Owwwwwwwwww

Music: angry muttering... grumble grumble grumble...

Today was suck. Among other things and the day just generically bugging me, I had about 2 or 3 gallons of white paint fall off of a cart I was loading into the elevator and crack open - then proceeded to flood the elevator with paint. I then had to scoop it all into buckets and the then mop it up once the amount was less, all while the elevator was constantly trying to close it's door and go up.

And further, while dealing with all this my shoulder dislocated itself again and I had to pop it back in, take a quick rest and then go finish. By the time we got it mostly cleaned up I was this close to punching someone in the throat.

Well, probably not actually, but I did need to blast some music on my headphones for quite some time to calm myself down.

..robble robble robble....

Thor is angry with you Toronto... fear him

Music: Stars (calender girl is such an awesome song)

Woo, okay, back to hopefully updating more often.

So, I know that like almost everyone has been complaining about the abundance of big assed rain storms all summer and about how the way hot temperatures haven't started yet, but honestly...

Suck it!

This rocks.

Okay, since I do ride my bike most places, the overabundance of rain can be an issue (although, honestly riding in the rain is fun as long as you can dry off and change clothes after), but this is sweet. I am very much a fall/winter person, and as such I really don't deal well with heat - even the weather this summer has been way too much - so I am so glad that it has yet to pass 30 degrees. So hey, good for it.

And as far as the storms go.. there is basically no weather better than a nice huge thundertorm. They are awesome, fun and incredibly beautiful. There's just something so cool and above all impresive about them. Once again, as long as I can dry off and change after, I love being out in them.

So for all of those anti-storm people, sit down, shut up and just enjoy it.


... on further thought, this all may be the reason behind why I have been nearly hit by lightning 3 times in my life but hey, totally worth all of it. And still have not been actually zapped, so Thor...

You've got crap aim, boy.

(please don't smite me..)

Music: Junior Mafia

So I am obviously just not allowed to have technology. Broke my Ipod a week ago, and the last Friday morning (as part of my worst day ever) Ibroke my cell phone. Yeah, seriously. Phone and Ipood in a week - hoo fucking ray! I just don't get to have spare money to spend on anything else for a while.

Although, to be fair, I had had the old phone for like 5 years give or take a few months. This new one is now my second phone and the first one with a plan - I have just been using pay as you go cards since I first got my phone.

Well, onwards and upwards to phone numbah too!

.. dammit.

God Fucking Dammit

Music: none (see yelling)

Graaaaaargh!
Alright, so for those who are unawares, I am a complete tool. For a week or so now I have been meaning to change up the music on my ipod but kept putting it off. This morning while eating breakfast at my desk (so I could watch Weeds), decided to do something about this and went to plug my ipod in.

And promptly dropped it.

Right in my fucking bowl of cornflakes and milk.

Needless to say, the ipod is fucked, do to being filled with milk that then evaporated to leave it filled with a sticky cheese-curd like substance.

Well, I went to the apple store to get a new one (a better one. Faster. Stronger. We have the technology.. well, not me, but somebody does). So on the plus side, at least I have a shiny new purple music box to carry around with me. On the downside though, I am out about two hundred bucks.

dammit.

Fuckin ay

Music: Dinosaur Jr

So, just got back from a nice dinner with the family at the grandmother's (we had stew and strawberry rhubarb pie - the best kind of pie). Realised I had left my oj carton on the counter for about 8 hours. Can orange juice go bad? It says keep refrigerated, but hopefully it'll be fine cause I plan to keep on drinking it. Here's hoping I don't get a stomach ache. But I'm not gonna throw it out - I mean I just bought it this morning.

Had a damn fine shindig last night over at Krista's place for my birthday. There was bunches of beer. There was good peeps. There was lots of music, accompanied by dancing and singing along at the tops of our voices. There was the yelling of innapropriate things from the 17th floor balcony to friends waiting at the bus stop below. And there was a big piece of blank canvas nailed to the wall wich we all decide to draw and write on as an impromptu guest book. It's got lots of innapropriate quotes and a big-assed penguin/stegasaurus/godzilla drawn by Josh - Sush's mister. Check out Krista's blog for a picture of it.

Damn good show all around if I do say so myself.

And to think I was just planing to go to the pub with people...

On another note

Oh, hey, on an entirely different note,

Happy Birthday Me!

Going off to a "surprise" party Krista is throwing me.
Not really a surprise anymore cause that woman is incapable of not telling you something she is excited about, but woo! I get a party, and don't have to shit for it.

I had only planned to go to the bar with some people, but awesome.

You rock Krista.

..dammit

Discosis

Music: Bran Van 3000

So, who here knows Bran Van? Seriously? I bet lots of the population knows Drinking in LA (a justifiably awesome song), and lesser numbers prolly know Everywhere and that We Go Shopping song.
And this is just a damn shame.

Bran Van are prolly one of the most well rounded all over good bands out there. I fucking love these guys. They have stand-alone awesome songs, but also each of their three albums all work as a whole and flow from song to song really well. And these songs on each cd are constantly shifting through different genres.
Rock.. check.
Indie rock stuff.. check.
Hip hop.. check.
Electronic stuff.. check.
Really dancy songs.. check.
Mellow folky songs.. check.
Reggae.. yep, somma that too.

And they pull them all off fantastically.

If you don't already know and love them, go get some. If you just want to get one, I would reccomend starting with Rose (the newest), but seriously you should get the other too (Glee and Discosis) right afterwords. There is not a bad one among them.

Mentok commands you to procede!
