I am such a slacker with the updating.
I just hate blogging, it even sounds like some gross bodily function, doesn't it?
"I just blogged all over your shirt, sorry." No? Maybe it's just me.
So I just shot a set with the lovely Cherry I had never met her before so I was a little nervous but she is so down to earth and kind so it was a breeze. I didn't get to see any digital previews so it's going to be a complete surprise. I think it's going to blow all your asses out tho, so prepare yourselves.
As for news about myself:
I've quit safeway/starbucks because they are evil and treat me like crap for minimum wage. The customers are also crazy and spoiled and weren't hugged enough as children. Well, they're just really particular and grumpy especially decaf drinkers (REALLY grumpy)
The amount of starbucks in Vancouver is actually astounding, on Robson St. there are 2 of them across from eachother. There is basically one on every street.
The problem with Starbucks is that they've given their customers way too many options. You don't just order a latte and take what they give you and shut up. You get to pick the temperature, fat content, foamyness, flavour, caffeine content, everything!
Except here is a secret: sometimes those options don't make sense.... at all
So here is a guide for you starbucks patrons so the baristas don't think you're an idiot.
-extra hot = burnt milk
-half caf =stop kidding yourself and switch to decaf
- no foam latte = the foam and milk in steamed milk takes a while to separate so if you want no foam your drink isn't going to be done in under 3 minutes (the reason people order this is because they are cheap skates and feel they are being cheated out of half an inch of latte if foam is included, that's what they've told me anyway)
-1% milk= means I have to mix 2% milk and skim together, it also means you are really annoying.
and for god sakes STOP USING PRETENTIOUS ITALIAN/STARBUCKS LINGO. You are ordering coffee from the mcdonalds of coffee houses.
ex: "I would like that with caramel affogato" (I didn't spell that right) We had to look that up just to discover that the lady wanted caramel goop squirted on her hot chocolate.
Now that was a good rant! Moving on:
(Sorry I have the flu right now and therefore a lot of time on my hands)
On Valentines day I got to go on a date to the harbour tower in Downtown Vancouver. For those of you not familiar, it's a rotating restaurant with spectacular views of the city.
It was beautiful, the elevator up was scary fast tho. Everyone in the elevator made "whaaaaooooo" noises on the way up and the food was so-so even tho it was extremely expensive. But, I felt very special that night and that's all that mattered right? (I've actually never had a Valentine before so it was pretty groundbreaking for me)
I was also entertained that you knew exactly when to go to the bathroom because you could say "oh, here comes the ladies room, I'll be right back"
That magical night ended by me running into my drunk friends who just got kicked out of the bourbon for being too rowdy at a Doors cover band show. My friend Scott kept saying "I didn't do shit! They kicked me out for no reason! I was REALLY drunk and rowdy, but I didn't do shit!" and then he proceeded to pee in the middle of the street. Then we all played some video games, ate some mushrooms which caused one of my friends to start talking in slow motion for a portion of the night.
Great fun.
Oh yes, I also think it's time I introduced you to my trusty dog "Odie". It's really my mom's dog but I love him just as much:
We adopted him from up north in BC where, from what I understand, some farmer had a bunch of dogs he kinda ignored and they ran wild in a little pack eating garbage. When we first got him he was too scared to go for walks, never wagged his tail and stole all our socks and underwear and kept them under our kitchen table.
Now he stamps around the neighbourhood like he owns it. He also thinks I'm another dog and tries to talk to me. It sounds kinda like "mllauuwn mllauuwn *whine* mlaaa mllllllaaa"
Well that's all the interesting things I can think of at the moment and they might not even be interesting! ( I think I"m terribly funny tho)
I hope you all had a lovely easter holiday ( I don't really understand easter, and according to south park, no one does, but it's a holiday which is always good)
Don't forget to check out my rejected set: Clear Channel which I think deserves a good look since it's some damn fine nudity
and gold stars to everyone who figured out which band the name came from! I think it might have just been SonOfAPunk
Take'r easy
