Chinese cardboard buns – add another reason to the long list of why i don’t eat chinese food.
i’m dying for some falafel. and i seriously miss the true belgian waffles from street vendors in the “low countries”. *drool*

ha this has to be a joke. NHL schedule for next season…one… ONE…home game on thurdsays. WTF! 11 on wednesdays that I could go to, 14 on fridays that Phill could go to…but ONE FUCKING GAME ON A THURSDAY that both of us could go to. *shakes head* don’t they know?!?! haha
had a nice day exploring with ian/dagr despite scraping/brusing my arm to hell exiting the first location. i guess that’s what happens when dropping off a roof forward instead of backward like normal people. i can’t help it, i need to do things face first! i would have scraped my face the other way!! haha got dinner at the freedom fries diner then headed to transfig. no go. more fencing, boards. difficult way still there, but we decided to climb cargill instead. good idea, great lighting. sat on the roof for a long time before heading back down. i had laughed in the morning because when i woke up it was raining, and it seems every time we make plans to explore it rains. luckily all the rain came in the morning and it turned into a really nice day. 75 maybe instead of 95. lots of photos to go through. hopefully good ones.
also. i’m glad that i don’t weigh that much, and my friends are all stronger than me. because this is the 2nd time in recent explorations where someone has lifted me onto a roof hahah.
tats
this is the funniest tattoo i’ve ever seen. hahahahahahah *claps for whoever thought of it*
*sigh* adr2 and i had been working on the Art is Resistance show as some of you know. we had planned for it to “open” july 28th. we’ve cancelled/postponed it because a group of fucking idiots think it’s cool to sacrifice animals – specifically a cat and iguana – inside the REA building where we were going to have the show…sick fucks. i was sorta excited to show my work again…
good things tho…brussels2 bootleg and berlin1 dvd available to download.
and apparently the sabres got the “outdoor” game, to be held at ralph wilson stadium on new years day. so cool. will be SO cold. must go!
supposed to explore with dagr tomorrow, but i don’t know what time. he had stuff to do in the morning and haven’t heard an ETA…and i desperately need to do laundry. but hopefully, the place we intend to go to, the cops don’t show up with guns drawn…
haaaa
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/dotmusic/20070706/ten-metallica-terrorist-threat-31c8aba.html Metallica: Terrorist threat?
Metallica singer James Hetfield was investigated by UK airport officials who believed he was a terrorist this week, it has been claimed. The star was barred entry to Luton airport on Thursday and questioned by staff who were concerned about his appearance. Fears that Hetfield might be involved in terrorism were apparently founded on his “Taliban-like beard”, according to The Times. He was allowed to leave the airport after a brief interrogation, when he persuaded officials that he was a rock star. Metallica play Live Earth at Wembley Stadium in London tomorrow, before headlining the venue for their own show on Sunday evening.
hahhahahahaaa
had a very interesting and encouraging meeting tonight. that’s all i can say.
hilarious moment of the night: a muslim being greatly amused by my “jesus would slap the shit out of you” pin on my purse. he got quite the kick out of that.
i spent 6.5 hrs at the terminal with the wedding party as they decorated. they had a big ole group of people working – including cleaning our marble and kiosks – and it still was that long. gotta hand it to them though, they came prepared, rented a fork lift and everything. i was impressed. glad i brought my mp3 player though as they blasted christian music a lot of the time, and had a 15 minute prayer circle…i forgot about the piercing, and jamming an earbud into it wasn’t very happy. tho it still seems to be healing very nicely.
while there and bored i took tshirt inventory and yeah, we are SO not ordering as many shirts of the new design. we have so many beige shirts still it’s ridiculous.
i also finished reading The Road. I can’t remember if this the book Carolyn recommended, or I saw it on the Daily Show, or what but my mom saw it on Oprah and bought it for me for my birthday (and so she can read it) without knowing it was on my wishlist. Pretty easy read, took about a week and I only read for about a half hour a night. Mixed feelings. It was sort of boring but somehow at the same time suspenseful and you want to know what happens next. I’m not quite sure how one accomplishes that haha. It sort of reminded me of the Dark Tower series – mostly Roland on the beach with the lobster things that bit off his fingers (i forget which book that was, drawing of the three?), and the Wastelands. I didn’t like the end much, I totally did not understand the last paragraph, and it irritates me that they don’t explain why the entire earth was burned….was it a nuclear war, or god’s wrath, or a meteor? that bugs me. I liked it, it just wasn’t at all what I was expecting.
it poured all day, i was exhausted after being up early to go to the terminal so i just went to see my parents for 4th of july. fell asleep at their house so i went home. ended up messing around on facebook and coming across old neighbors and exs. it is quite alot easier to use than myspace but i don’t like that you can’t look at people’s profiles if they’re not a friend or are in a different network. decided to be productive after that and got the new webstore application for the terminal up and running. and not looking like complete shit. why do these aps always give you the ugliest templates? anyway…that’s done. tomorrow is scanning photos to blow up for the CTRC 10th anniversary party, and the meeting with a developer at the Statler. and mailing a bunch of stuff.
my laptop won’t last on battery for more than a half hour. it’s pissing me off. anyone know of cheap toshiba laptop batteries so i can try replacing it? or any other suggestions. a half hour life is pretty ridiculous.
oh and finally a legitimate reason to use my steven colbert wrapped in a flag icon heheheheh
i found The Ex on facebook. new pictures of him proving he still lives in the area. with a girlfriend. pictures, not living with. tho who knows. he is not on my “network” so i cant see his profile only his girlfriends. i am not a stalker. i don’t even know why i looked for him, i make myself avoid it usually, but i did and there he is. and now i don’t know what to do. half of me wants to send a message just to see how he is. the other half of me fears he’ll think i’m stalking him. i’m freaking out. i shouldn’t have looked for him.
*edit* sent a message. shouldn’t have. he probably wont respond anyway. still shouldn’t have. time to f-lock a previous entry or 2
related to the previous post: carolyn, do you know when dirty dancing on stage starts in toronto? i saw ads for it but no details. so want to go!!
work had their big annual 4th of july fireworks tonight, so it was quite busy. the new rumor i’m hearing is that managment is going to ask me to supervise again. we are running very short on floor supervisors and even pit bosses and no one wants to floor because it’s a big pay cut compared to dealing. so i’m working on my list of demands if they do indeed ask me to promote myself again – including weekends off. i keep joking around that i’m going to apply for dual floor-pit boss when they post it in the next few months hahahah. anyway…for the 4th year i didn’t get to actually see the fireworks. i thought about calling in and watching them from the roof of “st anthony’s nursing home” but i’d lose my extra $56 holiday pay haha. maybe next year.
i think i forgot to mention that for my birthday i got a conch piercing in my left ear. didn’t hurt much, that day even i’d forget it was there until i hit it or something. it only bled when i slept on it. i’m supposed to soak it in saline every day, but the days that i forget to the thing doesn’t hurt at all, but when i remember to use the saline it starts hurting again. i don’t get it. if this heals right – unlike the last 6 piercings i got – i want a few more. still scared of a surface piercing though *thinks of “robin finck girl” in reno*.
i should try to sleep since i have to get up at 10 and spend the whole day at the terminal tomorrow. dagr/ian had come by the building last saturday, hadn’t seen him in almost a year. he got stopped by rail police when visiting the train platforms, so i think i may go hang out back of the building for a while and see if they show up. i had an idea to see if we can use them to protect the track side of the building during shitopex. i really don’t know what rail police do but i figure i can give it a shot.
the horror
omg i’m horrified. I just heard a r&b cover of she’s like the wind. So terrible. A travesty. I almost cried.
*edit from home* oh god. it’s by something called Lumidee. video here
