Grrr taxes. Grrr government.
Cupcakes make everything better.
Originally uploaded by cliobablio Man, the more money you make the more you have to fight with the government to keep any of it. It's effin' ridiculous. Where do those druggies get their money? I guess they go with the "why bother" mentality. Yesterday's walk to work had the most scary meth heads I had seen to date.
Today I checked up on how my application to get my citizenship card replaced was going (it was stolen the first day of March), and the website said that it would take five months. FIVE MONTHS. That's already in addition to the six weeks I had to wait to get my health card so that I could even apply for it. Now I have to go without a driver's license until the end of time. Jeezus!!!
My full-time job's finishing at the end of next month and I am very looking forward to some time off! In the meantime I took on more work just to stress myself out more. Rewriting Cascadia has been loads of fun and I am now one of those jerks who pecks away on their laptop in cafes. The only cafe near here is a Starbucks, and I couldn't believe how disgusting their pastries were! Maybe it's because I'm baking a lot myself now and learned some standards, but I don't know how I used to be able to stomach (and even like) their goods. Will be sticking to the plain, tasteless green tea, thanks. This Starbucks is full of old, handicapped people and Chinese immigrant families dressed in flood pants that drag their screeching, red-faced, nose-running, buzz-cut kids in to order themselves espressos. And a giant mocha squishee for their kid. I really don't know how that works....
Er,
Two pieces for Nucleus' girl show next month. One of my directors, Rob, caught me sketching the deer at work, snatched it out of my hand, mumbled "guh booby deer women bleah," and then walked off.
Apparently he never draws girls, just little kids and cats. Naked hairless cats.
I hate this one now so it's just going on the internet.
And some dudes from around Vancouver - purple top was from Metrotown and male souffle was working as a cook in a diner on Commercial. Bleagh!!
I guess they are kind of cute in a disapproving sort of way.
That's all from me for now.
This guy needs to be locked in a moldy old cellar somewhere... for a billion years.
