Plans for the Weekend

Thu, 2006/04/13 - 1:12pm
For the first time in years I have both Good Friday and Easter Monday off (union job). I intend to take my camera to Blender tonight. Considering I am normally confined to the photo area when I am at Club 23 West it will be fun to get pictures showing the space, although my heels are currently swiss cheese from new-shoe-itis, so I may not be inclined to be on them much.

Ode to <lj user="tharsis"> in Honour of his Birthday

His claws are long and his fangs are fearsome

— Even mighty squirrels won't come near him.

The survey says (and we agree)

That weiner dogs best let him be.


So that's what customer service smells like.

This morning on the SkyTrain I couldn't help overhearing a woman complaining about her job. In fact people on the next car probably couldn't help overhearing her. She was clearly speaking for the benefit of her captive audience of trapped commuters. She had the suburban Vancouver area accent - a blend of an American accent picked up from learning English from the television and slow-speaking rural stoner. Just from the sound of her voice you could tell she was fifty pounds overweight and fifteen years out of style.


*kick*

Now I get to kick myself. Last week was the Port Moody Arts Festival and I knew that there were going to be art cars at the arts centre yesterday. I had thought about coming out with my camera but figured they would only be the few local art cars and it wouldn't be worth dragging my hung-over ass out on Sunday transit.

FedEx express? So that's Federal Express express then?

The world gets dumber every day.
