Well, my boss decided in lieu of the store being right smack dab between the "designated protest zone" and the security fence that we are not going to be open this weekend. This means 3 things 1) I'll be extra broke next week as the G20 just fucked me out of $150... 2) I can actually attend protests and general bedlam that will be happening 3) I was gifted a bit of extra time to work on my thesis, which I need, because Pride is next weekend, party!!!
G20... thesis draft.... Pride. God have MERCY ON ME. Cara lost 2 whole days of her memory lastyear during Pride... and Keegs and Paul are having their joint birthday at I believe Crews and Tango (which is this drag bar in the village) and I promised them that I would go. It is my birthday gift to them. This means I also need to work hard so as not to get thrown in protester jail on the weekend. It's close to my house, but I hear there is no running water in there. Fucking conservative government.
Oh, and there was an earthquake in Toronto today. That was a first.
BACK TO THE THESIS. Time to lock this fucker DOWN. I got my committee member yesterday, and it was my first choice... a lovely and wonderful prof I had from my first year at Grad School, and a vegetarian to boot! YES. Finally. Things appear to be on the upswing! Now, to find homes for two of these kitties that I have here, get my shit together, start my summer yoga practice (for real this time) and then get my ass to the West Coast. Once the July 5th hump passes, I think it is safe to say, it's alllll ddooowwnnnhillll from here. *knocks wood*
Also, Justine sent me the BEST mail in the history of the world. It was a little plastic horse. This may not seem amazing at first, but I always say referring to my life these past 6 months "With all this shit, there has to be a pony in here somewhere" ... and she sent me A FUCKING PONY. This is why I am head-over-heals in love with Justine.
ok, this was going to be a quick update and already, it has gone too long. BACK TO THE THESIS. Freedom. I can taste it!
