What's up peeeps? I guess I just quickly bring you all up to speed with everything that's been going on lately in the life of me...

I guess I last left people in question as what went down with that beer study... Well, it went pretty well, seeing as how I got my $40 for my little time spent paying attention. Woot. I instantly went to the CDplus on Barrington and picked up a bunch of shit. Said shit was; Modest Mouse - "Moon and Antarctica" on Vinyl, Jimmy Eat World - "Futures" Special Edition CD, The Office first season on DVD, and Dumb and Dumber on DVD. I was pretty stoked. The Jimmy Eat World CD only cost me $6. YES! After I got home, I went out with Danielle to her place to listen to my new vinyl and nap and hang out. It was pretty fun. We then headed into work to finish off our last shift at the store. We spent most of the time pulling shit apart and packing some boxes. It was kind of depressing. Oh well, it was a really good job, and I had a really good time there while it lasted. Besides work, I ended up building a cardboard robot that I gave to Danielle's little bro for a birthday present. It was exciting. I hung out with Danielle for the evening after work and headed home around 12 and went to bed.

On Sunday I didn't do shit because I wasn't feeling good. I just sat on my ass and watched The Fellowship of the Ring Extended edition. It was great. After that, I talked on the phone with Danielle for a while and then took a nap, which wasn't the best of ideas. I ended up not being able to sleep, which didn't really matter because I didn't have school on Monday, AGAIN! What the hell. There was a lot of shoveling to do, and it was done. It took a team of 4 of us 1.5 hours to dig out my driveway. Meh, it's all done now. I took some pics of the finished product/the dog.











As you can see, the snow was pretty high up. Afterwards, I went over to Danielle's for the evening, which was super fun as usual. I had to leave at 9 because Danielle needed to study, BUT then we found out that she didn't have school and she came over for the rest of the evening. YES! I didn't get much sleep that night... Stupid Blueberry Tea. NO!

Tuesday, I went to my one class and then worked on an assignment. After that, I came home and then went out with Danielle. There was a little accident which wasn't good, but everyone came out ok, so I won't talk about it too much. We spent the rest of the day at her place and had some spinach pizza for supper. We took a nap, and then spent most of the rest of the evening laying around. It was relaxing and fun.

Yesterday, I went to school and then met up with Danielle for lunch and then it was off for a haircut. It turned out ok. We then grabbed The Office DVD's and headed to Danielle's to check out a few episodes. They were pretty good. Then, since we really couldn't go anywhere, we listened to records, fixed a computer, and I played some guitar and piano. We watched The Hour, which that new show with George Strompolopolus from Much Music. It was pretty cool. Again, I went home around 11:30 and headed to bed because of early classes. It was a good day indeed.

Today, the bus was late, and I almost froze. Fucking winter and/or Chuck Norris. I got to class on time and then finished my Stats assignment. I came home and then took a nap with Danielle. We went to her place for supper, after which we watched Dagrassi on VHS and played some Nintendo. I really suck at tetris. We caught the end of The Hour and then kinda channel surfed till we got bored and made some pizza. Then we sat in the living room and just talked for quite a while. It was really really great.

Now I'm sitting in my basement, kind of cold because my furnace is broken, and kind of warm because of a borrowed space heater.

Tomorrow brings sleep and jamming avec Dave K. Good time will be had!
That is all,
GFY,
Tony I

Quote of the day : "Huh." somewhere in the hitchhikers guide book. I laughed really loud on the bus when I stumbled across it.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!



What's the fuckin DEAL?? It's been a kick ass last few days. My last real update was sometime early last week. It was actually on Monday. That was a few days ago I'd say. I'll start my story from Tuesday then! HUH!

On Tuesday, I had to get up at 6 AM as usual!! YES! I love that. Well, not really. I went to my ONE class from 8:30 to 9:45 and then headed back home to bed for an hour. I would have grabbed 2 hours of sleep, but THE FUCKING BUS WAS 40 MIN LATE! AAAARGH. I was SO pissed. And it's not like the roads were bad at all. They were FINE all cleared and everything. And it was SO FUCKING COLD out. I almost died. The wind completely froze me. It wasn't fun. I eventually got home and crawled into bed. I slept longer than I should have and ended up being late for work, but I blamed my tardiness on the bus. HA. I was only 10 minutes late anyway, so it really didn't matter. I worked till close, and Danielle came to bring me supper during my shift. It was great. We hung out that night for a while after work, which was nice.

On Wednesday, I got a ride into school from none other than Allison! YES! She saved me a whole hour of sleep. I had a listen to the Kelly Clarkson CD (not my choice) and found that it is really crappy. The single that is out now is pretty catchy, but the rest is pretty crappy/sounds like Evanessence. Those two are really synonymous. Oh are they ever. Anyway, I went to my classes and whatnot, then I headed right into work. It was an alright shift, kinda boring, but what ev's. It happens. Danielle came to visit before heading into CPA for my bro's play. She again brought supper. She's awesome. We hung out again afterward, and it was awesome as usual. Woop.

Thursday, I had class! At 8:30! YES! I almost got stuck in Halifax, but the busses got me home a little late (no excuse needed for that) but safe. I then popped that quick update off, and then headed for Danielle's for the rest of the day/night. It was fun. We napped, had supper, played Mario Party 6 (It has a mic game!), and then played some "Scene It", which is the cool DVD board game that has a lot to do with movies. I won by more than half the board after about 45-60 min, followed by Christophe around an hour and a half into the game, and in a close third was Danielle's mom coming in at 3 hours. I schooled everyone (lucky rolls/SOME easy questions). I just thought I'd bring that up. Ha. After the game, Danielle and I had some eggs and then just hung out for the rest of the night, or at least until we went to bed. It was fun.

Today, we went out for breakfast and then headed into Halifax for a bit, we eventually hit up CDPlus on Barrington, where I bought The Smiths - [ST] album for something like $6.78 new. Yes! Around 2, Danielle had to head back to school, so I went along to visit with Beeler. I talked to him for a bit, and then after some time in the building, I got sketched out and just read for a while Danielle finished up her Film and Video thing. We went for coffee afterwards, which was fun. I accidentally discovered my new weakness, which is Vanilla Bean Lattes. Mmm. Then it was back to Danielle's for a drum session/nap and then off to supper, which was the highlight of the evening.

We went out to celebrate Danielle's brother's (Tophe) birthday, and it was pretty fun. When we got to Montana's, the place was PACKED and we had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table. We eventually got seated, but had a little trouble deciding what we wanted. I ended up getting Ribs and Chicken. It was damn good. After supper, they brought out a big hat and made Tophe wear it while they sang to him. It was quite hilarious. I took a bunch of pictures, so here they are...

Tophe did this...

Danielle's dad LOVES flippin' the bird. It was pretty funny. We then headed to Chapters for some random looking around, and then it was back to Danielle's to hang out for the rest of the night. We watched this thing on MMM about dead rock/pop/hip-hop stars. It was pretty cool. This was complemented with some Prince William Biography/MM Countdown. After all that, I headed home, and now I'm just finishing up blogging. And doing laundry. It was a super kick-ass set of days. What fun.

Tomorrow brings that beer study at the Delta Barrington and then work. And maybe a latte. Maybe. That's it.

What's the fuckin DEEEEEAL?

I'm sitting here at my snowed in house and I'm just enjoying the feeling of having NO school today! I love that. Except for right now though. I mean, Danielle is all the way at her house and I'm all the way over here in my basement. This is not the optimal situation.

Speaking of situations not being optimal, the CD store that I work at (CDPlus in Bedford Place Mall) is shutting down for good next Tuesday. I was only informed of this little tidbit of information on the Friday just past. That means I'll be jobless in a little over a week. I've looked into some options, but I'm more than certain that I'll have to go job hunting tomorrow before work and most likely on all day Thursday. I might be working for Jim again, which means higher pay, but I'd rather find another CD store to work at. I just don't want to work at Golden again, at least not before the summer. Oh well, I LOVE getting laid off from my perfect job where I got paid to sit on my ass and do shit all while hanging out with my girlfriend and listening to awesome music. LOVED IT. So if anyone is looking for something expensive (boxed sets) to pick up, I'd be GLAD to give you one of my staff purchases. LOVE to. Just let me know. I have to pick up a bunch of CDs from my hold box too, because I don't want to have to go through the process of ordering them again. Barf. I have to leave a few behind as well, but that's not too big of a deal. They were CDs that I could find anywhere. I tried I suppose. Enough about that though.

I had to shovel this morning, which wasn't TOO bad. I mean, it took a while, but the snow wasn't too heavy or anything. I really need a shower now though. But should I take one? No. Well, the answer is actually yes.

So what happened this weekend? Well, On Friday I didn't end up going out like I thought I was going to. I mis-read a message from Chuck explaining when peeps were going DT for Omars B-day. I ended up watching "Return of The King" (Extended edition) with Mike D. It was CLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN. Also, it was long. But OH SO CLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN.

On Saturday, I worked in the morning. It wasn't too bad at all, and I didn't have any bitchy customers to laugh at. Danielle came in to work around 2 which was awesome. I ended up signing up for a market research study on beer for Saturday Morning. They're giving people $40 to watch beer commercials and fill out questionnaires. And it only takes an hour. It combines some of my favorite things: market research and Beer. Woop Woop. At 6, I went out for supper with Sean, Chuck, and Mike D. It was loads of fun. We ate at House Of Mei Mei. It was pretty good food. Chuck ate a lot and almost burst. There was talk of porn, going full circle, many simpsons quotes, and lots of off-colour remarks. It was a blast. We drove back into Bedford blasting Stevie Wonders' "Part-Time Lover" and dropped me off at the mall to help Danielle with the door which I broke at work. I then stayed over at Danielle's for the night. Again. YES! We watched War Games (very The Strokes) and just lazed around. It was fun.

On sunday, Danielle and I went to church and then came home and made some eggs. It was tasty. There was some Tetris, and then we went to go see "In Good Company". It was really good. The sound track was also a high point to the movie. There was lots of the Shins and Iron and Wine. Delicious. Then we had some supper and went back to Danielle's to hang out for the duration of the evening. It was a great couple of days.

As I've already said, I shoveled today and I'm going to go take a shower really soon.

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!


I'm just dropping off an update for kicks. I'm so absolutely tired it hurts. I needed to change my classes around so that I could work (and also so that I wouldn't have a class from 6pm to 9pm on Monday), so I ended up giving myself the shit end of the stick with 8:30 am classes all fucking week long. Oh well, my weekend has already started bitches! That's right, every Thursday at 9:45am, it's the fucking weekend. So, what courses am I taking? Well, there's Accounting 242, Management 384, Commercial Law 201, and MSC 207, or, Stats if you will. I like my classes except for Management, but I'll get past the new marking scheme and the retarded profs someday. Right now, I'm sitting in a computer lab contemplating running around in circles just for the attention. Who knows... will I do it? No. I'm still too busy (I accidentally put busty the first time) with this little blog to expend any energy. I just got a IM from Danielle. Got to stay home from school she did, hmmm? Had to go to class I did, hmmm? Stop talking like Yoda I will, hmmm? Ok, sorry about that.

I just realized how random my writing is when I'm tired as beans. Beans? What the hell? Damn, now I'm hungry.

So, the fuckers at the SMU tech department disabled all the fucking sound cards. Now I can't listen to CD's while I work on this. Not cool. My math class was clean today. We went over probability distribution and 'Z' Charts. It was CLeeelelellcoelelllelcllcclean. In other pointless news, I'm now on the 3rd book of that Hitchiker's series, and it's still kicking ass. And bringing the funk.

Anyway, last week was Mike D's B-day, so I send him out mad props, and I send you all out pictures from the evening that ensued. We watched Seinfield, Napoleon Dynamite, and played some Roxanne and listened to some more of The Police afterwards. I took PICTURES!!! AH HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!



















And these are some Roxanne action shots...













What fun. I crashed on Harris's floor (location of fun) and made a break for it in the morning cause I had to work.

I slept over at Danielle's on Saturday night. It was fun. We watched Napoleon Dynamite and hung out till like 3 am, even though we need to get up early for

INVENTORY!!!!! WOW! YES! HUH! HAMMER!

That's right, we had to work from the LOVELY hours of 9am until 5pm SUNDAY in the STANKY ass mall counting shit. It was fun. Well, sometimes it was. There was a lot of stuff to count, and we took an hour long lunch break and walked around the fleamarket. It was SO gross. Just stuffy, mildew-y, and stinky all combined into one. OH and some DUMBFUCK was selling records, ALL of which were just in the outer sleeve with NO inner sleeve to protect the PRECIOUS vinyl on the inside. Not like there was anything good for sale anyway (well, save one BADLY fucked Buddy Holly Record) and the guy smelt like cheese. I don't actually know about the last part.

After all that, Danielle and I went to her house and ate some supper and took a nap. NICE! And then we played some tetris. I found out that I suck at that game, but I'm getting a bit better. Then, it was the Power Pad Olympics. That was so much fun. Woot. Then we watched this TV show about some guy in the Arctic. He ate a seals eyeball on TV. Gross.

I worked yesterday. It wasn't too bad. Actually, it was great. Sarah McHomohammer came by and talked for a bit around 5, which was good. Danielle stopped by about 10 minutes after McHomohomo left and brought me supper. And a guitar. It was very awesome. I love that girl. I restrung it and the proceeded to play it all night for entertainment. Then the door broke, but that's all taken care of now. I hung out with Danielle afterwards, and it was nice. Short, but still nice. We're hanging out today when I get home from changing a course around. Pictures of me with a guitar!





Tomorrow is Omars b-day, which means there will be fun somewhere in the city. I don't have money to drink or go downtown, but I'm sure there will be a pre-drink I can attend. B-day city it is. What? I don't know. I like crack. Or, is it I like not sleeping? Or I don't know.

OH YEAH! I just remembered that on Saturday night Danielle and I went to see Coach Carter. It was pretty good actually.

This game is REALLY hard. I beat it, but it took forever to get the last level. Try it.

I'm done. I've run out of random things to do and say.
GFY,
Tony I
