Naughty....
I've been searching for this damn song all day... trying to find a way to get it on my ipod cause I can't get it out of my head... and lo and behold... the damn girl is from Vancouver... for the love of jebus. Finally found a copy of it on the L word Season 3 Soundtrack which is where (duh?!) I first heard it.
Makes me want to dance up on the old man. Unfortunately he's at the new apartment workin' his ass off painting over the god awful peach crap that the dickhead painter put up before. Gross. He's put in about 24 hours in the last 2 days.... lots of work to be done before we move in... Wednesday. It's coming up really soon and guess who starts work tomorrow... me. Sweet. But despite being tight on cash we've got some sweeeet stuff to deck out our pad. It's going to be so nice to have a place to live in that we actually enjoy being in, that's clean and comfortable. No ants, weird bugs, mold, consistently dirty floors... AND how amazing will it be to have an address for more than a year... eh? EH???? I don't think I've had the same address for 2 years in a row since I left 327 Cyr... That works out to moving 6 times in the last 3 years. Can you say....B-A-L-L A-C-H-E?
Now all I have to do is keep my fingers crossed he'll still love me in two years. (Jokes hun... jokes). Despite finding my cellphone in the washing machine yesterday... I'm happy as a clam.

falling in line
Had a good day today. Went on a mission to New West, Main St and Downtown. Sifting through antiques and old tables and dusty books and wobbly chairs. Keys and old cameras, artillery and canvas. Bookshelves and shotgun boxes. Looking for pieces to put in our home. The old man and I signed a lease today. Bought a set of pots and pans today too. Settling into Domesticity; another dimension that I thought I would never see... but it's kinda nice. I've got a good teammate.

redundant
I think I used the word 'sweet' at least 10 times in the last post. What? The zoo was sweet. For future descriptive reference:
Main Entry: sweet
Part of Speech: adjective
Synonyms: affectionate, agreeable, ambrosial, amiability, angelic, aromatic, attractive, beloved, charming, considerate, delectable, fragrant, fresh, gentle, harmonious, heavenly, honeyed, kind, lovable, lovely, luscious, mellifluous, musical, pleasant, pleasing, pretty, saccharinity, scented, soothing, sugary, sweetness, syrupy, thoughtful, wholesome, winsome
Anyway... today was the fourth nice day we've had in June. Yar. So I was walking around "Greek Day" groovin to this.
7 days baby. 7 days.

0 for 5 Hermiiiidaaaa....
Ben and I went to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle yesterday. It was super sweet and OBVIOUSLY I took more pictures than necessary. And OBVIOUSLY I'm going to show them to you.. with commentary. More of them can be seen on my stalkbook but you have to be my friend to do that. Or if anybody requests to see them.. maybe I'll post more.
SO... here it goes.
This is kind of irrelevant but... is anybody else sick of gas prices/hearing about gas prices????? Stop shit talking and start coming up with something else more sustainable.... christ. Anyway... $20 got us 4.6 gallons. Sweet.
Ocelots are sweet. Ben says if my kitty looked like that she would be way sweeter. I agree. I bet ocelots don't play fetch though. Take that ocelots.
Piranhas are sweet. I just wouldn't want to swim with them.
Emerald tree boa beautiful snake... beautiful markings.
Toucans... also sweet. This guy was pretty much posing for me.
FLAMINGOS!
Giraffes! The big one was trying to hump the little one but unfortunately I'm not quick enough to catch some sweet sweet giraffe lovin.
Ok... so... I love Hippos, like... for real. They are so sweet that even crocodiles are afraid of them. They look chill but could bite you in half. Don't mess with a hippo.
Elephants are also really sweet. This is the male of the the family. The other two were females and one of them was two steppin. It was pretty funny.
Komodo dragon. He was handsome.
This is a Gila Monster. When I was young my father used to tell us that if we misbehaved the gila monster would get us. Who knew it was a slow moving lizard that is maximum 2 feet long and 5 pounds. Weak. Apparently kids will believe anything.
Reticulated Python... this bad boy is tied for the longest snake in the world. The girth of this fucker was about the size of my head. And yes... I have a fat head.
Northern Pacific Rattlesnake. This fucker is found right here in BC... he's got mad camouflage skills. Word to the wise... don't step on him. We also saw a King Cobra. He was lying on his tummy the whole time so I couldn't get a picture of his sweet hood. So the rattlesnake will have to do.
After the zoo, Benny and I hit the Seattle Mariners game vs the Marlins. Baseball is pretty boring to watch but I had almost forgotten how it felt to step out onto freshly dragged dirt.... the smell of freshly cut grass of the outfield... the feel of playing under the lights... the heckling. We were harassing the right fielder for the Mariners... I kinda felt bad for a bit then thought about how he makes more money in one game than I do in one year.. and then I didn't feel so bad.
Being at the field made me miss all the girls I played ball with... made me miss the camaraderie, scraped knees, slap of leather, double plays, strikeouts, good hits, laughs, post game beers. So this one goes out to all the ladies I've ever played ball with who just played because they loved the game. Good luck this year Phillies.

that's why they call them business socks...
I've been a little bit stressed the last few days... but it's over now... I hope *fingers crossed* that it went well. So here's some things that have been help chilling me out...
I caught one of my favourite Canadian movies on tv the other day... Men with Brooms. Ya sure.. laugh.. but I think it's cute and it's Canadian and it's about curling and it has BEAVERS in it.
The soundtrack reminded me of a few Canadian female singers that I had kinda forgotten about...
A burly girl.. Sarah Harmer...
(full of clips from the movie)
Another quick one.. reminds me of current living situations and how stoked I am to get out.
The other lady I want to mention is from Ottawa (wootwoot).. her name is Kathleen Edwards and my friend Kev plays bass in her band.
Other things of interest... I think this show is absolutely hilarious.
and one last one for good measure.. it might be one of my favourites...
