The Skinny
|
...life in small Northern towns, working for assholes, boys who refuse to become men, synthetic personalities, anorexic models and their link to emotional scarring, bad marijuana trips, crazies on BC Transit, beer, piece of shit cars, living out of a suitcase paycheck to paycheck, unrequited love, Seinfeld, minimum-wage jobs, broken New Year�s resolutions, and over-limit Visa accounts.

"Look out, you bungling idiot!!!"... ... shouted the woman with the crazy, frizzed hair that I nearly backed over today, after she released a very dramatic, blood-curdling scream. I swear I looked behind me... where the hell did she come from? Pedestrians... they're everywhere down here. And I hate them - but only when I'm behind the wheel. When I am one, I hate the drivers. It's one of the many double-standards that I like to employ. I know it's a weak defense, but I was very excited, which may have clouded my driving capabilities somewhat. I had just come from viewing a fabulous character apartment in one of Vancouver's beautiful MONSTER heritage homes, and may not have been driving to the best of my abilities, or even paying that much attention. Yeah, it's a beautiful apartment, but in true Vancouver fashion, it comes with a hefty price tag... $1,450 to be exact. But it's got so much character - REAL hardwood floors, mouldings, big windows... ahhh. It's about $500 more than I could spend without feeling pretty fecking skint though, so gonna have to let it slide. DAMNIT! Not much else new to report... don't have any plans for the weekend, other than trying to get a few viewings in. Oh, and I promised my roommate/landlord that I'd do some long-overdue cleaning this weekend. But right now, I think it's time for lunch and a nap. Look out Carrie Bradshaw... there's a new Sex and the City gang now! Ha. Right. More like Sex-less in the City. Sigh. Only another 41 days, and then it's BOM CHICKABOW-WOW time for this bungling idiot. Hopefully I'm better at that than driving... |
