today was pretty stressful. i am glad friday is only a few hours away.
tonight was good though. anati was in town.. we walked to college street for some yummy veggie burgers and frites with mayo. yum.
anat and i go way back. prob my longest lasting friendship at this point. we hooked up in grade nine or so... in the summer of our first year of university we travelled to europe and israel together. we didn't fight once, just worked on our tans... those were the days.
she's getting married this summer to darrell. another old friend of mine. i am going to be a bridesmaid. it blows my mind.
i can't imagine getting married, yet to some ppl i already am.
. . . .
i can't stop thinking #5 is a comic-style essay by scott mcloud, author of reinventing comics. the article explains how the effect of the web (like other mass media)upon art (writing, filmmaking, comics..). mcloud is brilliant in his ability to simplify complex issues through animation.
he is scheduled to speak at this year's sxsw interactive festival. i badly want to attend.
i only know of mcloud because he is one of the dude's personal hero's. unfortunately, since the dude rarely reads my weblog, he won't know about any of this...
so sleepy. going to watch the rest of the manchurian candidate and crash...

ok. ok. i should be long long gone from work but i find the internet so alluring. the dude is prob. starving. we decided to try and cook veggie chili tonight.
before i go, i will share with you my old friend tali's illicit fantasies... she's been trolloping up the online world at at sins.ca.
not quite on par with my cherished 'one-handed reads' in bust mag, but pretty racy for a good girl suburbanite.
ok. i'll take my perviness and go home to cook da chili. then the dude and i can rent a dvd, snuggle + fart all night. so romantic.

ps. check out mubu.com, the musical buddha. it's awesome. nomi and i had a great time discovering new music. it's like the old (now non existant) firelfy.com but improved. have fun.

there is something strange about sunday afternoons that force me to soul search.
still can't find mine.
last night the dude and i saw o brother where art thou. i love the coen bros. while wacky and fun, i couldn't help being disturbed by the sick animal abuse displayed in the film. when it's violence against humans i know it's fake but when it comes to animals, i assume the worst.
i am guilty of nodding off during the movie. not because of the content, i was just wiped after going to an aquafitness class in the afternoon. me and some grannies did underwater ballet to the tune of west side story. bizzaro. our instructor, let's call him, maurice, was a real saucy individual. he kept encouraging us to shake our booty.
i was happy for the workout even though it was cheezy... still, it's low impact and won't kill my neck. i don't think.
oh, before i go, itchy wanted me to share this link with y'all. click here for suggestions on how to get fired with pizzazzzz. it is dedicated to mikeh who's last day was on friday.
