I got the job!

Perhaps I should explain back...

I moved to edmonton, and tonnes of new things are happening in my life. One of those things, is rent. I have to pay rent or be evicted then die. I have applied at a variety of places, and few have gotten back to me.
Few, except Statistics Canada. I totally already know how much this rules, pill-head! (inside joke). I hope it can offer enough hours, if not, I'll still be looking for ANOTHER job, but until then I'm gonna do whats best: gloat!

It is a good day to work in a call center?

What a BLAST!!!

Tonnes, and tonnes of beer fueled mayhem. Got to play with all sorts of fun stuff at Michelle's party. She had a brand new set of leather cuffs, quite nice, however they could have been lined nicer. Would have been harsh for longer term stuff. Everybody at the party was fun, and fun. I must thank Michelle for having such an awesome invite ratio-- There was me, 4 guys, 2 of them were gay...and over a dozen attractive AND nice women! Hot damn!

Thats all for now, more updates after another booze fueled mayhem experience.

Starting to feel like home...

Today I had kind of a loner day...

Let's see...I took back the aquarium topper light that I bought, because I found a topper with a light built in. Yesterday I traded in my Sharks. I'm gonna miss those guys, but I cant keep 40 gallons of brackish water (halfway between ocean salt levels, and fresh). That salt is expensive, and for only 3 fish? blargh.

I went to Home Depot, and bought a couple cans of spray on varathane clearcoat. I have to waterproof the new table I bought from IKEA to put the aquarium on it - so I sprayed that, and now it just needs an aquarium placed on top of it. Luckily I have one, I just have to uhh..do it.

The day passed - andys gonna call me soon, with either a red or green light on the 'going out and getting smashed' plan.

Shortly ago, I cooked! First time I've cooked in this house, and it not been just scrambled eggs (which I've gotten pretty good at making) I wish I'd taken a picture. It was Hicory rubbed chicken breast, with brocoli and baby potatoes. mmmmm...so full :D

Talk to you later!

The Big move!

I really have to start doing this daily, theres been weeks of cool stuff, toasted to oblivion by my bad memory.

I do know before I left, I was in a heap of shit with having to clean, pack and generally prepare to move everything I know, live, and do to Edmonton. Well anyway, the big day has arrived, and gone.

I now live in Edmonton, a block west of the Southgate mall. It's a 13 story hi-rise, but I'm on the ground floor with my own entrance.

Super special uuber thanks to Andre, and his lovely girlfriend; Kattia. They did easily as much or more work than I did packing and preparing. I am infinately grateful. Making the trip even better was Andy, and Dave. Theres another girl whose name escapes me, but thanks to her too! I arrived and within an hour we were sitting on all moved in comfy furniture covered in boxes - drinking beer. This whole 'moving' thing is tough...;)

For anyone interested, my new phone number is my old one, minus 6610045 (and the area code is now 780)

At least other people in my life are happy.

At least...

So last night we watched a crazy crazy movie. "Immortal" ("Immortel" en francais). It was a weird mix (well done I might add) of almost life-like CG and live acting. I'm gonna burn it before I return it to Blockbuster. I cant decide if I like it because its a good good movie, or a good bad movie, either of which judgements earns it a place on my 'borrowed movie shelf'.

Andre seems really happy with Kattia. Kattia seems really happy with Andre. How depressing.
Congrats guys!

Only one week till I am living in Edmonton. The truck I'm borrowing is lined up for this coming weekend. I have friends helping unload when I get there so it'll be a good time all around. Perhaps then I can stop being such a moping sack of shit. Seriously, who wakes up crying for no reason?
