I hate to do another "In a Nutshell" entry but once again I've been struggling to find the time to write something substantial. So kiddies, this was my week:
1) Witnessed the aftermath of a crime scene in a local mall. Police tape all over the place. Got a clear birds eye view of a giant pool of blood. There was man's winter jacket and a few other articles of clothing swimming in the blood. Normally the sight of blood doesn't bother me, but this really scared the fuck right out of me. And it made me feel physically ill.
2) Shortly after, I met my best friend for a fabulous East Indian meal at one of our favorite T.dot restaurants. I forced myself to block out the ghastly sight I observed just minutes before.
3) I survived the five-day stretch with the old-school rocker burn-out colleague. She phoned me in a tizzy Friday morning crying cuz she had been up all night puking due to suspected food poisioning, and was awaiting a ride to the hospital. I, knowing far better, figured she got wasted when she went for a late lunch with a friend, and was just to embarassed to tell me. Her partner who doesn't know me from a hole in the ground, phoned me later to see if she was at work, but he had no idea where she was. She told me she tried contacting him. He told me he hadn't heard from her at all. When I told him about her phone call earlier that day, he flat out stated "that wasn't food poisoning, that was alcohol poisoning!" Sigh...now HE'S telling me all about thier personal bullshit.
4) Stayed in Friday night and chatted with a couple of friends. It took me to 2.5 hours to prepare a coconut curry chicken dish from scratch, I used a real coconut instead of the dessicated, packaged stuff because I was super ambitious. I was also super naiive to think I could prepare it with expertise. I tried following instructions that I downloaded from the internet on how to properly crack a coconut open. Whack with the back of a cleaver my ass! After several minutes of relatively-controlled smacking against various surfaces, I finally got fed up, walked onto my balcony, brought my hands up as far into the air as they could go, then delivered the little hard bundle of hariness to it's untimely and violent demise. Yes folks, I smashed my coconut open. If you can think of a better way to crack one open, IT"S TOO BLOODY LATE NOW!
5) Went into work yesterday which is normally my day off. One of our satellite broadcasts got fucked up and audience of potentially 10, 000 people missed the first few minutes of the show, because my boss is a total moron who forgets to do things, then blames everyone else when things go wrong, including me.
6) Went out last night with a bunch of people to a couple of different bars. Ended up at Mod Club later. Some drunk and or stupid cross-eyed bastard who was dancing on stage happened to accidentally fall off. I happened to be dancing directly beneath him. When his flailing body came crashing down on mine our heads butted very motherfucking hard together, and let me tell you, IT HURT!!! My head pounded for the rest of the night, but I was laughing it off by the time I got home. I imagine it was pretty funny to watch.
7) Stayed in tonight, chatted with mommy and other friends.
In the week to come I will be :
1) Continuing to work on the mystery goal. Keep those prayers coming people!
2) Attending my first class at Anarchist U tomorrow. AU is a non-profit, anarchist oriented collective which provides free classes for people interested in politics, sociology, history, literature from a left-leaning perspective. Since I graduated university almost three years ago, I feel like my brain has stagnated, and I really miss learning things in a classroom environment. The course I'm taking is Theories in Carnival and Revolution, and it's explorers the ways in which the notion of carnival is used to promote social change. I'm really looking forward to this discussion group, it will be a great way to meet new people and to engage in academic conversation. YAY!
3) Meeting a different friend for Thai dinner this Tuesday. I haven't seen in her over three months, so this date is long over due.
4) Will be heading home on the week-end to attend a university friend's birthday party. Ahhh, my home-town homies. I can't wait to see them again!
5) I start indoor climbing lessons the following week as a promise to myself to get my gradually expanding buttocks into shape again. It's going to be a bit difficult at first, but at least there's an objective to it. I've tried going back to a regular gym, and I simply cannot stand it. I just find one hour on a treadmill or elipitical trainer very pointless and boring, it's far too monotonous. So climbing walls it is!
I hope all of you have a good week!
