped playing the radio in the morning because he'd constantly harass me about what was on the radio and while I was eating my breakfast he'd be all
what's this crap
and while I was doing my hair he'd be all
there's crap on the radio. why are you listening to it?
and as I was going out the door he'd be all
did you turn off the radio with the crappy music
and I'd be all
euuuuuugh
though he bought new glasses that have blue-tinted lenses so that just goes to show what Tyrone knows about having good opinions about stuff.
got lost on the bus today
- by admin
okay well not really.I had an appt this morn which meant I couldn't take the usual 180 express bus I usually take to work if I'm not biking because I learned today it only runs during peak traffic hours.
which would have been okay but only 1 other bus goes to where I work and that was three very confusing bus rides/transfers away.
which basically left yr grl stranded at the corner of pembina & bishop grandin because the 51 I needed to catch to go catch my 78 was early and I couldn't run across the highway & through traffic fast enough.
now I'm at work and I have to stay late and my legs hurt and I'm tired & cranky but none of that really matters anymore because I have a coffee and a slice of leftover pizza and this video of Rickyisms from one of my fav shows.
so I'm gonna make like a tree and fuck off.
