Just putting the mirror up and we’re in business.

Dear Urban Outfitters Montreal,
You’re nice and are refunding me for the silly dress that is made for a stick woman. (by mail!)
I thank you for that.
Love,

Pros and cons of the day
Cons:
I have to pay $165 for a nurse to poke me with a needle today. I have an hour left at this place One of the things my mom brought back from Montreal doesn’t fit, I have to see if I can send it back to the store. (don’t buy this dress if you have any hips AT ALL) My glands are sore and my throat hurts. I have to call the bank and decide on an “adult” bank package.

The other day I was listening to my fully charged ipod when it’s battery died 20 minutes into listening. fuck.
Scare-d-cat.
Dan: Did you see the cats when you pulled in?
Me: No! Cats?
Dan: Yeah a couple of stray, feral cats are running around.
Me: Ew, I don’t want them to touch me.
Dan: Oh well they’re scared of you.
Me: Yeah most people are.
I know it’s lame, but I’m excited to get my hair dyed tomorrow! I feel it’s time for a revised “look”.
In other news, I start my part time job today. SO I get to work all day at this rediculous place and then go work SOME MORE. We’re hitting up a few bars in town tonight, so it might be half decent. If the girl I’m working with ever calls me…

Yaaaarrrdddd Saaaaaleeeee!! For a good cause.
I don’t know how many out there even read what’ I’ve got going on here, but in the event that you are reading this and you are from Halifax, I feel inclined to tell you about a yard sale for Project Peru. Here are the details
Who? Project Peru What? A yard sale of wonderful items Where? 6172 Duncan Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia (map) When? 6:30am on July 27, 2008 Why? To raise...

I don't like needles.
And I have to look into getting a couple of vaccines for my trip to Peru (in 31 days!)… Not only do the needles hurt my arm - they hurt my wallet, too. I have no health insurance, but even if I did, none of the vaccines I need are covered by that. So I’ll end up paying at least 200 bones to get poked… I’d go without them only I don’t know what Yellow Fever is and it...
and they thought Juno was controversial
I just finished reading Towelhead, by Alicia Erian. I know, I know.. Juno wasn’t a book, but Alan Ball (the guy behind American Beauty and Six Feet Under) has made Towelhead into a movie (check out the trailer here). It’s supposed to come out in August, but I live in Canada, and it doesn’t look like it’ll be in theatres here, which is unfortunate because I have a good...
tight and/or bright
I’m super pumped for my friend Jeff’s Tight & Bright party this weekend! I’ve been looking online for wardrobe inspiration, and oddly enough I’ve found it in this photo of Adrian Grenier:
seriously though.
design may not be able to change the whole world,... →
There's something wrong with me
I fell like shit.
Friday
I get to leave early from work today!!!!!!! wooo!
We'll split it 50/50
Me: Nannie, I love you.
Nan: I love you too, dear and I always will. If you are ever in a bind and need something you can always ask me. If I have two pennies to rub together I'll give you one.
Me: We'll split it 50/50?
Nan: Exactly.

Normally, nothing she says ever stands out to me, but I can relate to this as I have a Dad who is white and a Mom who is black…

WatchBest part is their top 5 songs. Haven’t heard much from Chromeo lately and I kind of forgot about them for summer jamz, but will have to re-visit. I saw them here in Halifax in the winter and it was the best show I’ve ever seen - By ANY artist. hands down. (Keeping in mind I haven’t seen too many)
Kraft Dinner for Supper.
I want to go on an adventure! I want to move away, be scared, see small things that remind me of home, meet completely new people, and have that feeling, when I eventually come back home, that home is the best place ever. Right now this place sucks. It’s hot, muggy, boring, and lonely. Yeah I said lonely. It’s possible to feel that way living at home with your parents and sibling....
Stop Dreaming Small
hipsterdiet:
I’m beyond tired of people thinking in increments and steps and procedures and small bites. In the world we live in today opportunity abounds and intelligent hard working folks have every advantage and opportunity if they’re willing to take the risks to get there.
Small dreams should really be called nightmares, they’re utterly useless and accomplish little to nothing, which in...
Review #1: Hancock
It wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be, but I liked the concept. It can’t be easy coming up with a new idea for a superhero movie without taking it too far. One thing I noticed about the movie was no sex scene. For a movie with a harsh main character, R rating, and for the target audience… surprisingly there wasn’t a sex scene to be had. The twist was alright, but I...
