happy hallmark and $50 roses day! listen to me. i actually sent out valentines this year so i should be one to talk.
there are some not-so-important yet mildly amusing life-lessons one can only learn while taking public transport home in guelph, on a day of freezing rain, after working a 10.5 h shift overnight.
1. it is not a good idea to attempt to answer your cell-phone while walking on icy pavement, holding two bags, and smoking a cigarette. there will be no good news on the other end; and perhaps a bruised tail-bone for you.
2. sometimes the man with the longest, most elaborate mullet is the biggest gentleman. thank you, mullet-man, for giving me the right of way onto the bus step. i was sliding and could not have stopped.
3. it is a good idea to distract yourself from the locals (who are almost exclusively dull and ugly, well, the ones taking the city bus, anyway) by means of a diskman, walkman, ipod, what have you. please note, however, that no amount of wire coming out of your ears will stop toothless, jovially chubby women from trying to talk about the icy conditions.
4. just because you can now grow facial hair does not mean you should. for the love of all that is sacred, 16 year old boys, please shave off that pathetic excuse for a mustache and remove your 'bling' this instant!
5. no matter how cold and disgusting it is outside, your neighbourhood kids will be skating around on the road, celebrating the cancellation of school and schoolbuses, no doubt. and yes. they will also try to run their skates over your diesel boot-wearing foot. no matter what you do, you cannot outrun them on smooth ice. don't even try. let the little monster have your toe.
6. it will be on a day such as this that you will forget to take your house key to work. yes it will.
only in guelph...
observe. i am capable of love.
in other news, there are soooo many shows i want to see! someone please come see batboy the musical with me on wednesday! it will be so tragic. or at least ridiculously hilarious. c'mon.
death from above 1979 will also be in town on march 8th. i would like to go.
the kills are coming as well. to the horseshoe, i think. and soon. i don't know them very well, but i'd go.
and of course, who else, but STARS will be at the pheonix on april 14th. AANNNNDDDDD the organ IS OPENING FOR THEM! tickets are not yet on sale, but you bet your ass i'm going to that! interestingly, i cannot link stars because the damn arts and crafts label site is down again.
soooo i wonder how many of those shows i'll make it to. definately stars. again. like some little obsessed fan. but i love the organ and so it'd be doubling my pleasure, kind of like that shared sensation condom trojan came up with.
cuba is 3 sleeps away! too bad i have two teaching days (tuesday and wednesday), and a ridiculous assignment i have yet to begin.
i'll be back in TO this afternoon/evening. please feel free to volunteer your accompanyment to all or any of the shows listed above. but only if you're cool, k?
