Nothing interesting has been happening to me lately.
NOTHING!

Work today was okay. We started to play "I Spy," but
Chris got mad when I spied his beard (subtle insult) 
and refused to continue. Talked to Pete after work. He
thought I was from Comox!!

Today I electrocuted myself -- well my thumb -- while
cleaning the neon A+W sign. Tip: When cleaning neon
signs, A+W or otherwise, and you are using a wet cloth,
un-plug the sign first.

Life is an abysmal hell.

Today I got to wear a finger condom! It such a thrill-
ing experience. I'd cut my index finger -- uh, blood, 
everywhere! -- and so I had to put on a band-aid, and
then I saw a finger condom in the first aid kit next to
the band-aids, so I put one on. Gnyeh! That's how I
felt when I wore it, kind of a clammy gnyeh feel. Then
I made it into a water balloon, and we played baseball
with it beside the grill.

I am learning how to play drums. Sort of. I have had
one lesson so far, and am a pathetically slow learner. 
But it's fun. I can do one "rhythm" now (I think that's
what it's called), it is where I hit the bass drum with
my foot, and also the one by my left hand, and then
I hit the one right in front of me at the same time
as the one on my left hand.

Tonight's big social event was shopping at Costco. I
bought blueberry muffins.

My life is just peachy keen right now, but both my 
roommates are deathly ill with the flu. If I catch it
from them my life is over.

Today at work my boss said something sarcastic to me 
about not working hard enough. I knew she was joking;
we get along pretty well. But one of the customers 
heard, and he just blew up. He yelled at the top of his
lungs, "GET OFF HER BACK!" I was so touched and honour-
ed! It was cool.

Last night I met Mike Bullard. I am not a particularly
big fan, but I went with Matt and Trev, who are like
diehard Mike Bullard obsessors. They both bought his
book and he signed them, and they CHATTED, it was cool.
I wound up in a picture taken with him. Weird night ...

A big hello to KIRSTEN, who is visiting my page for the
first time today ... If she can find it, that is ... I
love you, babe!

Last night Lisa and I ran a red light -- on foot -- and
were nearly killed. It was pretty trippy. Then today I
was talking to my boss and apparently he was one of 
the guys who almost hit us.

We are in the midst of a ketchup catastrophe. There's
only about three quarters of an inch left in the bot-
tle, and we're not going shopping till Sunday! I may 
just have to steal some ketchup packets from work. I'll
keep you posted on that one.

Last night I had one and a half hours sleep -- on the
floor -- and then worked an 8-hour shift. Who's da man!

My roommate Lisa is a bad, bad person! Here is the 
story. Tonight we were shopping, and I saw some Glade
refills I needed. The box was closed, so I opened it
up to inspect the cartridges. Then I looked at another
scent, and Lisa opened that one up for me. "I've never
done this before," she whispered. "I didn't know you 
were allowed." Anyhow, we bought the Glade, then moved
on to the grocery store. Lisa saw some flavoured coffee
in one aisle, and what did she do but POP OPEN THE PRO-
TECTIVE SEAL! "What are you DOING?" I screamed in a 
whisper, and she said, "What, what, I thought it was 
okay!" And then she didn't even buy the coffee. BUT,
later, when we were at the check-out paying for our
stuff, she found that the seal on her pickles had been
broken. She made them get her another one. I can only
hope and pray that surveilance cameras didn't pick up
on this.
