it's funny, the more i want to type lately, the less i actually get around to doing it. you can usually tell that i'm either depressed or really busy when all i do for several days is post photos or stupid quiz results. well, this weekend was a combination of both, i guess. although, depressed isn't the right adjective. bored. worn out. hermitlike. unmotivated. they all work better.
the big news is that after a day off work and an almost-all-nighter, i managed to finish all my assignments (including the bonus) and ace my final. yay! no more school! well, for three weeks, anyway. i'm excited because both pat the t.a. and shane are going to be in my class next term. cool people i already know! woot!
one more thing about school. i've been going there saturday mornings since the middle of september, right? saturday mornings. the one day of the week i either need lots of sleep or lots of high-quality caffeine. guess what's in the building next door? take a guess! yes. a fucking starbucks. i'm so bloody annoyed... i could have had three month's worth of saturday-morning starbucks! oh god, how my days could have been improved.
i think i'm holiday baked out. i finally got around to making the chocolate coconut things and let me say two things: condensed milk is scary and i hope i never see chocolate again. i have to muster some sort of enthusiasm for baking just one more batch, because i promised to bring something dessert-like for our department lunch on friday.
speaking of the department lunch, somehow i got elected to organize it. me! what the fuck? i hate organizing things like this. it's like wrangling bloody cats. anyway, after a truly apathetic vote between pizza and chinese, i had to make the executive decision to order pizza. i also have to collect the money, buy the plates and napkins, buy the pop, make dessert and order & pickup the pizza! *pant* it'll be all good. i mean, a friday afternoon with pizza and goodies? yeah, that can't go wrong at all...
i hate my lunch today. not a big deal, i won't eat it, but because i thought i was being smart, i made the same thing for lunch tomorrow and i have a fair certainty that i won't like it then, either. i need a hotplate so i can make ramen at work. mmm, ramen.
useless post. see? this is why i've only subjected you to useless photos. speaking of, if i remember, i'll have a little treat for all you rabid fans tomorrow. oh yeah, if you requested a card, it'll go out either tomorrow or the next day. that's if i have your address. if you didn't give me that, then you're pretty much screwed.
mmm chocolate
mmm pizza
mmm ramen
mmm heather
you've got my address from last valentines, so i didn't submit it, but that may have been a mistake.
i watched them take the autelca out of the way at granville today. it's so weird to see the station torn apart like that. i hope the new machines are in business soon. oh, is there any chance i could get a zone-map from one of the de-comissioned autelca machines? that'd make my life. there'd be free chocolate in it for you.
rich and i also asked an sta about the bird sounds at stadium station. that's so crazy!
you're still in time, derrick. i'll add you to the list.
autelca? oh, the tvms? i'll see what i can do about the zone map. i know a guy who works for that company.
i'll trade you chocolate for train swag! i have stuff waiting for you. oh, and there's still time to go see tom thompson if you're interested! someone needs to use my last guest pass before it expires in february.
*licks col*
i've seen the current gallery twice now, but i'll never turn down an offer. thomson is there until jan 5, let's hope they hold it over. the liz magor exhibit is cool, too.
ooh, train swag... what's your fave chocolate?
