What my weekend looked like: November 19-21, 2010

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Friday:
07:30 – Wake up. – Happened… probably more like 07:45
08:00 – Work. – Happened
17:45 – Gym. – Didn’t happen.
19:00 – Farmville. – Happened, but much earlier, since there was no gym-going.
21:00 – See my Cuddley-boo. – Happened.
23:00 – Sleep

We deviated from my original plan because it’s been 3 solid weeks that cuddley-boo was working and it was my plan/goal to get him absolutely smashed.  Which was quite successful.  We started drinking at home, him a friends home-made mead, then the cherry vodka/orange juice screw drivers.  Me, screwdrivers, before we headed out to Bovine to grab beers.  Unfortunately that’s where I discovered cuddley-boo doesn’t do good mixing his different alcohols (no matter what order) and was quite uncomfy by the time we got home.

Saturday:
10:00 – Sleep in – Happened
13:00 – Everything to do with Sex Show – Happened.
20:00 – Hotel party with IAMers – Happened, sort of. but later.
23:59 – Drive back + sleep – Happened, sort of. but later.

Saturday overall was a bit of a downer.  I was a bit sleepy still from the night before and I’m sure cuddley-boo was slightly hung over or still drunk or something.  We went for breakfast at Hurricanes which was exciting only because he never takes me there (thus I want to go more) and we had some good food at least.  Then to the sex show which was the same building as the print show, which caused giggles.

The sex show was really boring.  It was basically a flea market of adult vendors. Seminars & demos existed but was too impatient to sit through anything. A lot of walking in circles to end up buying stuff we would have purchased anyways, for probably the same prices at any retail store.  What was weird and out of place to me were the following booths: chair massages, teeth whitening, paint ball, car stereo systems, tattoo & piercing.  Really. There was a tattoo parlour who had a booth who was tattooing on the convention floor of a sex-themed convention.

The hotel party, unfortunately, was equally boring.  It was just me & cuddley-boo, and the couple who’d organized it.  It was good having time to get to know the other couple but I kind of had my hopes set up for one of the big hotel parties I used to be a part of, but the IAM community isn’t what it used to be, so neither are the swinger parties. *sigh*

We ended up leaving around midnight I think and hit up Velvet for more drinking but after the first beer both of us just felt out of it & wanted to go home, so we did.

Sunday:
13:00 – Everything to do with Sex Show – Didn’t happen.
17:45 – Football practice/warm up – Didn’t warm up
18:00 – Football – Grapists vs South Beach Talent Show – We tied 6-6.
19:15 – See my Cuddley-boo – Happened.
23:00 – Drive home – Happened. Right on time too.

My original plan was to buy a weekend pass for the sex show but decided against it so the Sunday edition didn’t happen. Instead we remembered it was the Toronto Santa Clause parade and went to that instead.  It started pretty much right outside Cuddley-boo’s house (all the floats were parked up & down Ossington) so we headed out about 60 minutes before the official start and walked as far East as we dared to stand outside.  Got to just before Spadina.

Cold. I was in a hoodie which was not sufficient for standing around doing nothing for hours. At least I had my mittens which I was quite thankful for since my fingertips froze off (not literally.)  Started walking back just near the end and caught up with Santa maybe a few blocks inwards. But I was happy we got to see the whole thing.  Was sad that I didn’t end up joining the Toronto Unicyclists on the Milton parade instead. Since any routes to my car out of parking were blocked off with the parade I had no way of getting there on time.

Football was fun though. We finally played with flags (still don’t have any of our own though) which makes the game a whole lot harder than the first two that were just one-hand-touch. I caught the ball once and had like 3 opposing team members try to get at my flag, and since I thought once I wasn’t on my feet I couldn’t run anymore I didn’t bother running. We ended up tying the game 6-6. So far one win, one loss, one tie. Yay us!

Then lots of cuddley while we watched 3 Amigos and ordered pizza online. Yay Hawaiian Pizza! Stefan made up a second pizza of chicken (which counted as 2 toppings) and then all the free toppings he could think of putting on there.  It was quite yummy. Then go home sleepy time.

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Friday:
07:30 – Wake up. / 08:00 – Work. / 17:45 – Gym. / 19:00 – Farmville. / 21:00 – See my Cuddley-boo. / 23:00 – Sleep

As far as I remember everything here happened. But not quite the timing. I came home to see that my one terabyte harddrive started acting funny and suddenly was giving me error messages saying it’d lost random data. I was freaking out, trying to turn it off, on, off, on, reboot my computer… trying to figure out how I might be able to salvage the whole thing since it holds all my TV shows.  Then remembering that when my computer buggered off but started working after I unplugged the USB hub, I plugged the HDD directly into my computer, and it works fine.  I have now come to the conclusion the USB hub is fried. Which I’m okay with, it’s the cheapest and most easily replaced part out of anything that could have gone wrong.  I didn’t get to see cuddley-boo until probably closer to 23:30 because he also had something he randomly did.

Saturday:
10:00 – Sleep in (Cuddley-boo working) / 13:00 – Bondage/Fetish Photoshoot / 17:00 – See my Cuddley-boo. / 19:00 – BBQ in Port Colburne / 23:59 – Drive back to Toronto + sleep.

I got to sleep in. Then farmvilled. Watched a few TV shows, finally ran out to do the photo shoot. The shoot took not as long as I was expecting (From 1pm til about 3:30pm) and then I headed back, grabbed some food stuff and some beer stuff then went back to cuddley-boo’s to wait it out & see what time he’d be done work.  While waiting and watching TV and sleeping I ended up setting myself a brunch date for Sunday.  Unexpected but sure why not.  Unfortunately cuddley-boo didn’t actually get back home until probably 21:00 so we skipped the BBQ.  Went for Pho instead, then had a few beers & sleep.

Sunday:
10:00 – Sleep in (Cuddley-boo working) / 12:00 – Farmville / 14:00 – Chair Massage (if I feel like it.) / 17:45 – Football practice/warm up / 18:00 – Football – Grapists vs To be named by Dave / 19:15 – See my Cuddley-boo / 23:00 – Drive home

I don’t think anything really happened like it was supposed to. Cuddley-boo predicted a super duper long day so he had to kick me out so he could lock the doors and I napped in the car for a little bit from around 09:30 until around 10:30.  Showed up earlier to Alex’s than what we originally planned (But I was now super bored sleeping in the car) and got there around 11:00.  We went for brunch with his roommate Trina (?) which took forever and where the waiter never really quite remembered what we ordered.  Back to Alex & Trina’s house to watch videos & drink & stuff. Left around 5-ish to head to football, stopped off at the grocery store.  Football where we first started with not enough team members but we had enough by the end. Called up cuddley-boo but he didn’t answer so I headed home around 19:00 and watched the first performance of Take That as a 5 piece (Gary, Jason, Rob, Mark, Howard) in 15 years on the Brit show X-Factor. Animation Domination. Shower. Sleep.

P.S. I think I pulled one of my ab muscles, on the right hand side. Because moving after the game sucked. Getting out of the car sucked. And getting up out of bed this morning also sucked. Boo-urns to injuries!

What my weekend looked like: Nov 5-7, 2010

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Since it’s Monday morning (when I write this) and I’m lazy I’m going to simply copy/paste my list and add comments…

Friday night:
17:45 – Body Attack gym class.
DONE! Was a good class. I really enjoyed it. Tried to go shopping afterward for purple t-shirt or some kind of gym pants but nothing appealed to me.

19:00 – Go home. Farmville. Sleep.
DONE DONE DONE!

ALSO, before going to bed I ended up purchasing the flights for my epic Take That journey next June/July. I will be leaving YYZ June 26, arriving at LGW June 27. Then Leaving LGW July 4th and arriving back in Toronto the same day. (Technically only 3 hours later!)

Saturday:
09:30 – Demo(nstration) class for martial-arts cardio at gym. We get sticks!
DONE! It’s called Bokata, and my a$$ really hurts! I showed up late which was a bit horrifying. But that’s okay, especially when the class ran long and ended about 15 minutes after it was supposed to. It was a super duper challenging class with the person who invented it, and she didn’t offer any “low impact options” so I did what I always do which is make up my own. I was in the far corner at least. And I could definitely see why the class limit was necessary!

??:?? – Demo(lition) of a house for Wayne Manor music video shoot.
DONE! It took FOREVER! I told the guys earlier I would be there when I could. Which would be after the above class. So I would leave Markham around 12 noon. (Time to go home change etc.) Txted them around 12:30 to say I’m leaving, the dude told me “Perfect! We’re still in Scarborough!” which lead me to think “Screw that, I’m staying home another hour” and did just that. Showed up around 14:00 along with the guys & did some shooting, did some painting & general mayhem. Also the band may or may not be called Wayne Manor anymore.

ALSO after driving back from Wick Ontario straight into downtown I was invited out to cuddley-boo’s best friend’s birthday dinner thing at some downtown restaurant. Where we both ordered rare steak. And he’s beginning to realize the irritatingness that is two people who always order the same thing. Haha.

??:?? – cuddle with my cuddley-boo.
DONE! This I was definitely expecting to be done.

Sunday:
??:?? – Sleep in while Cuddley-boo goes to work.
DONE! Also Farmville’d from when I got out of bed around 10am til about 2pm when I finally left the house to venture out for breakfast/brunch/lunch/food. At Timmies.

12:00 – Sell off excess CD’s/DVD’s at Sonic Boom
DONE! Sort of. For one thing I didn’t hit the stores until about 15:00.Also, I sold 2 DVD’s + 16 CD’s for $8.00 at Sonic Boom, then another dvd for $4.00 at BMV

16:00 – Bondage/Fetish photo shoot with photographer I met on okC
DID NOT HAPPEN! First off we changed photo shoot to “meet up for coffee” because there wasn’t going to be enough time to get photos done before football.  Also he apparently texted me around 14:30 to let me know he would be running late & needed to cancel. However my phone failed to notify me about this (it normally beeps & continues to beep until I check it and will tell me “1 New Message”) so I was sitting outside Spadina station from 16:00-16:30 until I gave up & called up Football boy instead.

ALSO because of the now completely cancelled meeting with photographer from okC, I called up Football boy to see if he wanted to hang out. And he was okay with the idea. So we hung out where he threw a football at my head while we were sitting and watching a DVD about the Edmonton Eskimos. Was interesting. But not very tutorial-ly for what I was hoping for.

18:00 – Flag Football game – Grapists vs Sunday Football Team 5B
DONE! During offense I just kind of run around like a chicken with its head cut off. During defense I count steamboats and try to block the visual of the quarterback. Not that I really know what I’m doing. I also need to get gloves or something if I ever want to really catch a football. Those things are mighty slippery! Oh, and the Grapists won 6-1.

19:00 – Flag Football game – Grapists vs Illegal Contact
CANCELLED! This game was actually cancelled Friday afternoon after the list first started. So we all headed home an hour early. And there’s 9 weeks left of play.

20:30 – Cuddle with my cuddley-boo.
DONE! Although this was about an hour earlier, we also went to grab take out Pho and drank beer while watching the Animation Domination halloween specials that were all a week late. Which is slightly amusing. We missed about half the Simpsons halloween special though. Also, take-out pho is extremely difficult to eat because it comes with some assembly required.
