In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey... -Beck The end of my weekend, a lazy Sunday (but really Tuesday) morning sans coffee. I'm dying for a coffee, by the way. I went to the movies for a record-breaking 2 days in a row, and am seriously considering a third trip. I took Kolio to see Pirates, which was both gross and dreamy, says the child in me. I then saw the Devil Wears Prada with my twin, and it was most excellent. Now everyone may rave about Meryl Streep, but hands down, ...

I don't know how far back it goes, but I definitely remember the first time that a guy told me he liked me, and I turned around and walked away... deliberately , even though I actually liked him. Of course, I was in grade school back then, but I am 100% positive that someone must have told me that this was the way to handle things. Go into your closest Chapters, Cole's, or Indigo monster store (or whatever it is you have there in your hometown), and I'm sure there's an isle or two devote...

Why don't they Do what they say, say what they mean One thing leads to another You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long but then one thing leads to another... The Fixx After reading LW's article He's Better Off Dead Link , it just brought up all the stuff that I've been trying to ignore at my place. I live in Native Housing, and for the most part, it's all right. The apartments are clean, it's income adjusted, and they take care of the outdoor work, regardless ...

Do a little dance, make a little love, Get down tonight. - KC and the Sunshine Band. I'm on familiar terms with both the good and the bad, the right and the wrong, and know exactly when it's time to take the gloves off or just to bite my tongue. I know how to be happy, and I know what makes it all go bad, but sometimes I take the other road anyway... I haven't been out in months, and quite frankly, I'm starving for it. I just want to go to my pub, order a pint of special...

I bought myself a second hand record player at a yard sale, and since then, I've been spinning some pretty cool music. I also had the opportunity to pick up three cardboard boxes full of random music, and it's an interesting haul. A lot of it is pure shite. I can't believe that somebody in the 50's and 60's shelled out good money for the syrrupy, gooey sounds, that I balk at labelling music. And, there's a lot of people out there who adored Glen Miller. But, I guess, it's the same as list...

Today is my Monday. In less than an hour, I'll be gearing up for another 8 hours of speaking to Americans about their cellphones, bills, and other daily fuck-ups my company has done to our customers. Oh, Happy Day. I've been using Yahoo's Launchcast lately, and find myself pleased with it. I hate almost everything Yahoo, including their useless Spam program, undeletable 360 blog beta, and continual sign-in prompts. But their music offerings rawk. I hate being a woman, so...

I've haven't been this broke in a long time. My work check got eaten by rent, and an unexpected necessary payment. Typically, it's not such a hard deal, or a surprise, to not have much left over after paying the bills. But following a rather expensive (for me) holiday, we didn't have much left in the house in the way of food and drink. Earlier, we had a housing review, that required a late spring cleaning. Subsequently, I tossed a lot of older stuff like dried pastas, beans, and unlabe...

My five most embarassing childhood memories.... all my work to block them.... undone. 1. Any school Picture Day during my primary years. I am a twin. My sister was your typical Native Canadian girl, dark skin, straight, long and jet black hair. She was always organized, neat and tidy. I was the female equivalent to Pig Pen. In the seventies, perms were hot. Not. On. Me. My short and curly hair was always messy with twigs, leaves, and other random objects. Anyway, my mother always...

Turned away from it all Like the blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love But it's so slashed and torn Why why why? Under Pressure -Queen/David Bowie My mind is everywhere and nowhere, it seems. Listening to the CBC morning radio show one morning, I heard of a woman who claimed that the Queen/David Bowie song Under Pressure always made her cry. I like the song, but admittedly, never really listened to the lyrics of the song, than just bopped my head...

Time is on my side, yes it is Time is on my side, yes it is Now you always say That you want to be free But you'll come running back (said you would baby) You'll come running back (I said so many times before) You'll come running back to me. The Rolling Stones/Meade I went to a reunion of sorts. A girl I used to hang out with in highschool was celebrating her 36th birthday and her husband threw her a surprise party for it. Yes, there was a theme (Prom-Enchantment U...

Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head. Summer in the City by The Lovin' Spoonful (John Sebastian - Mark Sebastian - Steve Boone) I've got city legs. We walked everywhere. We went to Kensington Market and Chinatown, the ROM and the AGO, and did the touristy thing at the CN Tower...

In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page... -Neil Finn/Crowded House. A morning of cleaning, followed by news of bomb threats in San Fransisco, pending Severe Warning weather watches brought on by global warming, and Oprah's midafternoon horror show about the Avian Flu/pandemic. Before it all comes down, I want enjoy myself. I want to watch some good movies, have a good meal, and go for one last ride on my bike, followed by a cool pint and...

- Go to Toronto for a couple of days with Kole and do the touristy thang. - Sleep in every morning. - Go to the Piggy, order a tray or two, and play pool. * see link. - Ditch work early tonight to see Money Money in concert and get a head start on holiday fun. - Paint my apartment: a bluey grey for my bathroom, a light brown/tan for the main living room/dining area wall, and another color for my bedroom. I want this amazing red/burgundy bedspread, but have no clue how to decora...

It's that time o'year, but strangely, this is about the first in a decade where I haven't had some insane crush on a fool. Okay, yeah, I still think the guy at work is cute, and find that some of my friends are completely and totally righteous, but I can't say that I can't sleep at night for thinking of someone else. It's a bit of a relief while at the same time being a bit of a bore. What did you say? Meaningful relationship? Sure. I know that other people have 'em. Unfortunately, ...
