life is good

i've been feeling prettier.
i've been feeling healthier.
i've been on top of the world.

50s music is bewitching

i started working at the royal oxford, a home for adults with post mental illness. old people are pretty adorable.

i've been working on quitting smoking, but it isn't going so well. in fact, i'm smoking a cigarette right now.

i'm in a pretty terrible mood today

some things shouldn't be told to some people.

today was a mixture of both absolutely amazing and the worst day of my life

shiner

i was punched in the face by spryfield chicks on wednesday night. it's a pretty funny story. if i like you, and you like me, i'll tell you about it

my new worst enemy

julia,craig and i stopped by. we sat on top for while. getting off wasn't very fun

a clean slate

my terrible past with video difference was wiped clean, and i've been renting up a storm in the last few days.
i rented rosemary's baby last night. the guy reviewed my rental past, and had trouble keeping a straight face. here's my track record:

1.tron (awful)
2.lady and the tramp (wonderful)
3.dirty dancing 20th anniversary (classic)
4.season 4 box set of columbo (YES!)
5.rosemary's baby

hahaha

this past month has been full of revelations.
1.i'm not that bad a person
2.i'm capable of doing really stupid things
3.walking is good for me, and fullfilling
4.i don't mind sharing a bed with someone as i thought i did

spencer the dinosaur

he's a diplodicus. he lives on my arm, and he's precious.
laura dawe is pretty precious too

things i learned today

-sitting on the steps of the bank on spring garden is a nice way to kill time
-a few tears in front of a boy is a thousand times worse than sobbing in front of a group of strangers
-i have -$7.80 in my bank account
-grilled corn is delicious
-my doctor loves punk music. his favorite band is bad brains
-sunglasses are great, whether it's sunny or cloudy
-i can write really good songs for 10 minutes at a time
-reading someone to sleep is satisfying

the tourist

it barks at no one else but me
like it's seen a ghost
i guess it's seen the sparks a-glowin,
no one else would know

hey man slow down, slow down
idiot, slow down, slow down

sometimes i get overcharged
that's when you see sparks
they ask me where the hell i'm going
at a thousand feet per second

hey man slow down, slow down
idiot, slow down, slow down

i learned how to play this song tonight. i also learned how to play 'pale blue eyes' and 'these days'
the tourist sounds really pretty
