it's a new record!

22 minutes, 13 seconds. well over double the past record of some 9 minutes and change! yes, I am talking about a conversation with my dad! and we only had to lose one great uncle to come to this new record (you see big bro, i called before blogging this time.) yes, it's sad. so very sad.

on a different note, I already quit my job with the toast people, and now work at HMV! I am so so so so very excited! I get free t-shirts! ra! I expect this enthusiasm to last out the better part of my first hour there.

why am i blogging? i should be painting! paint damn you girl! paint!

Please, do not confront me with my failures, I had not forgotton them...

So okay. It's been like ten million years since I blogged. It's gotton to that point where so much has happened that I'm wondering if i should just act the cat, and pretend like nothing's happened at all.... or perhaps not... where to begin!??

So worked sucked.... my precious job that ruled and had cool people who worked there became this horride cement yoke around my neck with rustly rebar spikes poking into my flesh, and also my boss yelled at me a lot for doing EXACTLY what she told me to do.... SO! Was looking very muchly forward to the road trip to Vancouver to visit big brother and Future Mrs. R. (YAY! it's officially official with a ring and everything! eeeeeeeeeeee!) It was a crazy week, and the day before we left, I decided to leave my crappy job by dropping off my keys with a note that basically said "i'm never coming back. you owwe me money, send it in the post." Score me! it felt so bloody liberating!

Driving to Van with Mr. Brown was awesome! we had top leave 5 times, as I forgot a whole bunch of stuff, and walked in and out of my house for like 45 mins, but whatever! We stopped at the Enchanted Forest! SO GOOD! and also played crazy car games where we made fun of other drivers. and we saw FMR and Big Brother! squeeeee! I miss you guys! I appologize for the week of craziness that decended upon your tranquil existence.

Did some important stuff- like check out UBC and SFU campuses to see if they are good enough to handle the mayhem known as Teens' MFA 2007! Now on tour with Gwar and Buckets of Blood! but more importantly, we shopped! It was exciting, as I haven't spent a penny all summer long! really, it's true! I swear! And for the first time in my life, I have a choice of shoes to wear!

And also it was Uley's b-day, and we got to check out her mega sweet flat in West Van! and also got to see J and L! and they gave me a new pickle puppet (this one's pickle Kato, he lives in the garage)

And then Mr. Brown and I went to Seattle! i love seattle! thankfully, the FBI was off the ball, and we made it back to Canada just in time!

And then we came home, and then I worked in my studio and actually painted! for really real! and then I got a job at Music World with a bunch of toast people (that is, people with the personality of lightly toasted white bread....) and i'm excited about that, and all is well again in the world.

I'll post pics later.

Warning- the following blog contains explicit bad decisions

Okay...wow...I don't know where to start with yesterday, or how much of what happened I should actually admit to, as clearly I know better. It all started off with the intent of a completely banal day of tire shopping for my car. comparison shopping... riveting, to say the least. But where it ended...where it ended is so amazing...so fantastic....so wonderfull that I'm not sure it happened at all- I think I must confer with Mr. Brown to make sure I didn't have some wild hallucination or food-poisoning induced vision or some such thing. All I can say is that the hangover, scratchy voice and dry throat are spelling out a good time last night, like I will possably never know again. A limo? were we in a limo G W brown?
