An Idea Is Bulletproof

a little self promotion, for those who don't usually check out my icon journal, I made icons of the Natalie Portman rap from SNL last week. They are here.

Tomorrow, well later today, Neal and I are heading out for coffee... but I just saw Cam's littleslean post about Sarah having a photograph on display at the Spin Gallery just for yesterday and today... I'm thinking perhaps I'll see if Neal wants to go to that as well as for coffee... I have to ask about the Slean painting anyways :)

My alarm didn't go off this morning and as I was up late last night talking to Viv I was very close to being late for work. Thankfully I can get ready super quickly. However as it's late again and for sure It'll be after 3 when I get to bed I'll have to double check on what's wrong with my alarm (my guess is that I just set it totally wrong because I'm just that special) or else I'll be late meeting Neal and all he has to go on is my shabby directions and I think I was confusing lol.

Note to self... when trying to cook 2 things at once for food for work... try not to severly burn hand. That would be good when said hand is needed to hand out cards the next day and really shouldn't look gross and blistered.

I've managed to burn my thumb and three fingers on the handle of a pot that ended up slightly over the burner where I was making perogies... grrr also, ouch.

Thanks Viv for reminding me that polysporin is also for burns! I totally forgot that.

and I think I'm exaturating... the burn isn't that bad... more of an annoyance for work tomorrow instead of a huge problem. It was mild enough that me (being me) instead of dropping the pot stopped and looked for a good place to put it down.... so my hand will be fine.

Anyways I'm off to bed... just had to post about my pain lol

oh also, some really high guy put his finger into my water bottle at work. That's not a euphenism for anything.... it was just gross, and then I had no water for the last part of my shift. He sucks. But apparently it took 4 security guards to wrestle him out of the building by the time he'd made his way upstairs. He was right crazy. Who gets high for an autoshow people?!

Oh the holidays.

A big LJ shout out to the lady who stabbed me with a plastic fork and knife today on her way through the store. That was a great experience. Especially the part where you rolled your eyes at me because clearly it was my fault you walked your utensils into my arm.


Oh and a second shout out to my coworker who told me that it was good for me to turn down chocolate because I am overweight. Charming. That's just what I needed to hear for the holidays.

Good news I picked up tickets to the Danny Michel show next month :) I wish Rotate This took debit for tickets, but they didn't so I had to walk to a sketchy bank machine at night....however that worked out okay and I have tickets and wasn't mugged ;) I am of course going to be broke again soon because after buying a bus pass for January and paying my OSAP for the month it wont be fun. Oh new job where are you? Actually I can't complain, Santa gave me two connections for new job stuff today.

AND I ran into Kerry who is a friend from years ago who I went to NYC with when I was 18. So random to see her again but so nice. And I love musical people. As soon as I mention my useless English degree I get "what do you do with a B.A. in English" quoted at me and I love it! I hope she emails me :)

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

First of all, to anyone who is in London or knows anyone there, my prayers are with you. What sadness in this world. I mean it was almost like waiting for the other shoe to drop... and I guess it always will be, because this is the world that exists now and it's damn scary when we open our eyes.

The other thing that is closer to home that is freaking me out is of course Karla Homolka being out of jail. I saw her interview on CBC earlier this week and she is the scariest person I've ever seen. She says all of the right words but if you watch her she doesn't care about what she did, she doesn't see the horror there and now she's free. They interviewed families in Montreal the other night on the news to see how they felt about her living there and this one mother who had a daughter who must have been around 10 years old said she thinks it's fine and she thinks that now that she's served her time in jail that she isn't a threat. THE FUCK? Does no one remember that she LIED to get her plea bargin and that she actually should be serving consecutive life sentences with her husband. Let's also note that this movie Deadly should never be seen EVER. It's totally disrespectful aand is based on a false version of events which make Homolka look like a victim herself. It makes me sick. I was too young to get what was happening the first time around, now I'm old enough to realize that it's another situation of chance. Walk down the wrong street and I could have been one of the victims, it's terrible.

A lighter subject of events to wrap this up... we had a bomb threat in the underground mall where I work (I swear this gets funnier) of course in terms of todays events I was slightly panicky because I get like that. We work near to a subway station so I was playing "what's the worst thing that could happen" in my head. Anyways, we had to evacuate the store and head outside. We of course had people who were undetourred by the alarm ringing and who were still trying on clothes and such. We had to ask them to leave and we had a few who still wanted to make purchases and some that had their stuff held... honestly, they were totally consummed by their shopping... HELLO?! Take the fucking tshirt, I don't care just get out so I can get out and not get blown up. I guess it's an odd commentary on today's life. Material goods are far too important to some people. The Yogen Fruz guy in the mall was still serving customers when we were all leaving, and people were still getting in line... once again, how important exactly is that frozen yogurt to you?
