Umm

When trying to sell glasses and the customer picks up a pair of rimless glasses, I usually try to discourage them from buying them. I tell them it makes them look old. Unless they enjoy looking old or they actually are old.
As of today, I can no longer say it.



Glasses courtesy of my workplace. I didn't choose these, my coworker and boss did. I wanted the typical nerdy plastic frames I usually wear, but they wanted me to go with something I could wear to work. So this is what I got.
The worst part of all this is that I have to pay for them. $255, which if you consider how much it would have normally cost me at retail price (something close to $800), is pretty good. But I practically got forced to buy something I didn't want.
I'm still undecided if I'm gonna wear these outside of work.

And no, I don't know why I keep making faces when I take pictures of myself either.

For Giostra

Happy Birthday to my friend Stephanie, a huge source of inspiration. I owe a lot more to Asian Avenue than I really care to admit.

Tinfoil

I've had this pain in my side since last summer. It's not a muscle pain; it's internal, so I'm sure it's one of my organs. It used to hurt every time I bent over, but being the inactive and lazy person I am, I rarely needed to bend over (get your mind out of the gutter), so I rarely noticed it. But it's been with me all this time. Yesterday, the pain became constant. I'm pretty worried about what it actually is. I gotta book a doctor's appointment soon. I'm hoping it's either something really cool (congenital twin?) or something minor (kidney stone?) and nothing something serious (cancer?). I have to admit my imagination is running pretty wild; it's hard not to think about it since the pain is always there.

In other news, I finally bought the first Limblifter album off iTunes. 13 years late, but better than never. Laugh at me all you want for buying music online, but I couldn't find it anywhere online and the torrent for it downloaded literally 99.1% of the album and then died.
Man, I miss Canadian rock.

Paul Young Fuck Yeah

I nearly started singing in the middle of the mall today. And not just softly singing either. I mean karaoke-style belting out. I don't sing aloud often, but when I do, it's usually for a song I love.
Today, they were playing Paul Young's 'Every Time You Go Away'.



I kind of wish I had sung now. How can you not feel this song?*

*I'm not being ironic. I genuinely love this song. Along with Sade's 'Smooth Operator', Wham's 'Careless Whisper', Dan Fogelberg's 'Longer', Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' and Simon and Garfunkel's greatest hits, I was pretty much raised on this song. Oh and a shitload of Bee Gees too.

G2

Got a nice little reminder in the mail today from the Ministry of Transportation; my G2 expires in July. So it looks like I gotta get my G. I thought I had something like 2 more years left.
I hate driving. I find it very stressful. I'm not sure if it's because it really is stressful or I happen to just be a very stressed out person. I haven't driven in something like 2 years and even though the TTC can be a real bitch sometimes, overall, I'm pretty happy that I haven't driven.
I'm gonna have to start practicing ASAP again, which won't be so fun. The road conditions aren't exactly ideal for getting back into the swing of things, but that's what I get for leaving this stuff until the very last minute.

Let's hope I don't book the wrong driving test online again.

Cool beans

Congrats to Schemes for putting on an awesome fun show last night. The music was great and it was nice to see people that I barely see anymore. Getting my ass groped by girls definitely helped too.

On an unrelated note, next to Machotaildrop, this is another movie I wanna check out in 2010.
