me complain?

I am not going to complain about the heat. I'm not. I may be melting, but after the crap weather on the may 24th long weekend, I welcome the warmth! Just wish some of this excess fat would melt off!

What I am going to complain about is the TTC. You know, the only public transit system taht went on strike today without giving us fair warning... you know.. those idiots!!! I understand why their reasons for going on strike, but don't feel there actions made sense. There were other venues they could have taken to air their greivances. Not put 700,000 commuters in a bind. Fortunately I have a decent and understanding boss who told me it was ok just to stay at home for the day.

I do have to say that I did get quite a bit done. I am making progress on a short story I am writing for a submission, some paperwork out of the way, got the new issue of shebytches.com up in record time and am progressing on the book I am reading. 'The Jazz Age' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I don't remember the last time I was able to just sit back and read for a few hours, in my back yard, listening to the birds.

Back to the 9 to 5 tomorrow, which I hope will soon turn into me sitting at home and writing and getting paid for it.

I want a do over...

Ask me if I am depressed and bitter about the crappy weather over the long weekend!!! No really go ahead and ask me... I woke up this morning and looked out at sunshine... the forecast is predicting warm sunny days... today at lunch I didn't need my jacket... WHY COULDN'T the weekend have been that way... hmmm... hmmm.

NO, no... it had to be crap. Yes I was busy working on my portfolio for a good chunk of it.. but Sunday decided I would spend the afternoon out. The only day I could really and what happened... CRAPPY weather... It was cold and wet and CRAP! Oh the weather people are predicting a long, hot, dry summer, could it have not started on the long weekend... How come the Americans get perfect weather for their upcoming Memorial Day weekend... why...WHY???

What was accomplished, seeing as I was stuck inside... well let me see...
Portfolio is 80% done.
House is tidy
Planted some herbs
I spend some quality time with spiders in my basement office...
I defiantly BBQ'ed last night in the freezing cold!

Not accomplished...
Yard work
Planting in my garden
Getting some much needed sun.. I glow in the dark currently...
Sitting on my front porch drinking wine
Having dinner outside on the deck

I say we should get a do over... we should be able to have this coming Monday off as well!

obsession or infactuation

It's official! I have a new obsession. myspace.com. I have set Shebytches up with a myspace.com/shebytches space to post our events and because we are having things happen on a daily basis latetly it seems, it is a fab way to keep everyone up todate! I have become obsessed with it though. There are many cool indie artists and writers and it's such an amazing tool for networking!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

It's been nutso the last few days... hence the me not posting. Weekend vanished on me. Sat was busy nuts and Sunday I helped Di out at the clothing show. I was mostly disappointed with the selection of vendors. It was either the same old or the new ones weren't very impressive. The ones that always blow me away are Nathalie-Roze (who was in a booth with Smitten Kitten (uber cute), Play Dead (Bean and the team always have the coolest clothes there), Moonrox, Domistyle, Joaned, Steen and of course my girl Di at Flyballbags.com. Otherwise.. not really impressed.

And V, incase you get to log on while you are in Cuba.. the cats and I are making progress on our plan....

ever wonder....

Do you ever wonder what is real and what is fake. Every day I wonder. I see women with fake everything (faces, lips, breasts, etc), men with fake personalities, celebrities that are well just fake... ok... this could be a really long fake out.. so what point am I trying to make here, well I signed us up for myspace.com/shebytches to post our events etc. and in the process of getting us all set, up I came across two profiles of two supposed celebrities... so I began to wonder..

... could these be posers... both are quite huge stars, one of the two set up their myspace about 3 years ago the other recently... both had accurate information and one (a male) had a bunch of half naked people commenting... which doesn't surprise me.. but... are these really real.

One has to wonder.

One of the two also had the worst written english on the face of the earth. I wonder if they know kids are probably checking their page out. Yes am being anal, but alot of these kids look up to this person and if they see how that person writes they will think it is ok for them as well.

So I continue to wonder... what is real and what isn't

dead like me...

*sigh* once again I have taken the time to relax and watch a bit of TV.... once again I have discovered an awesome show that is no longer on TV...

Dead Like Me... biting, dark, hysterical!!! and only lasted for two seasons... why, Why WHY!!! The idea is beyond fantastic, the cast is amazing, the story lines supurb... why cancel it... Idiots!!!
