End of the Line

2006-04-21T13:42:00.000-05:00

Well, this is it. My last day of my field placement. It's very bittersweet for me. I really enjoyed my time at St. Joe's and I'm going to miss my co-workers very much. I'm off from Monday - Friday next week, and I have no idea what I'll do with myself since I'm used to working 6 and 7 days/wk. I'm pretty sure I'll be bored. I'll probably catch up on some much needed sleep. I figured it's owed to me though since I chose to work through my reading week. My article that I wrote about NEEMO 9 was published and I received a bunch of copies to show off. Woohoo! If anyone is desperate to read it (i'm SURE) you can pick up a copy at the hospital, they're all over the place. But it will only be up for about 2 weeks.
So with my placement at an end, I'm desperate to find a real job. Another summer of slaving away, making 500 sandwhiches in a hot kitchen everyday really doesn't have me all that thrilled. I've literally applied to like 10-15 positions, mostly in Toronto and I haven't heard a thing. Why is it so freakin hard to break through? So many jobs require 5-8 years of experience! And all the entry-level positions that I find are usually scams, who just want to rob students blind (*ahem* VECTOR MARKETING - don't EVER fall for that one. Trust me on this one.) And there's literally NOTHING in Hamilton in my field. That's not even an option. But, I digress...I shall stop my bitching and just keep on pluggin'. I have to find something eventually, right? RIGHT?
I'm working all weekend so I really don't have any exciting plans to discuss. I'm feeling like I need to drink though, like seriously drink. Haven't done that for a while...and with no school to go to...ooh, flashbacks to the summer. Yikes (feel free to browse the archives if you don't know why i'm having flashbacks.)
Oh, and I have to say that I highly recommend going to see "Thank You for Smoking" . One of the best movies I've seen in a while, and it totally reflects the industry that I want to get into.

Here's a little joke to end off your Friday (avoid if you're a devoutly religious, yes, this is a disclaimer)
A Priest and a Rabbi are walking down the street when they come across a young boy. The Priest says "Let's fuck him", and the Rabbi says "Out of what?"

Ooh snap...

2006-04-13T12:39:00.000-05:00

Booyakasha!
It's a short week crackahs! And that makes me very happy...
I have exactly one week left at co-op as of tomorrow and then I can start making money again! Ka-ching! Tonight i'm going to look at two apartments here in hamtown, one of which i'm a little excited about. It looks quite nice, although it's in a basement...so that puts me of a little. But i'm excited just to go and look. When i do find a place, you'd better believe i'm going to have one heck of a housewarming party!!
In other news, Happy Easter to all. I hope you all get the chance to bite some ears off of rabbits. And the title of this entry is a sign that i saw in front of a church downtown. I thought it was flippin' hilarious!
I'm also happy to report that Adrienne is coming home for the weekend! We plan to have a girl's night out tomorrow night, which is something i haven't done in far too long. Yay! Then saturday i'm doin...somethin...club...drink...i dunno. I just know i'm supposed to be doing something.

RESPEKT.

Please take the time to check out the changes to my little blog. Especially HANGMAN! Which is now located in the bottom right-hand corner of the page. Addictive and fun.
I would also like to mention that I just got back from having dinner at a chinese resturant and my fortune cookie said "Beware of cookies bearing fortunes." IS THAT SOME SORT OF SICK JOKE!?! I still ate the cookie...

Big Day...

2006-04-04T10:05:00.000-05:00

Yes it is indeed a big day for me today. Today at co-op we have a big event in conjunction with the Canadian Space Agency and NASA called NEEMO 9. It's getting a lot of press coverage, including CNN, CTV, CBC, CH etc...so you'd all better watch CH tonight at 6 and see if you can see me. I'm also covering the story for the hospital newsletter, which is exciting for me since it will be published. Basically, we're having all these grade 6 kids come in and we'll have a live hookup to the NASA astronauts in Florida so that the kids can be educated about the NEEMO mission and ask them questions in real-time. NEEMO is an underwater mission where a surgeon here at the hospital can use tele-robotic equiptment to perform surgery on a person underwater (and in other remote locations.) If you want to learn more, go to http://www.space.gc.ca/asc/eng/media/backgrounders/2006/0329.asp It's pretty cool stuff.

In other news, i'm sick AGAIN and i want to die. I'm high on cold meds right now. seriously. I've had this cold for like a month, no joke and i can't seem to kick it.

That's all for now. Remember to watch the news!

Happy April

2006-04-03T08:59:00.000-05:00

Ahh April, we're past the hellish winter weather and we can bask in the mild and rainy gloominess that seperates us from summer.
I hope the weekend was to everyone's pleasure. My weekend was pretty good. I went to a party on saturday where we played this board game called "The 7 Deadly Sins" which was basically a naughty version of trivial pursuit with some truth or dare thrown in. It was good times all around.
And now I find myself at Monday and longing for the weekend already. Lucky Number Slevin anyone? Mmhmm, I think so. Another Snatch/Lock Stock style american wannabe. Maybe it will live up this time...

For March 31st, 2006

"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better." - King Whitney Jr.

I felt this an appropriate quote since this is the last day of March, and because we turn the clocks ahead tomorrow night (don't forget!)

How I've missed you all...
I know it's been so long since I've done a decent entry. So I promise this will be chalk full of interesting goodness. It will make you feel all warm inside, i swear...

.... INTERESTING STORY ....
Victoria Lundy, 41, in custody in Chillicothe, Ohio, in January for a barroom shooting, apparently smuggled her gun into the jail at the time of her arrest by putting it inside her vagina. A shot was fired in a holding cell, and according to a fellow prisoner interviewed by the Chillicothe Gazette, the gun had gone off when Lundy sat down on a bench in the cell. (No one was hit.) [Chillicothe Gazette, 2-1-06]

Gives a whole new meaning to "money shot"...

Now, onto an update. Although I really don't have too much exciting to tell. I'm happy that the strike is over so that I can continue my night class and graduate. I'm still doing my co-op, which I am enjoying very much. I've been working like, 7 days a week between co-op and normal work and i haven't had a drink in wayyyy too long. I plan to remedy that this saturday. I have Sunday off, put will likely spend it doing schoolwork. Hmm...what else...Shelley is coming over tonight to watch movies and eat snacks with me. Yay! Oh, and time for another shameless promotion...this will be a painless one, I promise. MacBeth will be running once again at the Mohawk College Theatre in the very near future. If you find yourself interested, contact me for the deets.
And I suppose that's it. I'll try and keep up with my entries a little better...

New e-mail address!

2006-03-24T10:14:00.000-05:00

I have a new e-mail address that I feel is perfectly suited to me! Any personal e-mails can now be sent to: hollyp@skullmail.com anything businessey can still be sent to my mohawk address or even my mail.com address (but I will probably eventually phase that one out.)

I apologize for my lack of posts lately, i've been down for the count with a killer cold and took most of the week off of work. Nothing is all that new and exciting though. I'm still plugging away at co-op, working at the cafe on weekends and hoping for a strike resolution in my spare moments. I'm feeling as though i'm in a bit of a rut these days, but I'm going to chalk it up to spring fever. It's so close i can taste it....mmmm...spring.

Last night me and Jennifer went to Demetri and had delicious ice cream treats, which was fun. And tonight i want to go see The Libertine but it's only playing in Missisauga! What's with that?!? Bollocks. I want to see Johnny Depp get it on. But then again, who doesn't?

BACK TO THE SALT MINES....

Another Chance!

Alright, I promised a new entry and here it is...

So my parents went to Mexico last weekend, and I took the weekend off as one final hurrah before co-op started (esp since i don't get a reading week...) and it was a good weekend. I went to our end of semester party at Slainte and I was DONE. I had a ball though. But boy was I sick saturday morning. Kyle was HILARIOUS...
I started my co-op on Monday and here is a brief but accurate description of what I did all week:
Monday - Spent the day doing all of their backlogged media clippings
Tues thru Fri - Spent all day stuffing magazines into envelopes, labelling them with an address and then taping them closed.
And yeah, that's it.
So what did i do yesterday and today? Stuffed invitations into envelopes and labelled them...and guess what I'll be doing tomorrow?!? YOU GOT IT!
But I do enjoy it so far, i understand that these tasks although menial, must get done. And I really like the three women that I work with. We laugh a lot, which is great! I've also been told that I might get to interview Chris Hattfield (NASA Astronaut) for an article that I will be writing for the hospital bi-weekly newsletter. That sounds much more exciting than stuffing envelopes....hehe.
Hmm, what else? My weekend was alright. Went out with Elisha and Jennifer friday night and laughed until we almost peed ourselves when we saw Cad standing at his window staring at us in his boxers. Oh, good times.
Saturday i went to the cast party for Tommy and we played truth or dare jenga, which was a blast. Way too intense after a few beers...
And I suppose that now your all caught up. I apologize if this is short and to the point, without my usual entertainment value. I just don't have a whole lot of time on my hands (i'm at school as we speak, pumping out three ads that i have to have done by tomorrow.) But when i do have the time, I will provide some of my high-brow entertainment....

H

Yes, i'm still alive...

2006-02-25T19:43:00.000-05:00

I know, I know....it's been ages since I've updated! But I can promise you that a lengthly entry will be posted shortly. I started my co-op this week (on monday) so i've been crazy busy and too tired to write anything. I've been going to bed at like 9pm every night! AAH! This is so not me. This 9-5 lifestyle doesn't suit the female version of Kramer. I need a get-rich quick scheme...and some cheese.

Update to follow...

Today's Quote:

"Woke up way too late feeling hung over an oath. As the sun shone bright, thou walked barefoot down the road."

Guess where that's from and you'll win a fab prize. Hint: it's from a song.

I'm happy to post that today we did our IMC presentation, and even happier to post that we kicked SO much ass on it!! (How long has it been that i've been able to write something positive about school? Woah.) Wayne said that he gave us "top marks in almost everything" and the other teacher (i forget her name) said that our campaign was the first "real integrated campaign" she'd seen yet!!! AND IT'S FINALLY OVER!!! Thanks to my fellow teammates, you guys kick! This has given me some renewed energy to get this friggin semsester done with. Tomorrow night is Tommy, which i'm so excited to see. Plus, I need to get drunk and celebrate doing so well on that presentation...Loose Moose, here i come!!! I have no plans of even thinking about school until at least Sunday.
So now, for some mindless amusement...check this out. Seriously, check it.

Quote of the Day

"Love is betrayal, in that it flatters life."

Yeah, just think about that one for a bit. I'm reading "Couples" by John Updike and that line really struck me...

2006-02-03T11:53:00.000-05:00

Welly, welly, welly...it seems it's about time for an update. Although I did update last week, it seems as though its been forever. I'm very happy to announce that I've successfully cemented myself an internship at St. Joe's, which is one less thing for me to stress about. Yay! Another bit of exciting info is that it looks as though I will be moving to Toronto this coming September with Elisha and her significant other. They plan to rent a room to me for like 300 bucks a month. Dudes, I can't live that cheap here in Hamilton!!! I'm very excited about this prospect, and it's pretty much the only thing getting me through this last semester of school. I don't even care where I work at first, I just gotta get the hell away from all of this for a while.
In other news, I'm going to a Superbowl party on Sunday (in Toronto, i think) and i don't even like football! I think that just requires me to drink more beer than anyone else.
Oh!! I should also mention that I will be having a get together/gathering/brannigan/shindig (not a party) on the 18th of February at my house. I'm not sending out invitations or anything, so if you'd like to come just contact me.
I'd also like to remind everyone that next weekend is Tommy! I'll be attending the show on Friday the 10th. Anyone who wants more info either e-mail me or Elisha.
And in parting, I shall leave you with an entertaining link...

Sad day for Canada...

2006-01-24T08:08:00.000-05:00

So I'd just like to express my disappointment that Harper is our new Prime Minister. Everyone seems to think that he's the less evil of the three, which I think is laughable. But, I digress...I suppose that what I think really doesn't matter at this point. Although, I am happy that David Christopherson was re-elected in Hamilton Central. He's a good guy, and we all knew he'd get in again. But it will be very interesting to see what happens from here, we were truly a part of History last night...

P.S. Stay tuned for pics of Eli's new Beetle!!

2006-01-21T18:17:00.000-05:00

Okay, so with the impending election just a day away I feel it necessary to write some sort of entry expressing my view of the whole situation.
First off, it looks from this point as if the Conservatives have a good chance of being elected, which I believe is complete and utter crap. Stephen Harper is nothing but a right-wing crook, and if he is our new Prime Minister it is going to be a very sad state of affairs...why? Well let's just run down the list:
* He's a right-wing nazi...(too strong, ok. He's a right-wing Bush humper)
* He'll privatize our health care
* He'll want to make us a part of the U.S. (hence the Bush thing...)
* He doesn't believe in a woman's right to choose, and he is NOT pro-choice
* He is against homosexual marriage
And I could go on...Canada is a free and accepting country, so let's try and keep it that way.
So that brings us to the Liberals, and good old Paul Martin. Isn't he kind of like a dog, that you thought was loyal but since he bit you, you just want to put him down? Now there's a campaign ad for the conservatives. Martin did his best, but robbed us all blind and that's really no good. What makes anyone think he wouldn't do it again should the opportunity arise? I think I would like someone who knows how to count as my Prime Minister.
And onto the NDP and the everyman's man, Jack Layton. To me, the NDP is the only REAL choice is this crazy circus of an election. Layton seems like a good guy, a guy I could trust. He seems more down to earth than Harper or Martin (and smarter than Martin.) Layton seems to know what the real issues are right now (not just money and scandals and pointing fingers) such as homelessness and poverty, gun violence, public transportation and the environment, after school programs and educational funding (including tuition!) All issues that need to be adressed in this great province we call home. Not to mention that David Christopherson has done an excellent job in my riding, and feels as passionate about rejuvinating the downtown core as I do.
Now to the Green Party. I don't have much to say about the Green party other than if you don't like any of the other parties then they are worth a vote. They have some good views and ideas and need the support in order to get off the ground a bit more. For each vote that the Green Party gets, they get a certain amount of money which is great for giving them a chance at becoming a bigger party! (And yes, they want to legalize marijuana...)
So I'm sure from this little tirade you can all tell who i'll be voting for on Monday. And I do not wish by writing this, to preach my views to anyone but more in the hopes of changing the minds of all those people who choose not to vote. It is our right to vote, and we are lucky to live in a country where we have such freedoms. And the way I see it, if you choose not to vote then you cannot complain when the government does something that you don't like. So get up and get out there on Monday....

Guess what, crackahs?

Kickin' Night...

2006-01-18T08:49:00.000-05:00

So last night my phone rings at like 11:30, and it's Elisha and she wants to go out for a drink. Obviously, I was hesitant because of the late hour, but she insisted that she was bored and needed to do something. So being the wonderful friend that I am, I agreed. So we agreed to go to West Town and she told me she'd meet me at my house in about a half hour. And she surprises me pulling up in a brand new, VW Beetle! So we cruised around in the beetle for a while and didn't even get a drink, because we were having so much fun just driving around the city. So this entry is to congratulate Eli on her new purchase! Yay!!
So now I have to go and get ready for school. Today is the first day of the night course that i have to take, so i'll be at school til 9:30pm, Yuck. :(

Setting the Record Straight

Ok, so clearly I need to straighten some things up about my last entry....
If your reading this, it wasn't about YOU.
So please don't come to my door with baseball bats and pitchforks...

Self Loathing And You...

2006-01-17T07:35:00.000-05:00

I apologize, but I need to get this off my chest.
It's really unattractive and kind of pathetic when people are ALWAYS feeling sorry for themselves, thinking that they've got it so bad in life. It's like, look around...your life could be a hell of a lot worse and maybe if you actually educated yourself about what was going on in the world around you, you'd realize that. Not to even mention, that hearing the old self-pity rountine gets old reeeeal fast.
That's all.

P.S. And who refers to themself in the third person?

It's about time...

2006-01-12T15:14:00.000-05:00

Okay so I figured it was about time I did a proper entry. I know it's been a while, but I haven't been having much motivation lately. (Uh, could that be because the Advertising program at MOHAWK COLLEGE is sucking my soul away? Yes, it could.) I hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays and are off to a great start for 2006. My holidays were a total blast, busy, but that's the way I like it.
So, i've started what should (hopefully) be my last semester of school, and that knowledge alone is the only thing that keeps me going. But it will be done before I even know it :)
I know this is cliche and boring, but i must mention the weather. Today it's like 8 degrees outside! It's January 12th! It's amazing and I love it and if your going to bitch at me because you like skiing and snowboarding, don't bother...i shouldn't even have to say why.
WOAH! I just looked up at the menu on my little page here, and it says that there is to be a "scheduled outage" at 3:30 and it's now 3:20...so i'd better be wrapping this up.
Uh, "I like you because you're not right in the head." Thanks, Christoph....

Go see Tommy!

True Story...

2005-12-29T21:20:00.000-05:00

LOWER PAXTON TWP.
Bizarre incident results in 6 charges
Teacher accused of attacking police
Thursday, December 29, 2005
BY REGGIE SHEFFIELDOf The Patriot-News
A Central Dauphin School District teacher faces charges of assaulting a Lower Paxton Twp. police officer and possession of illegal drugs after being arrested earlier this month while standing naked in the snow outside of his home, police said.
Curtis Lofton, 23, of Springford Terraces, Lower Paxton Twp., was arrested early in the evening of Dec. 10 after a neighbor called police to report a disturbance, court documents say.
Lower Paxton Twp. police said that when they arrived to investigate the disturbance, they found Lofton standing stark naked in the snow.
Lofton was charged with aggravated assault involving a police officer, resisting arrest, open lewdness, possession of a small amount of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of the prescription drug oxycodone.
According to court papers, when Lofton was asked if he was okay, he responded, "No, I am ... crazy, and I need a menthol cigarette."
When asked where he lived and why he was naked, Lofton is alleged to have said that he was "Jesus Christ" and that the officer must be "God," court papers say.
A scuffle broke out between the two men during which Lofton is alleged to have hit the officer over the head with a long plastic toy trumpet which he scooped up from nearby.
The officer used his pepper spray on Lofton, at first to no avail. Then a cursing Lofton advised the officer that "'Jesus' is now blind," court papers say.
Central Dauphin School District spokeswoman Shannon Spencer said that the school would have no comment on Lofton, a second-year French teacher, and his troubles with the law.
"No comment. That's something we won't be releasing," Spencer said.
Lofton's attorney, Terrence J. McGowan, said that the school district had scheduled a meeting to discuss Lofton's future. Lofton taught in Central Dauphin High School.
"Basically, he had some mental health issues that hopefully are in remission. I don't think it affects his ability to be a French teacher and it wasn't school-related, so we're hoping we can get him back to work," McGowan said.
McGowan said that his defense of his client was somewhat complicated in that his client did not recall any of the events of Dec. 10.
McGowan said that Lofton's performance reviews have been "excellent" and that he had an "impeccable" record as a teacher.
"At this point, I don't know what the school's intentions are," he said.
Lofton is currently undergoing a psychiatric examination and has been released on $10,000 unsecured bail.

Thanks to Adrie for pointing this one out to me....

So I've decided I quite enjoy this little game of "Guess the Movie" so I'm going to post quotes from movies more often, and the first person to POST THE ANSWER ON HERE (not, through msn or any other form of communicae) wins...something. I'll let you know the prize after you've won. It'll be sweet, don't fret. Last game's winner was Adrienne, she knew it was A Clockwork Orange so she wins a chance to come over and finishing watching it, since shes only seen the beginning and it's one of the best movies EVER

Okay, onto today's quote....

Ritchie: Alright, what do you want me to tell you? Get a fuckin' divorce then!
Vinny: Divorce is fuckin' evil, Ritchie. You got some fuckin' really bad advice.
Ritchie: Evil spelled backwards is live.
Vinny: You're a corny fuck, you know that?

Today's is a bit harder....but the names could make it really easy.....good luck!

Quote of the Day

2005-12-13T16:02:00.000-05:00

Now that school is done and I have a bit more time on my hands, I'm going to try and do a quote of the day again. And if you can tell me where this particular quote is from, you get a prize....

"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."

It's an easy one...

Time to get your party on....

2005-12-13T13:22:00.000-05:00

I will be turning 21 on the 21st of December, and that's only going to happen once in my lifetime...therefore, I am having a bit of a shindig. It's going to be on Wednesday, December 21st. Now, before you go "Wednesday, WTF is she thinking?" YOU try having a birthday this close to Christmas! No one can do anything! Everyone has staff parties, and prior engagements to go to on the weekends. I tried it last year, and no one could come out so I swore never to do it on a weekend again. My point is, if your not DEAD on the 21st I expect you to be there. If you have to work the next morning, call in sick or change the shift. OR just suck it up..."people do it all the time."
Hehehehe. If you work Wednesday night (Rob & Shelley, I'm looking at you) come out AFTER work. Novel idea, that.
Oh, and the 21st is also Adrienne's b-day so it will be a joint celebration. It's going to be a kickin time. If you haven't got an e-vite from me, and would like one just let me know. It's got all the deets.
It's an excuse to party, what more do you need?

I Got A Tattoo!!

2005-12-01T09:48:00.000-05:00

Yeah, that's right. I got a tattoo!! I can hardly believe I didn't chicken out! lol. I had decided last week that I was definetley going to do it this week, so yesterday I headed to Cottage 13 for "walk-in Wednesday" and I did it! The guy re-drew my image to how I wanted it and then transfered it onto me and tattooed it. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I had thought it would...anyone who talked to me before knew how nervous I was...but at it's worst it just felt like a really hot, stinging. Kind of like a burn. Over my spine tended to hurt more. I was gripping onto the bench so hard my hands hurt after, lol. And I sweat a lot. Hehe. Special thanks to Eli for coming with me!
If any gals out there are thinking of getting a tat, i would recommend going there and asking for Shawn, he did mine and he did such an amazing job...plus he was a fox! I'm going to get some batteries for my digital camera tonight, so i'll post pics soon!
Tomorrow night is my staff x-mas party, which i'm excited for. Me, Aileen, Justin, Monique and Nicole are gonna go insane. We plan to stick around the party for a while and then go somewhere else. Hehe, it's gonna be gooood.
Well, thats all i have to say about that. I just had to share my new, exciting addition to my body. I'll post pics tomorrow....

Hump Day sounds like it should be way more exciting...

2005-11-16T19:25:00.000-05:00

Okay boys & girls. Hump day is almost over, which means we are nearing the weekend, and that makes me happy. I don't have a whole lot to say, but i'm gonna do a shameless plug right now....
Tomorrow (the 17th), Friday and Saturday "Leader of the Pack" will be playing in Missisauga, featuring our own lovely and talented Elisha (Zuchini Zampini) West. Tix are a steal, so if you are interested contact me ASAP. I'll be attending the Friday night show if anyone would like to join me....

I would now like to say one thing...Snitches are bitches. Period.
Oh, and "Twits are tits." (thanks Shelley!)

Moving on....

Umm, thats actually it....

Boobs.

Go here for some super fantastic tunage: http://www.panicatthedisco.com

It's Saturday and it's Sunny

2005-11-05T12:06:00.000-05:00

"Welcome to Narnia"/ "Hey! Give me back my sock, ya goat bastard!"

So i've got a day off and some spare time, so i figured it was as good a time as any to update the old blog. So where to start? School maybe, it's always a major topic. And surprise surprise, it's making me insane. But i don't even want to get into it. Just retarded teachers, basically.
I'm going to see Saw II tomorrow, so stay tuned for my review du jour. I'm excited to see it since the first one kicked SO much butt. If you haven't seen it, i recommend it.
Adrienne is coming home next Friday!!! Yay!! I haven't seen her in forever! Why does Orillia have to be so dang far away?!?
Umm....what else....OH! I have a great story. If your a Seinfeld fan you'll REALLY enjoy this...
Okay so a female friend of mine (i'm not going to name names) calls me last night and starts telling me about this horrible first date she had with a guy and she goes "so he parks the car somewhere remote and we start, you know, kissing." And purely JOKING i said to her "what, did he take IT out?" (Seinfeld fans know why i said that) and she goes "YES!" which made me pee my pants laughing since i was just kidding. But this guy actually took IT out all of a sudden. On a first date. "IT?" you say....yes, IT! hahahhahaa. Sooooo seinfeld.
Moving on....
I saw Edward Furlong in Jackson Square this week, for those that are slightly less in the know (because apparently 90% of people have no idea who he is) he was the kid in the terminator movies, he was the main kid in Detroit Rock City, he was in American History X, and Pecker. He's a great actor. Anyways, i walked right beside him in the Jack. Which i thought was pretty cool. I imagine he's in town filming a movie.
I would now like to send out a huge CONGRATS to Elisha, as she has got herself a new job at the cutest little tea house in town (it suits her to a TEE, hardy har har) and she's already kicking ass there. So yay for Elish!
So I think that's about all I have to say right now. I must go have a shower and go buy some tea from my Zampini Pants.....

Unimpressed....

2005-10-27T17:07:00.000-05:00

So today's entry is a little less...well, lets say lighthearted, as most of my entries. I experienced something yesterday that kind of disturbed me and made me quite angry. So I feel the need to share it. I was walking in downtown Hamilton along King St. almost directly in front of the Right House, when I witnessed a man take a hot Tim Horton's coffee and proceed to throw it ALL OVER a homeless man in a wheelchair. And when i say all over, i mean all over. Like head to toe. Even the woman who was walking in front of me got coffee on her. I had my headphones on, so I can't say exactly what was said to provoke the attack (if anything) but either way, there really is no excuse for it. I mean, the guy was in a WHEELCHAIR! So of course, i'm very angry at this point. I check to make sure the homeless guy is okay and then chase after the idiot who threw the coffee. I was determined to catch up with him and say something, since no one else would (even though he probably would've punched me out, hehe). When i got to the corner of King & James, he crossed against the lights and i went out after him (not thinking) and almost got hit by a turning car, so i had to hop back onto the curb and lost the creep. He went into Jackson Square somewhere. I contemplated going in and finding a security guard, but as a friend pointed out, the security guards in there have a tendancy to be completley incompetent. So that incident pretty much ruined my day yesterday. I couldn't stop thinking about the whole scene. The poor man in the wheelchair was steaming because the coffee was so hot. I think i lost a little bit of my faith in my fellow human. It also pissed me off because it's just that kind of shit that gives downtown Hamilton such a bad rap. I mean, just think about how that would've looked to someone who was visiting the city. Yeah. Pathetic.
So i apologize for the depressing content of this particular entry, but I had to share.

This Just In...

*****HAMILTON ASSOCIATED PRESS******

Today, a Hamilton resident risked her life in order to save the life of one Bello Zampini. Around 4 O'clock yesterday police and fire crews recieved a distraught call from the neighbour that lived above the daring young woman, who would reveal himself only as "Cad." When police arrived on the scene it was discovered that the young lady was dangling precariously from her window, while holding onto her Kitten, Bello. Crowds of regular asian visitors to the hot-pot house below gathered round and watched in awe, gasping everytime the brave woman made a move. Police were ready to intervene when something very spectacular and unexpected happened; the woman hoisted herself back up by her toes and pulled herself, along with the cat, back into the apartment. The shocked neighbours, and crowds below cheered while Police stood stunned. It was a scene unlike anything this reporter has seen. After taking a statement, police were able to discover that the heroic woman's name was Ms. Elisha West (aka. Zuchinni Zampini) and that the cat had decided to hop onto the air conditioner, when it slipped and fell. Ms. West wasted no time throwing herself out of the window to save her companion. Truly a remarkable woman, and truly an example for us all.

I'm thinking of a word, and it's definetely NOT kitty....

Once again, it's been a while since my last entry. But i'm just going to ignore that and move right along...

Things are good, very good.

Watch this cartoon and get ready to laugh your face off...

It's David Firth, so you know it's gonna be kick-ass.

Yeah, that's about it....

Boobs.

It's been a while

2005-09-24T12:31:00.000-05:00

I know, i haven't updated in a while and i apologize. I have no other excuse except that i've been feeling lazy the last little while. Plus, nothing all that exciting has happened recently. School is going fairly well, with a few exceptions. Mainly stupid professors who shouldn't be teaching...but like that's anything new.
Today it really feels like fall outside, but i kind of like it. It's so fresh and crisp. Just perfect.
Oh, I saw Tim Burton's Corpse Bride last night which KICKED! It was the genious that only Tim Burton could create. Best part of the movie is the musical sequence with Mr. Bojangles and all the other skeletons singing and dancing about how the corpse bride...well...came to be a corpse. It was sooooo fun! Elisha was with me, and she enjoyed it just as much.
I've been sick with a nasty cold since Wednesday so tonight will just be a relaxing night, since i have to work at 8am tomorrow.
Anyways, that's all for now. I apologize for not having anything terribly exciting to say....to make up for it, i'll leave you all with this....
http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/boogie/
enjoy!

Don't make me get out my ruler...

2005-09-08T21:24:00.000-05:00

Yes, it's back to school once again. Today was the first day back so I felt it necessary to make a blog entry. First day back to the last year of college. Wow...
Well to start the day off, I was almost late for my first day of classes because i overslept. Yeah, i'm off to a great start, lol. But I did manage to make it on time, just barely. I had 2 classes, and they were both fine and the profs seem fine, and will hopefully stay that way. Next week we're going on a class trip to the Brantford Twin Valley Zoo. Yeah, that's right, THE ZOO. Why, you might ask? Well, we're using them as a client and we need to interview their target market and gather some research. Me, I just wanna see goats.
We also got all the deets on our kickin trip to New York from Dec.14-19 which i cannot wait to go on! It looks like it's going to be a blast. No sleep at all. Nice.
So all in all, a good first day despite waking up late. But it's not like that's anything new for me...lol. It's BOUND to happen again...
Tomorrow night Elisha and I and possibly Shelley and Devyn are going to Slaintes to drink, and meet up with Rob later. The purpose of the night is for me to put my matchmaking skills to work and try and hook Rob up. I won't say with who for certain reasons. Nuff said. But it should be cool, i'll get to see my matchmaking skills at work! Or...lack thereof....*shrug*
Anyways, I'm beat...time to go.

2005-09-04T11:13:00.000-05:00

Alright, so i'm still waiting to get rich off of this google ad thing...
In other news, the party on friday night was a bit of a bust. The ONE person I would have liked to have seen didn't show, which didn't help much. Plus there was a creepy guy who must've been like 36 wouldn't stop talking to me, and everyone kept leaving me alone with him. Thanks guys, thanks a lot. That's great. Best part of the night was getting fries supreme from Taco Bell.
Yesterday I didn't do much at all, just kind of took it easy. School starts soon, so i'm savouring my last few, precious days. I'm going to be working 4 days/wk and going to school 5 days/wk so it's going to get pretty hairy i think...
Anyways, today i'm gonna go downtown and get some school supplies. Grand and Toy promises not to be undersold this year, so i'm gonna try there. I don't feel like getting trampled by mobs at Wal-Mart or Business Depot. Some of those chicks have nails!!!

YOUR HORRORSCOPE: Today is a day to be introsepctive. A poisionus fog will seep into your home and turn you inside out.

2005-09-02T08:58:00.000-05:00

Well, as you can see i've added some google ads to my blog. I feel that you all deserve an explanation as to why...BECAUSE IT CAN MAKE ME MONEY! What better reason is there? Here's the deal...everytime someone clicks on one of those little ads on the sidebar, I get a small amount of money...so click away! Also, there is now a google search box at the bottom of my page, so now you can handily search the web right from here. I think i might also get money when you do that, so please, if you need to search for something search from here! But don't worry, I won't be having any god awful pop-ups or anything, that would be FAR too insipid (that's the word of the week) of me.
Anywho, tonight is the party that i've been invited to in Waterdown and i'm kind of looking forward to it. I figure it's one last hurrah before school starts. As for the rest of the weekend, i'm off so i plan on doing a whole lot of relaxing. Especially since it's supposed to be really nice out.
Well, I think thats all I have to say right now...just remember to CLICK AWAY!

"Daddy, These Rubber Pants Are Hot..."

2005-09-01T10:41:00.000-05:00

Here we are with the week almost over. This week has FLOWN by, I can't even believe it! I'm really looking forward to the weekend though, since i've got the weekend off!
So, last night me & Shelley went and saw Red Eye, which was good up until the last quarter of the movie, or after they get off of the plane. It was just too easy for her after that. But it was still enjoyable. The scenes on the plane are great, very exciting.
After the movie we went to Boston Pizza and had a couple of drinks, we also got into a fairly competitive game of trivia (that one you play on the TV screens) with these guys that were one table away from us. Losers had to take shots. We had to take shots. They were cops, but they were trying to convince Shelley that it was okay for her to take a shot before she drove. They were positive that no ride programs were out, lol. Some cops. But we had a good time all in all. We went to the "BK Lounge" (burger king) and quoted Ralph Wiggum, laughter ensued...Oh boy, good times....
So unfortuanatley, I have to make this entry short because i have to go to work. Sandwhiches don't make themselves you know.
Oh yeah, i want to make a horror movie called "Horrorscope" about horrible horoscopes that come true (see last entry.) I can't believe that hasn't been done...

DAMN IT!

"I'm Sorry I Told Them About Your Secret Snatch..."

2005-08-29T09:43:00.000-05:00

Well, hello once again. I'm back from my vacay and now find myself in the last week before school starts again. And I think we all know what that means...time to make the most of it. I plan on doing nothing but indulging myself in my spare time all week. I'm going to a party friday night, so I figure that will be an amazing way to end off summer break.
So...onto my vacation. I was up at the Highland Trail Lodge in Irondale, ON with Adrienne for a week. We had SOOO much fun. So many great memories...like the hammock breaking with us in it. And "Ignore THIS..." Yeah we laughed a lot. The weather could not have been better and I even tried waterskiing. I've only tried it once before and that was like 6 years ago, so I kept falling. I never even got up, but it's hard!! One time i flew forwards through the air, did a faceplant and managed to lose both of my skiis. But it was fun. The lodge was gorgeous, and we had a nice little room. I'll get my pics developed next week.
Yeah, i'm a little depressed about going back to school next week, but i take consolation in the fact that this is my last year. But at the same time, i've been feeling really anxious about that. I have to find my own co-op in January, and i'm kind of worried that i won't be able to find a decent one. I'm also anxious about graduating, since i will probably end up working in Toronto. So that means that I could have to be out of the house in less than a year. Scary, scary thought. Or even scarier, I won't find work at all and will end up living at home forever. Oh man, I have to stop thinking now. I'll just have to take it a day at a time. Fly by the seat of my pants like I always do, because it seems to be working out okay for me right now.
So, on that note. I have to go do a bit of back to school shopping. Not much mind you, since my work "forgot" to put 40 hours onto my paycheck. How do you forget to pay someone for 40 hours? GRRR!
I want to go see "Red Eye" this week at some point. Anyone wanna come????

YOUR HORRORSCOPE: Today, an axe murderer will knock on your door. Don't answer.

These are too much fun...

Net is working again!

2005-08-14T20:07:00.000-05:00

Yes, my internet is back up. For now. So I was jonesing to do another blog entry.
So first off, I'd like to say that I had an awesome weekend. I had a kickass party at my place on friday night and I'd like to thank everyone who came out, it was goooood times. Me and Elisha were running under the sprinkler (it was hot out, ok?) and I totally wiped out. I remember running and then all of a sudden i was on my back on the grass. And somehow i killed my shin. I have a bruise the size of an egg, and a nasty scrape. It was humorus, although i felt like an ass. But all in all it was a ball. I'm DEFINETLEY going to have another blowout before the colder weather hits. I'm seriously considering having a halloween party this year. How awesome would THAT be? Yeah, that's right. You know it.
So yeah. On saturday I went to The Festival of Friends with Elisha and some other friends, and it was fun. We saw David Wilcox, and a whole bunch of Hamilton's finest. Yeah, right. Lotsa drunks.
Today I had to work, which sucked because i'm still recovering from Friday. But I worked with Jennifer so it was cool. Never stopped laughing. Plus, i dropped an entire tray of hot oatmeal cookies on the floor. Smooooth.
So that's my update for today, I have to go and finish watching Family Guy. It's make me pee my pants, it's so funny. "Firetrucks, firetrucks, what colour are those red firetrucks?" HAHA! "Does your face have a pelvis?" HAHHAHAHAH!
Gotta split....

August has hit me in my naugist...

2005-08-09T23:00:00.000-05:00

So are my loyal fans wondering what has happened to me yet? Well, treasure this entry because it might be the last you'll get for a while. ONCE AGAIN my home computer is totally shmucked up, which means no internet. (obviously i'm on a different computer, a laptop actually so if you catch the odd typo it's because i'm not used to the freakin small keyboard.)
So...lots has happened in between my last entry and now. I'll start with my trip to Waterloo that I couldn't stop talking about before, to see Adrienne. I left on friday evening and that night we went out for dinner and then watched this great movie called Kalifornia (apparently EVERYONE had heard of this movie, but me. And neglected to tell me about it.) Brad Pitt, David Duchovney and Juliette Lewis were in it, and i think that they are all ver talented actors. So anyways, then saturday we went shopping and i bought this AWESOME jack the pumpkin king figure that pops out of a coffin, with sound! Yeah, that's right. Sound. And then that night we went to this place called The Starlight Lounge or something, where we drank lots and danced lots. Then we met Jeremy and his friend whose name is now escaping me. Anyways, Jeremy was a character and a half and we were pretty sure that he was on E or something and was also VERY trashed, which made him all that more interesting. Yeah. He needs to stop calling me now though, I mean after you call someone 3 times and they don't call you back, don't you usually take the hint and move on? I mean, don't get me wrong...funny guy and such, but something about being from the "tee dot" and having "connections with the bloods" just doesn't do it for me. Go figure. So after that we went back to Adrie's and ate Jell-o with our HANDS (that's hot eh?) and drew the infamous "extendo duck" on her dry erase board. Sunday morning we had a great hangover breakfast at this diner, and i mean GREAT. Best breakfast i'd ever had. So all in all we had a great weekend together and now i'm SOOOO looking forward to heading up to the lodge with her next saturday for a whole week. It's gonna be goooooood times. Fo' Sho'.
Wow, this is looking like a long entry...Oh well, you were bored anyways.
So other then that, not much else too exciting has happened. I went out with Elisha on Friday and we went to Tailgate's/Liquid Kitty and i'm pretty sure that will be the last time we go there. Some guy in his late thirties actually came up to us and said "were you looking at my pecs?" to which I promptly replied "are you telling me you have man boobs?" hehe. IS THAT WHAT PASSES FOR A PICKUP LINE THESE DAYS?!?! Yeesh. Oh and last night I watched the movie "Closer" with Jude Law and Julia Roberts...yeah don't see it. EVER. It was the suckiest movie that ever sucked. What a bunch of sucks. No storyline = no movie. I thought that was common knowledge....?
Well, on that note I think I will go to bed. After all, I have another 450 sandwhiches that won't make themselves tomorrow. And since my net has a hole in it, if you need to contact me (here's a novel concept) CALL ME. Or text my phone, i really don't care what you do. Sorry, i'm feeling extra cynical tonight. I think I need sleep...
G'night Y'all.

Mr. Stabby doot doo doot doot doot doo

2005-07-25T19:43:00.000-05:00

So anyone who is considering getting a piercing, should probably watch this informative video first: http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/Mr+Stabby+4/

Okay, moving on...So I've had a very life-altering and very stressful (but also productive) week. If you don't know why, ask me. In 4 days i'll be heading up to waterloo to see Adrie, and i'm very excited about that. We're gonna party alllll weekend.

So my weekend was pretty busy, I attended the play Much Ado About Nothing on top of Jackson Square. Elisha was in it, as Beatrice and she was by far the best character and the best actress. I recommend everyone goes and sees it, it's free and it will run this weekend both friday and saturday night at 8pm. So i went to it both friday and saturday night, and friday afterwards we went to the Doors Pub (the whole cast) and had a few. I hadn't eaten much in about 3 days so after 3 drinks i was smashed and all of my pent up anger from the week came spilling out. Apparently I was yelling at people, and wouldn't stop talking. I remember telling a guy in a car that the two girls ahead of us (wearing almost nothing and waving and yelling at the car) were prostitutes, he immediatley stopped yelling back at them and looked really uncomfortable, it was pretty humorus. The girls didn't look too happy. Hehe. Truth hurts. So saturday after the play we went there again, but it was considerably less eventful since i had to work the next morning at 8:00.

So i think that's all I have to say right now. So i'll leave you with one more link, so turn up your speakerboxx and watch:

2005-07-19T19:25:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. Here I am sober and making another entry in my blog. So today I want to talk about how wierd it is that everything seems to come in threes. Know what i mean? No. Ok. I'll elaborate...say something at least somewhat big or interesting or thought provoking happens in your life, two more similar things will always follow. If at this point your thinking i'm insane as all get out, just think about it. I'm sure you can think of a few instances, and plus it probably happens lots of times when you don't even notice. Something kinda strange happened to me, and now i've got two more similar instances on my hands. Not bad things necessarily, but just things that make me think. Okay. So if your not too confused by my rambling theories, I'll move on.
Another wonderfully hot day today, I enjoyed going downtown to do a little shopping and tonite I think I will go and find a patio to sit on.
In other news, I will be away the weekend of July 29, 30, 31 as I will be going down to Kitchener to visit dree...yeeeeah! We're going to have crazy fun!! Woot!
Oh and i saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on the weekend, and I have to say that it was FLIPPIN amazing! Everyone should go see it, I can't even begin to explain why. I don't think a second went by where i didn't have a smile plastered on my face. It's hilarious! Seriously, go see it. And don't listen to The Spec's critic, he's a knob.
So yeah, I think that's about all I have to say right now. Keep cool.

Spooky...

2005-07-15T06:41:00.000-05:00

Ok, so here's the deal. In the link below is a german car commercial, where you can supposedly see what is believed by many people to be a ghost. You have to watch closley for it though, it's kind of near the end. Myself, i'm skeptical...it looks like mist or something to me. But you be the judge....

http://www.princeton.edu/%7Eccaro/mist_or_ghost.html

No relief...

2005-07-14T18:59:00.000-05:00

So yeah. It's still really hot out, and yes it's supposed to stay that way for a while. Now that we have that out of the way, let's not talk about it again. I sick and tired of hearing people talk about the weather and complain about how hot it is. It's summer, it's supposed to be hot. Get over it. If we don't like it then why do we run to florida in the winter? C'mon Canada...don't be a bunch of wimps...Nuff said.
I hope everyone had a good laugh at my drunken ramblings last night, hehe. I certainly had fun. Elisha stuffed some random plants into someone's mailbox on Locke Street, and we put an "apartment for rent" sign on someone's car's windshield. Yeah, we're that crazy.
Anyway, today was my day off and i enjoyed it muchly, now i'm going to go and enjoy what is left of it.

YOUR HOROSCOPE: Today your home will be infested by fire ants.

MAKE IT BACON!

2005-07-14T02:40:00.000-05:00

Yeah so i'm pretty trashed right now...i'm pretty amazed that I can type halfd decent. So I thought "well, f**k, what better time to make a blog entrty?" Me and Elisha went to West town for a few....or more...beers. Goof tome, wre4aking havoc on the locke st neighbourh0oods. Yeah, if you wake up with a flower on yout winchiled tomorrow, you can thank moi.
$5 for a beer....what?!? ZThat;s outrageouys!

Hot, Hot, Hot...

2005-06-10T07:14:00.000-05:00

Alright, first off I apologise for my week long hiatus. Unfortunatley, a close friend passed away in an accident last Thursday, so the computer has been the least of my worries...
So i'm actually on my way to bed...yes at 8:17 in the morning...I was on nights last night so i'm ready to snooze for a while. But i'm happy because now I have tonight, tomorrow, sunday and monday off...long weekend! I worked sat, sun, mon, wed, thurs all 10pm - 8am so i'm more than ready for a break.
The weather has kicked so much ass this week, I can't even believe it! For all those out there complaining about the heat...well...get out of the kitchen! lol. We had a summer last year that was comprable to a decroted piece of crap, so this should be a welcome change. You can't complain that it's too cold and then complain as well when it finally gets hot. Heat advisory, smog advisory, humidex advisory....I say BRING IT ON! The hotter the better.
So anyways, I'm going to bed now and then tanning at 3pm (don't laugh...i KNOW i could just tan outside in the 33 degree heat, but i booked the appt ahead of time)
Oh, if anyone knows of a decent place to go party on a Sunday, please let me know! You can leave a comment for me or e-mail me (holly.prine@mohawkcollege.ca)
And just a note about the comments, if you aren't a blogger member you can STILL post me a comment just by entering in any old screen name. Please leave me comments, they're fun to read.
Yup, so that's it.

Remember to wear a hat in the sun...

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Holly. She died the rather unfortunate death of suffocation in her sleep, at the hands of a dead girl on her ceiling. She will (sort of) be missed by family and friends alike. She will be remembered for her "quirkiness" and saying things backwards by mistake (I've overdrosed on dugs!!!) A visitation will be held in hell for those wishing to pay their respects.

The weekend has ended...

2005-05-30T23:10:00.000-05:00

Yes my friends, the weekend is over. Although for many of you it was over Sunday night, not me. This was my long weekend off (I get one every other week.) Which is sad, because that means i don't get this weekend off. I haven't posted in a while because of working nights. It feels like all I do is sleep all day and work all night (wait a tick, that IS what i do!) It's been a difficult week, but hopefully my body is beginning to adapt. The nightshifts go by surprisingly fast though, and of course, it kicks ass working with Shells! Getting stock is really hard though, since we have to make like 6-8 trips up and downstairs. We'll be buff by the end of the summer though!!!
Hmm, so what else....OH! I want to make something clear. I am NOT ignoring anyone on MSN, my computer is very messed up and for some reason, it looks like my messages are getting to people when in reality they are not. I didn't even realize this for like 3 weeks. Some of my messages will get through, but the majority do not. So Dree especially, don't think i'm ignoring you. Oh, and sorry I didn't call you when you were home last weekend. I had to work nights all weekend and slept all day, which didn't leave me much time. But i'd really like to get up to Waterloo one weekend soon and see you. Let me know when is good for you, and please give me your home number in the Loo...all i have is your cell and it's never on! :o)
Okay, now that I've cleared that up...I'm disappointed to say that I missed the Season Finale of House last Tuesday due to work so if anyone could fill me in i'd be forever in your debt !!!!! I NEED TO KNOW!!!

Okay, today i'm going to do a review of all the movies I've seen recently....

1) House of Wax - Much better than I ever expected. Decent acting, good plot, great special effects. I give it 8 stars...

2) Darkness - Mediocre. Glad I waited for the DVD of this one. It's almost identical to The Amityville Horror. Scary house, father goes insane...yadda yadda. TERRIBLE ending...I give it one star.

3) The Phantom Of the Opera - Excellent. Wonderful casting with the exception of the Phantom. He was a typical "hollywood" phantom. Those who are fans of the play will understand what I mean. Exceptional costumes and sets. Score was perfect! I give it 86 stars...

4) The Woodsmen - I hadn't even heard of this movie but it claimed to be one of "the top ten films of the year" (must have been a bad year for movies.) Starring Kevin Bacon, who plays his role excellently, this movie is lacking one key element...a PLOT!!! And yet another terrible ending. I give it negative 2 stars...

5) Kung Fu Hustle - This is one to see in the theatre. It's a comedy/kung fu movie from Japan (with english subtitles) The plot is GREAT, characters are very memorable and the special effects and kung fu moves are KICK ASS! (literally.) This is a movie even for those who think that they don't like kung fu movies. It's like a bugs bunny cartoon almost. Hilarious!!!! I give it 92.5 stars...

And that's all for today...if your bored, use my movie guide. Or don't.
I need a beer...

OoOoOoOoooo.....

A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.

*Phew* At least I know i'm safe ;)

So Blog, We Meet Again...

2005-05-06T10:20:00.000-05:00

I know, it's been a very long time since my last post. I apologize to my avid readers, but since school ended I've been on a bit of a computer hiadus. I felt as though I did nothing but stare at computer screens all day long, and needed a break. But i'm back! It's thrilling.....

Yeah...so, I'm working at the Cafe and will soon be switching to night shifts because the hours are much better, AND every other week I get Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays AND Mondays off! And I think we all know what that means....I'm looking at you Dree....Camping! And visiting Waterloo! Plus i'll be working with Shelley all the time which KICKS!

I apologize for the slowness of the commercial being posted, I assure you that i'm trying but it's not going too well. If anyone knows how to get something from a DVD onto a computer that doesn't read DVDs then let me know...otherwise, keep holding your breath.

I hope everyone will remember to give their moms a hug on Sunday as it is Mother's Day. I'm off to go find a gift today, so wish me luck. I went to Winners on Monday with the intention of buying a gift for mom and a b-day gift for my dad (his b-day is tues. 10th) and ended up walking out with a bra...for me.

I'm just reading a news article about an old man who thought that when firefighters came into his apartment to extinguish a small fire, they were burglars. He then threatened to shoot them with a gas powered pistol...a gas powered pistol?

So I think that's about it. I hope everyone remembered to watch House this past week, as it was INCREDIBLE as always. Plus, very soon the Movie Network will be getting Deadwood, and i'm very excited about seeing it. Cowboys....*sigh*

I'm A Superstar!

2005-04-12T19:04:00.000-05:00

Yes I starred in the awesome commercial that me & Shelley shot for our TV creative class. I'm not going to say much about it, because i'm trying to post it on here so that you can all see it. We kicked ass on it, and Shelley did a flippin' sweet job on the editing! When I get the video posted i'll let you all know.
So, another day done and another day closer to Friday and summer break. And when my parents leave. I've managed to weasel out of my breakfast & maybe even lunch shift on Sunday so i won't have to get up early. Yay!
Unfortunatley I have to write Judy's attendance test tomorrow and then make an ad for her, just because i missed 5 classes. Baloney. Balogna....whatever.
Also unfortunatley, I think i may have food poisoning (for like the thousandth time) and my stomach hurts like a bitch. But i have to go write an essay on Culture Jamming, then watch House @ 9pm. EVERYONE WATCH IT! (i know i say that every week, but you really should watch it)
I'll keep y'all posted on the commercial. I'm very proud of it and I want everyone to see it!

Things Are Looking Up...

2005-04-05T19:14:00.000-05:00

looking up...

So, I have some big and exciting news today! I resigned at Aberdeen Gardens! My boss was in denial, but I figure he'll come to accept it. He has to. So my last day there will be the 22nd, and I will start at the Cafe on the 25th. I talked to my boss from the Cafe yesterday and she was soooo happy that I was coming back, she wanted me to start right away, lol. Special thanks to my china doll, "Ruby" for helping me get the job. Teehee. She's the best...
Also, I stayed late at school last night to try and get a whole ton of work done for a presentation that I have on Friday and I got pretty much everything done! Yay! Now it's just a matter of mounting all the ads and stuff. Also, I got my Media Law essay done this afternoon when I got home from school, which is something because I got it done a WHOLE DAY EARLY! Woooo! Yay ME! I never do anything early, so i'm really on the ball! I'm just trying to get things off my plate since I have so much on it already.
I just realized that I haven't done a quote of the day for a bit, so I promise to post one tomorrow. And maybe another funny news story. I'm too beat right now. I just want to go chill and get ready to watch "House" on Global at 9:00. EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT! It's amazing!!!! (Dr.House is a fox!) hehehe...So I think that's what I will do....

Weekend Comes to an End

2005-04-03T19:22:00.000-05:00

And my what a weekend it was. Friday was probably one of the worst days of my life. School stuff ticked me off (as usual) among other things in my life...plus i found out that my boss has been lying to me for 3 weeks about giving me full-time work for the summer. Blatently lying to my face because he wants to keep me there. I could have worked at Ryerson, but nooooo he promised me all the full-time I wanted so that I wouldn't leave and then screwed me right over. It doesn't matter anyways, i'm going to go back to the old Cafe at Mac for the summer, and I can't wait to see the look on his face when I tell him i'm leaving. It'll be truly priceless.
So i figure, hey it's Friday and i'm going out to Copper Lounge so I can just drink all of these problems right away. Wrong. I spent the entire night at Copper in the bathroom throwing up. Yeah, great fun. Proceeded to pass right out at Elisha's house (i didn't even wake up to French Fries or The Shining, lol) and then throw up again the next morning. I don't think i'll be drinking Malibu Rum for a very, very long time. So all in all, it was a great day for me on Friday.

Saturday was fairly uneventful. Needless to say, I had to take the day to recover. I went to the Market, which is my usual Saturday-hangover activity (i like because i can just wander around at a very slow pace) and bought some delicious stuff. Then i watched Road trip that night because it was on TV.
Today I worked my usual 12.5hr shift, but we were short-handed for most of the day so i was going like crazy. The best part of the day was on break when me and Shelley watched "Footloose"!!!!

So theres my weekend. I really didn't have a chance to update all weekend, or at least didn't feel like it. But it's another week and i'm beginning the "end of school and parents go away countdown" and we're at.....
days!
yay!!!

Change in Plans...

2005-04-01T09:08:00.000-05:00

Okay, I can't sign into MSN messenger for some reason and there are people that need to know that I am no longer heading to Slainte tonight, I'm going to the grand opening of Copper Lounge. So hopefully those people will see this. If your coming out, let me know so that I can maybe get you on the guest list (i'm already on it, so it shouldn't be a problem)

hehehe....

That Really is a Banana in Your Pants...

2005-03-31T14:24:00.000-05:00

A man in Greenwhich, Conn. was charged by police with lewd conduct involving a toy banana. Arthur Bertana, 62, who had been on probation for lewd conduct more than four years ago, was arrested Saturday after police said he placed a toy banana in his pants and flashed people. "Over a span of time, there were several reports of a subject wearing extremely tight pants with an obvious bulge stuffed down his pants," Sgt. Roger Petrone Jr. said Wednesday. "It was a yellow, plush, child's toy banana," Petrone said. "It had a smiley face on it."

------------------------------------------------------------
Ha ha ha....
I can't write much. I'm meeting Elisha so we can walk tonight. Yay walking! However, it was just hailing outside the size of golf balls. So weather permitting I suppose.

SCHOOL IS MAKING ME GO F***ING INSANE!!!
sorry...i needed to get that out. I am getting so sick of people's attitudes and all their friggin drama. It's so unecessary!!!!!!!!!!! I just want this year to end. And if I never do a group project again, i'll be happy. Way too much drama involved. Everyone needs to take a breath and relax. And that's the last i'm going to say about that.

So here is some interesting news...i'm meeting tomorrow with a Union Rep who wants to get into Aberdeen Gardens. But i have to meet him at the Tim Horton's on Aberdeen. He's like "i'll be in a red minivan, license plate number blah blah blah" It all sounds so shady...i must admit that i'm slightly concerned.

Tomorrow night i'm going to Slainte! Yay! Girl's night out with Shells and Elisha!! Thank God that Friday is almost here. That means i'm a week closer to the end of school, and when my parents go away!

Oh, and uh...before you eat that banana, think for a sec about where it might have been....

I'm moving to Australia...

2005-03-30T17:17:00.000-05:00

no, not really. But i'm tempted to...apparently the Australian government believes that having babies is a "patriotic duty" and has promised to pay mothers $2,319 for every baby born after July 1st of last year. Australia just keeps finding ways to get the title of "best quality of living" in the world, leaving Canada in a close second. But if we paid mothers to have babies here, imagine just how many more teenagers with strollers we'd see hanging out in downtown Hamilton, smoking? Anyways, if anyone is really all that interested, you can read more about this at:
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/WeirdNews/2005/03/30/976912.html

Thanks to Shelley and her camera, I now have lots of pictures to post on this here blog. I'll post more in the very near future.
I want to share another quote with all of you, so think of this as the second quote of the day (that's right, i said SECOND!)
"Stay cool, stay in school" -Ryan K
Good advice for all of you, I should think ;) lol

So what can I rant about today? Maybe the fact that school is a complete waste of my time? I went to school this morning to do absolutley nothing in two classes, and pay for them. Anyone thinking of attending SHMOHAWK college, think twice. Especially if your applying for Advertising.

So i'm booking a site at Rock Point for the May long weekend. So far just Shelley and Devyn are on board, so if anyone else is wanting to come, you need to let me know like NOW.
And, my parents are still going to Vegas the week of April 17, and talk of a party is still happening, nothing is final though, so stay tuned on that one. I'm airing on the side of no party because i really don't want my house trashed. (yeah, i'm square...i know)
Adrienne comes home from Guyana in 3.5 weeks! YAY!! I miss you Dree!!!!

Anyways, I don't have a whole lot more to say right now. So who else is coming to Australia?

Welcome to the BLOG...

2005-03-29T15:31:00.001-05:00

Sooo...this is my brand spankin' new Blog...how exciting! I hear these are trendy right now. Well, we'll see how long it takes me to get lazy and stop updating it...
So today was the nicest day we've had this year so far. 15 degrees and sunny! Perfect. It's funny how the nice weather seems to make everyone so happy. I enjoy it. It's like people come out from hibernating beneath their coats and scarves, mittens and hats. I mean, who knows? Maybe they were smiling all along, but i just couldn't see it beneath all the layers...? Probably not. Winter has a grump-inducing effect on me too. But i do enjoy the happy faces, and hearing the kids playing road hockey on my street again. Enough weather talk...
School will be finished completley on April 15, and I have so much to do before then i'm ready to rip out my hair. Everyone is making me quite frustrated...friends who said they were friends, well...weren't. But it's not like i'm not used to that. For lent, i think i'll give up my sense of trust. Yes, i think Jesus would be proud of that one. But at least it's no more than like 3 weeks before i'll be done and away from those people! And working full-time, which means money...which means partying!
I'm trying to organize a camping trip for the may two four weekend, so if anyone is interested let me know. I'm trying to get enough people together to get a group site, cuz it would be a lot cheaper.
So i think this is done for the time being. I have to go to work, so maybe if I have something interesting to say, i'll write more later. Everyone remember to watch "House" tonight at 9 on Global!
