Holy hell, I'm on-line!!!
Yes, that's right folks...I finally obtained a computer & had internet installed at home for the first time ever! The guy who came to install it kept saying that he recognized me from somewhere, told me he lives on Cumming Street, joked around about how my dog was "sniffing his bag", then when I unsuccessfully asked him for a ride downtown to work, he said that's a code word with him & his friends: "going downtown"...sex-related I would assume! He kept apologizing for being unprofessional...obviously he doesn't know me, and that I could care less...lol.
So the last couple weeks of August were fun holidays for me...I went up north twice, the first time to Killbear Provincial Park with Paul & Adam, where I saw a deer up close & chased around a woodpecker. They went fishing & we drove to Parry Sound a few times, walked to the end of the pier there, but unfortunately we didn't have enough cash to ride the Island Queen Cruise :( The cop pulling me over on the way home was a completely other story, that I'd like to forget!
I came back to work for a few days, then went back up north to Leigh's cottage. We all went to the golf course one day...I didn't golf, I was just the flag girl, lol...but we all got bitten alive by mosquitoes, it was horrendous (even though we drank away the pain with copious amounts of alcohol on Leigh's dock)...then I find out that West Nile is alive & well in that area...great!!! I stayed my last night at Irene's house up north, stopped on the way back at CasinoRama to drop $70, then visited my brother in Richmond Hill. Mark took me for an awesome ride on his motorbike, then cooked me a fantastic meal ;D
Unfortunately this was the first year that I didn't get to the Horror Convention (I can't believe that I missed meeting Jeffrey Coombs of Re-Animator) due to lack of funds, and I can't go to Gigantour this year for the same reason...but that's ok, because I just saw Rob Zombie & Godsmack, and also am going to soon see The Genitorturers again, and Hansel Und Gretyl play with DEFENCE MECHANISM at the Funhaus on October 15th! That will be killer!!
We said an official goodbye to ChrissyPants at Rumours and his BBQ, who is moving back to Colorado shortly. We'll miss that dude.
Red Square's business is picking up too, and I am really enjoying the new Saturday nights ;)
