ha!
I stumbled across the coolest thing this morning, a few years ago when Lisa and I were still little pop-music loving lemmings we went and saw Maroon 5, and a band opened for them called Big City Rock, which we had decided we loved based on the fact that the music was fun and a keytar was most certainly involved. Well today I found their myspace page from a series of other myspace pages of bands I had not heard of. I still like them haha. I was wondering where they had gone. It's funny considering all the love myspace bands get but some slip underneath the radar. Heh.
Anyways, I'm off to Edmonton for a week to sell nail polish, as I'm sure many ppl know already. Let me tell you about selling people things though. This world we live in? Yeah, 95% asshats. I swear. For the better part of the Stampede I worked at another booth but near the end I tried the 'Nail Jazz' booth to see if I would like it before I went to Edmonton. So I'm pitching to this one couple and their small daughter...and they are making a big fuss about switching colors in the set for colors in the other set that is sold separately. I say no. They say ask the manager. I tell them the manager will say no as well. They say ask anyway. So i ask and the managing lady doesn't even turn around to see them and just shouts 'absolutely not'. Ha...so then they are like well we just want the white and black. So i show them the french tip set that comes with white, black, a sheen, and a file or something. They are like 'no we want the colors too'. @___@ Ah! I start bending down to reach under the counter and get a colored set for them and the husband or whatever is all, "Oh we don't want this set" gesturing towards the one I was using for demos...well no shit. "We want new one!!" Haha. Gawwwd. Then I gave them wrong change and had to give the till 75 cents to make up the difference at the end of the night. Calculators are my friend.
I bought The Avalanche yesterday and Death Cab's Directions dvd. Craig and I are taking his PS2 to Edmonton with us and were going to hook it up at the hotel and watch iiiiit. yay.
I got a new phone! I feel bad replacing my pink phone but this one is green whee!
okay gotta go pack.
