so, friday was the work-related christmas party and it was not too much of a gong show like i thought it would be, but then again i found a bunch of drink tickets and also had at LEAST three more drinks than intended. haha, you know how it goes. the thinger was in richmond too, and like what the hell is that all about? who the heck wants to party it up THERE?! not i. plus taking the train downtown and then to the end, and to go back to go all the way downtown and then to metrotown? lame man. luckily we were walking toward brighouse and asim, one of my co-workers gave us a lift. woot!

so then i went home and slept and then woke up and made so hungover peanut butter SKOR cookies. they were delicious! we had the cookies exchange of doom at tamsmobile's house and there were so many of cookies. most notably chocolate chip and BACON cookies! holy man! everyone was eating, even balthazar the snake, but he has the stupid and eats like a tard, see:


ain't he sweet!
anyway, then we watched this movie called Santa's Slay and it was SO RAD and so bad. basically about EVIL santa killing instead of being friends with everyone. and also mason raymond is there and so happy to be wearing a flin flon hockey jersey and good vs. evil is sorted out with a curling match OF DOOM! basically amazingly terrible. a new holiday tradition i think! anyway, the cookies were good and stuff and i have so many left and also i think i have diabetes now probably from it, but they were good.

soon i am on my way over to my friend trevor's place for tacos and beer and hockey. should be good, especially since we've been trying to get together for a while now.

speaking of, so toronto played the bruins last night and did not have epic fail! infact, from the only part of the game i saw they played rad man. jonas gustavsson played the crap out of that goal and scored himself a shutout. and happy birthday matty stajan, whammy! but its cool, he'll look totally badass now with that face cut! still think that duder left his feet when he hit stajan but he was fine and finished the game. YAY! oh swedish goalie boyfriend, you be so good, please continue on with this cos toskala makes my soul hurt sometimes, i just want him to be good is all. *sigh*

anyway, that's that. mostly this was a ploy to post that snake picture and talk about chocolate chip and bacon cookies. mmm...

so maybe just now i was all standing in the living room mowing down on some kraft dinner wearing this ridiculous hat that i like to wear in the winter, even inside.

see how awesome this hat is;


yep. so anyway, i felt pretty canadian eh, just standing there in this hat and stuff. i'm not allowed to wear this hat at work, its UNPROFESSIONAL. ebay used to let me wear this hat, and in fact ENCOURAGED it even! it was ya know, ta shut me up on account of me being a big fat loudmouth.

i started re-watching dexter from the start, cos this season is SO GOOD and there is only one more episode and that is terrible. i'm gonna have to wait a while for a new one. anyway, i forgot how damn good even season 1 is with the ice truck killer and stuff. holy man holy man.

so yeah. mostly i just wanted to talk about how awesome my hat is.
oh, and also mention that unintentionally i ended up wearing all of jen's old clothes today haha. her jeans, an ugly button down she gave me last week, and even an old tank top she gave me a while back. what the hell. only my socks, undies, and shoes were my own. and also my hat.

sorry addendum to previous entry, i also want to talk about this. this soup. someone brought this can of soup into my work to donate to the needy. but seriously, this is the sketchiest soup i have ever seen in my life, like i feel afraid just thinking of it, let along opening and subsequently consuming said soup. see fer yerself:

so that phil guy or whatever wasn't very good last night. freaking 7-0 until the last 2 minutes, but i guess thanks guys for not getting shut out i suppose.

they played well enough their last games, but i guess they just suck too much to ACTUALLY have a winning streak. plus joey macdonald is not actually that good a goalie and lets be honest, as pretty as vesa toskala is he's equally as bad a goalie these days. and he's very very pretty.

one my swedish goalie's heart is done being asplode can we go back to winning a game please that part was fun.

also unrelated but jen gave to me an ugly button down that i am wearing and it is amazing and so ugly and i love it, so thanks jen.

um... i am using the internets? woo hoo? i avoid these tubes cos like... what the hell do i know right? but i guess using the internets is the wave of the future and i should stop being a luddite or something. right? i don't know. what i do know is that i want a cola and i want to see the FANTASTIC MR FOX but who will go with me and when? cos its my boyfriend wes and i haven't seen it yet and i feel like a failure in a way okay?

i feel wiggidy wiggidy wiggidy whack about it. the end.

i took a bunch of myquils a little bit ago and i'm all loopy on em and stuff so lets sit down and talk some hockey eh?

lets get it out there, the leafs started off SO BAD. like i could barely even watch it bad, but ya know lately they've looked pretty okay. goaltending is an issue but up front, and even now defensively they look sound.
they've played .500 hockey november til now, they won 3 of their last 4, and they really did play their best game of probably the last 2 years the other night against the habs. how great was it by the way to watch those habs get smashed like that in their building with the stanley cup and the grey cup in the house? hahaha! losers!

but yeah, there's been a turn around of sorts guys. phil kessel is the guy that started it too man. i kept my mouth shut on this one for a long time, cos it was such a STUPID TRADE if it didn't work. and toronto is keen on stupid trades (ya remember that time we were like dear ny islanders? have a draft pick that will be roberto luongo and we want wendel back okay yes please?) but yeah, this phil guy or whatever can skate, he can pass, he can score many goals and hes a joy to watch. that end to ender last week was a thing of beauty! i am still gonna make jokes about winning the draft lottery and not having a first round pick but that's me.

oooh and my boyfriend tomas kaberle replied to his last ballsy season with this wonderful points monster season and my hockey poll says thanks! but any one who knows me knows how i love kaberle anyway. i call him the fancypants. always. cos of his fancypants passing and skating. yeah, so anyway... ian white remains underrated and komisarek is pretty okay when he plays simple. schenn started out atrocious but he's like 14 so he will mature and it looks like he's working on it.

the hag-man (as i call him) has been pretty rad too man. he's got a great quick wrist shot that he's been USING THIS SEASON FINALLY! so thats nice. but okay, grabovski GET OFF MY TEAM YOU CLOD!! seriously? where is your sense man?! this kids got all the skill in the universe but what a retard man. has no idea what the hell to do out there. ugh.

but goaltending. yes, we get to it. goaltending. vesa... what the hell? you injurybag! either you and sami salo are made from the same balls glass (PUN INTENDED HAHA) or you're a baby or you're a faker. buck up man! i've seen you play like the wind dude, you've stood on your pretty pretty head and played the crap out of that goal. you're a small guy, so DON'T HANG BACK IN THERE you fool! go forth and sneer at em. ain't nothing like the stare down of a half-crazed finn.
and jonas, you're my swedish goaltending boyfriend, but a bit dodgy on the heart? didn't really see that one coming. they assured me they mended your broken heart before and now it breaks again? you're too sensitive, but i will forgive you because you are the monster and i have such hopes in you. a big goaltender who moves well scross the net and has style and poise and confidence! yay! just waiting for you to ripen into my #1 and for your heart to stay okay. like seriously what is this goalie curse?!

as soon as these guys get well... i think we might have a chance maybe to play some hockey. its not gonna be a pretty year but its not so bad at this point that we have to toss it away right?

wow. nyquil makes me some kind of optimist or something. haha!

also vancouver did a thing where they beat new jersey 5-2 and i liked it. now if they can beat the fuckballs outta philly tomorrow i will be a happy steph. i friggen hate those guys. bunch a goons man, bunch of goons.
but aside from that bobby-lou looked good in goal. vancouver's been playing good hockey these days too.
i find myself splitting alot of time now between these teams, except for when they meet and a thing always happens that is terrible but i cheer for toronto anyway. but yeah, roberto looked good, better than brodeur and that's cool. vying for olympics tonight.

its funny to think how deep the canadian talent pool is vs the usa. the usa is like we got these guys for sure, and maybe a few more. canada is like uh... anyone can go. like, regular uncle jim can do and do well probably. how do you choose for canada?

anyway, that's probably enough babbling i'm gonna go watch that show fringe that pacey from dawson's creek is on. valtron told me to watch it its like the x-files and its good and i like it. and maybe i have a crush on pacey, but i did when he was on the dawson and i'm not ashamed of that.

one last thing, it occurs to me that valtron tells me to watch some things on tv from time to time and they always end up being things i like very much like fringe, true blood and FRIGGEN AWESOME DEXTER (holy hell how good is this season with john lithgow in it wowowow) so thanks val! babbblebabbbleNYQUILSSSSSSSSS

i went to work today cos i was starting to feel better but then i didn't. oh man did i ever not feel better. i was going strong until i ate some chicken soup and then i basically wanted to die. i was sitting at my desk staring ahead in my cubicle and just pouring sweat. people kept coming by and telling me how terrible i looked (by the way, thanks guys. real nice) and so i basically escaped to a doctorb.

it was neat, they made me put on one of those SARS masks and i don't know how people wear those things man. all that hot sweaty breath, it made my eyes fog up. what the hell?



anyway, the doctorb came in and asked me like a bajillion questions and i kept forgetting everything, like all the words i needed and just kinda said words at him until he took my temperature. which was 100.8. he listened to me breathe for like 5 minutes and then had me try and cough, which then i couldn't stop. he asked me alot of questions about my poop, and seemed unhappy with all my answers (understandably). then he jabbed around my stomach until i almost barfed on him and finally handed me a note and promptly bathed himself in sanitizer. he then walked across the room and told me to sanitize before i left.

the note told me "i am unfit for working until december 4"
unfit. seriously.

wow.
so... plague. its not the swine for reals, but i am going to call it swine jr. or piglet flu?

ugh. so i have been sick with demons for the weekend. its my own stupid fault though. you see, a friend of mine from work was all "I HAVE THE SWINES H1N1 BLARGHGSSS!!!" and then went home one day.
she was pretty sick, but in the end it was not with swine flu, just regular kind. but in any case i visited her to bring foods and movies because i am a nice guy and people with the flu should watch the lost skeleton of cadavra so i brought that over, and then on friday morning i started coughing a bit. by the end of friday i was a cough bag. by saturday i was a plague zone. coughing, fever, chills, sweats, body aches, overwhelming need to sleep for 20 hours. but oh god sleeping just means waking up in various cold sweats/regular sweats. man... so much sweaty sick person sleep. i feel like i should just lysol my whole house today, but i don't believe in anti-bacterials for the most part so i won't. we need bacteria to becomes immune to things, i like immunity its neato.
but i feel better today! a bit better, not all better. its still going to be a couch/pyjamas/tea/juice/soup day but i might venture outside to get some fresh air even at some point. i haven't left my plague couch except to go to bed.
i feel superbad though cos tamsmobile slept on my plague couch on saturday night and now she has the plague too :(
i didn't wanna pass this fucker on if i could help it.

on the plus side my body doesn't hurt so much anymore. man my body was so weak and sore. so useless. BE GONE SICK DEMONS! BE GONE!!

oh also my boss called me and was like OH NOES YOU HAVE THE SWINES DONT COME TO WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE DOCTORS NOTE AGGGHH!!! and i was like, no its only regular flu not swines i promise. she's worried about her kids i think gettin' swine, but its not swine. i told her i would be in tomorrow probably and she didn't sound happy cos i think she still thinks its swine and is all paranoid that i'm gonna swine up the office. but hey! today i am sitting here and not dying on a couch, and that means i am getting better. and swine flu isn't a 4 day thing. thats a regular one.
woot.

okay, rambling over.
end transmission.

so i basically fail at this blogging thing. i always have so much intention and not enough drive to get it done. ah well, we shall work on my laziness at another more different time.

until then, i went to see that movie 2012 last night. i was so excited, because i adore bad action movies. you know, the ones with bad science and terrible cliches but that are so bad they've come back 'round to good. the core comes to mind as a perfect example of this. TERRIBLE movie really, but my god do i love it.

anyway so the movie started off rad. it was like, ya know in the movie triple x with vin diesel how he can ride anything to freedom? any car/bike/railing/piece of metal/butler he could see, and good old vin was riding it. well, this was like that, but with driving from destructions instead!! any car/limo/stolen plane/rv etc, and they were driving it from destruction.
woody harrelson surprised me with a small role. LOVED IT. so crazy. maybe i'm deranged but i have kinda this messed up crush on woody harrelson. i just think he's neat is all. back to the film, the first half of the movie was rad. some bad science to set up the story, and then the world asplode basically for a while. so rad.

the second half of the movie... well, it looks like they had to pay dear woody a little too much and ran out of money and it became the CBC presents 2012. we all noticed the drastic quality shift man, we all did. and we all noticed it went from EVERYTHING ASPOLODE to DRAMA BOAT. but aside from all that it was an okay movie. not great, but not the worst i've seen.

next up is my boyfriend wes anderson (i wish)'s new one fantastic mr. fox. and that WILL actually be a good movie. i saw the thinger for it, and it looks as fantastic as i hoped it would. eeeee!

hey, and now on a person note i got suckered into going to HOT YOGA yesterday with some friends from work. for those of you who don't know what this is, it's basically doing yoga IN HELL. i've never actually even done regular like yoga (except for on wii fit and it seemed to think i had a palsy from how unbalanced i was). so anyway, hot yoga was an hour long and i sweated so much and it was so hard but i didn't fall down! and actually i thought i would be all ow my body today, but really i'm just thinking that my butt/back hurts from when my bones were on the floor. and my shoulders and back A BIT but not too much.

then i went out today to buy the new star trek movie cos its out and i wanted it. so i go and buy it and come back home all triumphant and excited to watch it and i totally wiped out hardcore on the stairs in front of the walkway to my apartment. i bailed hardcore fell on my hands and knees and scraped my knee and hand. i scraped my knee real good too, and i jammed a finger and it hurts and i tore my new jeans on top of that. fuck the injury it barely hurts now, but those jeans took me FOREVER to find and they're all torn and bloody :( stupid legs, why you be so mean?

( gross picture of knee bloods under here )

sgfdgad uywgef eytuwq g
i will leave on annoying cat on keyboard gibberish and bid you adieu.

OH MY GOD THIS THING IS ON?!???!?!11!!!!

i will start updating this again maybe?
until such a time, you should know that i gots me a new digital camera (thanks to my sis!!) and so i shall now post the first photo that i took on it. woot toow.
yeah, i'm leaving that.

anyway, picture time:


this thinger lives in the bushes infront of my house and i am afraid that one day it will have grown so large as to squat in my house. and eat my bones.

anyway, there's lots of stuff that happened since... april?
but next time folk. cos i'm lazy.

so i still have this thing i see.
i promised my sister i would post apartment pictures and so here we go. this is where i have lived this year since january:

( picures exist behind this linky poo )

so, i spent my first night here in the new place.

my room is hot as hell, but thats fine.

i went to the zellers this morning to buy a bahmat, shower curtain and shower head. the shower is soooooo good. so much hot water, holy crap!!

left the keys for mel, he called to give me crap about it and then hung up on me.
he then left me a message saying that we were animals because of how we left the house.

the message basically says that we had the priveldge of living there and if we were human beings and not animals we'd never left the house that way. hey mel, ever occur to you that we left it that way on PURPOSE?!
had you been any kind of a decent person you'd have fixed what we asked and not EVICTED US at christmas. had you been any kind of decent person, we'd have cleaned up the place.
happy holidays, assfuck. hope ya like fridge experiments and hidden shrimp.

anyway, i took the day off today to get settled and set up. i'm so excited!!!
i start 2009 MEL FREE! so awesome.
