Well, I've been up since about 3:30 this morning with a teething baby, so this whole evil-day-thing is starting off with a bang! The good news is that it should end well- even though my wedding anniversary is on New Years Eve, The Wife and I pushed back our plans so that we could really do it right. So tonight, I'm dropping the niño off at my mom's for the night, taking The Wife to a really nice dinner, and then spending the rest of the partying like rock stars! And by "partying like rock stars", I of course mean coming back home, drinking ALL THE RED WINE, and playing non-stop-all-night marathons of co-ed-butt-naked-lego-harry-potter. Game on!
I'm buying a house and I can't decide if it's the most stressful time in my life or the most exciting. It certainly gives me an excuse to crack a beer most nights.
Not one snowflake since weeks. It's been 40-50 F here all winter long, which feels kind of weird since it could very well be autumn if you look out of the window, but I'm glad. Normally I wouldn't be able to ride my bicycle anywhere without having to fear for my life, because this fucking city doesn't clear the roads when it snows and there are large chunks of ice hidden everywhere.
Yup, and I'm hoping for a little accumulation. The mini-me's are dying to try out thier new sleds (and since they have a 250lb capacity, so am I).
I started classes this week, so I get to spend my weekend reading about educational philosophers and choosing three that really "speak to me". Then I have to decide on one that I will be studying for the rest of the semester. I'm only taking two classes this semester, but they're both from professors who think the world revolves around their class.
Is anyone else watching the Today Show? It is the 60th anniversary of the show, and they had all the living anchors on together. Willard Scott kissed Bryant Gumble on the lips. This is the craziest moment of morning TV ever.
My drive to work today went from a brisk twenty-minute jaunt to a one-hour-and-forty-five-fucking-minute crawl, all because of a little snow. Half the damn city drives 4-wheel-drive SUVs, and they all drive them like retarded morons. I have a RWD Mustang with all-season tires and I had NO trouble with the snow. These fuckers with their brand new Blizzards were creeping around the corners at a whopping 2 kph. Jesus.
OH thank FUCKING God for this Drunk Thread. I can't believe I just had to go 3 days posting in threads with focuses and intelligent discourse. What the fuck were we thinking? Absolutely insane. Got in at 9:30 today, leaving at 12:00 for an office lunch consisting of Scallops wrapped in you know fucking what...BACON. So excited. Well I have to come back and shoot a short movie scene with the hottest cougar in the office. Happy Friday Bitches.
In Minnesota, you get this: for the same price that I'm buying this: Life in Toronto fucking sucks sometimes.

We finally got cable after 4 months because I had to build credit first (all of 18 channels, hooray) and it doesn't work. It is over broadband, and the picture lasts about 2 seconds before freezing. I am pissed. I need my TV, I can't talk to this woman here with me.
Ahh, buying a house. I recall it fondly, but (as I said in my rep) I had an awesome realtor, so our buying experience was fairly painless. Now that we have the house, it is all the other stuff that is stressful, especially since we've set ourselves a deadline (before the baby is born in late March to early April) to get a LOT of stuff done around here. So far this week, I have painted two rooms (with a 3rd to go), tiled the bathroom, have to lay out the grout tomorrow, had a lengthy meeting with some painters about our living room/kitchen/hallway, cleaned out the den and the baby's room, put together a new closet organizer for the baby's room, cleaned the place top to bottom, and either got rid of a lot of junk or put it in our junk rooms to go through later. Oh, and I have to go through and patch all the many, many, many holes in the wall from the previous owner, who apparently hung stuff on the walls like this place is a fucking TGI Fridays. I also need to get around to painting the master bathroom, and touching up the master bedroom. This weekend and next week is even more work, as we have to get these rooms done before the baby gets here, because after she comes, free time (and spare money) to get this crap done will officially be a thing of the past. Oh, and the furniture for the guest bedroom is being delivered this coming Thursday, which is a good week before it will be finished, which was just awesome timing on my wife's part. Getting the house together before the kid arrives has become my full time job. Oh, and along the lines of snow, we got about 6 inches here, so I went out with the snow thrower today. The awesome part? No matter which direction I aimed it, that snow went in one direction: right back in my face. I looked like a walking snowman by the time I was done.
Do you ever get drunk and emotional when you realize you've seen every cover of Riskay's Smell Yo Dick on youtube? I feel like I've witnessed the peak of human creativity and it's all down hill from here.
Aaaaaand the CRM system is down. Fan fucking tastic. I used Salesforce in my previous job and miss it. You should get outside more often.
Motherfucker I've been playing pool volleyball from 6 - 11pm. With cocktails. And bourbon. You can do that when its 35 deg outside. You know what's not outside? Some motherfucking 2004 Grace Park. My God.
Tell me about it. We bought our first house, had buyer's remorse (well, one of us did), and were out of it and in our second house in 6 months. It was one of the most stressful times of my life. I still miss that house sometimes.
