Here’s my attempt at staying current in the news, rather than constantly being four months behind. I have to admit, Twitter is definitely helping me loads with keeping up with the local news.  If it weren’t for Twitter, TwitterFox, blogTO, torontoist, cp24news & 680News I’d be totally in the dark!

Anyways, today it’s been announced the Toronto City Workers are going on strike. While the term “Toronto City Workers” encompasses much more, the main issue on many people’s mind is going to end up being the lack of garbage collection.

First off. Ughs.  Toronto in the summer is pretty gross.  We have heat waves, we have the need for “cooling off centres” in & around the city, we have rodent problems. (I really shouldn’t say “We” because I don’t live in the city, but whatever, it sounds better.)

Second… we also really enjoy hosting parties of varying sorts, like the upcoming Pride week festivities, Canada Day, and lots of little cultural fests every weekend.  All of these events generally do end up generating more garbage, just from having a larger volume of people congegrating on a smaller space.  Reading a bit more has the Mayor on edge of either giving in, or possibly calling in private companies to help with clean-up post-festivities.  In effect, hiring “scabs.” Wrong? Sure. Necessary? Yes. (in my opinion)

I’ve never been a part of a union that meant anything, so I really don’t have a positive opinion on unions.  Since the media sensationalizes everything, all I ever hear is negavity towards unions, making me wish at this point they’re past their prime.  It’s no longer a necessity in the work place.

And… it’s garbage. Dirty stinky garbage that will cause no end of rats and mice and squirrels and raccoons and ants and cockroaches and all sorts of other undesired visitors.  Because sure, bags of garbage can be hauled away at a moments notice once the strike is over, but who’s left with all these newly hatched visitors with nowhere to go and nothing to eat?

• Tonight I paralell parked for the first time (not an EPIC fail… but not really a WIN) and drove someone for the first time! NERVEWRACKING! #
• just got her mitts on the CEMF fliers. So weird they don’t list the venue on their advertising. Srsly!! I’d think that would be important!! #
• always funny when someone bites off way more than they can chew, then moan about how they’re so busy when it was their choice to begin with! #
• I think my day went from 2 shows two towns apart, to hanging out around the home and being lazy and not putting on pants. Pantlessness wins! #
• can’t make it 2 ’shwa, can’t make it 2 Opera House, but by golly I’m gonna be partying at Kathederal! Hoping for beer on the patio tomorrow? #
• Dad trying to cook dinner. Smoke fills kitchen. Smoke alarm goes off. No one knows the secret to turning it off. Now ears hurt! Owwie oww!!! #

My sleeping has become all sorts of messed up and it’s somewhat driving me insane. I can’t figure out if it’s healthy or not, but I’m thinking if my body needs the rest, then sure why the hell not.

I’m now waking up before my 6:45am alarm, although I have zero desire to get out of bed until at least 7:30 so I sort of just keep dozing and turning off my alarm when it goes off.  Or if it’s weekend, I’ll turn off the alarm at the first ring, and can sleep until about 9am when I finally get out of bed.  The only cool part about this morning ritual is that I’m pretty in control of my dreams, more than once I’ve remembered where my dream left off, and went back to sleep to try & continue it or resolve the issue at hand.

I’ll also randomly fall asleep/pass out around 9 or 10pm while watching TV, and Sunday night this made me wake up around 1am not able to sleep, and awake until past 2am until I finally fell back asleep again. What makes Sunday even worse is the fact that I was having hour or two hour long naps in the middle of the day because… well I had nothing better to do.

I’m awake throughout the day which is pretty decent, but by around 8 or 9pm I really am getting quite tired.  Not exactly sure what it’s all about but I could totally be falling asleep at that hour, and I don’t want to.  I already have very little of a social life, and I feel like more of that is slipping away if I can’t even stay awake to read about my friends lives online.

Wow I’m boring.

I just really wanted to show off the insane gas mileage this car gets. My old car, Mark the Mazda3, was just about 400km (city driving) from full to empty. About 500km if straight highway driving. And Freddy the Honda Fit just passed the 400km mark mostly city driving, with probably 1/3 of a tank to go. I wanted to get a pic at 300km because that was exactly the halfway point, but it looks better at night. With me trying to drive while holding a dSLR mounted with a fisheye lens driving 35km/h. Heh.

• Sunday: Wake, drive, clean, drive, delay, sleeping dogs, Niagara Falls, <3 martini, drive, delay, shower, home, sleep. Weekends are way fun. #
