and I'm never getting over this common cold

okay body, you're pissing me off.

let me give you some instruction on how you're supposed to work.

EAR GOES POP! SNOT GOES OUT! THAT'S WHAT BEING MY BODY IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT!!!

also i may have taken some decongestants what make me feel stupid(er) than usual. oh me oh my. this stupid cold is kinda the worst
its not the worst in the sense that i feel particularly bad, moreso that this is the hobo of colds. the transient in the trainyard ya know. day 1 started in my throat, day 2 it'd moved to my head, day 3 my head cleared up but my chest was all congested. day 4, today, its IN MY EAR AND SINUSES!! ACK!

anyway, so i'm watching this leafs/devils game and i know that marty is old and whatever, but i'm thinking to myself that the leafs have now played a month and have already met their first goal. which was simply to not shit the ice all the time. don't lose 2 in a row. we're working on that now, with a 5-3 score for the leafs (thanks joffrey lupul's 3rd period hat trick!) and 5 minutes left.
last year i'd never think that we'd have it now, because we probably would lose. this year, the leafs seem to be able to hold on to it and actually win a game or two. or seven (soon to be eight?). a girl cam hope.
and little jimmy is supposed to be okay soon, and maybe will play instead of gustavsson tomorrow. poor jimmy and his weird neck injury.

okay little hockey mans let's beat those dirty devils.

speaking of is it wrong that i both signed up for a twitter and then immediately used that to start following nl players i like, only to almost die laughing when i saw kevin bieksa of the canucks dressed like will ferrell as buddy the elf. seriously. almost. died.

on that note, the leafs just won again, further completing their goal of not losing 2 in a row. woot woot!
well done lupul your hat wins the game! and gus looked okay again, not great, but he's getting there. it's just a matter of him not being hurt/needing heart surgeries. also lupul with 7 goals already? this is just crazy. these leafs are almost too good to be true.
i don't even wanna think about it, because i am so nervous. but there's a part in my gut's gut that says it's gonna be okay this year.
also a big congrats to lukie schenn getting in a flight on his birthday. birthday fights are manly.

i don't really know what i'm gonna use this blog thing for aside from just getting back in the swing of writing. and since no one is reading it anyway, fish heads fish heads roly poly fish heads. fish heads fish heads eat them up yum!

Well, I ain't evil, I'm just good lookin' Start a little fire, and baby start cookin'

finally friday and i just realized that since my mom is coming i have 2 long weekends in a row! woohoo double win. and thank you to the province of british columbia for recognizing remembrance day as a legitimate holiday!

i've decided to make a more concentrated effort to involve myself in the digital world. i'm trying not to dislike it so much. and it's weird cos i don't really dislike technology, i just hate the idea of being tied to the internet as a source of EVERYTHING. but i suppose it's a good source of everything, and i just have to deal with that haha.

so i should say that i saw this movie one time with my friend tamsmobile and it was called the season of the witch. i only mention it cos its on the movie channel now apparently.

let me tell you about this movie:

in some old times, like the 14th century, these religion dudes are hanging and generally torturing witches. when they die they gotta do this magic religion spell so they don't get witch haunted, like ya do. but one time, they don't do it right. and man oh man, she like totally goes all demon witch zombie ghost murder on the religion dude and steals the magic religion spellbook! oh noes! then she makes the plague happen everywhere and it's gross and plaguelike.

then the religion dudes find her and they catch her again and to make sure they get the LAST REMAINING magic book and kill the ghostwitch dead, they enlist NIC CAGE and ron perlman's terrible accents (or lack of accents entirely) and some girls (i think? or they found girls on the way or something? i can't remember it so much) to journey to some monk hideaway in the mountains.

then some terrible stuff happens and some dead guy wakes up for a conversation to explain some plot points, some monks get brutally murdered, and then perlman and cage get murdered so the women they took with them, or found, finished this magic ritual, had a quick funeral and then walked hand in hand into the sunlight with the magic religion book.

how nice.

it's amazingly bad. and here's a secret, i love movies that are amazingly bad. and i love nic cage. he makes movies that are both amazingly bad and also amazing! or he caters entirely to my taste in movies. either way, nic cage crazy pants? can't go wrong. his freakouts are the stuff of legend.

i may watch this movie tonight. because i am just that cool.

What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing? Don't you know that they're out of touch?

oh man oh man, i forgot about this thing until i got an email saying that i'd forgotten about this thing, go figure.

so. what to say, what to say.
it's been 2 years apparently since i updated this thinger so maybe i will do it more? probably not but i will try.

hunkering down for the winter now so i may have more motivation to do this. plus, i have no roommates to hang out with and so i have to find new ways to entertain myself somehow and i would like to get back to writing. this is a good start.

today i went out for sushi up the road from the new apartment. some place my telephone told me was delicious. we walked in and it was this total hole in the wall. dark and no one there. but man oh man, i tell ya the sushi there was good! the tuna just fell apart in flakes, the salmon was dark pink and cold. we ordered these rolls with yam tempura inside and tuna sashimi with tempura bits on top.. oh my crap they were so good. i have a sushi baby.

also, how awesome to see my uncle bill! and my mother is coming to visit for the first time in a few years next week. it's all family all week, and next! how fun.

and now the part that i really wanna talk about, the hockeys. let's skip the friggen fiasco of last year, and move on to the new series. i have semi intentions of eventually just biting the bullet and making this thinger into a hazel told ya so hockey blorg.

also i preface this by stating this. i make up nicknames for players. i will advise you once in a while of what they are, but maybe not. you can probably guess who i mean, but i don't ever make promises of coherency.

so lets start in the west, where the canucks are dying. and everyone says "oh roberto luongo you talentless hack! what kind of goalie can only win a gold medal and play in a stanely cup final game 7, but not win that too? you loser!" and to them i say cram a walnut in it ugly!
roberto luongo always barfs the net in october and then wins the month of november. october is like a big long monday to him, don't worry about him.
worry about your defence. kevin bieksa (aka meathead) looks lazy/sad. don't give him too much crap he needs some hugs is all and he'll be okay. but man, -9? 10 games in? eeep. the rest of em? lost the german efficency out back they did, gonna take some time to adjust. watch november to look tight though. they'll get a rhythm. kesler's hip will heal, and so will meathead's heart :(

leafs... who the hell ever knows with these guys, but i have a feeling they have it this year. and not in a crazy stupid insano brain damaged kinda of way. more in a not enough to do anything spectacular, but i legitimately think i'll see em post season kinda way. even if only for a round. for some reason kessel and lupul can play together now, and IF tim connolly isn't captain injury bag this season, it could work.

james reimer (aka jimmy) is just, the greatest. for some reason i just love this kid. he's a good goalie (although young) and he's just happy to be there. and a nice guy. always makes sure to make his team feel good when he played awesome. like they helped.

jonas gustavsson, i know everyone else hates him. but i don't. i like this guy for some reason. i want him to do so well, and i think after all the terrible luck the guy has had, he's gonna have a good season this year. i hope so. or maybe i just love goalies more than they deserve (see: vesa toskala).

anyway, maybe i will continue to blorg about hockeys and maybe i won't blorg for 2 more years. in any case no one is reading this anyway haha.

before i go, i have been thinking of caving and joning this twitters thing. mostly to follow ken jennings... is that wrong?

modern-day warrior mean mean stride today's tom sawyer sean mean pride

so i basically fail at this blogging thing. i always have so much intention and not enough drive to get it done. ah well, we shall work on my laziness at another more different time.

until then, i went to see that movie 2012 last night. i was so excited, because i adore bad action movies. you know, the ones with bad science and terrible cliches but that are so bad they've come back 'round to good. the core comes to mind as a perfect example of this. TERRIBLE movie really, but my god do i love it.

anyway so the movie started off rad. ya know in the movie triple x with vin diesel how he can ride anything to freedom? any car/bike/railing/piece of metal/butler he could see, and good old vin was riding it. well, this was like that with driving from destruction. any car/limo/stolen plane etc, and they were driving it from destruction. see?



woody harrelson surprised me with a small role. LOVED IT. so crazy. maybe i'm deranged but i have kinda this messed up crush on woody harrelson. i just think he's neat is all. back to the film, the first half of the movie was rad. some bad science to set up the story, and then the world asplode basically for a while.

the second half of the movie... well, it looks like they ran out of money and it became the CBC presents 2012. we all noticed the drastic quality shift man, we all did.

aside from all that it was an okay movie. not great, but not the worst i've seen. next up is my boyfriend wes anderson (i wish)'s new one fantastic mr. fox. and that WILL actually be a good movie. i saw the thinger for it, and it looks as fantastic as i hoped it would. eeeee!

hey, and now on a person note i got suckered into going to HOT YOGA. for those of you who don't know what this is, it's basically doing yoga IN HELL. it was an hour long and i sweated so much and it was so hard but i didn't fall down! and actually i thought i would be all ow my body today, but really i'm just thinking that my butt/back hurts from when my bones were on the floor. and my shoulders and back A BIT but not too much.
will i do it again? depends on how convincing kathryn can be next week. but i am pretty balls with peer pressure, so likely she'll be all "come on DO IT" and i will cave and say ok.

i will leave on annoying cat on keyboard gibberish and bid you adieu.

aqualung my friend; don't start away uneasy

did i ever tell you about the time i walked 15km up and down a small mountain to a waterfall? this is something that i don't normally do, since i am... how do you say it? oh yeah, lazy as fuck.

but it happened. i texted the shelby to find out if he wanted to have hangouts, and lo and behold the answer was yes. then chris decided we should go on a hike (which i of course assumed to be around the golf course or something). nope! 'twas through lynn headwater park up to norvus falls. very very beautiful. me, shelby, laine, matthew and chris hiked it on up. this was the look at the bottom of the hike:



i totally didn't die, or fall down (although i almost did).
we got mega wicked close to the falls, and i took pictures with my crappy balls phone camera. these are those:







when we were done we ate all we could eat sushi and then went back to our respective abodes. except me, i went to shelby's and we all got online and played left for dead. i was not left for dead, everyone else was. it was a good day.
