"...This might sound strange to you... I'm in love with the DJ."

Catching up on M's blog made me want to write a short one. I should be going to sleep since I have a very long day ahead of me and I have to get up earlier than usual. I'm headed to Winnipeg for Easter and I'm thinking it's going to be a great and exhausting time, but I think it might be just a little to Greek for me. I've managed to finally have a place to myself for the month and now it will be me and 5 other adults, a baby and two dogs. Yikes.

I was sure I was going to be a snap show by the end of my working day. Surprisingly enough, everyone seemed to get nicer after 2:30 p.m. I guess my fantasizing about pushing carafes of hot coffee off the counter onto the customer who set me over the edge isn't going to happen. I also fantasized about how I'd like to throw cannelloni's off of the balcony and watch someone else clean up the mess. Sadly, that also never happened. A girl can only dream of doing watch she actually feels like doing.

The week started off kind of lousy since my self respect dropped dangerously low as I moped about some stupid choices. I'm no longer feeling as awful about it, but I wish I could erase the memory. It's the honest truth. What's up with all the jerk-off customers? Especially male customers? Are they all temporarily experiencing estrogen and the full moon so that they have whinier vaginas than us women? I'm going to have to say that I think this is a true phenomena. I just want to tell these wealthy men that if you hate your job, just quit already. You're making me miserable. I don't get paid for you to make me angry and miserable. I get paid to serve you. Service does not equal your personal therapy of insulting and complaining like a donkey being beaten with a stick. You're all grown up. Act like one already. I think children behave better than this. At least they're honest and do what they feel. Just slap that guy who's pissing you off at work. I would love to see you get fired and get dragged out by security only to tweet and gossip about it later for my own personal enjoyment.

You know what movie I watched tonight which was a total disappointment? Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Even the 3D couldn't save the story. I realize it's Burton and who's going to refuse him money, but someone ought to on this one. It was lacking in so many places. I did probably sleep through at least 20 minutes of it, so, it's possible that I would have liked it 20% more, but I highly doubt it.

Did I mention my 4 day weekend? I just got a basket full of chocolate which I'm leaving here so as I do not eat it. I'm going to do Paleo until I look like what I want and dress up in micro-minis because this year will be the year that I will make it happen. M reminded me tonight that I'll be meeting RP and I want to be wearing that floral H&M dress when I meet him being all tall and waif-like as I flirt up a storm and sweep him off his feet. Not really. How I'm going to do Paleo when I have a sister who doesn't eat vegetables and fruit, is going to be challenging. I guess I'm going to spend the weekend consuming alcohol and not much else. Expect me to be sicker than sick when you see me next week.

Lastly, I'm not sure why I quoted an R. Kelly song, but I did because it's playing in my head. I also look forward to my Easter egg/candy hunt with the girls tomorrow and randomly placing cadbury creme eggs for customers to find and take. Tee hee. The thought makes me smile. Time to fall asleep and let the gong show begin.

P.s. YP would you please be at work tomorrow. It's all I ask of you. It's a long weekend. It's the least you could do. Honestly, you're just soooo selfish. I'm sure you have something more important going on in your life. Don't show up on my account. That would be rediculous...

Thursday, eat your heart out.

Adult Students

I don't have much time for a post between jobs, but it was better to do it now than at 11:00 when the whole thing has settled. Apparently its better to go to school -university- as an adult. According to this person, you have life knowledge blah blah blah. Well in my opinion that's wrong. That is unbelievably wrong. For one adult students hold their opinions strongly and will fight to the death with a professor about this. Not to mention the amount of class time they waste arguing about something irrelevant to course material. Young students are young and impressionable. They haven't formed all their opinions yet. It's a good time to teach them to be open and to be critical thinker. Adult students without prior university classroom experience and education aren't open. Here's what I heard today "I agree to disagree." You know what? That's what you say to some ignorant or irrational schmuck because they have no ability to listen to other people's arguments. I on the other hand am willing to be open to other people's opinions. Not necessarily is what I believe purely correct. And if you have substantial evidence or an argument that can't be broken down semantically or logically, then I'm open to changing my mind. There is nothing more closed minded than saying "I agree to disagree" when someone is actually engaging in something intellectual. Don't start a discussion with me if you go in thinking you're right and leave midway so that you aren't proved wrong. That is ignorant in itself.

Second thing pissing me off is don't tell me formal and life experience philosophy are the same thing. You're kidding right? Don't even go there with me. I'm not going to even start. And you know what? Being 4 years older than me doesn't make you smarter than me. It definitely doesn't mean that if we have similar knowledge in something, that you know more about it than I do. Life experience and age doesn't equal intelligence. I can respect other's opinions and accept them, but if you read it in an article and I took 3 university classes on it, I win hands down because my foundation of knowledge on the subject supersedes yours.

Adult students: get off your high horse. Adult students are more annoying than people who think they know everything. If you already know everything, why are you in university? Stop wasting everyone else's time and money. Age doesn't mean you can undermine other people's intelligence.

"Ecripse! Ecripse!"

I haven't written in just about three weeks and this is my first post for the month. I've gotten into my new routine and have fallen out of old habits and have neglected the internet. The new things I love: PVR, not having to work around other people when getting ready in the morning and the ability to lounge on the couch whenever I feel like it and take a nap. Things I'm so not loving: ants, Lucy wanting to leave the apartment, the noisy tenant above me and the fact that I no longer have a dishwasher.

So much has happened I don't know where to begin. I'll start with today and work backwards. Just got home from watching Repo Men. It's better than I had expected, less gorey than I imagined and a better story line than I thought it would be. Down fall, the supporting actress is so not hot and she was also the love interest and supporting actress in Daybreakers. Who is she and where did she come from and why is she in everything all of a sudden? The most important thing I want to mention about the movie is that Jude Law is a sexy sexy super sexy beast. I think he should do more action movies because they make him so manly and not the flakey guy that he probably is like in Alfie or Closer. A man as good looking as him, how could he stay monogamous? He should spread his hot genetics so there are more men who look just like him. He should share the love. Downfall of his looks in the movie was the Brooklyn track pants and jacket they put him in. He looked greas-ie dressed like a home slice with stripes on his pants.

Blockbuster in Boychuk is lame. There I said it. In fact. This is most likely the last time I go there for myself. They can suck it. Tomorrow, I'm going to say they can suck it a whole lot more eloquently, but I'm sure going to give them a hard time.

Since I'm not going to recap three weeks worth of my life, I'm going to note something I heard on CBC this evening on the news. As I'm sure you'll all aware of this, but most Canadians will not have saved enough money to live comfortably when they hit the age of 65. The part that killed me was what they considered a "standard" of living. Wait for it... wait... I'm living comfortably by Canadian standards when I can go to Cancun yearly. Really? We're all striving to save enough money so that we can go to Cancun every year for twenty years when we hit 65? F*** you. Just stop talking. Stop thinking. If that's our goal I might as well stop trying to achieve the standard of living because the last place I want to go to for two decades yearly is Mexico. That's some standard. Some s*** a** comment and standard. This is what we have come to. You have to have two cars, two car garage, two children, make 100,000 a year and travel to Mexico every year. How generic. I think I have lost faith. That's a lie, but I'm sure getting there.

One last note, I didn't get a chance to pick up my NM copy, but I will tomorrow or Sunday and while I'm whining to the even bigger whiners down in the boonies, I'm going to think of Peter Chao. Forget you A. He's funny and you not all that sophisticated and classy, so get off your high horse. "To each his own" bullshit, but then you dog on people who use stereotypes and act derogatory. Right there you're breaking the first rule of relativism "to each his own". Suck it. Suck your contradicting philosophy and the shit you spew out, because it is bullshit. I don't have time to argue with people who say "to each his own". I'm going to lump you up with everyone else now. It's a big lump and you just made it bigger.

CP outside mother-trucker.
