Major Nuit Blanche announcement this week. Starting to get ready.

Bought my skateboard today. Just a blank set, but I didn't need anything fancy, anyway. I've got to dig my old knee-pads out of storage if I'm going to get used to this thing.

Started patching up my driftwood staff. Used an epoxy putty called Quickwood to fill the unfortunate drying cracks. Next I'll sand...

I'm so tired.

Nothing to write about, really. I went to my local bar for the first time in weeks. Bought a couple glasses of juice. Played some darts. It was alright. I think I could get used to this.

Just donated some money to a woman in BC who's cat was dumped in a bucket of paint thinner. It's for the vet bills, which might end up being as much as $10,000. It was on the news. Check it out.

Whooooa. Long ass weekend.

So many world cup games at work. They made things busy. Luckily I took Saturday off for my mother and step-dad's birthday. Not a big thing, just city hall.

I ate pizza and ice cream yesterday! Now I have to eat extra healthy for the rest of the week.

On the bright side, my credit card is paid off. From here...

Just had to file another pay claim through the provincial labour board. My work is pretty foolish. All they'd have to do is read and follow the Employment Standards Act, and we wouldn't have to go through this.

Bike's getting fixed as we speak! YAY!

Going back to work tomorrow... not so yay.

I've been doing a cleansing ritual kind of thing for the past few days. I haven't had a single drink, and I don't intend to for the rest of the week. It feels weird sometimes, but I think that's my body readjusting to not being poisoned. I miss my red...

*** very 4th of July post ***

Ahahahaha. I made an imitation Big Mac out of a tofu burger at work today. It was sooo good. Actually tasted like a Big Mac!

P.S. Holy shit. Obama announced a TWO BILLION DOLLAR solar initiative. That's good news, my eco-lovin' comrades. If he doesn't get assassinated by the oil companies, this is going to be totally awesome.....

The Oxidizer Express is doing well. I can almost beat my time going to work. Still can't wait to get *my* bike fixed. Actually, still can't wait to buy a goddamn NEW bike. Preferably one that doesn't suck balls.

Today was Canada Day AND a soccer game at work. It was absolutely nightmarish. I couldn't even clean up my station before my shift was over....

Alright. First... the shittiest thing.

My rear tire is totally warped. How? By braking too quickly. Apparently the rear tire hopped a bit, and that was enough to warp it. (Read: CRAPPY. FUCKING. TIRES.)
Taking it in next Wednesday for truing and a general tune-up, hopefully.
I've only had this bike just over two months, and already all these mysterious and horrible things are happening....

Lame.

Today was lame.

Southern Ontario got him by a LAME earthquake.

Work was LAME.

I had a fairly LAME time at the bar tonight.

LAME LAME LAME.

Fixed my fender. My bike gloves were out of stock.

I also raised my seat half an inch. I think I'm at an ideal height now. That's good for efficiency, and my knees. Not so good for my crotch, though.

I need someone to give me a mohawk. I have clippers and I'd do it myself, but I think I'd slip. I also don't have...

Busy weekend.

Holy fuck did today start off sucky. Lost one of my bike gloves AND a screw popped out of my front fender for some stupid reason, and now it's a little loose.

Luckily the rest of the night at work went fairly easy. Hanging out at Einstein afterwards was actually alright again. It really depends on who's on bar.

I hope this is...
