Just a quick update:

1. My marathon last week went really well. My time was 3:59:29 on a hard course. I was 14 minutes slower last year. So... yay me.

2. There was a fabulous thunderstorm tonight. I love it when it rains really hard. I took my dog running up and down the block and got soaked. smile

3. Argh! The rain flooded the basement...

Why thankyou darling, I can't wait to see your set!

Ah, the good and bad of the rain. I love the rain, but the heat and excessive humidity afterwards is awful! I like spring and fall rain, but summer rain is puke Hope you were able to salvage most of the things in the basement of the store.

miao!!

So what's new with me?

The only full-time employee we had at the comic store gave his two week notice a few days ago. Well, crap. While I understand that he found a job that offered better pay and benefits, I'm a little pissed off and here's why. A few weeks ago, we asked him to let us know what days he needed off during...

Ok, so my last journal entry wasn't very long. This one should make up for it, I think.

The renovations at the store are finally finished! The basement is now open and full of manga. Our manga-girl customers were very excited. We painted the walls a nice purple colour and it has been admired by many. Actually, the girls seem to like it but quite...

I'm not sure which cereal I was eating the other day. I think that it was one of those cereals that dirty hippies eat. biggrin

I read your comment on Doxie's dilemma in the Dog Group.

By the way ... I like your new hair and your dog. I have 5 dogs ... and many other pets at home too.

Can we be friends?

oops
I've been trying to post some pictures of my new hair, but they come out really small in my journal. I have no idea why, so if you want to see go take a look in my pics.

That's all for now.
Stupid computer...grumble.
Stupid me.... grumble.

ferrara:
yowza!! mohaks are so sexy.
and your dog is freakin adoreable biggrin

Small pics: What you are probably doing is copy pasting the properties of the thumbnail link in the pics folder. You need to get the properties of the image after you open it up in it's own window and appears larger.

Wow, it's been a long time since I updated this. Now if I can only figure out what I've been up to for the last month.
Mostly, I've been renovating the basement of my comic store. Bleh. Renovations never go as planned. You go into them thinking, "This should be done in X amount of time". Wrong. Take that "X" and multiply by 2 or...

I would kill a million hobos to have my mohawk back.

Pictures yes!

ARRR!!!
freakpirate:
That's awesome. I haven't been on a scavenger hunt in years.
I look forward to the mohawk pictures. I firmly believe there are not enough mohawks in this world.

ARRR!!!

Work is so dead today. Right now the store is completely empty. I managed to dodge the task of vacuuming upstairs, so now I can just sit and look at the internet. smile Of course, I did say I would wipe down the tables when the vacuuming is done.

On a different note, here are some things that make me happy.
1. My hair looks really...

Woohoo! New profile pic. biggrin

And now for a game:
I've been listening to this today...
Emotionless and cold as ice
All of the things I like
The way you look
The way you move
The sound you're makin'
In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

Name that tune.

I'm so worn out. Yesterday I worked all day and then ran a bunch (which wasn't the smartest move, since I was already really tired). This morning I had to get up early to work on renovating the basement at the comic store. Mostly this involves me ironing veneer onto shelving units and then moving the heavy things all over the place. I also get...

It's snowing like crazy here. Well, at least I don't have anywhere to go because I'm stuck at work. Just like every other Friday night. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
But instead of complaining I'm going to read the new issue of Marvel Zombies that I just spotted on the "New This Week" rack.
That is all.

The masquerade WAS part of the closing reception for Jewelry and Metalwork students at ACAD, with DJs and "roaming performers" which has a 96% chance of meaning bellydancers, since one of my friends in Jewelry has an American Tribal belly dance group. Had I checked your comment at 3 I might have tried inviting you out there for the 6pm start and totally ignored danny_g's griping, but I was too busy pining for a woman I've known less than 3 hours and basically wallowing in my own drama, so all my Friday night activities degenerated into "none of the above."

Monday should be interesting.
coriander:
Maybe you could ship some of that snow to Texas. The only kind of snow I see here is covered in flavored syrup and stuffed in a paper cone whatever
I might have to check out that Zombies comic, it's just a shame that there are no comic book stores around here mad I tend to have a taste for the grotesque, morbid, and unusual comics. biggrin

All I did today was work. Up early for the new shipment of comics and then modelling at the art college all afternoon. And now I'm off to run....
On a happy note: Pink!

I recognize you. Me oh my.

I used to want the red Modrobes so bad back in the day...I had an argument with a friend once that red was more my colour than hers so I could get them and she wouldn't. Dumb, eh?

True story though...don't doubt it!

And hi backsmile
