today at the grocery store, i saw two kids (sans-adults) playing infront of the bean section of the produce isle, singing random songs and poking beans up their noses. it was rather funny. however, i'm going to avoid the beans from now on, for fear that the offending beans were placed back on the pile after they fulfilled their fun purpose. the whole scenario reminds me of thistime i was at mcdonalds and this girl grabed a huge handfull of straws, got them all kiddy-germed up and then put them back. thank goodness for individually wrapped straws these days. if only we had individually wrapped beans.

but the produce isle wasn't the only place fun was had. the semi-cute boy at the deli counter that helped me had this awesome 70's porn moustache - and i'm still debating whether he was trying to be ironic or not. but apparently it buggered his math skillz, because my requested 100g of turkey breast turned into 212g, despite clarification on his part that i really only wanted 100g. good thing his porn moustache prevented me from wanting to correct him.

but the main reason i go to the grocery store i do, is that everyone that works there (minus the ones with bad math skills and moustaches) are so friendly. and mostly, they have cute stock boys - one of which asked me, 'how's it goin'?'. now, i know that he gets paid to ask people that...but whatever. he was cute. and i'm desperate.

now, i think i'm going to put away my groceries and walk to the book store. only one week until i blow this popsicle stand for a month - so i'll need a book to read on the airplane.

oops?

i wonder if you're on a conference call and you fluff, if the other people can hear you.

you know...hypothetically speaking.

flowery

i'm in love with rock star: supernova. i'm such a loser. i need a life.

the highlight of my week so far has been the ice cream cake at work today. i got a money corner piece with like three icing flowers on it. mmm. too bad the icing flowers tasted like cardboard that had been dragged on the bottom of a dirty shoe for three days. but the middle cookie/chocolate part really never dissapoints. so it really all balanced everything out for an overall delicious experience.

i think i'm going to go bike shopping tomorrow. i would like a bike. yikes.

bikes.

i have nothing new to say. i like motts applesauce.

pirate's booty

today, i was at the grocery store. i hate that you have to put change in the carts to unlock them, because it's very likely that i've just spent my last 25 cent piece, and am left only with a fist full of dimes, nickles and pennies. today though, i had the right change. things were looking up.

as if things weren't great enough, the best part came when i returned the cart. the sucker infront of me had forgotten to take their quarter back - bonus!

now that i have that extra 25 cents, i can get that operation i've been saving up for.

karma's a bitch

so, my years and years of spitting my gum on sidewalks, parking lots, grassy knolls and short people has finally caught up with me. today was a heinously hot day. hot enough to make old people stay inside as to not instantly shrivel up upon exposure to the midday sun.

but my evening started out as any other. i had to go to the movie store to return some videos, and popped out of the car to place the vids in the return slot. then, back to the car. and as i picked up my right foot to put it in the vehicle, my flip flop had a hesitation...one of those hesitations that can only mean one thing. gum. hot, sticky, gluey, chewy gum. right on my flip flop. a nice long string from the pavement, over the threshold of my door, right into my car. then, all over my hands.

thank god for purell and kleenex. but i've been had buy the gum gods - no more spitting errant gum for me...until next week.

anyways, i cleaned myself up enough to drive to jysk and buy a new sheet set.

then tonight, i dissipated my anger over the gum incident by discovering the best thing ever. take home chef on tlc. it's not so much the show that's good, but holy sweet peter paul and mary is the host ever hot. i want to bring him home and have him cook for me wearing nothing but an apron and a smile.

did i say that out loud?

but it's true. he's so pretty. and to top it off, he has the cutest accent. he says things like 'prawns' and 'ore-gah-no' and 'tom-ah-to'.

sigh. i'm in love.

hold the phone! joan baez just popped up on my itunes and totally surprised me. i don't even remember putting joan baez on my playlist. ah! mystery solved. forest gump soundrack. how queer.

too bad for baez i'm digging this instead.

now please, welcome to the stage....

so i was so excited to log onto one of my favourite blogs today to see that not only did they give a shout out to sloan, but that sloan is the free download of the week on canadian itunes! for those of you who don't yet use (and understand the subsequent awesomeness of) itunes, this single is worth the download in itself. not that this song of jay's is particularily more awesome than any other song of theirs...but it's free sloan, which is suh-weeeeet!

and in other music news, i love gnarls barkley. the video for their new single, smiley faces is also on stereogum. that song has been on repeat on my ipod for a couple of weeks now - and it is the only thing i like hearing at 6:50 in the morning as i trudge to work.

speaking of work: the hospital is teeming with cute construction boys. it's really hard for me to get work done. well, not really. but there was one especially cute one today who had the sweetest little smile. sigh. i really do have a crush on every boy. well, not every boy. yes, definitely not every boy....but most.

shaq attack

last night, i had a dream that i was dating shaquille o'neill. which is strange, because i really, really don't want to date shaquille o'neill. he's married, old, and not that attractive. if i had to date a married basketball star i'd choose kobe bryant. at least he's good looking.

i kept trying to avoid his advances by telling him i had a cold. it was really strange. i think i was just in it until he bought me my dream purse...but i woke up before i could cash in. dang.

i'm the smartest person in the world...and here's why

okay, so maybe not the smartest person...but i'm not the stupidest person. if my smart cup were sitting on a table, i'd say it would be half full. i'm just proud of myself because i just changed a lightbulb. whoo! it burnt out, i found out what kind it was, and went to the store, bought a new one, and installed it on my very own. i'm so domesticated.

now, i'm sitting here sipping my iced venti shaken black tea (half sweet!), listening to belle and sebastian and mentally preparing myself to wash some dishes. i've been avoiding it for a few days, so i've got to psych myself up to tackle the perilous mountain of cups i seem to have amassed. i suppose i drink alot.

thinking back to my week, not too much exciting happened other than i got to see someone undergo surgery for a total colonectomy (read: i saw them put this person under, cut them open, poke around their insides and take some of it out). it was totally cool - the only part that made me want to barf was when they gave the epidural right before surgery - i really don't like watching people get needles, especially painful ones. oh, and i suppose i wouldn't enjoy seeing them saw into bone either. give me blood and guts any day please! (and a cute surgical resident to stare at!)

anyways, i'm treating myself to a pedicure tomorrow, because i deserve it. i also treated myself to a pair of jeans, two tops and a jacket today...you guessed it...because i deserve it. not that i really did anything to deserve it. although i did find myself a place to stay when i'm in vancouver in august - two blocks off robson, right in the heart of the awesome shopping/restaurant scene downtown. booyeah. my bank account won't know what hit it! (other than too many pairs of shoes, too much MAC, and a pinch of more iced venti shaken black teas) i'm totally stoked to explore a new city for a few weeks, live a few blocks from the ocean, and use it as a 'working vacation'. oh! and i'll have to go over the the aquarium again.

well, those dishes aren't going to wash themselves. supper isn't going to make itself, and my clothes aren't going to get put into the washer by themselves.

and bottle rocket isn't going to watch itself.

until next time. adeiu. adieu. to yeu and yeu and yeu.

happy birthday you cheap mofos!

okay, so apparently i’m a massive loser. i found out today is 7/11…aka 7-11’s birthday. and on this glorious day, free slurpees are provided! i found this out about 3:50pm. at approximately 3:51 pm, i was in my car, and headed for sev *as the true 7-11 lovers call it*, ready to cash in on my free slurpee. booyeah. but lo and behold, when i arrive, i discover the ‘free slurpee’ really amounts to only a thimbleful. le sigh. to quench my thirst i forked over some cashola and bought a real slurpee. what a dud idea i had. leaving the comfort of my house only to have to pay for my slurpee! but all was not lost – i mean, i still got to enjoy said slurpee. it just wasn’t as free as i would have liked.

so I suck at updating right now. mostly because i had nothing to say. but now, work has started…and although i don’t have a ‘life’ per se, i still have interesting things happen on a day to day basis. like today, when i talked to someone about how they had four different kinds illegal drugs pop up in their pee sample. fun! and then there was this time when someone described their abdomen opening up and bursting out liquid that looked like ‘strawberry milkshake’…mmm! i bet their milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

but enough of that gross talk. last weekend, i had great movie luck. i got a 2 for 1 new release rental coupon from rogers, and rented ‘the squid and the whale’ and ‘c.r.a.z.y.’…both of which were awesome! i was pleasantly surprised by each. however, to those of you who still may read this, i must say there is cursing involved, and questionable scenes that may offend some of you viewers (a.k.a. ky). but i know that although you may scoff at some parts, you will enjoy the overall impact of both films.

well, that’s all for now. i suppose i don’t want to talk about everything interesting right now…i’ll have no material left for when i update next. Which I’m hoping will be back to regularily.

ciao ciao.

party on!

oh my gosh! i was looking at my conference that's in the oc in december, and guess who the opening speaker is?
