  • [ Wear your inside out. ~Frou Frou ]


    Yesterday I saw a fox just outside the gates to my apartment complex. It was really quite a beautiful creature.

    Today is a mass laundry day. I haven't done laundry in an
    embarrassingly long time. So today, I've declared war on all my dirty
    vestments and the like. It's unpleasant labour, but ultimately
    rewarding....in that I'm....uhh....clean.

    In other news, it's FREEZING here. Last night I walked half a block
    downtown and I thought my face was going to freeze right off. I would
    have become one of those made-for-tv movies: The Man With the Frozen Face.
    Inevitably, in this unlucky tale, I would begin a charity walk through
    some arctic wasteland, in defiance of the clime that originally
    threatened my life, and conquer it, but only to be lingering close to
    death. I would likely die, and a charity foundation (for, say, victims
    of frostbite and brain freeze) would be instituted in my memory.

    Luckily none of this happened, though...and I entered the pub, quickly
    ordered a coffee with Bailey's, and was a happy, warm-faced camper.

    I have naught else to report. Still waiting to hear about the job. It
    makes me nervous! Ahhh well, I'll be fine either way. Cause "...I'm a
    survivor, I'm not gon' give up, I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work
    harder..."

    Drew out.

  • the (what)s are my favourite part of that song.

  • thanks for your comment, it is just what i needed! i will be at my parents' house the week after christmas and they have unlimited long distance to canada. i need your number, so i can call you and we can laugh together on the phone for a while. :)

    i feel your pain on the nearly frozen face. chicago is brutal right now!

  • thats the funniest thing i've read in a long long time.

  • So glad your face didn't freeze off.  Remember the washing machine at C&J and how it ran on 60 minute cycles?  My clothes were trashed from being "cleaned" by that machine. 

  • awww....i'll enjoy some beach time for you in new zealand and australia.  sorry your face is soo cold.  that's the worst!  i'l pray for your job sit.

  • i'm loving your sarcasm.

  • I feel your pain, at least partially, seeing that Canada is colder than Chicago - it sucks right now. Today is -1 without windchill. Keep on keepin' on and know that Manda and I are suffering with you.

  • thanks for the boxing day 411. you know, those french guys that wrote "o, canada" could have written something like,

    O Canada!
    Our home and native land!
    Heavy coats and insulation all thy sons command.

    With stone-cold hearts we see thee rise,
    The True North strong and freezing!

    From far and wide,
    O Canada, we head south for the summer.

    God keep our land, it's too damn cold!
    O Canada, sub zero temps are a bummer.

    O Canada, free health care isn't worth it.

  • Dang it was freezing here last night too... Oh wait, that was just the airconditioning.

    The Thai girls keep asking about you. What is up with that?

  • hey...since you removed comments from your last post, i'll post mine here...

    let me just be the first one to say the "unchristian" phrase "that sucks ASS"  well, cause it does...I'm sorry. 

  • hey man.  thanks for your comment.  crank up the capenters and enjoy the season man.  no one quite sings it like karen.
