Well what can I say? It feels great to be back! Back in my blag chair. So let's dust off the keyboard and get to some bizznass...
So last week... Of course it involved foolishness at work. Foolishness in the key of bullshit. And of course I would love to go way into the dirty details with y'all, but I know better. I have heard rumours of some people not knowing better and then losing their job because of it. The blogging work bitch. So what happened to me was... let's just say A) do not leave work an hour early EVER. Even if no one needs you there, you're alone, & you still go into work on Sunday, believe me, you are still needed! And B) never try to reason with a woman bigger than you... your reasoning will be like a... it just won't go well. Or anywhere but down. Reasoning with a female is hard enough as it is.
So work was crap last week & I almost quit because of it. It sure is a good thing that I didn't though 'cause (of course with excellent timing) I got a raise! Never a bad thing, always a good thing: the raise - not huge, but just big enough to notice (insert Marshall joke here).
But just because of my raise, it wasn't all chipper on the JK TO front. Monday to Thursday were rotten work days, and then Friday was the rotten home day, as I still went to work, my place flooded... I thought I was in BC. It was terrible, horrible, and I hate mopping up. Thank Jesus it wasn't sewage. I don't even like drinking water let alone walking around in it in my place! Can you understand what I was going through? It went like this: In the shower? Wet. Not in the shower? Wet. Mop. Mop. Mop.
The water was cold, my frustration was boiling.
Whatever though, I know it could have been much MUCH worse, as nothing got ruined in the slightest, despite my entire floor being "watered".
So let's keep moving along.
I went and saw Tenacious D on the Monday of the bad week. The self-proclaimed "Greatest Band on Earth" charged $60, fed plenty off their first album and was far too scripted for my D viewing pleasure. Seeing JB & KG in action was cool and all, and I'm glad I did, BUT... the "Greatest Band on Earth"? They are not. I'm still looking for that band & I know that they're not Coldplay, Snow Patrol or Keane. If you tell me it's any of those bands, I'll call you a liar to your face, spit in your eye, take your shoes and soak your socks, and follow it by a "mama joke" directed at your mama. The fact of the matter is, the D show would have been an excellent $30, and would have made sense as a $40 show, but $60??? Really? My favourite part was when their friend "Lee" announced to the D that their movie didn't even crack the top 10 at the weekend box office (it opened in 11th - pretty rough). JB seemed to have a tough time with that. Oh and KG taking a bong hit from the stage... that was amusing. Also their cover of Good Times Bad Times by Led Zep was a treat... All in all I would not recommend.
I will be seeing one of my fav bands, the Lemonheads, this coming Tuesday, and with tix only being $20, I hope I can count on $$$ well spent.
Low/lowest: I hate Flavor Flav & I hate his "reality" show...
I noticed something on the bus the other day... and I've noticed it for a while, but now I'm just flat-out curious...
Mormons. Mormans pickin' up babes. WTF?
I never noticed them in beautiful BC, especially so aggresive, but here... ugh... SO aggressive. They will talk to anyone! Desperate Mormons. Blaaah... I'd like to see them talk to a deaf person. (Melissa Case anyone?)
So I wonder, would they be amazing or NOT amazing at picking up girls at the bar... or anywhere besides the bus? I wonder this because it seems that they start conversations easily enough & never leave. They are always well-groomed, polite, smiling, confident, of course overly friendly, and always sealing the deal with the Morman smile & slippin' their listener a card. I think it's code too... "more man" anyone? "Let me see the ladies on the bus..." I couldn't help watching this & think of the gelled up a-typical dumb guys at the clubs (not me, I've only been twice in 2yrs). Maybe the Moremans could help those guys out... or not. But if the Moremans loosened their collars a bit, they maybe could be quite a threat to those machismo guys on the clubbing scene.
Mind you, I'm not encouraging anything, I'm just a witness.
Oh girls...
On a good girl note, non-blogger & high school high friend, MI swung into town with her fam' for a visit with her TO bro... and yours truly... It was a splendid time as you will see when I be receiving pictures.
You can't wait, but you're going to have to.
So Weekend Plans (so far):
- Resume workage
- Christmas shopping
- Second City show
- blag update
So that's it for now... this may have been a ho-hum update, but it's an update regardless... so deal & comment.
Back soon...
JK
