Yesterday I lost my cat. Not gone for good though... I was lucky enough to find him quickly when a neighbour pointed him out in some bushes next to our apartment building. How or when he got away, I'm not exactly sure. I live on the third floor of an apartment building, and for him to have jumped seems a bit scary...

He's mostly okay...

Aw, poor kitty! I hope that cures him of his desire to sneak outside. Our kitty is constantly meowing at the apartment door, even though he knows that there is only a hallway out there. He doesn't seem to cry at the windows ever, even though he can smell the great outdoors that way. He's a bit weird, I guess.

Right now I am playing 'fetch the sock' with him. He'll run away in anticipation, which only diminishes the distance that he'll have to chase the sock, but he seems to think that's half the fun.

I hope your phone doesn't get shut off!

Hey, do you have any photos of your kitty? Barney stars in his own folder, titled "The fabulous Mr. B". He is an attention whore. smile

Well my little weekend is over now... and I didn't do a whole lot. But I got a few thoughts straightened out and cleaned a little bit too. Even got out for a run today.

Like house keeping for the mind, home, and body...

I feel kind of empty inside right now. Can't explain the feeling, maybe I'm just lonely again. But I'm gonna go...

I haven't seen it, but I've been meaning to watch "Night of the Hunter" lately...

I need to get a movie pass soon!

Had a fun pre-birthday party tonight. I told everyone that it wasn't really my birthday (until July 6th). Luckily, nobody seemed to mind, due to the fact that everyone was enjoying our posse and the music. Some of the guys that came out won't be here when my real birthday rolls around anyways, so it was a nice way to celebrate with them before they...

Happy unbirthday!

My weekend is always Wednesday and Thursday. My shifts at the bookstore are all the same, because not only am I a bookseller, I am also the music buyer's assistant. So my job is to cover the time that he's not in the store, which is primarily evenings, and then he gets Sundays and Mondays off, so I work solely in the music department those days.

I really hope that I get this job. I enjoy the people that I work with at the bookstore, but I really need more money. One entire paycheque every month gets put towards my government and credit union student loans. Then I pay rent (shared, of course), and utilities and groceries and then I have a little spending money. But it's not much, doesn't leave much for going out or socializing or other such non-essential things. But I like non-essentials like cds, books & other stuff, so it's difficult for me.

Sounds like you had an interesting night/morning. I wouldn't feel too bad about the dancing girls, what with clubs being like meat markets, I'm sure they're just on their guard, no matter who approaches.
colette79:
I am all about having "me time". I like to just hang out a relax after work.

The job I applied for wasn't totally blind, they were hiring for a specific position. I will also submit a resume into the general hiring scrum a bit later.

I love getting new to me furniture! I have so much fun decorating, I wish I could do more. We got a free bed from my grandparents recently (it was only 2 years old and pretty much in mint condition), and we also got a free couch for our living room a few months back (we had nothing but a motley assortment of chairs for about 8 months or so).

Up late. Again.

Come to my (fake/pre)-birthday party tonight (June 1st) at Hugos.
colette79:
D-oh! Not again. Did you have fun at least?

I worked 'til 10pm and then went to a friend's house briefly before coming home and mailing my kitties love letter reply. Then Nikonjustice and I went out for a drink, and then we came home, watched South Park and went to sleep.

All in all, pretty uneventful, but fun nonetheless. smile

Listening to "Joanna Newsom" - "The Milk-Eyed Mender" (album) (Got a taste for it again after reading Colette79's comments... first obtained it after a record store employee suggested I check it out in February...)

Today was not the greatest day. It was, however, a full day off from work.

In the morning instead of going away to Nanaimo for training, I called my ride and...

That really sucks about the tax return. I actually got audited one year, but it wasn't that bad. Mostly because I don't make enough money to have a very large refund, and therefore, I don't usually owe money either. I haven't even filed for this year yet. Oops!

Well, like you said, tomorrow is another day, and you did get a comfy blue chair, so not all is lost, right? smile
colette79:
I honestly think that the government doesn't really care when you file your tax return if they owe you money, but when the shoe is on the other foot, watch out!

I think the new Gwen album is so materialistic, but damn if it isn't really catchy. Plus, I like fashion, so if she covets Comme Des Garcons, I can't really hold it against her. smile

I listened to Joanna on the way to work again. It's so unusual, but I really like it. Nikonjustice (my boyfriend), on the other hand, does not. Well, pooh to him, 'cause he likes lots of music that I don't. tongue

Hope you get some sleep!

Listening to: "Sleater-Kinney" - "The Woods" (album)

Wow, it's kind of late. But I figured I'd update anyways. I'm having one of those "veg in front of the computer and stay up way too late" sort of nights. And by "way too late", I mean "waaaaay" too late. I have to be up at 6:30 to go to Nanaimo again for another training session. I...

Yay for being your first SG friend!

So how is the new Sleater-Kinney album? I've only read some reviews, but I haven't heard any of it yet. Right now, my guilty pleasure album is Gwen Stefani's, and I got this album called the Milk-Eyed Mender by Joanna Newsom that I like on a more serious level. It's really interesting musically, and she has the strangest voice.

I've always wanted to visit Victoria. I was going to spend some time there in the fall, but my plans fell through. Some day, though.

Is there really such a thing as being horribly positive? wink

Listening to: "The Boy Least Likely To" - "The Best Party Ever"

Gonna gripe for a second..

My knee is in a lot of pain right now, and I'm not entirely sure why. Yesterday after my little nap in the afternoon it started to hurt a little bit, and it's slowly been getting a little bit worse. I can't really think of anything that might...

POINT FORM:

- Listening to "Ted Leo and the Pharmacists" - "Shake the Sheets". (Side note: This morning I found out that some pharmacists make nearly $70 an hour.)

- Just met one of my neighbours... I'm gradually meeting everyone in my building. Yay! They were throwing garbage off the balcony below my own and I decided to say hi.

- Ugh... so tired... had...

Lucky pharmacists.

The only Ted Leo song I'm familiar with is Timorous Me, and it's a really great song. Do you know that one?
colette79:
Thanks for the compliment! I may be changing the colour again soon, it's quite badly faded after only a week.

My cat is only a year and a few months old. Is your kitten very much younger?

ps: may I add you to my friends list? I'll send a request, just in case. Just decline if you don't feel like it... smile

Life is good. I've been having fun on the edge. Went whale watching the other day and had a blast. Saw a lot of whales, but didn't get much for pictures. It's hard to know where they're going to surface, and then once they're out it's hard to get a picture fast enough before they start to go back down again.

Today i bought a...

I still don't have any new furniture. I'm not really sure when I'm going to actually go out and buy anything, since I don't have a lot of time between my split shifts every day. My next day off this week is on Tuesday, and if all goes well, I might get to go Whale watching with Kristy.

She also suggested us cooking up some...
