• soon i will have the most organized desk ever. i took everything out, organized it into logical piles and now i'm putting it back in.
• my teeth hurt all the time. well not ALL the time. only when i eat really sugary stuff... which is ALMOST all the time. ow, it hurts. i will go to the dentist soon
• dan leahul is back in calgary for a month. we are hanging out as soon as he gets here.
• i'm taking a long long bus ride to vancouver with paul tomorrow. we just bought the tickets today. we didn't plan very much of anything and now the trip is very soon.
ps - i brought my new bike home today. it's still got a free wheel (single speed) on it, but you can probably guess when i will be changing that.... (SOON!)

i don't usually pay attention to where my music comes from, where the bands are based, what their nationality is... but jonathan AND last.fm do. we have SO much amazing music in canada. we've got the broken social scene thing and the new pornographer crew, sam roberts and the quin twins, but i was surprised by these ones:
the unicorns/islands from montreal. WHAT? i though they were from outerspace or something.
the born ruffians - so good.
black mountain
the organ/ mother mother/ do make say think
sunset rubdown / the handsome furs
DJ Champion, most serene republic, chromeo and the dears - i don't really listen to these but they have a lot of hype.
the besnard lakes / the great lake swimmers - ok i knew about them, but they are good
the hidden cameras
MSTRKRFT / death from above 1979 - no idea.
crystal castles - i find this most surprising of all
bran van 3000 - hah.
our country is so hip. also, last.fm is frighteningly awesome in a big brother way. it reminds me of when i first went on facebook. last fm pulled all my music information from my itunes and in turn it gives me recommendations for new music. like facebook i feel like i'm a big joke (when i say I, i mean ALL of us, everyone on fbook) for giving the "MAN" what they want (more data for chart plot points and demographic info) but so far it seems quite useful.

i can't stop sneezing. all the time. sneezing.

i woke up thirsty on an island in the sea
i feel like i've been a bad friend, and even a bad human lately. so sorry world. i don't think it's over yet though, i'm in kind of a situation that will take a bit more time to work through.
turns out i've been involved in some bad decisions (or more accurately badly timed decisions) lately so now i have to crawl out. i have to work my balls into the ground until europe because a) i quit my office job for lesser paying uncertainty (i have found a slice of certainty in a warehouse position diversified got me so at least i have steady work now) and b) i gave my notice to move in september, despite the fact that i am gone from aug 20 - sept 3. why did i do this to myself? argggg.
plus here's some quick body talk of my own (shoutout angie) - i think i got a stress STY... in my eye. i wasn't familiar with this term before but my eye went all wonky and it seemed to fit the description of sty. also, this is fucked, but for the past like month, my nose has been SOOo dry and painful and boogery. all i've wanted to do was pick my nose constantly. i think jonathan probably has some photo evidence of the nose picking from our vermilion trip. oh except that BOTH the cameras we used stopped working upon return. what. the. fuck. we are cursed... well i really think he is cursed, but i love him so i will accept the curse as my own.
the vermilion trip - yes. it was pretty good. my french joe and vermilion get along great. we got some RAD books for so cheap, some fantastic deals at the closing out SAAN, and i fell on a motorcycle. great times.
but don't worry everyone, i'll be ok. i've joined a strong team (kelsathon.. or jonasey) so it's do or dye. yea dye, i'll go blonde and become an earl's girl. no i won't. what am i talking about.

one more time without emotion
after work yesterday i came home to clean up for the tournament and while i was cleaning up the dusty entryway and my throat started to hurt a bit. over the evening it rapidly progressed into full blown sick and led into the worst night ever. i don't know what's going on with the furnace in this place but i slept in the fetal position shivering under 5 blankets, with crazy fever dreams running through my head.
ugh, yuck yucky. i felt like a junkie sweating out. and i felt lonely i guess.
BUT i was relieved this morning to feel a bit more like a functioning human. last night i was sure i'd have to cancel the tile rummy championships today, but i think i'll be ok.
check out the trophy! who WOULDN'T want to win that?... uh.. i wish i could say it just looks bad in the photo.. but no.

deux poteaux en un jour - comment boiteux!
follow-up to my earlier post:
i got a job at the super drug mart. it was the first place i went into and she didn't even look at my resume, sweet! i think my handshake impressed her. i start on monday. it's a perfect walk from my place and the hours are perfect.
to celebrate, i had myself a matcha smoothie - good decision, it was the best ever. i don't know if it's because i haven't had one for a long time (i used to be a bit addicted - "mighty matcha" at jj, "matcha monsoon" at bj), or my ipod just makes EVERYTHING better.
the celebration continued as i bought two jens lekman cds, and got a kwazy hair cut. it's pretty effing hip. i have the best hairdresser now, i'm finally settling down into a steady hairdressing relationship. [the corner salon, shout out]
i made a pretty life changing discovery today. headphones are better than toques - for the following reasons:
1. my hair doesn't get all staticy
2. people don't try to talk to you on the street
3. MUSIC comes out of them!
4. they are all-season
i'll never have an ear ache again! every time you see me henceforth, i will be wearing headphones. that's just the way it is.
ps. i just took a picture of myself showcasing my new hair cut and my new favorite headphones/ear ache protecters, but the camera died. hah... um...

chinook me, all night long
just went for a longboard - yes, in january!
ok, 1 point for calgary. the winters can be pretty gentle.
PLUS i took my ipod along, ended up in sunnyside and was treated to supper. what a night!
time for my eye drops, even though my eyes feel totally cured, after only 2 applications, of 2 drops each, in all 2 of my eyes - that's 8!

break in case of anything
when i say everything, i really mean everything
• this morning i woke up to my eyes sealed shut with sleep goo. my eyes have been itchy and watery for a week, but that really creeped me out first thing in the morning. so i went and got a prescription for some drops. all day though, my eyes betrayed me with fake tears (only cry when i say to cry, eyes!) and i felt yucky.
• i normally can get along with most people, or i just avoid them. once upon a time, there was a guy who i could NOT get along with and i could NOT avoid. it was pretty rough, i wanted to kick him in the face every second. since getting out of that situation i've declared him "the guy i hated the most ever". it's been a few years and i actually was starting to realize i had been overly hostile and pretty unprofessional at that time, but still, what a dick. thank god i never have to see him again.
THEN. THEN!!
today. i see him. at my work.
in the store. outside smoking. holding the door open for me!
no interaction occurred; i became invisible.
i know it sounds like i'm making too big a deal of this, but he can't be hanging around at my work. it's too bizarre. and what if he wants to advertise and i have to be fake nice to him? fucked.
-------
ok, facebook really makes it too easy:
his profile is public and his status: "is taking CREB orientation"
-------
i'm going to watch my comfort show and have a comfort snack (arrested development & cornbread).

welcome to SWITStown... switsville... switserland
just got back from a good run - a sore-in-the-morning run.
look how sweaty somebody got! i dig it!
it was run 2 minutes, walk 2 minutes, 11 times. i can't believe i'm actually running, and not hating it. it's so unlike me.
