what a thursday

i had a lot of trouble writing thursday in the title of this post so you better appreciate my effort...that's better.

So let me tell you about this crazy day (and its only 6:45 yikes so much still to do). So it started with an early morning bike home after a post fireworks sleepover (i didn't go to the fireworks...it was too noisy and there were dogs and kids everywhere...but no hills or beach it was too much like home without being home) Then i had breakfast (go me) and cleaned house (how does it get to be such a mess, its just me living there...hmm) then remembered that i had to finish stapling 'a lotta nerve' the CMHA chapbook that my writing group made. So i hightailed it into the office to do some stapling. Then i had to do work (as i was at the office) find a couple articles, finish updating a cv, mail off a manuscript. Before hightailing it back across town to the CMHA for the writing group at 11. I of course didn't plan any work, cause i gave them homework, but none of them did it so i sat there more or less with egg on my face. then one of my authors decided that he likes cliche so he's only going to write in it. [ps don't forget to find some examples of good cliche and bad cliche and talk about why each is good and bad]. After two hours of talking about not much and taking pills i headed home for lunch. I nearly caused and irate driver to get t-boned as he pulled a left hand turn across Giles without looking to see if there was approaching traffic because he was too busy yelling at me for being on the road. (ps there was approaching traffic, and that nearly ended very badly for both of us). Then i continued my ride home for lunch. Had spicy pasta which made me feel bloated (i don't think pasta is going to stay in my diet for much longer, it always makes me feel ill) so i read 50 pages of Dune (a new one). Then i went to campus to do some homework, but ran into danielle, so we chatted, then went to the mall. At the mall she tried on clothes (and bought some without a single fight....amazing) then looked at hmm oh yea zellers for chocolate (for me) and bandaids (for her) then she dropped me off at Chez's to learn about this summer camp which looks/sounds totally wicked, i think im going to go at least for now, im going to do the fundraising at least. Then we started talking about the Critical Mass tomorrow (im super stoaked) which is a cyclists taking over the road party downtown. i'm loving it. then about the millitary coop. now i just dont know how i feel about this. basically highschool kids can now take a paid millitary co-op, in which they receive basic training and join the reserves. hmm. basic training, awesome, learn physical, emotional, mental discipline i think this should be a core part of every curriculum. i know it should be. but join the reserves? i dunno. really its all a part of Harper's ploy to grow the military reserves by 10,000 men (women) and the standing army by 13,000. But this isn't suggested in the rhetoric for this new co-op program, just that kids will be paid (unlike all other co-ops) and be offered summer jobs with the army reserves. hmm. i have to learn more still. but this is a good site if you are curious.

and then i biked back to campus to continue working on my various things that needed work. now im blogging. soon i'll get into my emails (i have to invite all of you to the critical mass). then i have a bit of portfolio work to do, i hope. then back home for dinner prolly around 8. then more reading and around 12:30 to big dicks to celebrate Carol's birthday and find out how the game went today. then home. then tomorrow morning i think laundry and more reading. fun fun! then tomorrow evening is the critical mass. saturday is CANADA DAY (oh i lov you Canada). Then Sunday a bottle drive.

(and i wonder how my life get so full i can barely stand it... huh.)

okay time to go start some other stuff.
