It so hot right now that the bee's outside of my window are spontaneously combusting and falling to the ground like little insect hindinbergs..............okay , so none of that was true, but it's really fucking hot. Working in a bakery all day and then coming home to a broken air conditioner is the least fun thing I can think of right now. I would buy a new one but buying a car and getting a new apartment with bry is a much more attractive option. Anyone who knows of a good used car or a nice apartment with reasonable rent please let me know , preferably in uptown kingston, then I could walk to work and take advantage of the of the miracle that is summer(I know , I was just complaining about the heat , but I'm a girl and I'm allowed to be fickle goddammit!)
Not much else to say except, well thats it.......:P |

A chill has blown in from who knows where and things are wet, gray and nippy out. Yesterday it was 75 degrees and sunny and now back to this. *shakes fist at the weather gods*
Aside from the weather, today has been pretty nice. I went out and bought a new phone card for my cell and I got the final set of Tim Burton's Tragic toys. They're little figurines of the characters from The melancholy death of oyster boy.... Bry and I now officially have all of them , whoo hoo!!! I must admit that my favorite is Jimmy The Hideous Penguin boy:)
( Click here to see the Best Toys ever )
Im so excited, they're all mine!!!!
And once again I have shown my true nerdly colors with my excitement at owning the complete set of collectible toys.
Not much else to say, I'm going to do some Yoga and play some video games to stave off the boredom. |

I'm so completely exausted! I had to make about 12 batches of cookies at work today and it was almost 80 degrees. Im almost too pooped to party. All of the customers were cranky to, it seemed like everyone was out to annoy me today.
Bry brought home some delicious french bread, so tonight I'm going to make little personal french bread pizzas, Yay!
Not much else to say, so I'm off to hop in the shower and make some dinner :D |

I went on a mad cleaning spree when I got home from work. I rearranged everything , I mopped the floor, I dusted I vacuumed all of the cobwebs away from the ceiling(My house is 120 years old and unfortunately riddled with wood spiders who are a bit too aggressive for my taste). I went all out , and now everything is spic and/or span.
Now I'm just sitting here, sipping my green tea and wishing I were with bryan. Sometimes it's okay, and everything is full of happy distractions and I'm fine. When I come home , and he's not here it just tears me up. I know I see him alot(not enough if you ask me, but I am kind of demanding) , but ...........I don't know. I guess things will be better once I get my license and my car in order. Once thats settled , maybe we can start looking for apartments. I try to maintain my optimism, but it's so draining and there are days when it's just too much and I crash.
I often dream about the two of us just running away from it all, just flying off to some new and exciting place...leaving all this shit behind. We could go to Hawaii and he could sell coconuts, and I could change my name to Lilo and give Hula lessons.....Or we could run off to Paris and open up a bookshop/cafe and become Pierre and Chantal wino/philosophs extrordinaire......Or to New Zealand , I could be a Kiwi farmer and he could work as Peter Jackson's personal chef........ I don't know what I want, I just know that I don't want it to stay this way for ever.
Off to lose myself in The Da Vinci Code before bed. |

Today was a truly bizarre day , but I can't really explain way. There was a feeling in the wind, a strange tune in the breeze that made the whole day kind of glimmer with uncertainty. Today was kind of like wearing someone else's jacket, it feels a bit odd at first but as the day goes by you become more at ease and forget that it wasn't really your jacket to begin with. (If that makes any sense at all, which it probably doesn't)
Bryan spent the night at his folks house, he had the place to himself because his parents are away at some hunting related shindig. That in itself was kind of weird for me, because we aren't apart overnight that often. I was a wee bit worried about him because he's not feeling well, but everybody needs time for themselves once in awhile. Ive been putting off going to bed for a bit , it just seems so big and empty. I guess I'll just make the most of it, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to spread out, and take up the whole bed. Maybe I'll sleep in a giant X, make sure all four corners of the bugger are out to use,lol
I went out for awhile today, did some grocery shopping and hit up the salvation army. I found the best stripey skirt for only 4$, maybe I'll wear it for Valentine's. Still no plans on what or where , but I'm sure whatever we do and where ever we do it, we'll have fun.
I also spent some quality time with my folks , which was nice, but definitely not the sort of thing you would want to do everyday. We watched Pirates of the Caribbean. They both liked it, but I had to keep explaining things to them.
"No dad, they can't die, they're cursed......yes the monkey too"
"No mom, he took the coin so that he wouldn't die while he's fighting Captain Barbosa......Yes he is wearing a funny hat." *rolls eyes and chuckles*
My parents are those people. You know, the one's who go to a movie and try to figure out the plot out loud (very out loud) to the annoyance of everyone around them, who can figure out the plot quietly because they are actually watching the movie, instead of discussing why that guy with the funny accent has a briefcase full of money.
It was fun, but it also reminded me why I don't take them out to the movies much:P
Well.....it's getting really late (or early, not quite sure now), so I guess I should go and curl up in bed. |

Getting the dreaded root canal at 9:30 this morning. Ive got a ravenous pack of evil butterflies in my stomach. I'll just be so glad to have the tooth all taken care of so I don't have to deal with the anxiety/anticipation anymore.

There is absolutely nothing better then waking up early and having a big heavy mug the size of your head filled to the brim with really good coffee. Yum.
I'm actually in a really good mood today, and I'm not sure why. I think it might be because I woke up really early , and the house was all empty , so I made myself some coffee and just went through my old cd's and sang whatever song popped into my head. Singing is so therapeutic for me, it's just kind of what I do. It's really hard for me to not be performing but what are you going to do. I never like anything I write and no one is going to write songs for me , so fuck a duck. I guess singing for my cat will have to suffice , after all an audience is an audience.
Since it's my day off, I'm going to do some yoga, take a shower and then hit up the salvation army and the bookstore. I finished the two books I got last week, so now I'm desperate for a new read. I think I might get Stephan King's Dreamcatcher, I loved the movie, so hopefully the book will be better. I better get my ass is gear before the whole day gets wasted. I'll update later:) |

Last night bry and I watched the Once upon a time in Mexico dvd. Jhonny Depp + Antonio Banderas + Robert Rodriquez = best movie ever. If you have yet to see this fine piece of cinema , well what are you waiting for??? Get to it! There's a lot of great deleted scenes and extras too, so it's well worth the money you would drop on the dvd.
Ive been filling my life with work, sleep, yoga, drinking tea and working again. (god I'm boring) I really need to get a lot of money together for this root canal/dental shit so I can get it out of the way and start saving(again) for a car. Stupid money.....never have enough of .....always stupid teeth......damn hate world..... *end homer-esque rant*
I'm currently devouring The Thief of Always. It's just as good , (if not better) as everyone promised it would be. I'll probably be done with that tonight, and then tomorrow I can finish Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
I fed a stray dog some sausage patties today, it made me feel as though all were right with the world. Then I remembered who our president was, the state of our country and realized that all was not right with the world . At least one little puppy won't go hungry tonight :D |

Slept in today. It was nice, but if I'm not up by at least 8:30, I feel like Ive lost so much of the day. I had some tea and as usual, wasted a good hour on the internet before I did anything that could count as productive. I cleaned up, took a shower and did some serious window shopping. The only money I spent was to pick up my book order from the bookstore. I got The Thief of Always, which I'm really looking forward to, and I was a teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block. I started reading that as soon as I got home and am four or five pages shy of finishing. I swear the pages of that woman's books are laced with crack, because once I start reading them, I don't want to stop.
I lied, the books were not my only purchase, but since it's not for me it does'nt really count. I bought a nice pair of camo cargo pants for bry, along with a faux vintage logo shirt. They were a bargain too, I got that whole ensemble for 20$.(Plus it's worth it, he's going to look gorgeous in them:D)
Bryan bought us a coffee press too, and it's absolutely wonderful. We got all of this gourmet coffee for christmas but did'nt drink it because our coffee pot was broken. This coffee press is far superior to the whole percolation bullshit. Leave it to Europe to make it better:)
Tomorrow, I want to go to the fabric store. I have a great idea for a pair of pants that I want to make , I just need some material. I'm in a very homey/hermit-ey place right now. I just want to stay at home and drink tea, and do yoga and crafty/arty things. Ive started to think that going out is highly overrated. We go out to dinner and movies and such, I'm just so over the whole party/clubbing thing. GIve me a tiny intimate gathering any day.
This entry has been so random, I think my train of thought is broken,lol. |

WHOO HOO for friday! *dances around to jungle boogie*
Today was such a nice day. It sounds so simple, but if it really was , it would not feel so special. Bryan stopped by on my lunch break to eat with me.(what a sweetie-pie) It was a total surprise and I was in such a sour mood before he showed up. *swoon* It's things like that that lead me to daydreams of us being a crabby yet over affectionate elderly couple, walking down sunny streets hand in wrinkled hand. (scratch the wrinkles, I'm a health nut, so I'm thinking I'll be a sexy geriatric)
No big plans for the weekend. I'll probably just grab some coffee and hit up the bookstore tomorrow(My book order finally arrived), I think were going to bry's folks on Sunday, and Monday I have a dentist appointment *cringe-evil-death-hate*, but hopefully after that we can catch a movie.
On a completely unrelated topic: Can anyone recommend a LJ user who is not already on my friends list, is intelligent and readable?

It snowed again last night while I was sleeping. I'm starting to get really sick of his shit. Remeber when you were younger , and snow would be so wonderful and magical because as it fell, it brought the prospect of the ever elusive snowday. Now it doesn't mean I get to stay home from work, it just ups the odds of me falling on my ass as I walk down the driveway to get to the car. Blergh.........
Anyway, I'll put the crabby old lady part of my brain away and get on with the update.
My friend Mike sent me an email this morning with the announcement that he got to meet and have his picture taken with JASON LEE!!! Thats right fucking Brodie, Banky in the flesh!! *is jealous* He works for a local skate shop and they sent to him to a convention in Colorado , and it just so happens that Mr. Lee was there because he is making a return to the world of skating. When he gets the picture scanned and sends it to me, I'll share with you because, well...I'm cornily excited that my friend met one of my celbrity crushes. :P
I finished Balzac and The Little Chinese Seamstress yesterday. I loved it, it was a perfect simple fable. A very enjoyable, yet easy read. Now I'm waiting for The Theif of Always (Ive got it on order) I <3 Clive Barker. |

Bryan took me to see Big Fish today, I fell in love with Tim all over again. It's such a poignant, charming film . The acting was spot on, I haven't been that impressed with Ewan Mcgregor since Trainspotting. My only qualm with it was the lack of Lisa Marie. She's been Tim's muse for so long, but since they are no longer an item, it seems she's been replaced by Helena Bonham Carter(who I love, don't get me wrong), a burton movie without her little cameo is almost like a score not by Danny Elfman. Anyway, anyone who is a fan should run out and see it now, it'll charm your pants off like a frat boy at a kegger.
After the movie we wandered around , drinking coffee and browsing the bookstore, then electronics boutique. I decided to treat us to lunch at coyote. While we were eating, we ran into Lefty, an old friend of bry's that we no longer talk to , because .........well, we don't talk anymore, lets just leave it at that for now.(I'm not too fond of the kid, but I'm nice to him for bry's sake) It was weird, I'm not the type to normally be nice to people I don't like, so I just stayed kind of quiet , which in itself is bizarre for me, so we all felt a little uncomfortable. Finally he left, and I paid the bill. We came home and watched some more of the Futurama season 2 dvd, and that pretty much brings us up to the present.
I'm almost done with that book Balzac and The Little Chinese Seamstress. It's really good, an easy read. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a few hours to kill and is mildly interested in the cultural revolution, good stuff.
I hate to say it, but once again, Ive got an itch to play the sims.(The Makin'Magic pac will be my downfall, lol:D) |

A loverly start to the weekend.
I woke up early had some tea, did and hour and a half of yoga, went out for coffee , it was a "me" day. I spent about 20 minutes in the bookstore. My friend Ryan works there , so I chatted with him for awhile. It was really nice to talk to him, he's one of those people that are just incredibly easy to be with, he's an old soul in a new body just like most of the people I actually get along with. I wound up buying three books, (they were cheap bargain books so it's okay) I got a guide to natural medicine, a beginners guide to Feng Shui and Balzac and the little chinese seamstress , it's a book that I wanted to read for awhile but just never got around to getting. I have a severe addiction to buying books, I just can't help it.
Tomorrow, Bry and I are going to his parents house, so if it's not too cold we can go for a walk in the woods. It's been fucking heart wrenchingly bitter this past few days, I feel like and eskimo except I don't have to advantage of being acclimated to the cold........and I don't have a harpoon. I'm going to leave a lil' bit of wisdom from my Dalai Lama (I got his page-a-day words of wisdom calendar for xmas:D) :
In order to be a good person, a warm-hearted person , it is not necessary to have religious faith. Without religious faith, there can be a nice person, a warm-hearted person, a happy person.
I <3 the Dalai Lama , I'd like to take him out for tea:D |

Today actually got a little more exciting:D
Bry and I went out to do a little shopping. We looked at coffee presses in Target(god how I love that store), but we didn't commit to one just yet. We looked at dvds, still can't find Schindler's List anywhere, if all else fails I guess we could get in from amazon. We did however, find Detroit Rock City and The Powerpuff girls movie(which bryan lovingly bought for me even though it's most definitely not his thing, he even agreed to watch it with me)
We got lunch at Coyote, grilled chicken foccacia yummmmmm It was just so nice to be out together.
Did some yoga when we got home, and I actually got bry to do a few poses with me. I did'nt get as into it though, it's really hard to focus and meditate when the TVs on and bry's cracking jokes about some commercial. I think I'm going to stick to an hour and 1/2 routine on Saturdays and a fifteen minute routine before I go to work .
I was a little bit depressed this morning. Sometimes things just seem to pile up and it all gets so overwhelming. I have to save money and buy a car so we can move out. Being unable to move out makes bot bryan and myself unhappy which leads to stupid bickering and useless agitation. Now, I have to pay for extensive dental work, not just the root canal, my whole mouth kind of needs an overhaul. After I stopped going to school, our insurance ceased to cover me, so I haven't had a dental check-up in about three years.(which bringgs us to why I needed a root canal in the first place.....)Just when I had about enough money to start looking around for cars, BOOM, this shit happens and now my bank account will soon be drained. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. It's just so frustrating. I know that soon , we probably will be able to move out, I'll have a car and it will be that much easier for us , just not as soon as I had been hoping.
Fucker.
Anyway enough complaining from this girl. Ive got to be up early for work, so I can make those much |
