When I was catching the Greyhound to London, there was a father with 3 kids at the bus stop. The kids weren’t younger then 7 and probably not older then 13. The father was smoking, then the oldest of the kids did the same. I was instantly reminded of how much I hate smoking.

When I was waiting for the city bus, I overheard a 10 minute conversation from 2 grade 9′ish guys about how one of them wanted to buy this ’sick’ hat for $20, and how he wanted to do it now, the other advised him to get the sweater first so that he’d have a ‘matching style’. I was amused through and through.

When I was getting onto that bus I was waiting for, I didn’t have exact change. I inquired if that was alright with the bus driver, sighing, this being downtown, he asked me well how short was I. I replied “I have $3″, his reply was “Well, of course that’s fine!”.

When I was just about ready to get off that bus, a group of 3 guys got on and had a conversation behind me. They were discussing how one of their friends got beat up by a group of others, and how someone didn’t have the “balls” to help out, only one of the participants of the conversation was there, he didn’t help out either.

The chinese place in the Westmount mall closed. That sucks. I almost got a Nintendo Wii at that mall, but I missed it by an hour or two. That sucks. I swear Allen said he wouldn’t be working all weekend, both him and Caprice did. That sucks.

I lost my phone when only travelling between 2 places in a house, conveniently I put it on silent only minutes before. Hours later we found the phone.

I’ve now seen Clerks II twice.

I find that I end up sending a lot of text messages to Sharon when she’s in Bowmanville and I’m in London. They’re always amusing and are definitely worth the time. This probably somehow ties in with me losing the phone.

I made nachos for breakfast and lunch on Sunday, they were well received

Cherish is ticklish, we know that now, Kendel also knows that getting kicked in the crotch is a distinct possibility while finding out the former fact. Thanks for taking one for the team!

More relationships are built on hate and prejudice then  I could have ever imagined. I think I should patent this theory before Sharon tries to claim it as her own, kinda like with snuggets™

The 23 bus apparently no longer runs on Sundays.

As a result of that, I know that taking a cab costs exactly $10.35 more + tip then taking that bus.

The cab option leads to interesting conversations with a cab driver from Egypt. His friend also went to Waterloo, he started in ‘86 and graduated in ‘91, I no longer feel as old. The cab driver trully loves Russia/USSR and wants them to be back in power. He quite literally thanked me for all the help we’ve provided his country, the conversation we had was different and amusing.

The Greyound comes with a surprise, they get us an express bus, in addition to the 4-5 stop one. A girl, well not really, she was a bit older then me, sits next to me. She seems to be from the cooler crowd, I don’t think she responds to my ‘hi!’, she ends up sleeping on my shoulder. I don’t blame her, I was wearing my Wilson sweater and it’s absolutely *delicious* to the touch.

Just a small update on the Don selection process really. The good news is I got my 2nd round interview, it’s sometime in early March, I don’t really remember the exact date right now. Which should be alright, I’ll have some things to prove at that interview, but it should be alright. I, truthfully, love interviews, presentations, performances and on the spot answers. I guess there’s something carrying over from my veiled and mysterious artsy background, helped out by two years of Tech Theatre class and all the fun that involved. In short, it’s going to be sweet
That of course brings up the bitter part of my message. You know when you want to do something, and need that extra bit of inspiration to finally commit to the act, and that bit of inspiration comes from someone else? Ok, good, you do, don’t answer my rhetorical questions! Well, it really, really sucks when all is said and done and the person who gave you that extra nudge and inspiration isn’t in the running for that goal that you’ve set anymore. Yes, of course, I am still talking about the Don evaluations. And as I just discussed with Kristin, that part of it, really effing sucks

I’ve been on a slight hiatus with any updates to this place. I’ve had a few ideas on what to write, but then when sitting down and getting down to it they just didn’t feel very inspired or interesting — even to me — and that would definitely lead to some boring reading. Like for example, just now, I totally got distracte with msn and trying to find a way to connect a Motorola RAZR to a computer to transfer some pictures. Since I’m talking about cell phones already, I’m still loving mine, and now Andrew has joined the Sony-Ericsson W810i club and all it’s awesomeness. Now, thanks to Andrew’s suggestion, I just have to spend $11 on mine to flash it to get rid of my only complaint with ringtones on this phone and add a whole bunch of extra cool and fun things to it, like way better menus and Zelda!

There’s been a slight good news, bad news momen with my don application. The good news is that they really want to give me the 2nd round interview and that was confirmed today when one of the RLCs wanted to talk to me for a moment. The bad news is for some reason they look at the marks for the last semester only, seeing as how in my last semester I was transferring faculties and definitely dropped some classes to save on time and money those marks are looking pretty bad from their point of view. So, printed off my entire transcript and going to grab my midterm marks from the two classes I have, on those I have a close to 80+ average, so hopefully that’ll resolve that problem.

I’m  going to stop now, since I can’t think of anything good to add, I got a replacement for the air freshener in my room. Last time it was mango, this time around it’s some kind of pine/fresh smell, I think I liked the mango more, but I still have 2 more flavours to try before choosing the best one. Either way it’s a nice change from a generic room smell.
