SUP ALL!?

So i feel the ever growing need to start this bitch of a forgotten blog up again. Mostly because I'm a horrible person/friend that cannot be trusted to reply to emails and keep in touch with long distance posse members. Although, i will offer a lame attempt at an excuse. I have been working at my old prestigouse job serving coffee to complete assholes (and of late, drunken fratboi oilerfans and there prostitute lookalike gf's...GO OILERS!!!) as well as for the last few months, working full time for Museums and Collections Services (MaCS) of the University of Alberta (marginally more glamourus/interesting than coffee-whore). So, more often than not I've had 60-70 hour weeks. And the only reason I put up with it was beacause the uni position was intially supposed to be a one month contract, then extended to two, and then extended till whenever i need to move. So now i will be leaving my barista days behind me which is actually kinda sad...
In other news, i have become one of those annoying yoga people who talks about it too much...really its life fantastic....so i am excited to get rid of my job and make room for more yoga, reading and dinner partys. I have recently started cooking. Or at least trying to really cook. I went to the same vegan potluck as kasia and after having an anxiety attack in organic roots grociery store (people forget that potlucks are a competitive ordeal in ukrainian families) we managed to throw together (a team effort along side the wonderful Anders and Krystin and wine and beer for inspiration) three vegan courses: a medly of oven roasted organic sweet potatoes, yams, and potatoes seasoned with rosemary, Anders' couscous that was amazing, and some steamed asparagus with celery seed and lemon. clearly we won. (note: Anders is the boy that was worth fitting on my plate despite my declaration to remain single post iceland....that never works )
Curently i am in toronto on a rainy day awaiting news about the offer i made on a rediculously fancy condo downown. That brings me to the most substantial news i have for those of you i shamefully havent got around to ringing/emailing...(ahem jeremy in seattle, oli/brad/cam in iceland, rob in england, mandy, etc, etc, etc.) . Thats right...my days as a corn fed alberta are numberd. which is good cuz i cant remember the last time i had corn. I am movin' to the tdot to do ma' masters!!!! exciting and scary.
So ya, ive been killing the day waiting for news. So like anyone the best i could come up with is underwear shoppin'. I have realized that shopping for underwear while away from your boyfriend is like grocerie shopping after missing supper.
suddenly mesh, zippers, leather seem like a possibility. But not to worrie...i pulled back and got some good ol' microfiber trunk cut pointo blanco's
but yeah...the main point to this post was to resurrect my old blog. It well play an important role in keeping you folks updated with all the bullshit you dont care about
...and ps- here is a pic of the building where i hope to be living come sept...and yes im a spoiled piece of shit and am ashamed. it is next door to ryan's (jer's bf) old building

PSS- once i move to toronto permanently...all my friends are expected to visit me before the one year mark or you are cut! no excuses barring identity theft, bankrupcy, or multiple births!
PSSS- I forgot to say...i got my ears pierced at 8g....metal ones in there now but gonna swithc to wood soon. cant wait...will post a pic soon
peace out
