My baby left me down at the liquor store..

A conversation with a customer as I rang through his beer.

Cute foreign hipster guy: Can I sleep in your cooler?
Me: *hehe* Sorrryy..
CFHG: You can sleep in there with me.
Me: *pause* Here's your change.

the drunkest man in the world

the drunkest man in the world
misunderstands what he's overheard
morose one minute, more toasts the next
he's amazing, he's a mess
nevertheless
always well dressed
the drunkest man in the world
the ones he loves are the ones he hurts
he writes his wife every other day
he's got a way with words but he's a world away
there's a lot to say
he forgot today
he's my father's favourite poet
but you'd never know it
the drunkest man in the world
beer on his pants, blood on his shirt
sunken eyes and sallow skinned
the life of the party is the death of him
-the lucksmiths

On Thursday I am going on my second actual date ever in my life.

The thing is, I was so drunk when I gave this guy my number that I have no idea whether this is something I should be dreading or looking forward to.

The cat thing..

Sorry to leave you hanging like that. There was indeed a stray cat underneath my couch. In fact, it stayed overnight!! I could not get the fucking thing out. How did it get in at all you ask? I LET IT. I got home one night, a little tipsy, and the thing was meowing at my window. It looked so cute and sweet and my judgement not being as sharp as usual I let it in and fed it and it proceeded to get schizo on me and freak out whenever I tried to pick it up to put it back outside. I eventually grew tired of chasing it out from under various pieces of furniture and went to bed. There was no sign of him the next day and I thought the coast was clear.. UNTIL I SAW HIM IN MY ROOMMATES BEDROOM!! But this time I had help. We chased him with hockey sticks and whatever else we had handy until he finally ran out the window. The best part? THE CAT STALKED US FOR DAYS AFTERWARDS!! Cried at our windows, followed us around the neighbourhood, etc etc.. It's been a few days though and no sign of him so perhaps he has moved on to newer victims.

Sarah just spent 9 days here and it just made me super anxious to move to BC. Getting to see the Decemberists in November is just another exciting bit to it. I'm thinking about going to see the Silver Jews in Seattle in September too, but I'll still just be settling in so I don't know how realistic that would be.

Last night we had a sex toy party at our apartment and hilarity ensued. Watching Jon on all fours being done from behin by Michael with the help of a support strap is an image permanently burnt into my mind.

I'm pretty sure if I carry on the way I have all summer I'll kill myself before it's through, so I'm taking a week off from the shenanigans. I'll be in fine shape again for the long weekend. All I want to do this week is read my library books and squeeze in a band practice or two. A Watfor/Watfiv reunion show is upon us.

Shut Up I am Dreaming

Edmonton Transit should probably have some sort of no shirt no service rule.

After tossing the idea around for a week or so, not thinking I would really do it, I have decided to move to White Rock. It's only for a few months, so I think of it more as like an extended vacation. I just want to spend a few months with old friends and family, taking advantage of the shows that come to Vancouver and not Edmonton.. It'll be odd settling back in here after living rent free with basically no obligations in one of the most beautiful places in our country. Actually what I think will be even odder to adjust to is living in the suburbs again.

I'm nervous and excited about this.
