well, the digital camera is ka-put until the batteries are recharged. i don't know if i'll get a better picture than the one already on my post, but i can try. and believe you me, i'm only funny from a distance. up close, i'm just frightening.
i'm not sure that New Brunswick is in my foreseeable future, but i would definitely be up for a drink someday. perhaps we'll meet at the Cafe de la Paix in Paris someday... where supposedly if you sit long enough, you're bound to see someone you know. it worked for me back in 1999, but i sort of forced the situation and planned to meet some friends there who were also in the city. (too goddamn expensive for a drink though!)
some people get headaches when they don't get caffeine... others when they miss their g&t's... i have rootbeer withdrawal. says a lot about a personality
It's because I've been listening to Silverchair non-stop in the last few days...and that's my fave song of that album...and that song was in my head when I read it.
i don't know why..... she swallowed the fly..... perhaps she'll die (remember that old camp song? sounds like the story above. probably with the same stupid ending.)
i don't have a scanner, so the best i can do is take digital pictures like the one i posted. are you serious about really wanting it? i might be able to find someone with a scanner, but i have to know how badly you want it before i go to the trouble. mmmm, delicious
you have to wonder whether it's a matter of pride or stupidity now... or what combination of the two. seriously, i know there's no reason for him to be worrying about reelection, but he's fucking every chance his party has, too. (which is fine by me, just wish it weren't at the cost of so much!)
well... i completely forgot what i was going to say after that. hmm.
a) well, it's good to have "moments" because they remind us we have a past which has the odd effect of helping us preserve the present.
b) i'm the same way with smells, but it's no surprise. scientists say the olfactory is the most closely related of senses to memory. don't know how or why, but that's that. lately, i've developed a very very bad smell-connection... something that would normally be a very pleasant smell and which a lot of women seem to use in perfumes or powders but which i've connected to a horribly sad memory. so, like, when i'm near someone or something that smells like it in public, it's all i can do to keep myself together.
c) no photoset until i feel like myself again. it wasn't just that i ended up having to take a month or more off from the gym, it was also that i wasn't concerned with what i was eating at the same time. hence, i've set myself way back... and the talk of photoset stuff was still somewhat far off when we were planning it. no number goals, just want to be comfortable in my own skin. how's your progress coming?
I had fiddleheads for the first time EVER yesterday. Very asparagus-like, no?
I'm not surprised that the Devils fell short this season. Replacing Scott Stevens and Scott Niedermayer with bums like Klee, Lukowich, Malahov, and McGillis (even though the latter two were gone during the season) is not a recipe for success.
I wouldn't mind seeing a Canadian teeam, but maybe not Edmonton. I'm still a little bitter about Klima's game-winner in the 1990 Finals. Fucking Glen Wesley missed the net...
Thank you for the story of your how you go your pup. It's heartwarming but very sad at the same time... and you have to wonder what became of the others. I have always said there should be some sort of test people have to take before getting pets - some people are just too stupid and insensitive. (I say the same about having kids, by the way, but I'm sure the activists would love that.) Our pound pup had been in his cell for 3 months when we took him home, and they hardly ever keep dogs around that long at the Humane Society. They told us he weighed 80 lbs. when he was dropped off (keep in mind he's 7 years old), and we knew he looked emaciated, but when our vet checked him out... he only weighed 57 lbs. He'd lost that much in 3 months! We couldn't imagine him ever having weighed 80. We thought it must have been a mistake. Yesterday, he had his yearly check-up, and he weighs 75. I guess 80's not out of the picture because he looks damn healthy now.
You like Esthero? I was a huge fan of her first album, but I found the second one disappointing - and after such anticipation. It's got a couple good ones, but...
I went and saw INXS last night. The new lead singer JD is from about a 3 hour drive from where I live. Last night was their first Canadian date and he was pretty stoked. He was a great showman. I'm old, so it was a good show for me. All the hits baby!!
Don't worry, I'm still listening to Lacuna Coil. I just took... Read More
i'm sorry, the only story i can think of involves how i spent most of my evening two nights ago sitting on someone's front steps with a puppy who seemed very much abandoned, and i already wrote that one out on my other blog thingy. the short of it: finally found her home and all was well, she must have just snuck out somehow. happy ending and all.
