I wish the Tommyknockers would knock at my door, if only to tell me how to create that machine that Bobbi Anderson uses to stream her consciousness through the typewriter. I’m trying to write my analysis for a project I’ve completed and there’s so much running through my mind that I know I’m going to forget/ miss things by the time I finish writing what I’ve written.
P.S. I tried to find a picture of it for you. Don’t turn your safe search filters off Google.
I don’t know if I’ve just been too lazy or too busy to update this. A little bit of both I think. So what’s going on? Right now I’m making some sour cream and chives Sidekicks. Tassstaay! Haha. I just got back from my morning of classes. Studio for three hours where I worked on my model. Then I had an art history seminar where I had review for an exam on Monday. It was actually quite enjoyable. Now I’m having a bite and updating you fomos. I got a month unlimited pass for Moksha Yoga downtown. Despite the fact that I won’t be continuing it after the month, I’m quite enjoying myself. I think I’m going to get a couples membership at The Athletic Club (watch out for the music) with my other half. He wants to join anyway and for cheaper than yoga I’ll get access to way more. Plus it’s basically around the corner. And there’s a pool! If I miss my other yoga home I can always do a drop-in. Oh yeah, and it’s open 24 hours so I can pretty much go whenever I want.
Hmm, what else is new? These sidekicks are tasty. Oh! I ordered some earrings from Etsy. Three pairs. Aren’t they pretty? The pearl ones haven’t arrived yet, but I’m wearing the blue ones. Wow, this just got really boring for you. I had lots of great things I was going to say but now can’t think of any of them. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t updated in so long. Happy Birthday yesterday Ashley. Did you get my message? Speaking of messages; I got Paul a 60 minute massage for one of our many up and coming events. Valentine’s Day, 2 year anniversary, his Birthday, the day we’re getting married…
Oh yeah, the wedding is on May 1st. We thought it’d be classy to send out e-invites to the wedding… hope you all got them. I know we didn’t leave much time for planning and no one even knows about it yet. Kidding!! Although we will be married in the eyes of the law as of May 1st. We will officially be common law and I don’t think I could be any happier about it. :D I told him there’s not much time left to get away.. ha ha. Can you believe you only need to be living with someone for a year to be common law? Does that mean I’ve been married to my parents all these years? Isn’t that illegal? (Update: the sidekicks are gone).
So I have to work tonight. Don’t have a whole lot to say about that. Doing the grocery shop. Taking a cake in for the boys to eat, courtesy of my lovely boyfriend. What did I even post last. One minute.. Ah! About the nasty apple! Wow, it’s been a whole week. It actually seems like longer since I’ve posted anything. This week has flown by though. Like, bad (that one’s for you Dad). Don’t worry, I’m staying away from the poison! Does this sound like ramblings to everyone else? Perhaps I’m on the wrong train! Bahahahahah! Ugh. I could use a nap. You know, I don’t even think I lose that much sleep but just the fact that I get up so goddamn early makes me tired all day. Honey, I don’t know how you do it. I’m sorry I tease you for falling asleep early.
Oh I know. I was going to post this video for you to watch. Don’t feel obligated or anything.. it’s for your sake not mine.
There ya go. I’m really out of anything worthwhile to say. Not that anything I said today was worthwhile. Sorry no pictures today I don’t feel like going to that effort (maybe I am just too lazy). Thanks for listening. I’ll study for my exam now. Enjoy the rest of your days.
That’s a pretty tasty lookin’ apple wouldn’t ya say? It looks all buffed up and shiny. Jimmy would be proud. (That was for you Ashley). Yeah well, think again. I mean, it’s shiny all right, but buffed no. That gloss is the effect of some kind of shit that’s on the apple. Don’t believe me? Look at what happens when I try to clean it:
How gross is that? I’m so glad I washed my apple before I ate it. There was some kind of film on it to make it look shiny. Apple (and produce) buyers beware: WASH YOUR WARES!
Who knows what this crap is and I was about it eat it. And I thought I was doing myself a favour by eating an apple… HA!
If you find yourself eating too many of these apples I fear that you will not be keeping the doctor away, but planning a trip rather soon..
On another completely different note: I found this today while searching the internets and thought it was pretty. It’s my desktop background now. Enjoy!
Click twice to see it in it’s glory. Twice, not double click.
Well, here’s the article Jess and I wrote. Minus the small edits. But yeah. I’ve been busy and completely forgot that I had scanned it already and so here it is, a week late…. or more? Whatever. If you’re super interested and want to actually read it – as opposed to just witness our names in the paper – then click on it and it will open a new page and then click on it again and it will big it up for ya. Enjoy!
P.S. I have to leave for work in five minutes and I don’t want to. Ugh.
I had to create a model of this. Talk about a tedious fucking job. Here is the work in progress.
I made these bits out of cardboard. A kleenex box and box of hot tamales to be exact. Two boxes of Mike and Ikes were destroyed in the process. Then I pained them and skewered ‘em.
The ladderish thing. Pretty self explanatory
Used lots of hot glue. Burned my fingers a lot too.
Oh, and I cut my thumb with my exacto knife. Funnnnnn. Cute little purple tool, eh? It’s from Dollarama. You can tell. I had to keep fixing the little spring in it lol.
I told you about the reporting that was going to go on. It happened. This is Jessica, my partner. We’re basically as bad ass as good cop/ bad cop, but like, all reporterey. Don’t ask which of us is good or bad. We haven’t discussed it that far yet.
Actually the first time I’d been to this side of campus. Ironically, the event we were reporting on also happened on this side of campus, in the building directly beside the building that has my class in it.
Literally. I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for someone to show up to let me in to work. Not that I really wanted to be there, but it’s better than being outside, ya know? I have to work again this morning.
My old pj’s.
No, I wasn’t wearing these to work. This was taken before I got ready and left. Pj day has passed!
Sitting in the car… waiting for work.
I’ll bet you thought there might be some more interesting content to this post.
But literally..
all it’s about..
is waiting for work.
Bored yet?
Sorry for wasting precious moments of your life. Love ya!
Don’t deny it. The comment I get most from people, far more than any other comment about my blog, is that they love to see the food pictures. Hey, I don’t blame you. It was delicious when I ate it. This is what we had last night for dinner and likely what I’ll have for lunch today since I managed to convince Paul that we should save what was left over rather than stuff ourselves lol. Yay! Then we had the delicious-looking (and tasting) Pineapple Upside Down Cake that I made yesterday. You know, I should have taken a picture of the disaster area kitchen from preparing all this. It was nutso.
Would you like the recipe for this deliciousness?
Beef and shrimp stir-fry.
Orange and yellow peppers, snap peas, broccoli, carrots, onion, garlic…
Holy Prastication posting this! What a terrible morning I’ve had. I was so super tired when I got up that I had it cemented in my head that after I dropped Paul off at work I was going back to sleep. And I did. Not such a big deal. I set my alarm to 9. Kind of a big deal considering I COMPLETELY forgot I had a class at 8:30. Only the class I’ve been most looking forward to going to! Fuck! Why am I retard?! Best part? My alarm didn’t actually go off (because I forgot to turn it up, but that’s something else entirely) and so I didn’t actually wake up until 10:20. It took me another 20 minutes to realize that I had was at the moment missing my first and most anticipated class and I feel like such a fucking idiot! Then I made Sideckicks for breakfast and the pot overflowed even though I made a mental note to not overflow the pot today – like I did yesterday – because burnt milk is really, super hard to get off a glass stove top! FML. This pot overflowed as I was getting an email back from the EA of the guy that I need to get a picture of for The Ontarion that says he’s out of the office until Monday. I emailed this guy because the guy I need a picture of informed me this morning that he’s out of the COUNTRY until the 29th. Ugh. This photo has a Tuesday deadline. Guess what, by the way; I’m volunteering for The Ontarion now! Cool right?! I’m super excited! Jess and I went to our first volunteer meeting last night and all of a sudden I’m signed up to take a portrait of some executive dude and co-write a article with Jessica ahhhhhh! Pumped. Look for my name in the next issue, yo. So, I’m going about my business this morning trying to cook Sidekicks and clean up a burnt mess while dealing with the photo issue and stressing about what a tool I am for not going to my class when I realize, oh yeah, I have another fucking class at 11:30 and I’m in no way ready at all! I made it to that class thankfully, albeit dirty and possibly stinky dressed in the most comfortable clothes I could find. I wasn’t looking forward to it because it’s an Art History seminar and I was like, fuck, I didn’t get the reading done, my TA’s going to ask me art historyey questions and I’m not going to know anything. Turns out the class is awesome and possibly one of the classes I will look forward to most – aside from the fact that it’s super packed-full and I had to sit, literally, 2 feet in front of the door. Anywayssss, my TA is also a photographer, which is sweet shit because he’s super approachable and funny and I feel like I can go to him with unrelated to art history/ related to photography questions ha. Plus he made a point of saying that during his undergrad he hated seminars because of the single-you-out-embarass-you shit and would always deek out at that part and that the only time we’d be doing that was during our introductions… which weren’t as bad as I anticipated. He then proceeded to tell us an anecdotal (cool word) story about an interview at Chapters in Montreal where they were going around the table in French and having to say something about why they liked Chapters and when they got to him he pretended they weren’t going around the table and there was a super awkward pause for like, 10 seconds, and then the next person goes and he’s all nodding like, “oh yeah, that’s interesting!” HAHAHAHAAH! Funny guy. Anyway, this class made me feel a bit better. Plus I checked a couple things off my list of stuff to do today:
-call The Athletic Club for my love and take no shit – get membership fee info! (check!)
-go over course info stuff (since today’s the last day to register via webadvisor) to see if there’s any other courses I can pick up in case this History of Photographic Media one falls through – there isn’t by the way. Balls.
-sort out some banking shyte.
I had also planned to get gas (for the car, not me – I already have gas seeing as we ate beans and bacon last night), buy new wiper blades for the car and do some readings. I’m still going to do some readings but I think I’d like to shower first and wash all the shittiness of the day away and leave the fresh, awesomeness on me. If you know how to do this let me know. Otherwise I’ll just have a regular shower and hope I come out of it feeling better. Here are the pictures you so crave. Love ya!
First day of school. Swarms!
This meal was sofuckinggood!
Another picture of how long my hair is getting. No cut for like, 5 months?!
I really love these slippers.
P.S. I just remembered the NASTIEST experience I had the other day. Sunday or possibly Tuesday. I put a brand new, never worn pair of socks on and felt something in them. I figured it was a little string ball or something and it was going in between my toes and making me feel uncomfortable so I stop and take my sock off (which had literally been on for like 30 seconds) and what do you think was in it? Ok, the next person who comments with what they think it was and gets it right will get some sort of prize. I like to build anticipation OK? That’s why I tell you that I bought your Christmas/ Birthday present months before you can actually have it hahahaah. Guesses??
Well, since I’ve noticed that a lot of people are being directed to my site from the search of ”what does goga mean,” I figured I’d help you out a little bit. It means Go Out Get Active. I know, it’s lame, but it is what it is. Now GOGA! Jokes!! Take a nap.
