i am the girl of 100 lists...

i have these lists of things i want to do. some of them are major things and others are minor things. one of the things on my list is to go and see a taping of the mercer report. i was planning on doing this maybe next year.

tickets for this season became available this week. it's supposed to be super hard to get tickets, so i put my name in. surprise! i got tickets. on halloween. kinda cool no? and there's a flight sale.

i can't decide on whether i should go or not. i probably shouldn't. but it would be kinda fun to spend halloween weekend in toronto. decisions decisions....

let's take the whole day off . .

i got the day off today! of course, i still had to get up early but that's ok.

i am not alone anymore in my house. i'm a little disappointed. but i think i will get more time alone in october.

i went and saw 'burn after reading' this afternoon. i love afternoon movies. i also love eating popcorn at the movies. i like to get the kids combo. tiny popcorn, tiny drink and a kinder egg. this killed my brother. especially since the straw was about two times the size of the drink.

i enjoyed it, in the typical wtf mindset i have when watching a coen brothers film. i wouldn't call it their best movie (i have a rather soft spot for 'blood simple') but still entertaining. however, the biggest laugh of the day came from the sports talk show we listened to on the way in. the guy said his friend went on a first date and took her to see 'bound'. we couldnt' stop laughing all the way in.

i leave you with one of the many reasons i think sarah palin is evil. when she was mayor, her town starting charging rape victims for their own rape kits!

tomorrow, i'm back at work and i really need to get a new cell phone. i'm rather enjoying not having one. it's driving other people crazy but yesterday was the first time i really missed it. i had to walk up two flights of stairs to pick up my friend. i was tempted just to honk (heck, it's not my neighbours!) but i was good.

alone again, naturally...

i'm trying to write more. it's hard. so i'll just be putting down random things for awhile.

i have been the only human in my house for the past few days. it's been very enjoyable. i never get lonely being alone in my house. and since having goober, i never really worry about being alone either. even if he is a big goof.

tonight, we went to stella's on the drive. i feel like i should like stella's more than i do. kinda the way i feel about broken social scene.

'the hour' opens tonight. i was talking to someone early who was excited by it. it fills me more with trepidation. last season they did manage to repair some of the damage caused by season three but who knows what they will do this year. plus if they don't change that damn theme song, i may go out of my mind.

i have been listening to a lot of xmas music in the past few days.

i interrupt this post to mention what a goof goober is. he is scratching himself but his tongue is flicking out in the same rhythm as his foot is moving.

i was at the library tonight, and this dad was letting his kid climb all over the security system. i wanted to say to him... look, if you want your kid to get injured that's fine. but do you know how expensive those systems are? i don't want my tax dollars going to pay for your stupidity.

i am trying to get out of working tomorrow. wish me luck.

the things we did last summer...

i took the summer off. i didn't mean to, but it just happened.

so, in spirit of back to school, here is what i did on my summer vacation. at least what i can remember right now.

1. drove to fernie and back. ate the best sausage rolls i ever had in my life. played with dogs. went to a cool bar called a bar named sue. saw a baby moose.
2. went to calgary for the tattoo festival. watched the hells angels duke it out in a killer game of dodgeball. trekked out to torrington to see the gopher hole museum. got snowed on in the rockies.
3. in one week, my camera, cell phone and computer monitor died.
4. saw my first show at deer lake. it confirmed to me how much i dislike rosie o'donnell.
5. went to the pne. the crazy food this year was deep fried oreos.

i also decided to add two more shows into my tv viewing habits. durham county and the riches.

last night, i saw spiritualized at the commodore. instead of facing out into the audience, they acutally faced each other. which made it great for me because we were on the side that jason pierce faced. not a word was spoken. normally this would have annoyed me, but it just seemed right last night. and at the end, he clapped for us. i love that.

i lack words these days but hopefully this will change.
