It's raining Men
OK.. it isn't really raining men... more like raining ALL THE TIME... looking for an apartment in this weather sux!! since i have to walk and bus everywhere its a real pain in the ass!! I have looked at 3 apartments so far... and am off to see another one tonight... luckily (or unluckily, depending on rain) It is within walking disatnce of Astrid's place... about 9 blocks east of here!
I've been busy with Megan since she arrived last week.. we walked all around the downtown core one day. and then we both met up with Fraser (another Korean chingu) on onday night to go and watch the hockey game at the cambie. WHAT A GONG SHOW! we started drinking at about 300pm while I ate a plate of wings (1 pitcher of Kokanee)... then we went to the seawall and smoked a big fattie! then we took the seabus to Granville island where we got another pitcher (2)...
after this... i was feeling a bit hammered... we headed over to the cambie to watch the 'nucks play edmonton! we ordered a pitcher of Labatt Blue (that's 3)... and a big ass plate of nachos. then we ran into 3 korean girls and wowed them with our korean language skillz... hmmmm.... turned out that they were tohe absolutely most unkind koreans that i have ever met.... they have about 15 beers on the go and were WASTED... falling all over the place... one girl tried to pick up Megan, Fraser, and I... didnt matter which one of us it was! LOL... fraser had to escort the most wasted one out... and she got all violent that none of us would play with her.. snd started kicking the windows of the bar! weird... YAY for us.. they left their beers.. as this interaction was going on... we had decided that we were going to have a pitcher of every Granville Island brew tat they had on tap... (there were 4 all together, bringing the total to 7 pitchers, +the k.grrlz kokaneees = 8)
next bright idea...Amsterdam Cafe. 'nuf said!
we then crawled into some bar called 320 or 420... i dont know at this point... and we bought another pitcher (9)... i think i had one glass of beer and then threw up into an empty pitcher for about 5 minutes str8!!!!! DAMN! Classy night all around...
I got home at midnite... crawled into bed and died!
GONG SHOW!!!!!!

I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
Whee... Really I don't !
I am officially a JJ Bean Whore.. I have just decided to spend all my free time here downloading music and videos and tinkering with my Webpages.. Life is sweet isn't it?
Vacations Rule....
Oh, and I have to thank Wendi for introducing me to Mika and the Scissor Sisters. They are my newest addictions!

The Space Between
oh dear.
so i got both a bite on a job and a bite on an apartment... in the same day.
the apartment: probably way too close to E. Hastings for me but i will go and have a look at it anyhow, as the rent is $490 for a 10x10 room ... the pictures that were posted were nice... but one never knows what the place will look like in actuality. and there are NO PETS, so schwa will have to bunk with astrid!
the McJob: A curriculum developer in an English College downtown. both working in the office and working from home. Seems like I might be perfectly qualified for it, however... it will be hard to send them a resume as I have discovered that this computer has NO word-processing program. ACK! Guess I'll have to lug Astrid's computer down here and try that one...
things are looking up for sure. if only it could stop raining for a moment so i can haul ass home.
Thinking about Apartments, Jobs, Coffee and Muffins!

Brand New Colony
Well......
I am sitting in a coffee shop on Commercial Drive in Vancouver. I'm happy to be here...
I got a very large VAT of coffee for $2, and some free wireless internet that my MacBook is loving! I think I will be at this coffee shop often! haha!
So, it's overwhelming to be here.. there is far too much English being spoken and some girl at the next table apparently thinks that she is the only one here and that EVERYONE needs to know her business because in the 1.5 hours that she has been here she has not shut the fuck up. CHRIST!!! Something that I guess I will just have to get used to...
Astrid will stop by in about 20 minutes, she's at YOGA now... and we will have a look at apartments... I am thinking of living in the Westend with the GAY men becasue I feel like this area is a bit rundown for my tastes. I'm not sure... though i do know that the WestEnd is a bit more downtown, and it is also close to Korean land which might be nice to have a few chingus floating here and there. The hardest part is going to be finding affordable housing...
I went to winners yesterday to buy some "dress" clothes (which I hate shopping for). It gave me a meltdown and made me cry. I know it's silly to cry over dress clothes, but really... I hate wearing them, so its hard to justify spending $70 bucks on something that you absolutely hate! ARGH... I know i will have to look nice to get a McJob.... and that McJob will prolly be in an office or some other random Joe-type job!
OMG, that girl has shut up.. she must have run out of things to say!!!
Well not much to say today.. lacking coffee, cheap smokes, draft beer, and sleep.... ACK.. I still havent had a JOINT! what's wrong with this picture???????
