I've got this bag of hammers


Good to hear things are spic and span with you Shark. Except the sick thing. I was going to hop to the walk in clinic on my way home from work today but the lady came out specifically to tell me that they were closed for lunch. Bitch.
Today I was pressured into making the executive decision to fire this girl at work. Think: two weeks ago I was an unemployed student type banging my head against the wall, today I am shooting from the hip at single moms with anxiety issues. All because Marketa didn't like her.
Went to another potluck where I only knew two people. Ended up talking to this guy named Leon from London (England) for about an hour as he explained the rules of cricket to me. The only thing I remember is you get 4 points for a ball that rolls across the line and 6 if it is in the air. And you run back and forth. Kat met this Kiwi girl at this other potluck last week, who invited her to this house that is supah- international and filled with twenty somethings wasting time working and drinking heavily in Victoria. They all met while skiing in Revelstoke in the winter. It was a little strange but also very nice to be around people who were so open and relaxed. It was in a duplex but they had cut a hole in the drywall between the two apartments so that they could walk between them. Except it looked like a mirror because the second half of the house is exactly the same. They called it Narnia over there. Someone was joking about wooly man creatures and awkward shower times.
I'm gonna go clean the bathroom. Didn't do any at work today so I think I can finally bear down.

sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick ( to the tune of "to the dump" song.)


Turns out the marimba band is playing the "international children's festival" on granville June 1st. June 1st is persians man's birthday. I like when fate in the world works out like that, and I don't have to try my hardest to see him with the itch is just unbearable. Also can I say we have like 5 shows this one weekend in august? Ranging from Campbell river to Vancouver again? Nuts. Ahahah I'm only telling you guys this, because fahlon just filled up my facebook page with events for the next couple months concerning the band, and it's just busy times!

Today is my sisters birthday. Even with a lack of a voice, I'm finding means to annoy the shit out of her. I painted this huge picture and I'm planning to stick it above her head in her room and I have th job to finish up the desert for her tonight. She wants pound cake and whipped cream and strawberries. Thank god, somewhere in the world, strawberries are in season, and canada has chose to ship it to us her on vancouver island.

Anyways, I need to get back to crime shows and my orange juice. whaaaaaaaaou

Keepin' it classy

Hey, y'all. I would update you on my life (cause, y'know. I'm sure you're just dying of suspense), but I'm listening to music with a very strong beat, too loud to think. I love this picture, though.

Who doesn't fucking like honey sunshine?


I don't think she looks that much like me. Just because of the hair colour?
The above (title) is a quote from my boss' son, who at 15 years old is already more cool than I am. He goes to beach bonfires, he's chatty, he smokes and drinks coffee, he eats 8 tons for breakfast. I've almost gotten used to waking up at 630 every morning. I start work at 7:30 which means that I should probably be getting up earlier than I do, but come on...
Anyway room-mate #2 has this cleanse book that is all about achieving balance through what you eat. It's also got a chapter about Ayurvedic Medicine, which has got me interested. Apparently there are three types of bodies in this crazy world, and we three room-mates have one of each. Here is an informational website. http://www.whatsyourdosha.com/
Funny though, last night I ate according to my dosha and was careful to go to bed early and not smoke illegal substances with the others but today I still had a fever. My eyes did that awesome thing that they do where they completely cloud over with multicolour interference and I go blind for a minute. This happened in the middle of a conversation with my boss, who was giving me instructions. As soon as she left the room I ran to the bathroom and sat on the toilet seat until I could see again. What if one day this lasts longer than usual? Is this even normal? First time it happened I was 12 and thought it was sunstroke. I had a minor nervous breakdown and my teacher (Vollmers) prolly thought I was losing it.
On a lighter note, here is another red head. Does she look like me too?

OOOOOOH AH~ OOH AH!


Victoria: city of men running in blue jeans.
We got our upstairs baby! I can hear he/she crying early in the morning and it is strangely comforting. I said goodbye to Brett today. He is in Quebec for the next five weeks. Hoo HA!
And apparently my cousin wants to reunite with the estranged part of the family so I may be road-trippin' to Calgary in late June. That should be just lovely. Hot and cranky for the WHole family.
Not a whole lot is new in this neck of the woods. (Notice that this is the only case in life when we talk about woods having necks? ) I have an interview at a cool looking b and b tomorrow afternoon. Going to a back yard bbq this evening, maybe I will make some friends to match my "b" themed lifestyle. But seriously. This bed and breakfast is run by this Eastern-European artist with an adorable young sun and a charismatic giant dog. According to the website anyway.
Here some good old Egon Schiele. Neue Gallery, New York. Try the Viennese cafe in the basement. No photography permitted inside the gallery.

Banana Man.

This is a tree I want. Morus Alba,

So that fire and Ice event happened and ended today. At the height of the festival there was thousands of people, and the people really loved the music. Mind you, I think the qualicum population are trying to get trendy, for the people of the town or some organization, arranged a flash mob, with about a hundred people to the michael jackson's hit, thriller. All I can say is that is the longest song in history. But the day went by without problems, ladies gave us free food and mothers of four year olds want us to preform @ upcoming birthday parties. The words are escaping though. Loose with the winds huh

I'm starving though right now, but I'm just torturing myself until dinner.
PS the tree above grows white mulberries. And white mulberries are widely cultivated to be the prime food for silkworms in the commercial silk industry. Who knew?
