I love these first rainy grey days of spring in Toronto! It means things aren't frozen! it gives me such hope. The gulls are out too. These days give me a nice touch of the coast, without having to deal with 4 months of it. good job Toronto!
Oh since we're on the subject, Winter, I hate you.
Maybe this is another one of those things that people with a tv already know all about. I find it odd, in a good way. Reminds me of this. And of this little singing game using your fingers as pretend people I used to force erica and j to play back in HS social studies class. They found it odd, in a bad way I think.
So- the inclusion of 'plus-sized' women in beauty pageants. Good for you I guess, but I can't really get behind that. I mean whats the message- now women of all sizes are worthy of being evaluated, scored and compared like fucking dogs in a best of breed competition?
Don't judge my pant size. judge my poise in an evening gown.
I'm replying to erica's comment in the form of a post-
Of course I'm always game for making mixtapes. the only problem is that my tape player is on the fritz! everytime I turn on my stereo (several times a day), it makes the whirring and click sound of a tape switching sides- 8 times in succession. The walls are paper thin as I mentioned, so I started getting paranoid that my roommate would think I am being OCD and going through some ritual with turning the stereo on. So now when I turn the goddamned thing on, I make sure to make alot of shuffling noises, proving that it is happening independent of me. If I heard that coming from the other room every day, I'd assume it was OCD in action.
If I can get t to work, I am most definitely in for a mix tape exchange. I even have half a dozen songs on my 'erica' itunes playlist, ready for a moment like this! Dan Deacon not included this time around.
Anyone else interested?
E just posted about this guy. I feel the need to post it as well. I am so pleased E found him again. This site, this guy, he will suck you in. It's all gold.
note to self- Asahi isn't the greatest 2am studying beer.
Maybe I should start a tallboy journal. Like a white trash version of those wine diaries people have. Probably mostly just white people. The next entry for 'Stuff White People Like' maybe?
back to the tallboy journal. There will be little notes to fill in.
Brand: Asahi Super Dry
Type: Super Dry (it says so in the name) Draft Beer. Light and crisp. just how a Japanese beer should taste.
Occasions: Vigorous video gaming. Nights when the heat is turned up too high but you can't say anything because your roommates rooms are all at least 5degrees colder. summer evenings spent brown bagging it at the nearest park.
Best Paired with: A salad using the rest of the lettuce before it goes bad. Shiitake Vinegrette dressing {aside: I spelled it 'shittake' at first and blogger suggests 'shit take'. poo joke. funny.}. pizza- thats a point for Asahi; succesfully pairing bread and liquid bread can be difficult.
Notes: The can says 'A Beer for All Seasons'. thats a strike against it- first because it is obviously not a winter beer. how convenient that your beer is perfect ALL THE TIME!! secondly, its strike because I was long ago given the title of 'A Woman for Two Seasons'. I don't like things that are different from me.
