Hrm. Alan Cross just told me that Kurt Cobain just passed Elvis as 'highest earning dead guy' last year. Grunge is dead, long live grunge? I guess this explains a lot about Courtney. |

I realize this is a strange and depressing way to break my lengthy LJ silence... but seriously. My brain has officially given up on the internet:
The fact that Amazon recommended this to me indicates that I need to rethink some of my life choices.
So.... how are you? |

Alright, the whirlwind is finally about to begin in earnest, and then I'll be back in regular radio contact amongst the land of the 9-5ers. If you're looking for me in the next month or so, I probably won't be here.
The rest of this week - getting my (hopefully pretty final!) thesis draft back from my supervisor, so i can fix, print, submit examination copies
This weekend - train to burlington, drive to Seaforth for a wedding, to Stratford for the reception, etc.
Next wednesday - fly to Honolulu
The following sunday - fly to Auckland
Two tuesdays following - fly to Brisbane
That thursday - Snakes on a Plane comes out in Australia, motherfucker
That sunday - fly to Ottawa
that monday - hope there's no horrible feedback about said examination copies
that tuesday - drive to pei
labour day monday - drive back to ottawa
that week - defend?
the next week - start work
holy crap, dude. see you on the flipside. with photographs. |

Now, i've been listening/watching the Beastie Boys since before I can remember (...cause she's on it). And after watching them on Conan O'Brien tonight, I'm ready to crown the Mix Master Mike'd version as their ultimate configuration. He doesn't do wonders for their albums, but the 3 of them live with him is just ridiculous. Hell, he's pretty good by himself, but really, they're an unstoppable unit.
Go buy Awesome... I Fucking Shot That on tuesday. You won't regret it (especially because you won't have to wait through that interminable Nathaniel Hornblower/David Cross stuff like I did in the tehatre). And see if you can spot my sister in the crowd (best... honeymoon... ever). |

Oh man, the good weather apparently brings out the city in Ottawa. I got to Bayview station last night, discovered I had 25 minutes to wait for the O-Train, so decided to just walk up Preston to Pub Italia. There were all sorts of characters doing strange things on the sidewalk... yelling up to apartments, randomly getting picked up, arguing about cigarettes, etc. It also turns out there's a comedy club down there now, a banquest/conference centre place built into a new plaza (where a wedding seemed to be happening), a Little Italy mural filling the underside of the 417 overpass, and various other cool looking places. Adobe also apparently moving into the new business/retail park, which I had assumed was yet more condos. Yay intensification!
I came home not all that late (probably around 1), to discover two guys passed out in the hallway to my apartment, sound alseep. I stepped right by their heads, no reaction. It kind of sounded like the party might still be going on inside... so I don't THINK they just forgot their keys, but who knows? Add this to our recent home invasion... and I really need to move out of this place. Ha. And by home invasion I mean a bunch of guys walking into our apartment, dancing with our female friends, and walking out with ~$200 cash, credit cards, and a purse. Said guys proceeded to stab somebody in the lobby, and throw them through the front lobby window. So glad I was too drunk and tired and emotional to be partying by this point, and had barricaded myself in my room with my phone and old CDs. Still a little unnerving. Lock those doors, people! Especially if you're cranking the reggae vibes!
There were more fun sketchy dudes hanging out on Elgin today. Eventually this somewhat out of it guy in the ATM started asking me questions about the envelopes... I thought he was going to ask about the new 'no licking' folding ones that TD Canada Trust got, but he was more confused about how to get the envelope door to open. They seem to have added more steps, so I walked him through it. He did helpfully point out that someone had set the ATM lobby on fire a week ago, which is why it was under construction again like a month after they replaced the machines. I guess someone didn't like the new multilingual service!
And I'm off to parents dinner, but not my parents, without the daughter. We'll see how this goes. |

so my ceiling leaked onto my computer table today, we had to call in a domestic disturbance last night while marking assignments at 11 pm, and i just sent my lady off to new york for the week... but life is feeling better than it has in a few weeks. The calculations (not simulations!) are humming along at school, everything but the theses are done, I'm finally getting new glasses tomorrow, emotional turbulence have been weathered, etc., etc. time to putter around the room, clean up papers, write e-mails, figure out life, watch hockey, etc. Oh, and my camera battery charger finally arrived, so I can start documenting said life For Your Viewing Pleasure. More on that in a bit, once I get F-Spot to do my bidding. |
