Tonight, I drink!
tonight I forget about the illness of the last few weeks.

tomorrow I wrench!
tomorrow I fix the dreams of a fast car one bolt at a time

just got back from Edmonton to visit my buddy in the Hospital.

dude is getting 10 mill doses of morphine every 4-5 hours and some 4-6 mill boosters in between.

he can only stand to sleep for 20 minutes at a time so my other buddy and I kept him company throughout the nights during the weekend playing Risk and PS2

GAWD I'm sooo tired!!!...

Inoperable cancer: Terminal.

Docs gave my 28 year old friend months to live.

he now needs morphine drip to ease his pain.

I wish we could take him on a vacation somewhere but he is now tied down to hospitals. I wish we could even take him out and get him drunk like we used to... but he is still stuck to his morphine drip...

Igot free sushi yesterday because a girl I work with just asked for it. Then she actually went in and said not to bring any with fish and they brought us two big packages of it. No yam tampura though, wtf?

turns out his sister is a naturopath specializing in "body talk" communicating to your various organs and getting them to...

My buddy who lives 8 hours away was complaining about not...

I finally get my car running without fear of it falling apart and now I'm seriously considering buying another car that has a blown motor in it.

I've neglected my housework pouring all my spare time into my car. plans for summer were to put decking material (duradeck) on my balcony, paint my fence, prune trees, put down some railway ties to hold back gravel...

nothing really worth posting. I just saw over the hedge at the cheap theatre and loved it!

here's a worthy find worth sharing.

hours and hours of music vids and the one I keep coming back to over and over is Aha - Take on me

Can I ever work on my car and not end up having to fix 3 other things??

The internet never ceases to amaze me.
I've never seen any music videos the Smashing Pumpkins made for their Gish CD... in fact I never thought they existed.
I guess I'm not a big enough fan.

I could take you in that battle I bet. I am small, but I can eat a lot of sushi. I am vegetarian though so I have a lot less to choose from.

Give me a call if you are around though, I should be around this weekend

We're going to get one of those dumpsters so we can just pull the carpet out and throw it in there. I already picked out my paint colors and bought them today.
