Bloody Cold....but Friday
Category: weather
Why is it that there's no real warning that the seasons are changing here in NY (or Southern ON for that matter...used to live in Toronto and it was the same way...)? One day it's sunny and 70...the next day it's rainy and 50. No gradual temperature shift...just one or the other, black or white, central air or the furnace. (There's another pet peeve...there is no break from utility bills...it's either a high gas bill for the furnace or a high hydro bill for the AC) The leaves are still green and I'm freezing my ass off when I get out of bed in the morning. As Chris Rock says, "Can't a n**** get a lapdance?" Sheesh...

On a bright note...it is Friday...and a payday at that. Not that there's a lot left after rent, gas, cigarettes, food, etc. But hey...it's a living. I still don't have any plans for the evening...but I'm sure that'll work itself out. And if it doesn't...well...there are those 8 loads of laundry staring at me everytime I look in my closet. Anybody doing anything tonight? lol

Back to actual work for now...maybe more later.

EDIT (9:13am): How scary ARE you guys? lol I may be tempted to head down to Ladycroft's get together.....

I lived near Church/Gerrard...a few blocks from Dundas Square. Pricey is an understatement...but I got a great job up there through family connections (both sides of my family are Canadian)..so it wasn't an issue.

So many good times......

This isn't an official party, so it should be tame, haha. It's in a public space with general population present.

Utility bills! We are scared to start heating our place. We moved into our big victorian in May, we have no central air to kvetch about, and now comes the scary bit of heating season... We might need to go buy lots of sweaters... lol

So, where in Toronto were you living? I grew up in Hamilon, ON, and used to spend most of my free time in the city. Lived there briefly, but damn, was it pricey.

As for the get together that (e:Ladycroft) posted about, i would advise you to go for it. Crazy but fun lot. My husband, (E:UNcutsaniflush) and i would go, too, but we have prior arrangments for the weekend, to go visit my 'rents in the "Hammer".

Whatever you decide to do, have a good weekend!

Little about me...and how much work suck
Category: life
Where to begin a journal about my life?

Well....first off...it's not very exciting. I'm a 26 year old business-world working stiff handling claims for a major insurance company here in Buffalo. (No, not Geico...oy..lol) I put in my 8 hours a day, mostly dealing with people who don't take the time to read anything (pet peeve for an English major...) and generally using only 2% of my brain in any given day. I've got all the usual accoutrements that go along with life...rent, car payment, student loans, bills, etc etc. *laugh*

So that kills 40 hours each week....the rest I spent sitting on the couch, playing rugby (wonderfully violent), heading out with friends, drinking, eating, and sleeping.

Like I said...not very exciting (well..except the rugby..lol)...but it's life. I've got good friends, a good family, and live in reasonable comfort.

And really, what else is there?

Welcome to estrip, Sbrugger. Nice to meet you. If you're looking for excitment, this crowd can get to be a handful at times... so watch out if you get invited to an estripper bash! Happy journalling!
