As I'm the one who takes our little girl to daycare in the morning, I'm realising more and more that choosing her outfits are one of the highlights of my day. Especially, when she chooses a shirt or dress that I have to build around.

Never, never get into a heated discussion about the construction of nationalism or of imagined communities with a Serb - even when they are a friend.

Word for the day: casus belli

As in: It's not particularly smart to discuss the casus belli of the Bosnian or Kosvar conflagrations with that same Serb - no matter what the merits of, or lack of bias in...

My brother died two years ago today - it's little wonder I had vivid dreams about him last night, and stumbled across old photos of us today. He lived pretty full-on, and would much rather have those who were close to him celebrate, rather than mourn his self-induced passing.

On a more daily, and seemingly mundane level...

I have a midterm exam tonight; it's on...

Great night out last night with a few SG's from Ottawa. Jericho is on his way out of town at the end of the month, so next rendez-vous let's hope a few more come out.

Went and checked out FiveTwo tattoo - where Twwly and um.. FiveTwo... are at. Very nice. I'm going to have to work out some ideas and go back.

Bought a...

Oh, I had quite a bit more than one, let me tell you! Best Canada Day ever. I'm gonna change the pic as soon as I make it over to a friend's house. He's got all my pics on his computer.

Cheers!

Ah well Misery's arriving pretty late Friday, so I don't know if we'll get a change to go for drinks! I'd hate to plan something then she and I not show up. tongue

I'm back from T.O. I got off the train, went out drinking with some friends, I find myself hungover once again.frown

Toronto was good - but way too hot last week. I went out with an ex, whom I hadn't seen in over 10 years. It was amazing. Lots of cathing up, talking about mutual friends, etc. I think we're going to stay in touch....

Summer classes start today! Finally.

Have some work in Toronto - so I'm headed that way for a week. Finally.

I've scored some work at the National Archives, here in Ottawa, which I start when I get back. Finally.

Now if only I could shake off this hangover.
bombshellbetty:
Yay for summer classes! And congrats on the new job. smile

Cheers to you GA! Good luck with the job.....I am busy, busy - very nice weather here! On July 4 the bars will open until 4am.......aarghh!

Ha! Well, I hung around Cafe Alt quite a bit during school, and I happen to have a good buddy named Lindsay there as well... so, yes, that would have been me.

I'm not sure I recognize you - but then again, that lil fuzzy picture is not much to go on. wink

Oh, and I'm taking Computer Science. I've always found the alt more appealing than the SITE building, though. Have you been there? Fucking McDonald's playhouse. puke

If you see me around, say hallo. smile

Well, here's a first for me: I'm overqualified for the job for which I applied! I'm not happy about it.

I had notion this may happen at the inerview; they informed then that the position was less research and analysis oriented then I had been led to believe. Turns out the position was clerical - something like 1400 files had been misfiled when the department...

New week's begun and I'm very tired. The weekend wasn't all that crazy, but I guess I'm still feeling it's effects.

Still waiting to hear if I got the job with the Modern War Crimes Unit; I'll be peeved if don't, but then again, one shouldn't ever raise their hopes to high on things which one has little control. I gave a good interview and...

Ah, well then we go to school together. smile What program are you doing?

Haha, yes the Ottawa night life is pretty lame. There are some great martini type bars, but they're far too posh (read- expensive) for me. Mostly I stick with nice little pubs or the Dominion. I don't feel the lack of night life much though.. I've been in Ottawa all my life, so I'm used to it. whatever

How are you doing brother! It might be hot here again this week - hopefully.......Did you get the job? The legion hall downtown got shut down due to rules with overcrowding and ancient laws that have to do within all veterans halls in BC - weird.....

I missed my regular entry yesterday; I had to attend a funeral. Two very close friends of mine lost their father quite suddenly - definitely tragic.

Having lost my brother two years ago, it was certainly a day of some reflection.

Therefore, Day 4's thoughts are on death and dying:

good times.... good times....

Yes, I'm very excited about my upcoming move. Too bad it's still 3 weeks away frown

I'm so sorry about your grandmother. My homage to my favorite Grandmother, who passed on about 8 years ago, and I still miss her, is going to be a small part of a larger tattoo. She loved gardening and had a thing for African violets, so I'm going to have a small Dia de los Muertos style skull in the middle of an African violet flower amidst other flowers in the larger tattoo. I am also going to incorporate her name, but I'm not sure how I'll do it. The whole tattoo is a symbolic reference to my ideas about life and death, and I think it will incorporate seamlessly.

Yeah I know exactly what I want for my tattoos, but I can't draw very well. I drew out part of one, but I'm just gonna have to meet up with someone really good and explain exactly what I want to them. I'll bring examples, so it should work pretty well. I'm getting the outsides of both legs done. My right leg will be about my feelings on life and death, and my left leg will be about the mutable nature of reality.

Whew! Sorry about the rambling, I just get excited.
