In a world full of wildebeests...

With the major projects over with and a mere THREE DAYS left of school, I cannot conceal my glee!!
It's been so crazy at school that even my sweet little Eric, has, through his experiences over the last few weeks, deemed me "Crankenstein"... mmm stein...
But you know, with the gongshow roommate waking me up in the wee hours with her obnoxiously loud sex, I feel this crankiness was justified. Now don't get me wrong here, I try not to pay attention to what my roommate buys, does, eats, takes a crap, what have you. I know when she has sex though. It's like two hideous wildebeests fighting. And I tell her "NOOOO!", and "Stop it!", through the wall, but it doesn't help. She still frightens me into celibacy.

But, frightened as I am, I am warmed with the notion that I have three days left until I can move into Eric's cave at the Hepler Hotel... yes, a wonderful dark, wildebeest-free place for sleeping! I can't wait!!

Happy last week of school everyone!

you should be with me, wasting your time

Ahhh-the tomfoolery attached to Fridays! It always inspires.

After a long stressful week, Eric and I needed to waste some time together doing brainless things. Naturally we made the wise investment in a 2-6 of vodkies. Needless to say its demolishment ensued immediately and, after some time and a mud-puddle incident, away we stumbled to the Bedouin show....
As for Bedouin, the band made me so proud! I can remember many a rainy Kingston night where they played to a mere 15 of us; Friday they played a sold out show at Richards on Richards and had just returned from their UK tour. Anyway, they were absolutely fantastic, and so were the few of my favourite Vancouverites present: Eric, Johnny P, Shannon, Diana....
Apres show, Shannon (always longing for a gonging!) decided that more drinking was in order, so we mumbled over to the Two Parrots and destroyed 4 or 5 pitchers, danced like fools in front of their jukebox and revelled in the fact that we had finally found a bar which would allow ME to fully control the music! That's right; we were in a public watering hole with no chump tunes whatsoever- A rare find.

Anyway, I wanted to write something cheerful today seeing as my recent blogs have been that of whine! Things are going great, Bedouin still rules, and I can still drink you under the table (and flip over tables in my sleep). Thanks fer readin'
