postscript

the houseparty was in east van so i invited my friend donna to come since she lives just down the street. she asked if she could invite alexis, this girl from our high school, and i said, sure the more the merrier.
i must say, after meeting just one person i haven't seen in 10 years, i don't want to meet anyone else from my high school. she started playing the "that's your boyfriend" game at the party (where you point at an unattactive man and tell your friends, "that's your boyfriend! ha ha ha) and i looked at her like she was a leper. seriously. 10 years later and you're still playing that game?
she was a total drag. being all judgmental at the party -- i was close to saying, "who are you to judge? you chose to buy a condo in surrey and no one takes the piss out of you for that!"
i would rather live in a 400 sq ft apartment downtown than live in slurrey.

that invite to my 10 yr hs reunion has been chucked in the garbage. besides, the event is not even interesting -- a tea party?? i have to sit with these women for 3 hours over tea and crumpets? the person organizing this event is just as boring now as she was 10 years ago.

weekend of debauchery

last friday i wrote my final for business interruption insurance and was not impressed with myself, so off to the local bar i went and met up with friends for drinks. San and i were invited to a houseparty saturday night by one of the waiters so we took the address down and said that maybe we'd drop by.
saturday night we stopped by our neighbor's flat for a wine and appy party which was OK except for the fact that 80% of the people at the party had or needed a walking cane. then, jctoth and i drove over to sandy's and picked her up to go to the houseparty.
this house we went to was filthy. it was disgusting. there was crap all over the floor, a hole in the wall, nasty. didn't want to sit anywhere. HOWEVER the people at the party were a lot of fun, the tenants of the house were all australian rugby players. wowsas. as you can see i'm skipping at the details.
sunday jtoth and i had friends over to watch the hockey game - GO NUCKS GO - and lover made 3 yummy pizzas from scratch. i was worried i wouldn't have much to say to our friend's wife who came, and i was right. she wasn't interested in the hockey game and i was so in between periods or calls, i would make some futile small talk with her.
today, right now, i'm at the office and am swamped with work, since i was away for most of last week. emails up the ying yang. files up the wazoo.

anyway, there's a brief update on what i've been up to...
i've got to go cut my apple up into bitesized pieces now.

i'm still pleased

ok i didn't get brand new dress, but i got a nice sweater from banana...
Yay!

i'm happy, oh so happy

because I got a raise!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woo hoo! mama's gonna buy a new dress :o)

TONY DANZA! wowowee!

silence is golden

word to big bird, this is the first time in the last 3 days that i can hear myself think. it's so nice and quiet here. all i hear is the tapping of keys on the keyboard or the flipping of paper. so lovely.

kiss the blarney stone

after much deliberation, jason and i have decided to kick off our 2007 eurojourney in Ireland. we are lucky enough to have a very good friend of ours living in cork county, so off to shiralley-welly's we go! then from the southwest corner we'll be driving up the east coast to dublin, stopping to kiss the blarney stone along the way. (as i person freakingly scared of heights -- even 1m -- this will be quite an experience)

Ireland.

i am going to overdose on de kilkenny

YUMMY!

and.......if time allows, we'll spend the remainder of our vacation in london (i didn't get to go into westminster abbey) and maybe take the eurostar over to paris for a few days. (cross your fingers!)

YAY EUROTRIP 2007!!!!!!

single line pls

tomorrow i'm going to join the hordes of people lining up to get their passport renewed. although my passport expires in august, i plan on travelling in september again and better not leave it till the last minute. it's ridiculous really, this whole lining up for 5 hours thing. and it doesn't help that the american whatshisface said that instead of 2009 being the deadline to get your passport for land-travel cross borders, it's been moved up to 2008. (who understands this constant american fear and paranoia?) so i'm thinking the lineups will be even worse. and apparently, you're not allowed to smile in your passport photo anymore so my picture looks like a terrible mugshot.
why make travel such a pain in the ass now??

correction:

the bank did credit my account.
FINALLY!
a ZERO balance on my visa!!!

and in return, they hiked up my credit limit.
pfft.

say NO TO CREDIT CARDS!

busy march

lots of things going on in march. mostly work or school related. where did february go?
2 seminars, a midterm and a friend staying with us this upcoming weekend.
renew passport, training seminar next week.
product launch the week after next.
then the last week of the month is always shitty since it's month end.

bank still hasn't credited my account. wtf.

i need more than 24 hours a day. or maybe one more day to the week.
that'd be nice.
