A few More.....
I took this photo for Mike because this tree right near our flat looks just like an Elephant!!!!! I think of him every time I pass it!
I went to the March on Poverty rally and intended on marching, that is before I waited by my self in a crowd packed shoulder to shoulder for well over two and a half hours.....in that time we moved about a foot (if that).......I started to get claustraphobic so I escaped to the part of the Meadows where the stage was set up and listened to speeches. Everyone was in a really friendly, united mood.
Two of our roomies. Tony - the Swede (I think he must dye his hair, I mean come on who has ever heard of a raven tressed Swede?!), and Julie - the French Canadian (and so as not to dissapoint I will inform you alll that yes, she does have the Celine Dion body wash!)
The Rilo Kiley concert was tremendous. It was a small intimate venue and the band was even better than I had expected, and I had some pretty high expectations too.
Here's the Beast hard at work!
The Beast and I desperatley miss our moms.......here we try and squeeze out some maternal affection from a statue.......no dice.
That's it for now I guess!

TO THE B-LO FROM THE E-BRU
Just Briefly though:
The concert was AMAZING!!!!!!!!
My roomate is a Baby (and takes our stuff)
I made a friend!!
Work is slowly killing me with boredom (I can't take any more Excel)
I've made friendly with neighborhood cats
weather has been terrific
But most importantly,
I still miss my home and all the little homies who keep me company and make me laugh.

Losing a kitty is a terrible thing.

Lookin' all swank
Yesterday was the day of the big haircut ....see I have to call it that because otherwise it is just yet another day without a job.....
I offered myself up as gineau (wow, how in the heck do you spell that?) pig.
My haridresser in training was shaky, obviously nervous, sighing and pausing. I was watching her face the entire time in the mirror and I felt so bad for her.....she seemed at first nervous with anticipation, then unsure of herself, then frustrated and clueless.....
Luckily the head hairdresser never strayed far from my head, in fact he did most of the cutting,.......actually a little disappionting, I think I might have preferred a fantastic blunder of a haircut accompanied by a tremendous scene with tears and yelling.....instead of getting such a sleak sharp proffessional-lookig bob.
....It looks fine, and I enjoy truly enjoy the change, the fresh feeling on my neck, but let's face it, slick, shiny, perfectly in place hair just looks odd framing my pudgy cheeks and squinty-eyed-crooked smile.
I'm reassured by the knowledge that when I finally have to give in and wash out all of the professional product and fancy-pants grooming I'll be left with a haircut that really isn't suited to frizzy curly hair.
I have taken pictures, before and after.
I hope to get them all put onto a picture cd soon so that I might be able to post them.
For now, description, and quickly drawn sketches will have to do.
I have a job lined up, unfortunately it is only a week long, two tops. Who knows what I'll do after that......
According to the restrictions of my work visa I cannot be a professional performer or sports star, so there go my best bets.
Hehe, I just noticed that my very favorite libraian has had his hair cut too. What a funny coincidence.

Edinburgh and The HOFF
Like David Hasselhoff.....I recently read an interview with him in some British magazine and they described the aging C-list celeb as "undeniabley cool".
I've also had to spend some time recently in a couple of dance clubs.....Jon Bon Jovi, Abba, whoever sings "If you think I'm Sexy", oh, not to mention the dance compilation from Grease.
And their tv shows.......oh my gosh... I can't even get into that right now, not nearly enough time.
However, I have found amusement in the unabashed embracing of all things cheesy (even if my incolvement in said embracing is restricted to merely a witness)
And I have been finding solice in anticipation of some great shows coming up.....even if I have to venture out alone:
T on the Fringe (rip off of T in the Park - yes) is coming up in August and some great acts are coming, I really hope to catch a ton of shows ....Yo La Tengo...wooooohooooo, Magic Numbers, the Pixies (that's right Viscaroonie, end of August drag your scrawny bum out to visit)....lots of other great bands....
Also, Rilo Kiley is playing I think on July 8th and you had better believe I shall be there.
I am curious to see how attending a concert by myself will go.....
Will there be a complete mental breakdown?.....willl I latch on to the nearest stranger and insist on instantaneous best-friendship....I really wouldn't put either of these reactions past myself....
I miss everyone so very much....

mmmm...taco
......wait, that doesn't have sexual conotations does it?....
Anyways, I've just finished eating a rather tasty taco in the UB Library......
I had to be real sneaky about it though because there is clearly a "No Food or Drink" sign in right in front of me.....
A girls gotta do what she's gotta do... and I HAD to eat a taco.
I also had to dip the taco into sour cream......a very messy endeavor...
At one point I made direct eye contact with one of the library staff....and we both stared....politely ignoring the small dallop of sour cream that had found it's way out of my taco and onto the tip of my chin.....
what a crazy life I lead.
