The scene last monday during the massive snowfall. This is right outside my house. I thought about helping, but i didn’t. It didn’t take them too long to get out.
They still haven’t “cleared” the snow from my street yet, i guess i don’t live near any rich/influential people. Hopefully this week they’ll clear the rest of it away.
I heard on CBC that it costs ottawa 3 million dollars every time we have 20 cm of snow or more. I hate to say it, but i’d excpect for 3 million dollars the snow would be gone by now. Mabye its 3 million dollars over 4 months? Theres no way they’ve spent it all already.
I may have mentioned this before, but i don’t often have regrets. Serious ones that is… i may regret calling a bet, or not paying more attention to some zinfandel’s flavour, but i rarely am sickened by a choice made badly.
Recently though, i was. I decided to get a full refund on my roger water tickets as i knew he would be playing the same night as the sens, game 5. That was a big mistake as one of my coworkers told me i basically missed one of the 10 best shows he’s ever seen, and he’s seen a lot. One of my childhood dreams was to see this guy, and i set aside the one best chance i’ll have to do so. Damn.
Another regret i have, but not nearly as serious, is not writing in here enough… i’ve said that before though haven’t i!!! Well, i’m not going to vow to do anything about this one, but i tell you, if mr. waters comes back to the shite old corel centre again (or place d’scotia whatever), i’m there.
I think this is pretty inspiring. Even without him ever earning a dime for it, I think its beautiful, and sad to think of what was happening to those precious baby seahorses (being chewed up).
I think its also scary and great that CBC calls it news!!!
Rented a really crappy movie tonite, “Jekell + Hyde”. It was ridiculously awful. No redeeming qualities at all. It did have a plot, a plot that was basically fully revealed in the first minute of the movie. There was a twist or a turn, but i didn’t care. I didn’t care about the characters, i didn’t care about the suspense, i didn’t care what happenned, i just wanted it to end. The only good part about it was the salsa i was eating whilst getting annoyed watching its crappinness.
There is news, to be reported soon. It involves kitties… once i’ve recovered from the crappinness of this movie i will report massively.

and i couldn’t be happier.
So i’m watching this funny video about sex and lawyers:
Sexual Consent
I saw beruit last nite at zaphods. Very interesting, albeit incredibly childish band. Ya, it was pretty large for sure but the one kid with add kinda got on my good nerves in so much that it was almost more intesteting to watch and see what he was doing than to just listen to the music. Bah, whatever, they’ve got a kickass vibe, i’ll probably check their cd for sure. I woulda got it there but all 8 of em were on stage so they couldn’t man their merch.
It has been a brain-searing week. Everything is super, great, and scary as all hell. There is uncertainty in ever facet of my future, and its all been chosen by me, and i couldn’t be happier. Only when greeted with a challenge, and facing it, can one truly have reason for such confidence. Bah, life is a test, its all risk, and nothing is gained without giving up at least a little bit of comfort.
Have said all that crap, looks like i’m voluntarily switching jobs to regain some spark. No more money, lots more hours, and tons more uncertainty… all for the sake of polyvalency (i did borrow this word from a friend).
All i’ve been doing is thinking, drinking, cooking (click on the pic to get the deets, not feeling too redundant right now), and vegging. Its been a great week. Now next week, i must start xmas shopping, in all of my *ings that i’ve been doing, i’ve also been incredibly selfish. Well duh? This is something i’ll have to work on. Yes, indeed.
A friend of mine is fasting for 12 days. Nothing but water, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cayenne for 12 days. I think my body is in need of a cleansing, and it could also use the break from all the unhealthy crap i’m feeding it. As well, i’d do more yoga (read - some yoga), and wouldn’t need an excuse to not run. I don’t like the idea of not eating for 12 (i might just do 10) days, but what the hell. I could then regain focus and plan the coming winter, holidays, reno’s, lustations, etc.. Speaking of which, i appreciate jessrawks comment, and i totally agree. Whilst i believe it, unfortunately, i’ve never initially had reciprocation based lust/infatuation ever!!! Bah, its gotta start somewhere i guess, what better place than here, what better time than now. Ooopps, sorry chemario, my lyricist/marketeer are the same person.
My and my bro headed off to montreal yesterday for a much needed escape and road trip. It was planned months in advance when we decided we should get the pump out of town and see nine inch nails during their tour. We were not disappointed.
The show was kick ass, like really kick ass for a large venue show. Death from above and queens of the stone age openned, both were good. But nin blew the place apart… which is impressive cause the bell center is a big impersonable place.
It was a good mixed crowd, people like us and older, who were fans from the early beginnings, and new fans, young folk, who were just as appreciative. Trent played all the old fav’s, did “something i can never have” which was kick ass, played burn, suck, and a bunch of stuff off the new album. All was well recieved, that guy can still perform super amazingly. I’d go see him again in a heartbeat.
I was up earlier than the rest this morn so took the opportunity to tour around town, as i’ve never really done that before. I really should head to montreal more often considering how close it is. Its got lots to offer, lots to see, and lots to learn from. Most of which, i’ve no clue about but i’m sure i’d learn bits and pieces with regularily scheduled visits.
Ok thats it for now. My cousins coming over to show me how to use this epoxy grout stuff. Luck be with me please!!!!
Today was a day of recovery, home renovation, and mystery chinese food. It took well over 5 minues to order a 16, a 25, and a 63 from ging sing restaurant in ottawa. Never eaten there, but its the only chinese flyer in the house. I thought, what the hell. #63 is szechwan style crispy beef. Half their menu has red items with a star, but nowhere does it explain what it means. #63 is red with a star. This beef is basically like beef chips. They taste like kfc too, definitely have one of the kernels secret indredients in em. I don’t know what to think about them, but i’m munching on them right now.
Thats all i’ve to say i guess. I’m being totally lame tonite, its 11:30 on a saturday and i’m still at home with no intentions of going out. My washroom is out of commission thanks to tiling, so i have to go downstairs and outside to pee/poo. Thats kindof a bummer. I need to make a home depot trip in a big bad way. Responsibility speeds me.
Ok, i just ate the last beef chip. Uggg… i don’t think i’ll get those again, but who knows, i could see myself jonezing for them at some point in the future.
