spoiled chinese girl

don't go rubbing your eyes.

OWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I think I had both days scheduled as Lazy Sundays.  I know that the week before I had talked to my friend Phil about going down to St.Kitts, Niagara Falls in an attempt to go across the border into the US and buy a carton of ciggerettes, then smuggle them back into Canada without paying the duty costs.  I think we would have succeeded but he wasn’t too sure.  We also didn’t know if we were really going, even though I had slated to grab the car.

Well I’m pretty sure Friday night I started to read Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.  Only I passed out after the third page, while in bed, at about 8pm because I become so freaking dead tired at the end of the week.  And I woke up at around 1am unable to sleep.  I bummed around online, read the book some, was shocked at the fact I could fall asleep 3 pages in, and just made myself tired by about 5am which is generally when I wake up, so I fell asleep listening to the radio that’s supposed to be my alarm.  Woke up again probably around 9am and just felt normal.  Did laundry, the sort of weekend-things most people do.  Stayed in my jammies basically all day.

Sunday I woke up early, watched a bit of Coronation street, while I am still interested in the show it’s not a must-see-TV type of series for me anymore, I think all the cute boys I was infatuated with have gone which makes it just not so interesting.   Called up Phil and asked if he still wanted to head to the border for our secret mission.

Picked up Phil around 2pm and started heading down to St. Kitts.  Found out our friend Marty no longer resides in St.Kitts so we overshot and went straight to the strip in Niagara Falls.  Hung out in his new diggs and chatted, hung out, I went on a mission to find pants that fit me, considering I threw out all my “fat pants” at the beginning of the year, am now required to re-purchase them all.  After 2 failed stores finally was able to find something at the Roots outlet store, 50 bucks for both pairs taxes in, which ain’t too shabby.  Went to a bar to meet Marty’s dad and got a free coke out of it, I was driving so no alcohol for me, drove around in circles looking for sushi places and finally ended up back at the same bar for pizza and wings.  Nabbed a copy of a movie, and drove home, and was home before my parents got back from the Casino.

So maybe my weekend wasn’t THAT uneventful.

Just makes me realize I need to visit my friends more often to make it something worth writing about.

Me & Phil went to Niagara Falls to visit Marty yesterday at his new digs. Our secret mission failed and no one really felt in the mood to evade taxes so no border-crossing for me. Also a mission to find amazing sushi failed and we visited the same bar twice. However, I had leftover pizza & wings for breakfast, and when I get home, I will have more leftover pizza and wings for dinner.

P.S. My dad decided to be nice and wash my car at some point this weekend. Only somehow whenever my dad washes the car, it won't start the next day. So huzzah to me being late because I was sitting in my garage grinding the ignition wondering why the hell my car wouldn't start.

P.P.S. I think I have all next week off. Sweet.

I think I passed out in bed with the TV blaring and a book in my hands at around 8pm. Then I woke up at 1am. And I've been up ever since. I should really go to sleep but I can't, and I just bought some books so I started reading one of them.

I hate reading books after watching movies though. They never match up.

It wasn’t that long ago, so I’m sure everyone who reads my page, all 3 of you, will remember when I shoved a note under the door of a band rehearsal room, and thusly found The Drop Joys.

Well leave it to me to blog about it, since I blog about everything, and the people I’ve told the story to in person, all agree with me that it was silly, but a fun and uplifting story. And all my musician friends are all like “I wish someone would do that with us!” making me vow that if I ever randomly hear them at a recording studio, I have to act the same, but it won’t be the same since I’ll know them, where with The Drop Joys they were total and complete strangers and I really was taking a pretty nifty and big risk with unsolicited notes of anonymous appreciation.

And to blog some more…, I got another e-mail from “their representative” of the band, or whatever. David. David wrote saying that someone from Japan wrote to him… about the band. And seemingly found out about the band off a blog. In particular… my blog. So David now knows I blogged about the band. And I know that someone from Japan at one point read my blog. Validation on both fronts!

So in an online way of thanks, The Drop Joys now have a link to my blog’s posts regarding them, off their main page.

I still haven’t seen these guys live yet, but they’ve got more mp3’s on their site, including a Japanese mix of one of their songs. And I really can’t wait to see their live show and meet them, because after all this, I think it’s just going to be a fun night.
