Okay, so it's been a week. MattVideo told me I don't post enough. He's not wrong. I'll do my best, but the stress is making me feel guilt every time I do anything that isn't reading about crack dealers in East Harlem. Yikes. I am stressed. This weekend was probably my most stressful and ill-making all semester. Yesterday I was talking to Phantom and I told him that after the One Minute Film Fest I feel like everything this week should follow the trend and fill only 60 seconds. One m...

I came home from class today, turned on the light in my room and noticed Stanley was missing. I actually freaked out for a minute and had a flash of tiny Stanley rolling his box like a hamster wheel down the stairs and out the door, and then making a mad limited leg movement dash to the greyhound terminal downtown to get back to T.O. But then I found him on the floor underneath where he had been hanging. The fall must have been mighty though because some of the paint on his hat and his e...

Last night I had a fabulous time with Phantom which generally cured the hours of not sleeping through the goodness of lovin', indian food, monty python, apple crisp, and The Trip (directed by Jack Nicholson). So the thirty-eight hours... I have never pulled an all-nighter in my life. I've stayed up late working on many a project, but those were all training to get to the championship which was Wednesday night. I had three papers due on Thursday. Two were 8 page papers, and one was a ...

Here is the oddness of Jess. One of her winter coat buttons fell off, and instead of sewing it back on, she threw it away declaring that it was time for Rod and Cath to buy her a new coat. Now, I told her that I would teach her how to sew the button back on, but she insisted on throwing it out. This seems odd to me. Because even if you are planning on getting a new coat, you still need a coat to last you a little while longer, so why not re-sew it! And to through away a button for someth...

I have such an odd connection to cult-y movies and tv. This weekend I watched Dazed and Confused, Empire Records, and the best of Jimmy Fallon, and every single one of them made me jump up and down gleefully at some point or another. These are the remnants of my early adolescent hood when weekend consisted of movie nights and SNL and sleepovers. And just to complete the movie comfort weekend I've experience I plan to throw in Almost Famous before the day is out. I don't know why, but ...

Phantom and I had a henna adventure this evening to kind of leave an lasting impression for the next few weeks. I thought it would be a nice thing to do. And it was, except that we didn't have enough time to let phantom's dry so it got all smudged and wrecked. Ahh well. It was nice. We both drew our logo incorporated with the Dark Side prism. I'm going to miss him so friggin' much! I leave tomorrow for Menno camp which should be exciting. Based on my negative experience last summer,...

I'm in the midst of crazy preparations right now. I'm going to camp for five weeks and I'm trying to decide what I actually need there. The problem is that in the next three days I have to buy everything and pack everything, as well as see everyone I want to see before I leave, and go to the gym. It ain't gonna happen. So the prioritizing begins. The problem is, that I want to spend every waking moment with Phantom. We'll see how this works out.

Nariman I miss you! I miss your whole house full of people. Nice to know you haven't forgot about me and my bloggin' ways! I'm excited that you commented so you get your very own article. We'll have a ribbon cutting ceremony for our house and you're welcome to bring and cd compilations you wish. Yay!

I went to Gooloph today and did some work in the Gooloph garden. We just took possession of the house yesterday, so we went today and had some Tito's Pizza and did a whole lot of gardening in a tiny amount of time. My cousin who lives in Gooloph also happens to be a landscape architect, so he came with us to the plant nursery and helped us pick plants that will thrive at our house. We planted a sumac tree, two yuccah (sp?) plants, some japanese blood grass and some crazy curly spirally gra...

I'm back and forth on looking forward to camp. I think it will be great to be out in the woods for a month, but it's hard work out there and I'm going to mis my Phantom, and my friends and my family. It's the constant struggle between trying to get pumped about independance, and enjoying my life as it currently stands. I'm tired of being anxious, but it seems that I can't accomplish what I need to. I dunno. The summer is shaping up very awkwardly, but it's all happening. I dunno. I'm h...

I've been out of the blogging grove for awhile now. I'm debating dropping it for the summer, since the nice weather generally draws me away from computer screens. Also I'm leaving in a few weeks and will have little to no access to a computer. And on top of that I'm feeling very "meh" about the whole thing. I've been making with the childcare work and the gym going. It's all very exciting. And sweaty. Beyond the gym-going, I've been livin' for the weekend. I've been doing my best to...

I am so dazed out and I just don' t know why. Bah. 'Twas a good weekend. I bought my wool! (YAY!) And also made various purchases for Phantom's birthday. (Which all went well yesterday.) Right now I'm all about the the tired (and all about the parenthesis). This has been one of those days where I was swinging back and forth from being on, and being just plain dumb. (Banquo?). But it was a good day! I've developed a love of rainy days since it means that Phantom doesn't work. We...

Saturday morning I woke up and called Tama and her family for Hotel/Motel recommendations in her town as Phantom and I were heading over to see her production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. She gave me the number of the Budget Motel, and the Welcome Inn. The Budget Motel had no vacancy, so the Welcome Inn was it. The room was 70$, but we had no other options so we went for it. Phantom and I headed out of the city on the Go Train to Pickering at 3:13pm. It was a fun ride seeing as how we...

This has been an eventful weekend. Yes. Exciting and eventful. It started with a flat tire as Phantom turned into my driveway popping his back tire on the stone ridge of my front yard. This was followed by a game of beat the clock as we had twenty minutes to try to pump up the tire and drive the car over to Canadian Tire before the Autoshop closed. With three minutes left the tire hadn't inflated at all, so we drove over on the flat. It was the most vibratory drive of my life. We made ...

I've been sans-blog for nearly a week, mostly because everytime I get here I just don't feel like writing. I've been busy what with, Goo-loph house hunting, car accidents along the way, trying to make plans and surprise work at the childcare. I'm still missing Phantom, but we've managed some time together. Last Friday we had a two hour feast at the Mandarin. So much food! I still have stolen sushi in my fridge! I've been completely re-organizing my room, which has left my bed covered ...
