Drive your vehicle like you just don't care

For the record, I was Keanu Reeves as a pirate trying to save a baby by stealing the pirate's money and giving it to an old black lady who had raised me as a child so she could raise the baby as her own. Just saying.

I just can't be with you like this anymore

Welcome to my Tuesday Afternoon in Montreal.

Last Tuesday, to be exact.

Today I took my dad out to our fav greasy spoon - The Paladin - for his bday lunch today and gave him a sweet Thunderbirds card that had a picture of Jeff Tracy and said "Super Dad" on it that I thought he would like, and I was right. Now, if only I could find some of the Thunderbirds candy with little toys inside for him that he used to get as a kid. Do they still make them? Time for some research!

That and of course tidying up, packing an overnight bag for Ty's, painting more (I have a fab and super-secret art project I can't share just yet... you'll see why when it's done!) and working on more of my amazing coloring book while finishing up the 3rd season of Breaking Bad.

Tomorrow eve's the first Patio Pleasure Saturdays kicks off at The Academy tomorrow and I'm super excited to check out the sweet tunes that are going to be laid down by the likes of Khemlab, Chris Komus and a bunch more peeps. It's been a good long while since I've had eats and drinks with friends and I'm definitely looking forward to it. Let's hope it doesn't rain!

Happy weekend all! xo

Je veux te voir dans une film pornographique

I can not stop watching the new Gaga video; thank god I have the day off so I can sit here and gawk over how over-the-top and homoerotic it is. Love it.

Speaking of "homoerotic" (sort of) on June 29th Cabaret Mado is doing a drag version of Lady Gaga that I would kill to see. If anyone is in good 'ol Montreal around the end of the month please check it out and report back to me, I'd kill to see Gaga in drag.
Don't you love days off where you still manage to get a ton of stuff done despite actively trying not to do anything? It doesn't even feel like a chore. So much time to veg with a delicious iced tea, surf the 'net and listen to Mouse on Mars to remember what a kickass vacation I had.

Tonight I'm making tacos for Ty and I and when he goes home I'm going to watch a studio Ghibli movie and do some painting.

Our hell ends every weekend

Home again.

Oh, vacation. I miss you.

Ty took this on the plane to Montreal a few weeks ago; we didn't manage to get seats together because we booked on a seat sale and didn't have a choice, but luckily we were behind/in front of each other.

We spent the whole flight reaching back/forward bothering the other one and making excited faces.

He happened to catch me looking up from my book; I like this picture a lot.

I don't even know where to start or what to say, how to describe everything. I'm exhausted from being on my feet and adventuring every day since we left and the plane ride tuckered me out.

I'm going to make a cup of tea and catch up on some Internets, but I'll update this ish shortly. I need some downtime, for sure.

Missed you all.

Going till we say stop

May 28, 2010 - 5:26pm - by admin

I've been working through my lunches all week and you know what? Fuck it. If I'm only going to be allowed 1hr of my workday to be on Teh Internetz then I'm going to damn well use it.

I uploaded this picture to my flickr a few weeks ago and meant to blog about it at the time but other stuff came up instead; the reason I have a stupid grin on my face is because after exhaustedly walking around The Exchange and part of downtown looking for a milkshake and not finding a single place that was open to sell me one (or sold them in general) Ty went to the store, bought mint chocolate chip ice cream (my favorite) and made me a milkshake from scratch.

I was so happy and thankful. It was amazing. And now after typing that, in the midst of this shitstorm at work that is stressing me out to no end, I feel quite a bit better. Being thankful for having someone in my life who will go out of their way to fullfill even my stupidest whims is what I should be thinking about, not this stupid drama.

Now I find myself smiling again. I'm glad I didn't post about this until now.

Happy Friday, dears. xo

This will all make perfect sense someday

Rough bloody week.

Long week.

Even though it was a short week?

All I can say is thank goodness for small miracles because otherwise I think I could have handled the garbage going on right now.

Now I have a nice little mantra that gets me through the day and right now that has to be enough.

On top of it I've been exceedingly exhausted and have had a constant headache. I'm considering not going in to work tomorrow because I feel so worn-out and terrible but it's the last day before my vacation so I'm going to power through it as much as possible because I have shit I need to do.

My work day will consist of tuning everything out and burying myself in my work as much as possible until the day is over.

Then I see sleeping in, BBQs, hi-def movies and Portal in my near future and I like it.

As of Monday it's two solid weeks of No Stupid Bullshit combined with Eastern Canada Adventure Time.

I can't wait.

A little bit more harmful

One of my favorite shows is Mad Men.

Not just because I love to look at Jon Hamm's sculpted face , or am endlessly entertained by the ridiculous amounts of drinking, adultery, sexism and racism rampant on the show. Also because I have a weird fascination with old-fashioned ads.
I mean, come on, look at all that copy.

I have a few vintage Playboy's from the early 60's and 70's and pretty much all the ads are like this; smaller pictures, usually black-and-white, and full of text. A whole monologue about shaving cream or Kotex Sanitary Belts (ew).

Honestly though, I prefer ads like these. They seem classier, somehow more mature?

Oh, and the lack of shitty photoshopping doesn't hurt, either.

Is it possible to listen to David Bowie's song from Labyrinth without immediately recalling those ridiculous crazy crotch-enhancing pants?

I think not.

J'oublie mon chagrin

Busy, busy. Bedtime soon.

Ever have a weekend where you don't do much, but it still exhausts you? Friday was a write-off and sleep was caught up on, Saturday saw an amazing day of exploring and discovering new stores and places and food followed by great times with friends, Sunday offered sleeping in obscenely late followed by a workout so extreme my abs still hurt today and then the Lost finale with Will.

One could say I'm lost without Lost? Har har har.

Monday was a write-off. I have a huge art project on-the-go and the day was spent working on that while Ty played Portal; it's good background music for creativity, it seems.

We leave for Montreal next Monday and I need to lay super low until then; low-key evenings followed by a laid-back weekend and then two weeks of adventure and excitement.

Six more sleeps.
