Exciting news! Early this week, dad had brought up buying a used car for myself and David. This is necessary primarily due to the expensive insurance requirements that would come hand-in-hand with driving the Concorde. That fact has hindered both of my brothers and I in getting our complete license for the last year and a half (prior to that, my ( Read more... )

The weather's getting chillier. I can't say that I approve ( Read more... )

I finally perused The Rooms today with Amanda. The architecture is nice, although somewhat stark. Then again, I think museums/art galleries are supposed to be stark. There was an astounding piece of what I suppose I'd call impressionism (my lack of ability for clear artful pigeonholing is probably making the artistes among you squirm, but that's ( Read more... )

I hate morning shifts at Pet City. Mostly 'cause I usually end up feeding, watering, and cleaning the animals. Not that I don't enjoy the task, but the back of that store is a dustpile. By 11, I'm having sneezing fits. And now that I'm home, I still can't stop sneezing and my nose is running like Ben Johnson. Nasty shit, I tells ya. I need to see ( Read more... )

Salmonfest could've been better, but it could've been worse. I was disappointed by the campgrounds, but, seriously, what did I expect: a pristine wilderness dominated by trees and quiet tents? What a mudhole. Shitty weather, too, excepting a few sunny (or less overcast) moments. Luckily, Amanda and I discovered Kris and Candance waiting for our bus ( Read more... )

Almost had the rug slipped out from under me for the second time today, when Michael called from work to say that the bus he and his friends had obtained fell through. Luckily, Parsons & Sons came through with a bus leaving St. John's 6:00 a.m. Saturday and leaving GF-W at noon on Sunday. Safe ( Read more... )

I'm spending too much money on music. Last week, I found the first QOTSA album at CD Plus, and an old Watchmen album at Trader's; then today, I espied the Trailer Camp CD I turned down in favour of Kuroda on my birthday at the show at The Ship, and at a nice, cheap price, so I picked it up. Finally, HMV finally turned out something of worth - ( Read more... )

Oops, almost forgot! Tonight's Amanda's birthday BBQ, and seeing as how she's already invited nigh on 60 people, it couldn't hurt for me to extend an invitation to everyone myself. It's BYOBBB, for the most part, but I'll have a pack of weiners on hand for the weiners who forgot their weiners. I'm aware that the party is being somewhat overshadowed ( Read more... )

I've had my compressed hours whipped out from under me. Apparently, indeterminate co-workers nearby in Accounts have been unable to get compressed schedules because they're not under the collective agreement, while us students, most of whom rely on someone else for transportation, have been allowed them. (A compressed schedule is working something ( Read more... )

Yeah, depressing entry. Sorry.
