Know what would be fun? Running around to people's the empty journal's who aren't on my frineds list and writing "there are no comments for this journal entry." Because it would be grey, so it would look just like the regular message, but with 'dholokhov says' above.

OK so I got my foot checked out and they have no idea what is wrong with it. The doctor said it looks a little like gout, but I have very few of the lifestyle issues associated with it, I have average uric acid levels, and I'm not, like, 80 years old. On the plus side, it's almost completely gone away, so he said not...

Oh. Front 242 was 1993, by the way. I missed it that year. I saw 1991, 1992, and 1994.

Go listen to the jazz pop version of Time After Time recorded by Tuck & Patti for their 1988 album Tears of Joy. Do it now. Steal it from the record store if you must.

I can't....it makes me think of Cyndi Lauper....which it turns makes me want to vomit legwarmers, so I'm blocking the whole thing from my mind
Replacement roommate for guy who was going to move in Sept. 1 bailed! It's not that no one wants to live here, it's just that they keep backing out after they agree, which has cost a total of 12 days that I could have been showing the place, and $80 for having to replace the ad after cancelling it. I now have exactly 14 days...

Good luck. I hated having roommates. 
Every time I take some time off work something bad happens to my body. In december, I booked a week off and had a flu for four days of it.
So I was going to go to Ottawa on Saturday to see my parents and stay until Wednesday. But when the new roommate bailed I had to stay in town to find a new one...

That's a possibility, but one I strongly doubt since many of the hardest abusers I know have either paused to take stock or have all sorts of fun medical benifits and tests and things that tell them they're fine. Sure, as a group, we're statistically more likely to have more scar tissue than anyone else, but we do all right otherwise. I just got my first cold in two years. I think your body has a thresehold for abuse, and when you yourself make every effort to met and exceed that thresehold than your body just works double-time to keep everything else the hell out of the way, since the quota's already been filled. But what do I know, I'm drunk all the damn time....

dude I'm in the States on vacation, that's why I wasn't at work....silly
uh-oh. room-mate for September 1 bailed. Must find new room mate in 21 days. Here I go....

I'm like... three blocks from the Jane and Finch mall. So pretty much any time you see "X Street and Finch" on the news in connection with some kind of shooting I can probably walk there.
Lucy and I are hoping to be able to find a nice cheap place somewhere less dangerous in the future.

Yeah... I know where at least one drug dealer here lives. He's in one of the townhouses in the complex we're in. It's a little... bothersome.
Once you get past Keele on Finch it's pretty nice. Everything past Bathurst actually looks a lot like Fort McMurray (where I'm from). I wouldn't mind moving a bit more that way. But once you get to Finch/Sentinal, Finch/Jane, etc... it's just shit.

it doesn't take much to make dholokhov happy. The new Chixdiggit! album does quite nicely. I am fully hep to criticisms that they may not be the world's most socially progressive band, but they have come a long way since songs like "I Wanna Hump You" and "Where's your Mom?". And the commentary track makes them seem like swell, fun loving guys.

'Why are you a Republican?'
'Because I hate poor people. I hate them, Donna, they're all so poor, and many of them talk funny and don't have proper table manners. My father slaved away at the Fortune 500 company tha he inherineted so that I could go to Choate, Brown and Harvard and see that this country isn't overrun by poor people and lesbians.'

How to Raise Your Children
an Important essay by dholokhov
They say its important to teach your children the value of money through hard work. Nothing could be farther from the truth. First of all, no one ever got anywhere through the sweat of their brow. Go read what John Ralston Saul had to say about HARD WORK (I was going to type it out...

Although certain others may call themselves shirt ninjas, I think these pics prove pretty conclusively who the true master is. 
As mentioned in the last entry, this is the shirt. Actually, this is a few versions of the shirt - the prototype, the second, and finally mine. Neither is perfect and each have some little problems (most notably that ugly grey sheen at the edges,...

Well she does have a habit of comment stalking me. So it's possible she'll run across it. But that habit also means she finds almost all of the horribly sarcastic things I say as well...
freakpirate:
I had considered it at one point but I figured it would earn me so many vomit faces from other people that it wasn't worth it.
Besides... whatever sucking up I don't do on here I try to take care of in person.

ok, I'm back. stupid me for not being able to find the reset button on the router - for two days!
I have slept on the stuff for the last entry and feel a lot better about it now. I am making her a really cool shirt, however, which I will post pics of when done.
