Only I could get completely lost in Toronto, take a wrong turn, head east when I think I'm heading south, wind up two cities away in the wrong direction, only to pull off by complete fluke chance on the street on which my cousin lives.

If there's a better summary of my peculiar breed of luck, I sure can't think of it.

cureelise:
u know it probably would come to think of it- though I'd rather not think about it at all - oh and happy belated b-day
akirali:
Happy belated birthday! smile

And thanks for all of the advice over the years. It may not seem like it sometime,s but I do take a lot of it to heart and am trying to change my life accordingly.

Citizens of Toronto! I have returned to your city to rule you all with an iron fist! I demand to be appeased with offerings from Sushi Time (preferably the one on Bloor), and that pizza place down on Queen West that I like so much. Amado's? Amato's?

I'm currently enjoying the hospitality (and lingering 'fresh paint' smell that for some strange reason isn't entirely unpleasant)...

Okay, so you know how any time somebody complains about problems with their PC, some wiseass always quips "So buy a Mac"?

So the other week my computer dies. I'm not sure why or how... it just gives up the ghost for no good reason, at really the worst possible time for both my stress levels and my budget.

Nonetheless... I just bought this Mac....

Dammit. We've lost another one frown

And what did I say about advice? *points finger in threatening manner*

Seriously though, thanks.

Just to give you a ballpark figure, you should be able to get a one bedroom with parking and utilities and a walk to a subway station of 10 minutes or less for $1200 or less. We live in a fairly posh part of town and that's what we're paying for our largish one bedroom. Slum it a little (or go for an older apartment building) and you can squeeze in under 4 figures easily.

One great thing about all the condos going up in the city is that it's become a tenant's market.

So I've been back for a couple of weeks or so. I stayed for a while with my mom to help get some of my dad's affairs settled, and then I actually got the sense that it would be okay to leave and return south.

I'm dealing with things as best I can. Some days I feel awful, some days I feel okay and then...

Sadly no room would be available until May, at which point I can offer you a good deal on a good sized room in the heart of downtown. But if you need to stay over for a few nights while you find a place and stuff it shouldn't be problem. I'd have to clear it with the roommates but I don't anticipate a problem.
dholokov:
Most places will let you break a year long lease with two months notice. does this mean you deifinetly have the job?

My dad died this morning, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

If you haven't told your dad you love him lately, now would be a good time.

So at the beginning of the weekend, I found out that they're taking my father off chemo. This wasn't good news.

Yesterday, I found out that the prognosis is that he probably has 2-6 months to live.

2006 isn't shaping up to be one of my better years.

I headed off to visit Toronto yesterday, and as always had a delicious time.

Firstly, I had to return some CDs to a friend because I'd borrowed them back in the early summer with the promise I'd have them back "sometime next week". Whoops. Also, I was meeting one of my very best friends, who I hadn't seen in approximately four years, so that was...

remember that velvet revolver that was giving you so much trouble with the DRM? Sony will give you a new one, a 'nother CD for free, plus seven bucks!

Sign up here!

Thanks, man. I'm feeling pretty wary of all my stylebooks now. They have it out for me!

I can't believe it's September. Jacket weather already. This is heartbreaking.

Not much has been going on recently with me. I'm still looking for work, and still grateful that I have the opportunity to be a little picky. I'm trying not to think of how long it's been since I started looking. That first opportunity that came down the pipe, only to slip away while...

Ahhhh hahah love that sign! No no the "That's all folks" was in reference to the very temporary photos I put up for less than an hour. I don't post sets anymore and it was a set I snapped for my hubby.
cathedra:
After reading the full journal this morning upon me waking up i realised you were speaking of the utter hot Jane's Addiction. Funny coincidence i was listening that very album yesterday. Have you heard any of Perry Ferrell's solo stuff? It's pretty decent, but nothing brings back memories of spending hours locked in a dark room (a photograhic one, i'm not being emo - whatever the hell that is) and listeining to Billy Corgan, Perry Ferrell, Courtney Love and those Beastie Boys. Ah those were the days.

I too hate it when they screw up move adaptations of books or new-versions of movies. Who the hell are they to think that what they add to it makes it more filmy. If they wanted to make a filmy film they should have written their own damn material instead of being stupid with someone else's work. *sigh* On that note I must get ready for work, good luck with your job search.

So evidently by "we're comfortable waiting for you to get a passport", what they really meant was "we're comfortable hiring somebody else and not letting you know for two weeks".

Looks like no LA for me after all, which actually really sucks because I had to work through a lot of anxieties about such a big move, and having done that, I really wanted it.

Sadly, no "looking for freedom" also means no "Forever Young".
See how much fun this game is?
