new MEC fleece hoody!
the youth 10 (49$) fit even better than the ladies’ xs (98$). slightly different, but fine with me.
woohoo!

OC transpo = win! (dedicated bus lanes on the highway!)
treeplanting sketchiness = fail. (will find out on monday, hopefully, whether or not i need to hop on a bus to cadillac wednesday morning).
update [trees and the like]
so i may not be fucking off to quebec as soon as i thought. now, to figure out if the boy meant “the wednesday next” as may 27 or june 3. definitely making myself at home at his parents place, without the boy…

and i’d argue that you can grow up with a similar idea even if your parents should have parted ways long before they did.

we will be food critics at some point in our lives. and get paid for it.
i get unreasonably happy hearing french in this place - a table of quebecois behind us at dinner 2 nights ago, parisian ladies at the souvenir shops. we switched to french with the parisian best day agent (with whom we booked a snorkeling excursion); she seemed pleased.
one of my favourite moments thus far: being subject...

for me:
rectangular sterling silver earrings in meetalls etsy shop.
fat: an appreciation of a misunderstood ingredient, with recipes. by jennifer mclagan.
gin.
film. a roll or two or three. i’m going to find uses for my lovely x-700 that’s sadly collecting dust.

artist statements
stumbled upon a random’s album on facebook who obviously uses the medium to showcase his work. gut reaction: each photo’s blurb took away from the art, and superficial explaination is trite and unneccessary. would i be less irritated by more esotericism?

can you miss someone you’ve only met once?
lsats
i’ve decided to write the LSATs in october. eep. this means i have to actually go through with registering for them. on another note: does anyone know of anyone who is HIRING in LONDON ontario?
concrete ground
back-from-the-bush-from-bugs-and-trees-and-oh! how i miss the smells. i’ve been neglecting my online presence, i know - so apologies. (this + blogger to be updated soon. and i’ll get around to skimming through your posts, too. promise!)
currently: apartment + job hunting in LONDON, ONTARIO. (from my living room; it’s draining)

a list.
clothes from club monaco (and banana republic… though i haven’t been to either in ages) have, like so many stores, gone “ah!-people-are-afraid-of-numbers-so-let’s-make-size-6-a-0”. so jon, i sympathise. nasty suprise: rotting potatoes. bleeegh. *edit from tomatoes. really, we had rotting potatoes. i must have wanted tomatoes when i wrote this* marché 27: tasty!

a sense of false intimacy.
the same reason for my dismay at facebook when it started feeding friends’ updates. with this one click away from other’s thoughts and random scrapings of words. no, wait: it’s spoon-fed to you, whether you like it or not. conversed with the boy with my irritation of it all, the convenience of it all, and the audience. who do you write for? subconscious censoring because of a...

i suppose that was, indeed, cryptic.
just went to meet with the dude in charge of hiring at the brewpub around the corner - benelux (fantastic fantastic beer - and yes, i’ve become a beer drinker!!). i had bumped into a girl i knew from res at the grocery store a few days ago, found out she worked at lux wednesdays, and was moving back to ottawa in less than a week. just happened that we were planning on grabbing a pint there...
fingers crossed.

why did they split arts & science this year? why are the venues SO MUCH BETTER than last year?? (sci @ sofitel, arts @ marché bonsecours)i feel bloody spited.
blood sugar restored. that is all.
foiled! :(
it’s only a ‘tentative’ schedule, but nothing usually budges once it’s ‘tentative’. my ONE exam is on the 2nd last day (april 29). meaning a very brief trip back to toronto before northward-bound. not pleased.
i am also le tired.
i am thinking about a boy, en route to an audition at western. blow their socks off!
hypocrite?
although our apartment has quite a view, the moon is not in plain view at this time of night. my laziness (that wasn’t quite laziness as i ended up working out for instead - getting ready for the planting season) didn’t venture outside in search of the lunar eclipse. current obession: the BBC series planet earth. which, during my bouts of procrastination today, inspired google...
des accents?
bah! why can’t i type with accents other than in office applications? must. fix. problem.
