For Music Monday!

I'm choosing a song I love for the first download. If you don't have it, you've been living under a rock. I don't like things that live under rocks.

Manchester Orchestra - Golden Ticket

This song is probably the second song I heard by Manchester Orchestra that stuck with me. It's gorgeous and lonely and haunting and it makes my heart ache in a way I didn't know my heart could ache anymore. 

Theme days

I think I'm going to start theme days in this blog. Maybe it's time for Trashy Tuesdays.

Salty Sundays
Music Mondays
Trashy Tuesdays
Weird Wednesdays

If I can think of more adjectives for the rest of the days of the week, I'll let you know.

For the first Trashy Tuesday, I'm going to go on record as saying that I love cheap booze. The cheaper and sweeter it is, the happier I am. My absolut (see what I did there?) is Martini & Rossi champagne. Mix that with some gatorade and vodka? You're fucked. Boone's Chilled Wine. It's about $4 a bottle, and it's great for playing drinking games. (Or really awful, depending on what movie you're watching.)

Salty

Cheating is really low, d-bag. I hope you get crotch-rot and your crotch, get this, ROTS OFF. People like you make me want to live on an island.

I kind of can't believe the last few weeks of my life. I managed to book flights to New York for about the same price it has cost me to go to Vancouver. I'm going to love being there twice in May. 

My Vancouver trip is coming up very shortly. It's a busy schedule, it always is. Friday is an event at an art gallery and Saturday is a fundraising gala somewhere else. I have my first LBD. Tomorrow is the search for shoes and a clutch. Maybe a wrap. Probably a wrap. I don't think it'll be that warm in Vancouver. 

And now, I sleep.

We're only here for one more night

My boss is so precious, guys. He's applying for Canadian citizenship because he's Irish and he was like "I think it's about time, don't you?" He said he's been here since 1982 and that makes him more Canadian than me. It does, man.

I'm very, very in love with How I Met Your Mother. How have I waited until now to discover this show? It's legen- Wait for it -dary.

I got invited to go to yet another boozelympics this weekend. Also:

YYC -> YYZ -> LGA
EWR -> ORD -> YYC
YYC -> YYZ -> LGA
LGA -> YYZ -> YYC

Check it, bitches. That's in May.

Next month is YYC -> YVR -> YYC

I used to think it was sad that I knew airport codes, but then I realized that other people are lame for not knowing them. In summary? I rock, you suck.

I finished my first book of January. I don't want to tell you what it was, but it was Sweet Valley High. I don't even care how badly these were written, it was good to read the flipside of the Sweet Valley Saga. I truly did want to know all about the magnificent Theo W. I've had this open all morning, I'm so lame.

Anyway. Everyone, watch How I Met Your Mother and we can all still be friends.

If you know something...

Stop lying to yourself about knowing it. I know something. And I try again and again to let myself believe otherwise. Again and again, I end up feeling hurt. Should I blame others? Maybe. Maybe not.

And so, Melinda, your true task of the new year is not to blame others, but to accept them as what they. You know who you can count on and who you can't.

This is not directed at you or you. I promise. I just didn't want to post this elsewhere.

The end has no end...

I'm finally feeling healthy, though displeased with the bottle of water I'm drinking. Evian, you have nothing on Fiji and you never will.

Yeah, I'm one of those assholes who swears by a certain brand of bottled water. I've convinced other people of my views, so I know I'm not alone.

I'm outside, soaking up some vitamin D because this is kind of my only chance.

It's also good to step out of my office at noon so I don't get the same crazies I got last year at this time.

I'm digging the solid shampoo and conditioner, even if it does take a bit of getting used to. They'll be easier to travel with, for sure. It's just weird running a bar through my hair.

Mmm, Starbucks.

This is me and the new shampoo and conditioner I'm trying. Solid shampoo and conditioner from Lush. 

My aunt was here for the weekend and it was awesome. Also, I'm happy that my room is feeling clean. I have the space heater. I have antibiotics and I have awesome friends. So. I'm off to do more cleaning before it's time for Meghan to be off work and us to be awesome. 

Time to go green, yo.

A long, pointless update

Twice in one day is a lot for me. I do not like feeling sick, though. If you were me, you'd hate it as much as I do. DNW tonsils being enlarged with puss. Although it does bring to mind when Mandy had tonsillitis and she had [as she put it] "swollen pussy glands."

... Yeah, you read it right. Things like that should not be sent via text message.

Things that fail:

Hunter

Me

Things that win:

Not Hunter

Not me.

I am making a frowny face in my bed. Fortunately, I have a space heater. That makes me pretty happy. I got it today because my room is kind of frosty when I get in at night. I bought it from Staples and had it sent to work and then had to carry it home from the train today. This story is not interesting to anyone but me. I think that's what a good blog is. Things that are only interesting to me. 

Things that are interesting to me:

Perez

Apartmenttherapy

Chapters

American Apparel

Technology failing me

Finding the best hairspray

Being approximately as shallow as a kiddie pool

I want to buy a camera, but not right now. Right now, I would like to take penicillin and sleep for the next 3 years. 

My word! It's been forever since I blogged, eight whole days. I've been keeping myself very busy between ________ Night Girl's Club, Chapters, and work. In there, I've found time to book myself a flight to Vancouver, be awesome, and drink about 6 more shots of espresso a day than any person should consume.

C'est la vie. Tout va bien.

That was a few hours ago. I take it back. Tout ne va pas bien. I just got back from seeing the doctor and I'm getting tested for Strep and Mono. Je n'aime pas.

Anyway, now that I've wasted 3 hours at the doctor's office, I've got to catch up at work.
