Funky

And not in the 'Parliament' sorta way... Im in a funk, yall.

I dont know if its the weather...the fact that i decided i dont like what im wearing today...or the volcano like protusion coming out of my forehead (im a unicorn, hooray!)..but im just, like y'know. For lack of a better word-- I'm 'meh'.

Im sitting in my office reading about cute things** and listening to Les Savy Fav and drinking coffee with flavoured creamer... it aint working. I just dont know, man.

I think i need to go shopping at noon. Or maybe get a tattoo or something. Haha.

On the house front, I think we have picked a house. Well, two actually. A red one and a brown one. Ive been thinking in lists lately trying to decide which one i like more.. I have a feeling Jer likes one more than the other...and its not the one i would consider my first choice...but who knows. Id be happy with either.

I also just realised that i have not been intoxicated since New Years. Thats a fucking shame. Maybe I need to down a bottle of Jack, then get that tattoo...haha

Greetings from Siberia

No, not really. Its just -37 outside right now and kinda feels like it.

So, Im reading this memoir of a junkie and in an interview of the book she said that she chose to publish a memoir and not her diary posts, because sometimes she just wasnt that interesting and who wants to hear about her buying groceries and reading...

And thats why I havent posted since the 10th. Honestly. All Ive been doing is house hunting, sleeping, and eating. No real anecdotes or anything....although I am getting really good at Guitar Hero II.... and that Ive been having nightmares about the scary dude from No Country for Old Men.

As for houses, Jer and I have found TWO that we love...and neither is in our price range, but one is just outside that range. If I do get something, that will be considered blog worthy.

With so many years to fall in line, why would you wish that on me?

Note: Im going out on a limb here and not posting a picture of myself in a bikini. I know... y'all love looking at my flab squished in between a few triangles of fabric, but Im starting the new year differently.

Fuck man, I just realised that I have successfully completed another box of christmas-inspired candies here at my desk. Apparently all my clients decided to gang up on me this year and give me nothing but foods which shall remain on my hips and ass for the rest of the year. Uh, thanks.

BTW they were these little creme filled cookie tubes and were fucking delicious. Looks like Ill need to demolish another package of truffles next.

So Ive been house shopping for the last week. I am both excited and scared at the same time. Yeah, its kinda fun spending money...and when that money is measured in hundreds of thousands its an even bigger rush. Of course, its also a scary thought being in debt for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Maybe thats what they call growing up? (shrugs shoulders comically and continues dancing to Blink 182 'Whats my age again?')

Speaking of dancing, I went to a friends' bday party at a bar last night. On a wednesday. And I drank a bunch of shooters and some cider and cranberry. On a Wednesday.... And today I am bitch-ass tired. Fuck, I never knew i needed to be in bed before 11 until today.

Speaking of old people, there was this old guy in here for an appointment and now my office smells like old people. EWWWWW. Its like body odor meets Old Spice meets pipe tobacco.

2007: A YEAR IN (PARTIAL) REVIEW II

so where were we?

right

MAY

I was still in Costa Rica. I didnt want to come back, actually.



I did come back...and allowed my friends to dress me up like a blowup doll.

I partied like it was 1956 at a friend's "compound" in Rocky Mountain House with a bunch of hippies.

I turned 30. The blow of this trauma was weakened by Jer buying me Star Wars Art and a lizard named Kobayashi.



JUNE

Jer's hockey team had their annual kegger/ rock party with the Aces



I took an acting class where my instructor seemed to have a serious hate on for me... but i used the anger this created to channel my character...thus causing my scene to be super-awesome.

I saw Roger Waters...and took mushrooms. Sweet.

JULY

I had a big hate on for our receptionist at work. I hated this stupid tool...and her little pink dragon too.

There was a rock festival in Calgary called Sled Island during the long weekend. Jer and I took in a bunch of acts, including the A team, CPC Gangbangs,and the now infamous Les Savy Fav. My life will never be the same.

It was over 30 degrees for 3 weeks straight. Everyone was crabby and irritable. Jer and I tried to beat the heat by floating down the river on a raft (and drinking a bottle of Peach Schnapps) and going to Sylvan Lake.



Despite the extreme heat, I started an outdoor workout group. Nothing like running up stairs in 30 degree heat. Pukerama!

AUGUST

I was either really busy...or really boring...cuz I didnt blog once during August. Eep.

According to my pictures, Jer's team won the Marcus Warren Cup for the 5th time in their summer hockey league. Go Aces!!!



SEPTEMBER

Jer and I went to Waterton Lakes Park and Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump-- two cool places with even cooler names. We decided to hike into Montana on what we thought would be a 3 hour hike-- ended up being muuuuuch lonnnnnger. Oh yeah, and we took mushrooms.



I was reported to the law society. (FYI: It hasnt gone away yet) Fuck.

I went to a friend's wedding and managed to have 30 pictures taken of me with my mouth open.



I began the Fables of Juicy ( which are just on temporary hiatus)

OCTOBER

I went to Vancouver for a Bat Mitzvah...and ended up having a Quincenera!



I also I stalked some cute asian children and rocked out at the Aquarium.

NOVEMBER

I received a large ticket for forgetting (for 6 months) to register my car.

Me and Sonja had a girls night-- which involved us buying an accordion, getting sushi, and then becoming fucked up on mushrooms. We watched "Valley Girl" which, at the time, was the best movie i had ever seen.



Jer and I decided to go to Mexico for Christmas...mostly to avoid the awkward Christmas/ Hannukah issues...but also because I needed a fucking vacation.

DECEMBER

Over the Top Hip Hop 3 was a roaring success. I, for the 3rd year, wore hotpants.



I hated how busy work was.

I went to Los Cabos, Mexico. Y'all were jealous.





I became La Luz! the mexican wrestler...


the arch nemesis of



EL CHOMPISAURRR!

2007: A YEAR IN (PARTIAL) REVIEW

JANUARY

I started the year vowing to not be lazy (snort!) and then did my recap post. Apparently i did drugs on Jan 01. I also did more drugs for the rest of the month. Dang.



I gave up carbs for a while. It made me wonky.

While trying to do volunteer work with my greyhound rescue agency i "accidently" met, fell in love with, and subsequently adopted a little retard named Shock wave Eva.

I took an acting class. Woot.

This should be on everyone's list for best moment in sports-- and its from my baby oilers:



FEBRUARY

I watched the superbowl. The Bills werent in it this year to lose.

Jer decided to allow me to keep Eva. He said it was my Valentines day gift-- which just meant he didnt need to buy me anything. Cheapass.


Eva: Sweet gesture...or being cheap?

For our 2nd Anniversary/ Jer's bday we went to Banff. We got wasted at a fondue joint and ended up drinking the chocolate. Romantic!

The Oil traded Smitty. I got pissy...and still dont wanna talk about it.

MARCH

I hated daylight savings time.

I questioned whether people jackoff at work.

We decided that we would be travelling to Costa Rica in may... i immediately added learning Spanish to my hobbies ( along with lamenting about the Oilers and not eating carbs)

Digit bit a chunk out of Eva's face. Whether this is because he also gave up carbs, im not too sure.

APRIL

My bloggin took a sudden and horrible downturn when i discovered a little something called "facebook". Sorry, I was blinded by its slick good looks and fast talking.

We hosted a DJ night-- really all I did was dance and drink shooters



I wrote a play for lawday about Pirates and Sexual Discrimination. Fuck I rule.

A certain team failed to make the playoffs-- yet remained #1 in my heart.

I left for Costa Rica-- learned to surf, drank Pina Coladas, was in a bus accident and had a fucking great time.




TOMORROW: MAY TO DECEMBER... WILL JUICY EAT CARBS? WILL DIGIT START TO LIKE EVA? STAY TUNED!!

So much for New Years Resolutions

Back from Mexico, tanned, and already 2 days behind on my blogging. Will wonders ever cease.

Im prepping the year end post-- will be soon.
