Callin' everyone who lives out in the 'Shwa!

Monday, January 30th, 2006

Alright. My friend's band (Jemo) is playing in Oshawa on Friday Feb 3rd at a place called Down Omar (Omer?) and Friday Feb 24 at another place called Atria. Seriously. I'm bored out of my tree when I go by myself, so I proclaim a BME takeover. I know Down Omar has no cover, I have no details about Atria. But anyone wanna come with? They're both Friday nights, and it's just a fun time to hang out at the bar! Anyone in the Toronto region I'd more than happy give a lift to. (Granted I only have room for 3, maybe 4 in my car!)

So common & message me. Because otherwise it's gonna be a long long night!

So with everything else, life goes on.

So today driving to work it's not like we're being hailed with fire and brimstone. Yes the government I didn't want to win, won, but they won a minority which is the best I could have hoped for in the situation (well I'll believe that the minority will keep 'em in check just enough to not f*** us over *too* badly, but then again I only just started getting into this whole politics game)

Exciting time at work with my co-worker now blaming me for her stress. Sure I probably stress her out, but she frustrates me also. When you mention something in passing, like “Oh, can you order these special PMS colours because it's becoming too much of a hassle to mix them?” and I say “Yea it's possible” and we say nothing of it after, how was I supposed to know that meant “Well order it you f***tard!” And when I'm asked “Did you order it yet?” and I go “No, I didn't know you wanted me to” And you start going on about how I don't listen to you and how I don't take instruction… other than becoming defensive in my explaination of why what did or didn't happen… either did or didn't happen, how the hell do you EXPECT me to act?!? Oh work. I could go on, for so long. :) She's still convinced she doesn't give me a hard time. She also is convinced she doesn't give anyone else a hard time. I have yet to figure out why that if EVERYONE has an attitude problem but you, and EVERYONE is against you, and EVERYONE is “out to get you” why on earth you think the problem is EVERYONE, and not you.

Edit: I realize that all sounds very juvinile and like I haven't been in the working world a long time, well I haven't. But seriously, she thinks I'm taking things “too personally” and I “read too much into it” when she's saying stuff, but I'm not exaggerating when I say everyone thinks she talks to all of us like we're 5 years old. It's condesending and it's annoying, and it's what gets people mad at you. Either she doesn't get it, doesn't wanna get it or plain likes frustrating us. I'm not sure.

Gym was wonderful. I still find the floor exercises silly as all hell and will likely never do them again when I'm at the gym myself, but it's all stuff I can do at home. And there's something exhiliarting about knowing that my trainer's been upping my weights without telling me, but at the same time still being challenging, and definitely a challenge I can do. Finally, I have to say I like doing my cardio before my weights, because doing it after just feels anticlimactic. And I need a good stash of AAA battaries, and another 500mb of hardcore mp3's.

As with all Canadians today…"Think Twice and Vote Once!"

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

All you Canadian citizens 18+, go vote if you didn't already last week in the advanced polls. I can't tell you who to vote for in the actual election, (Personally I voted Liberal in the whole “Keep the PC party outta here!” strategy of voting) But I've heard good things about the NDP and if I wasn't so worried about the PC takeover I probably would have done that instead.

However, I encourage EVERYONE reading this to vote Stewie Griffin as your favourite leader (http://airfarce.com/) because… common. :)

In other news, it's kind of exciting even though slightly hurty to get spanked while in home depot with long bits of plastic, and who knew that a piercer would be good with his hands. Also, getting buzzed enough from one beer that I was drinking over the course of two hours that someone else ordered for me was somewhat embarassing. I drove myself home though so 'sall good. It was nice. I've been promised another beer-tasting date, with mussels next time! Nummy.

Okay how depressing is it that I’ve lost track?

Okay I’ve forgotten when I’ve updated and not.� I didn’t go to the gym Tuesday and the trainer cancelled on me because it was shitty weather.� Wednesday I went, did like 20 minutes of cardio and then yoga.� Then Friday I went for cardio and found my gym closes at 10pm on Fridays.� I skipped Saturday because I spent the whole day downtown, but Sunday I went, late, and just did the hour with the trainer, plus a good time stretching with him, and missed out on yoga.� And that’s where we�are this week!

Where the hell did the day go?

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Yea. The gym closes at 10pm on Fridays. Did my cardio then hit the steam room. Watched most of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (kept falling asleep) and half of The Fantastic Four (really I'm not a movie buff so I didn't particularly care) with the boys after they played some Marvel Comic Hero's videogame on Xbox (I don't care for video games either!) while continually refreshing the airline webpage to watch the flight continually get delayed. The flight that was supposed to arrive at 10:45pm arrived more at like 1:45am. I booted it to the airport and got there at 2:15 and was finally leaving the airport without the ability to see out my back window at like 2:40. Crashed on a couch at 5am, woke up at 8am, mom called at 9am, and have generally stayed downtown all day. The Japanese place forgot to order my dinner, but I ate someone else's. Now it's past 24hrs since I left last night to “Go to the gym” and my phone has been off all day so I'm sure my mom is spazzing now. Gym tomorrow + yoga tomorrow. Then maybe I enter the fantastic world of aftercare production. I'm also the only person on the planet, besides Filipe, who doesn't have a Motorola Razr, and now that I think about it, I'm d*** pleased with that thought. I also took a nap at some point, where I had weird dreams that I was given a plate of food, then fell asleep and woke up gripping this plate, then woke up again, wondering where the hell the plate went. And so on and so forth. If I subscribed to healthy eating and also the one cheat day per week, this would have been it!
