august 30th
so, work, that was today. i was getting in the elavator and a woman who was getting in with me asked " how was your monday?" to which i replied...."a monday" that's all that needs to be said about my day today. today i learned that i can't stand rich bitches that just can't take no for an answer and treat my staff like stupid non-rich peons.

onto more pleasant things, i went for a super duper long power and i stress power, walk with cherie and tyson today. the poor little guy--he was so thirsty when we got home. it was hilarious though, he tried to sprawl out on the kitchen tiles so that as much surface area of his body was on the cool tiles...it was amusing to say the least. we made pizza and went for a bucky's afterwards. it was a good close to a busy day. now i'm waiting for my keo. he works late too much. i look forward to tuesdays when i can just cuddle and unwind with him. i think that's the first day in a few that i feel really unwound is when i unwind with him. good night
august 29th. its money in the bank
after an impromptu shopping spree with erin yesterday i have a new set of rules for the month of september. i can't go shopping for anything but food. i'm not allowed to go out to eat unless someones taking me. i can't rent movies because i have too many dvd's. and lastly, if i eat at home with girlfriends we can't spend more than $20 on extra food. it's just money in the bank baby.

i came home today to find that my sweetie changed the wallpaper on his computer to the cutest picture of us...instant points. i love u joe.

sheryl and i are watching the vma's followed by something--we don't know what at this point, but hopefully it will be remotely interesting. ciao





august 28th. no birthday suits here
mom's birthday marks the close to a too busy month. of course i had plans made for tonight and of course mom and dad changed their plans--which, most definitely always, lead to me changing my plans. i now sit stuffed on the computer typing away watching the lord of the rings cartoon, i'm such a dork.

today was a full day. i had some personal appointments in the morning to attend to. of course i had to pick joe up from ubc. then we watched "open water" yeah! i've been so anxious to watch this movie and i felt so rewarded to watch it today in the company of joey--my head was burried in his neck for the last quarter of the movie which was the most psychologically disturbing. i totally recommend anyone to take the time to watch this movie. it was totally impressive to sit there and watch these creatures swim around these two chum surrounded actors, all the while knowing they were just floating in the water with these creatures with no other protection than a chain mesh suit. just go see it.

i'm off to clean my bedroom now--it's an absolute mess. oink oink, that's how bad i'm getting. adios
august 27th. age makes you weepy
i'm at erin's we just finished watching 13 going on 30. now i know they say you get more emotional as you age but come one--i cried. pathetic quite simply put. now erin and i are picking our asses and flicking it at each other. unfortunately i missed....no details necessary. shakey no longer resides in the hall and seemed not to have redeemed himself atleast not in time... more updates to come





august 24th
i'm off camping--it's not really camping though, apparently we're in a cabin. oh well, it will be a good getaway. erin made me a yummy pancake breakfast this morning and somehow i managed to influence her repertoire of music--so far it's limited to the song from "chorusline" the movie. hopefully it won't be the only thing she sings for the next 3 days.

we're off, only when blair gets here though...he's late. boys, who invited them anyway.
august 14th. movie mania
it has been movie mania for the past 24 hours. last night i caught a movie and dinner with erin. the movie was good, however i found myself constantly dosing off and waking up to erin looking at me or poking/elbowing me. i really only did fall asleep for seconds at a time. we watched the bourne supremacy. it was quite good, don't know which one of the two that they've come out with that i like better. i think i have to try and remember what i watched last night--i have to piece it together--too many sleepy breaks.

watched alien vs. predator today with joe. i'd have to say that i really liked it. i was lost in joes arms all might all movie...i just don't do scary movies that well. anyway, i'm now spending time with him and will probably do a short shop when he goes to work, followed by another round of movies with joe's parents. cheers





august 10th
nothing good to say so i won't say it.
august 8th. imagination and all things contrary
on friday night bekki came over to help me "clean". we cleaned and while we cleaned we were discussing silly stuff. i've come to the realization that imaginations are strictly limited to the things we know nothing factual about or things we have not experienced. so while we constantly strive to know more and more we limit our imaginations and ability to create nonsensicle (is that a word) stories. i miss having the ability to speak freely and innocently about things that i don't really have a vague concept of. the only things that i can speak concretely of in a strictly imaginative tone are religion, occult, and ufo's all these things we haven't really quite developed anything factual about. that sucks, quite simply put. i long to be knowledgable but still have the ability to pretend circumstances are different and stand in awe of the simplest details of life.

fact--i'm beginning to hate it. i would much rather tell myself things are a certain way and just leave it at that. i'm too anxious. i'm too human.





august 7th. symphony of fire no more
last weekend was absolutely amazing. i don't think that i've had 3 days off with nothing to do here in vancouver for a while. tomorrow its brunch at the mergens--i always look forward to that. joe's at work and i find myself just twiddling my thumbs. actually i'm typing on joe's lap top while catching the end of what was formerly known as the symphony of fire.

trum and ryan were supposed to be here so we could watch fireworks from the garden in my building. however, due to an extraordinarilly long wedding i'm still sitting upstairs. i think when they finally come up that maybe we'll go for coffee or desert or something to get me out of this appartment.

the other night i was rudely awakened by a stupid party that was going on on the street at 2:30am. so tempted to call the cops as it was no particular night in vancouver nor was it the weekend. some people's kids...raised in a barn.

cherue's off on a buying trip--i'm holding the fort. it's kinda weird since i've come back from singapore. i've not seen cherie too much, which takes some getting used to. i have on a different note have hung out with erin a lot. i think it may be because blair was away...now he's back. hopefully i will not see any less of erin.

ok, ok, i'm off now. oh, today joe told me that he thought it was cute how i share myself with the world like this...i was was thinking "uh buddy, no one actually reads this...." i snickered, because its true. g'night all
august 5th. honesty
so necessary but so painful





july 31
back in vancouver, made it home safe and sound, no thanks to the kickers who sat behind me on the flight. grrrr, some people's kids. one would think that there would be some sort of effort to be considerate on an international flight that lasts for 11 hours. dratsabs!
i'm off to watch the fireworks with erin and some friends right now. i was going to go to the island this weekend with nanay and bekki, unfortunately that fell through. would have loved to go to the egyptian exhibit in victoria, maybe it will be here again in 10 years.
i've finally been hit by jet lag. not fun at all. i keep falling asleep at 8 in the evening and fall out of bed at 8 in the morning. this needs to stop.
mom and dad are in hawaii right now, can't quite figure out where niven and candi are. i'm glad to be home, tyson is here, JOE is here...yeah! i did miss my other friends too...i hate and love shopping for gifts. i spent a whole day looking for a stupid japanese character that adele doesn't even know about it. i thought that it was anything but hamtaro...but in fact it was hamtaro...curses!
i've slipped back into normal life here. work as usual. i missed it tons. i missed cherie and the girls too. ok i'm off
july 28.leaving on a jet plane
so off i go back to vancouver. yeah! i miss home dreadrully. i know that it's nice to be away, but it's also nice to sleep in ones own bed. for the next 24hours i will be challenged to sleep when i'm not tired and not sleep when i feel like i have to peel my eyelids open. drat! i can't be jet lagged upon my return as i have to work a 10 hour day--made a deal in order to have long weekend off.

miss joe, miss tyson...oh yeah and everyone else too. well until i enter something in here again, i bid you all adieu





july 27
this it my last day to run around and do some erands here in singapore--and run errands i did. i woke up early after a late night of plucking away at this webpage. there's something to be said for dentists who charge a examination fee even though they do nothing but start in on your mouth with the cleaning instruments...dirty rotten...why i mean it was a great deal. then it was time for shopping shopping shopping. i'm shopped out. my bags are a-ok however could use more soft stuff to pad the bags with. i'm heading in early to the airport tomorrow so i can attempt to acquire the emergency exit seating--there's nothing like unrestricted leg room on an international flight. apparently during my 6 hour layover in taipei i get to check into the airport hotel--i'll keep you posted.

decided that i was in singapore for more than seeing my grandfather or on vacation.

i'm going to bed now. oh! by the way, i caught a cold while here in singapore--a feat that only i could achieve. i'd like to think that it's because of the air conditioning, but i could be my late nights plugging away at this silly cpu. goodnight. goodnight keo love you.
