...oh hi!

It has been nice having A. home...she has re-assimilated and not by choice I am sure. She arrived home Friday night and was scheduled to be back at work Monday morning...."slavery" as she calls it...and the icing on the turd cake is she spends most of her evenings going straight from job 1 to job 2 and works til 10 pm. Oh...to be young again. She is showing signs of real maturity...her new job doesn't allow for her to go to the Shambhala Festival which was a PRETTY BIG DEAL...and she was fairly accepting of that news which in the past would have been a nightmare of lamenting and outcry.

Weird time of year....the birthday of baby Fin who would be 13 this year had be survived his birth...to this day I find myself weepy over Jerri and Zed's loss - the 2 people on earth who SHOULD have children. Then Glenn's birthday was shortly after that...he would have been 37...then Aunty Cathy's (which is a happy time!)...then Kim's (cake!)...will slow down now...

I am currently enjoying watching the Conservative federal gov't sinking deeper into their own pile of shit these days...this Senator scandal is epic awesome...and I hope all the scammers go down in a humiliating wreck, reputations tainted for life like they deserve. One can only dream that it really rocks the Conservative boat and Harper is really feeling the pinch....transparent gov't I think not...nice try though jackass.

Rob Ford the idiot mayor of Toronto is also a daily staple of political drama - though his antics and story are more like a Jerry Springer episode...why he has not been ousted just on the fact he is an embarrassment to Toronto is beyond me. (I totally think he is a drunken crack user)...

GAME OF THRONES SPOILER (do not read this Aunty Cathy):Last Sunday's episode left me in weeping awe on the couch....doing some swearing and chanting WHAT THE F*CK over  and over again...the slaughter of 3 main characters  in one scene (totally unexpectedly) was just too fucking much....rude rude rude. They keep killing off the Stark's and they are my favorites ffs....STAHHHP!!! I hope the wee Stark kids grown up to get revenge on the lot of the murderous bastards........

Have I ranted since the BC Election fiasco? The BC Liberals managed to pull not only a rabbit out of their ass but a donkey as well. Now our awesome UNELECTED premier has another 4 years of rule and  will pilfer a seat in the Legislature in a Kelowna riding. it bugs me that MLAs do not have to live in their ridings...why is that NOT a rule?! Anyhow...the NDP shit the bed again and Adrian Dix needs to step aside and let someone with some charisma and less negative history try for the win next election. This province needs change desperately before it is stripped of everything good about it.

On Good Friday We Eat Pink Ham!

I think this is where A. is in Ecuador....it looks amazing....she said the 13 hr bus ride was horrid but well worth it....she is not ill at all, hasn't been abducted by bandits or anything of the like so it is a good day. I imagine they are making their way south in order to get into Peru to go to Machu Picchu...


Kim and I hit the Y today...then a movie...then home for a ham dinner (I hope that is blasphemous somehow)...she eats ketchup on her ham. Weirdo.
It was exceptionally warm today...made me realize summer is coming yet again (BOO! HISS!) Another damn summer...

Tara is in town tomorrow...so her and her toddler of cuteness will be over for a little visit...then I think I am gunna go see Kate and Ethan at their new house now that they have moved into town...Gotta keep busy to avoid obsessing about the potential perils of my only child backpacking through South America...

Sunday I am planning to write a letter and putter as I wait for the evening to come to download the season finale of the Walking Dead and the Season Premier of Game of Thrones (squeeeeel). I am the GoT pimp now....as I am downloading the new episodes and putting them on usb drives for my 2 co-workers. I need someone to talk to about these shows...or I will go mad. Kim doesn't like Zombie stuff or Game of Thrones type shows so...hmmmf.

What I am listening to this week a lot....relaxinggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.....

Halt All Squawking

What a slap in the face for some Republican a-hole to make statements of complete ignorance and stupidity about rape and pregnancy...I am glad that guy is feeling the burn now – the backlash has been delicious and I hope it is a career ender. The fools running around on this planet continue to entertain and horrify. CLICK HERE

I have been feeling all hateful towards the seagulls as of late only to have Guy post a picture of a baby gull on my FB wall and make me feel guilty. ::shakes fist at baby bird cuteness:: Mother Nature was extremely brilliant making females so susceptible to cuteness so that we did not murder our own offspring.

I am almost up to date with True Blood so that I can resume some sort of life...maybe start cooking again...go for a walk...visit humans...I have too many favourite shows...Californication, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Damages, True Blood...I am hesitant to try out new ones for this reason...Breaking Bad and Mad Men especially. My obsessive nature is just too weak to be reasonable with a whole season of tv right at my finger tips.

Man I have been sleeping so good this week...sure I dream about vampires and other weirdo shit but my gawd when I wake up I can’t believe I slept like such a dead donkey...I think the earplugs help...I don’t like being unable to hear someone coming at me to kill me but at the same time...whatever. I don’t hear the cat scritching & being annoying...or A. coming in late...or neighbours...or seagulls (::shakes fists at the sky::) It is an equally blissful as wearing daytime ear buds on the bus...cannot hear kids crying, excessively loud conversations ppl have on their cell phones, cell phones going off, people having stupid conversations, the crazies talking to themselves about Wall Street/the stock market etc. I guess I live my life in the city as Guy does living in the woods...only he gets to connect to nature in the woods after disconnecting from the assholery and I am just disconnecting left, right and center and haven’t connected with anything yet.

Training starts next month for the Transition House...I am signed up and was relieved to find out that even though I originally thought I wanted to be a crisis line volunteer I am a bit unsure and have 3-4 training sessions  before they branch off into 2 separate classes...that is when I will have to decide 100%. I think my main concern is my possible inability to maintain a healthy detachment...I am not sure about that but I think I will get a better sense after a few training classes so I am not making a decision until later.

OMFG work is so dead. I just wanna go home...I truly frigging hate it here when there is nothing to do...I was so desperate I took the teapot of death to the kitchen to clean out...someone made tea 2-3 mths ago and it’s been sitting there since...the teapot grew tea algae NOT EVEN KIDDING...and it partially solidified – so effing gross.
