i went to starbucks this morning and i ordered some tea which i got right away, i also asked for a glass of water and they said "we'll put it on the bar" so it was in a line-up with every latte and frappucino ordered...

i had to wait forever, for fucking water...

i guess i don't understand the way places like that work

i fed the fish, it was a hungry fish, it likes to eat.

i was assured that this kind of fish does not eat itself to death but i still have to make sure it does not eat too much.

pretty soon i will go to sleep.

today everything took three times as long

was up at 6 and barely got to work for 8, even with my cab driver drag-racing another cab driver

it was that kinda day...

i think i will go for a walk, to buy carrots, the baby kind that is already washed and peeled

is it true that carrots are good for your eyes? i eat lots of them but i still wear glasses

somebody once said that carrots must be good for your eyes for the reason that you never see rabbits wearing glasses

that's not true, i had a rabbit once, it would hop around and when we tried to get it to hop into its cage it would cling to the rug and not move. then i would put my glasses on it, just for effect

also, i had a hamster who got depressed. it crawled into an empty juice can i put in its cage and would only come out to eat. we tried playing the radio for it and putting a mirror next to its cage so it would think it had a friend. none of these tactics worked. finally the vet told us to get rid of the juice can. we did, and it was fine from then on.

now i only have a fish, it's my daughter's really. sometimes i feed it, when she forgets. when it sees me come into the room it looks at me tentatively, and then swims up to the surface, just to see if i left anything. i did not know fish could tell people apart, but this one seems to be able to.

and then today i got off my usual greyhound bus from toronto to kitchener and then got on a kitchener city bus and realized i had forgotten my UNusual large amount of luggage so i got off that bus and took a bus all the way back to the terminal, got the bag, and then turned around and continued where i was going

i would rather not look at the inside of another bus, for a few days at least

weeelll, i just returned from my first ever bus trip from the Port Authority in Manhattan all the way to the terminal in downtown Toronto

now, don't get me wrong, i live on buses, but generally only for relatively short periods of time such as from Kitchener to Toronto


about an hour and a half into the ride a woman got stuck in the bathroom and the driver had to pull over and use a special key to help her out. after that the door was locked shut and no one from the outside could open it at all, which was sort of okay since fortunately no one was locked in there anymore.

however, the driver did not seem to believe that it was locked, and kept saying, "just give it a big push," which people did but to no avail.

i thought they would look at it at the next stop and maybe even fix it but they didn't. when the new people got on the bus driver made an announcement,"welcome aboard the coach. we are restroom equipped for your convenience BUT some people have said that there is a problem with the latch on the bathroom door so i would recommend not using the bathroom if at all possible"

for a twelve-hour ride

...oh did i mention that the bus was running behind schedule so all our stops were made really really short. occasionally, like every 3 hours, the driver would say
"well if you really have to get off at this stop to use the restroom then i GUESS it is alright but make it quick"

i got through the border alright which was the thing i was most concerned about though

this blog is the colour of fake-strawberry flavouring

aaaahh sleep well all

gotta run, gotta find my running shoes

happy birthday to Queen Victoria, indeed, let's celebrate imperialism the right way, with intoxication

this morning i ate those energy balls you know the kind that look like jawbreakers but taste like energy bars mixed with red bull

i am thinking of eating some more, i almost bought a bottle of super-jolt, or whatever it is called, wild grape flavour, the bottle is tiny but potent, supposedly keeps you awake

sleep is for the faint of heart

now i am on to calming green tea

yay

i ate some peanut butter today about to go have a rest and then eat some more,

seriously somedays that is most of what i eat, i can't begin to fathom what i would do if i were allergic

i'm not, nonetheless, i am still afraid sometimes that i won't wash my hands properly and will shake hands with someone who will suddenly fall unconscious

so i wash my hands, sanitize them, and wash them again...

on another note i am discovering that i really like white wine, and it doesn;t stain, either

so i was just walking down Bloor St. between Bathurst and Spadina when I noticed a small dog, a little terrier, i think running down the street with no leash or collar.

at this point i should say that my daughter is a devoted follower of lady and the tramp and her dream is that we should find a stray dog somewhere and take it home and make it a house dog. not everyone in the house i am living in now loves dogs so this was not a feasible option.

i am also aware that between the time lady and the tramp was set and now there have been some changes in how we treat stray dogs. out with the pound, in with the humane society.

i decided in a wwmdd, what would my daughter do, type of moment, to call this humane society so that they would take care of the stray dog in as humane a manner as possible. i called the number listed in the phonebook and was transferred to an emergency line. i felt like an idiot 'i don't know if this is really an emergency but there would appear to be a stray little dog running around in the annex'

they told me to call animal control, apparently different from the humane society, which i did, but since the animal was not sick or injured and surely not a public safety concern, they told me to call back during regular business hours.

so that was the ordeal of the last few moments of my life, all started by a little dog and a disney movie

i played more webkinz this morning...and won thankfully

will make crazy brownies later...that refers only to the decorations i will put on the top as my 7 year old will be eating them too

well, i just finished the webkinz thing. i managed to complete the 'babysitting' job and i also succeeded in kinzville academy, well not me, in fact, the raccoon...

i guess it was a happy beltane after all

goodnight

today i played a webkinz game, was trying to earn extra webkinz money, but i lost

happy beltane btw
