5:44am

I haven't slept more than two contiguous hours in the past three nights.

Brother on brother incest.

the house we stayed in was a old catholic college property that rents out to large weddings and parties on weekends.  it was pretty cool.  squeaky wooden floors, old furniture and fixtures like old doorknobs and bath tubs and rooms. 

Thank good for smart phones and free WiFi.

Ogling cheap produce at the supermarket.

Getting to know stranger/relatives strangers.

That's $3.29 each.  EACH.  In Hawaii that would be $3.49 a pound if its on sale. And that's $3.29 each in Canadian dollars. 

Ord

Coffee, sleep deprivation, cooking pretzels, morning airport rush,

Best flight ever

This flight is about one fifth full! This is better than sex, Saturday mornings, 24 year scotch, three day long weekends, Christmas time, finding twenty bucks in your jeans pocket, eating tacos, talking to a pretty girl, voting for obama in 2008, watching Tom Brady and the patriots win their fourth super bowl.... no wait, not that last one. Nothing will ever be better than that.

Whoops. Never mind. Forgot this was United. Here comes the group of ninety six United is blaming TSA for being late.  God I hate United. I wish it would just die. 

Happy Canada Day

Off to Toronto to celebrate Canada Day!

List of things to do while in Canada:

1. Niagra falls, not because I want to, but because i have to, not because i have to, but because my family signed up for a guided tour of the greater Toronto region.

2. Foo Fighters show on July 10?

3. pancakes, maple syrup.  maybe buy some maple syrup...the real stuff... not the aunt gemini high fructose corn syrup.

4. hockey game?  No. that is lame.

5. Tim Hortons coffee and donuts.

6. eat canadian bacon.

7. see a moose.

8.  

pineapple season

it's wedding season.  I love weddings because they always makes me feel idealistic and romantic about love, life, marriage, etc...  it's hard to be cynical at a wedding.

But I found a new cure for any post-wedding optimism. I learned in the two days since the wedding that the best cure for hope is to read "Gone Girl".  That book will very quickly quash any good will one may have for marriage and love relationships.

they used pineapples for centerpieces

Is this a big meal for one person? 

i don't know anymore. 

Even if I'm enlightened to the point where I no longer watch tv now, I would have stopped watching when all the TVs these days have that super weird hyper real soap opera look.  It is impossible to ignore. The image quality throws me off more than poor acting, worse writing or unbelievable plot. It looks so wrong!

update: did tv always have so many commercials? were the crawlers always so big and constant and distracting? Why does anyone suffer through this when they can get it for free or cheap streaming online with no commercials.

update 2: hash tags on the upper right corner of the screen is a thing now... is nothing sacred?!

every back ground  in every scene looks like a high school you tuber green screen made with windows movie maker.

And the product placements...god is dead...nothing is sacred.  

A dwarf at the gym talked to me while I was doing bicep curls. He encouraged me to continue lifting. Said he "used to be as skinny" as me. He actually weighed more than me according to his self-reported weight  (I kind of don't believe his reported weight). 

Anyway, long story short:  Tyrion called me skinny. Wtf.

Eggs

Nothing makes me feel more wretched and tired of living than when I leave something on the stove.

look the other way

I am obsessed with this song.  I can't stop listening. 

Jiffy lube

You need to make reservations for a safety check at jiffy lube now. How is jiffy lube jiffy if you have to make a reservation in advance?!

Kitties everywhere!

Find the kitty

Another day at the office

Pray for sex/surf

We live in a vacation.

Library

Love libraries. This one has great use of open space, but should focus on filling that space with actual books before getting decadent with the aesthetics. Windows are crystal clear and spotless though, I'll give them that.

Today's view

I don't think this is health code compliant.

College students

They are so cute; the culinary student scooping the veggies was sooooo hesitant and unsure of what he was doing. It was hilarious. It's scooping food on to a plate dude! Relax.

Adventures at LCC

Chicken duxelle:  chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms, herbs and shallots with a red wine sauce, potato gratin and veg medley. Made by culinary students.

Adventures at uhm

I find that the food I eat is oddly fascinating, to me.

Burn it to the ground

Rather see chinas nuked into the ocean than see this happen to my spot.
