$

am I really that desperate for money that I thought one of the "you can make thousands of dollars per month" ads on Facebook was true? yes. I am.

did I actually investigate and perhaps consider it? yes. I did.

I think I have a problem.

ARTISTIC AGENDA

Yesterday was a horribly long day, but very fantastic.

I worked from 10-6 and then Kaari and I attended the Opera Madama Butterfly, which was lovely and the best "Christmas" present I've ever received .

I then attended a fund raiser for Art City where I managed to dance my ass off, cut my foot (only because I dropped my glass), get drinks spilled on me (by me and other people), run into a customer and have a dance off. 

this is what happens when you give me crafts + gin:

"Kiss me I'm a Jew!"

(My plan backfired when the only men who kissed me were Przemek and his hotty BF in the striped shirt pictured behind me - I did get a lot of cheek kisses from hot ladies).

Me (my chest) and my beautiful potential Toronto Roommate 

and long time Jazzy friend (G)Natalie

Then Natalie, Meghan and I walked back to their apartment which took way longer than it should have, whereupon I realized I had been bleeding from my foot, sad, especially since the same day the year before I was in Paris with Kaari.

today I was hungover and I had to work and really incredulously hated customers and then I watched Grey Gardens (the new one) which was pretty good. I can't wait to see the full original documentary to see how true they were to the Edies, whom I love, btw. 

EARTH DAY

what did I do for you today earth?

• I took the bus and walked in stead of taking the car
  
• I didn't buy a bottle of water, and I recycled my glass bottle that I did buy
• I didn't leave my computer on hibernate all day while I wasn't here
• I brought a re-usable bag with me, but had to get a plastic one at the end of the day
• I hugged a tree...(ok that's not true)

Happy Earth Day Earth, hope we don't kill you in my lifetime!

THE HAPS

I went out to Kenora with my good friend Breanne this weekend for the mandatory attendance of a wedding social of which she is to be the maid of honor for. 1) we are infinitely cooler than Kenora. how this is possible is beyond me, but its true. 2) I won a foot bath! it has reflexology points and everything. 3) Breanne won a Wii! so sweet. 4) I realized I have all these Beatles albums on vinyl I never listen to so I decided to bust out Rubber Soul because it has In my Life on it and I really like that song.

Current status you ask?

soaking my feet in my new foot bath, listening to Rubber Soul and reading the Ramayana. Good shit.

also, I got this dress for my opera outting with Kaari/overall sexiness weekend time , but am thinking of exchanging it for the colour in the picture (I got black) - this is if we have my size left at the store) I got the clay colour!

THESE DAYS

I am getting increasingly frustrated with my place of employment - I think it is indicative that I need a change.

Also, I've not been feeling my prettiest which is silly really, but I just feel like I am totally undesirable, which if you've ever felt that way is really frustrating...its like, I know I'm cute, so why don't you? to make my feeling of un-prettyness go away I got some new sandals from Rooster:

they are called "No Parking" and they have fringe and they are really comfy.

I'm going to have a nap now...

CHORI CHORI

I could listen to this all day. In fact, I think I will.

SONGS

my blog post titles are getting weak. 

tonight when writing my essay (these essays are seriously never ending) I listened to 2/3 of the High Fidelity soundtrack over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. 

what can I say? I like a little Jack Black serenade... 

MOTIVATION

I am full of food and coffee. I just finished my classes by watching Bend It Like Beckham and now I am going to try my hardest to accomplish writing the pages I have set out to do in my schedule.

as motivation, I decided to wear a fancy sweater. here is a picture.

also I am listening to MIA to try and keep me from sleeping/simply giving up

NOTE TO SELF

No matter how many times I obsessively check facebook to see if something new has happened or refresh the page to see if people rsvp to my party (you're coming, btw) my essays will still exist.  

I DON'T NEED A MAN

these days, the best things in my life are double sided printing and safari correcting my spelling.

WHATS UP

Today was beyond the stupidest day ever.

but I have to remind myself to look at my background picture everytime I get angry because...

who could remain unhappy looking at this? this is my not-so-baby cousin Alice in Bruxelles whom I love to spoil with clothes when I see her.

and yes, she is eating chorizo sausage, clearly.

IS IT OVER YET?

I WONDER

So yesterday I downloaded this Stevie Wonder album and I've barely listened to anything but since.

So I'm listening to "Livin' For the City" and I'm like...I know this song, but it with different words...from a movie! so I use my pretty brain and think and think.

today when I got home from driving Fraya to the hospital to have her stitches out, cleaned the car and shined some shoes, it occurred to me. I know it from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen when they put on a modern day production of Pygmalion. 

kill me?

also, my car was filthy with old food and garbage. it was really disgusting and then I broke the dust buster trying to eradicate the sand, either from the summer or from the streets...I can't decide. 

THINGS

I have been listening to Stevie Wonder for the past 2+ hours and that is a-ok with me.

also, last week when getting out of the pool I slipped and bashed my leg - here is the week later result.

if you lean back you can get the full effect of the colouring.

edit: its gotten worse somehow. I think its spreading to consume my body. I think this bruise might kill me...that is if school doesn't first...
