Firstly, any TO (or near to TO) Firefly fans, do you want to go to the charity Firefly screening on June 24th with me? Everyone I know thus far is going to be out of town, darn summer vacations that I don't get to take lol. So if anyone thinks they may be interested leave me a comment :)

I got out of work super early today :) Well I put in a full day but I didn't stay my extra hour and I had gone in early, so I was out by 5 and treated myself with DVD buying :) I finally decided to pick up the Without a Trace DVDs that I always see in the Blockbuster by the Mod Club. They were still there (yay) and were marked at $39.99, oh and I also saw Dirty Dancing so I grabbed that one too lol and then when the total came up it was just over $34, my WaT DVDs were way marked down, $22.98 very sweet. I was reading through the booklet on my way home, oh the good old days of season 1 when the show rocked hardcore. I do wish they'd put out season 2 on DVD as well. Grrr.

Ugh I do not like early morning Subway travellers. There was a guy on the subway today who smelled so terrible, as in half way down the car it still reeked. And he wasn't homeless or crazy looking, he looked pretty average, but he stunk. I'd hate to be stuck working with him.

Oh and I found my dream neighbourhood. I walked down to College from Christie station and the houses are just amazing! I want to live there very much. It does look expensive of course. I remind myself of the Cordelia quote, wanting things "not because they're more expensive, but because they cost more" hee.

Smelly dudes on the subway are the WORST. *shudder* And then...when they...*shudders violently* grab the upper bar and you're standing RIGHT beside them. *gags* For serious. Too nasty.

Way to go on the WaT snaggage! :D

But ewwwwwwwww........Subway......

It's getting into summer, which means smelly smelly people who don't get the concept of deoderant. And I really try to get that for some people it's a religious/personal/culteral thing BUT when you're going places where your extreme smell (because it's never small) is going to really bother people you have to be considerate. Maybe at least wash right before leaving your house.. I dunno. Also I mean some offices go "fragrance free" because people have a problem with smelling perfumes, so what would you do with someone like that I wonder?

I just think that if you're affecting other people with your actions you have to think about it a little more. I don't want to be rude and move away obviously but sometimes.... ugh.

I get smelly customers at work all the time...and summer is coming *shudders*. Its horrible. I wonder sometimes, do these people know they're that smelly?

TTC stories.. I was on a streetcar last Friday, on my way to the Drake Hotel and there was this guy who was listening to a little radio with headphones. Seems kinda normal, right? but this radio was a wind-up radio... every minute or two he had to wind it up to keep it playing! At first I thought he was playing a handheld fishing game and and was casting the line out and reeling in fish(I thought the antenae was maybe the rod), but no, it was a radio! It was the weirdest thing... I thought people only used wind-up radios while camping.

hmmm wind up radio... perhaps he was very environmentally concious so he didn't want to use batteries. Other than that I have no idea why he'd be doing that lol.

And perhaps really smelly people just get used to their smell and don't notice it anymore.... ugh.

Dream neighborhood

yes, indeed, because they cost more. *sigh* I recently figured up the approximate cost of the dream house I designed for myself. The *Pope* couldn't afford it.

Oh gosh if I got into building my dream home that would be WAY too expensive. Fun, but pricy.

too much

It was that indoor/outdoor swimming pool with the retractable roof, the study/library with the huge skylights, and the attached greenhouse that did it, mostly.
