Finally, today, I went to look at the apartment on the third floor in that building I looked at earlier this month. Except, there isn't one available on the third floor anymore, for some reason. Maybe someone else rented it, maybe the current tenant(s) decided to renew the lease, or maybe the landlord is just an idiot and doesn't know what he's talking about. Either...

Well, the camping trip was okay. I mean, it was fun, but we forgot to bring certain things, and certain things could have been done better, but now we know for next time. And, next time, I think we'll go to the mountains (Jasper, probably). Depending on whether or not Ashley gets her surgery in the next couple of weeks, we might have to stay...

It's not enough work for me to quit my day job just yet, but it's a start.

New books!

- Douglas Coupland's jPod
- Leonard Cohen's Book of Longing
- Jon Stewart's Naked Pictures of Famous People

Combine these with the numerous books I haven't yet read from the last time I went on a book buying binge, and I've got a summer of damn good reading lined...

The "L-word" is being tossed around like it's going out of style. The funny thing is, we mean it. Well, I mean it. And, I assume she means it too since she said it first.

It seems like it's happening WAAAY too fast, but, I'm happy. I was kind of terrified for a brief period of time, but now I'm just really happy.

I have only this to say: Gnarls Barkley is much better than what I thought it would be. Different than I expected, but better.
