Tuesday morning is here now, and I've once more been up since 4 AM in my quest to keep from ballooning over my vacation. No danger, really; I hit another 240 calories on the bike today while listening to episode 1 of Doctor Who - The Dark Husband, then I went to the weights for the rest of the workout with Britney Spears' new album, Circus, in my ears.
Circus ain't that bad, really.
I was speaking with my friend, the Internationally Famous Jim Wylie, and we both admitted that much to our respective chagrin we like the album. I like the new Killers album, too; when I was listening to the single "Human" I could actually hear that Killers "sound", almost how U2 created their own signature feel for their songs.
So. With the gym behind me I have the rest of the day to go. More laundry will happen soon. A breakfast shake. Folding the laundry. And a bit more shopping; The Dark Knight is out on DVD today and they're selling it for 19.99 at BestBuy so may as well cash in on that. Tomorrow it comes out on Blu-Ray and I will also get one of those; I figure I will be going to Blu-Ray sometime by the middle of next year so I may as well start getting stuff to watch on it. The only thing I'll be getting on DVD from now on is Doctor Who and maybe the odd used movie at Rogers for dirt cheap.
Oh yeah there will be no painting this week. Something got in the way. Like, a Sea Devil and a Zygon. Shut up.
Okay so on with the day. And on with tonight when I see Duran Duran.
That is all.

Vacation - Day 1
Because it's after 8 AM now it may as well be vacation day 2; normally I'd be finishing work for the day right about now and coming home in a daze all tired and possibly grouchy wondering when I would find the time to do anything for myself today.
But I'm none of the above.
I was up just after 4 AM, and I went to the gym to get some cardio in. I didn't stay for weights or anything; I listened to an episode of a Doctor Who audio while I pedalled away on the bike for about 25 minutes and exterminated 240 calories in the process. Tomorrow I'll be back in there for a fuller workout in the morning.
I came home and had breakfast, did my dishes, prepped some food for later this week and threw on some laundry. And once it's all dry and put away I'm going to go out and get some new paint for my hallway. Yes, I had this brief dalliance with the concept of moving out because of my loud asshole neighbours next door and upstairs, but I'm not going. I'll see them gone before me. So I am going to do the hall in a nice shade of blue, and eventually the rest of my living room in a brown-ish colour.
That will probably be the extent of today; I'll go out and do more things away from home the rest of the week, like seeing Duran Duran tomorrow night at the ACC.
Stay tuned for more adventures this week.
That is all.

the onion

you'd think...
Say if your weekend plans went all to hell and someone offered to adjust their to hang with you and maybe even help you out... YOU'D THINK you would get moving instead of keeping them waiting... OR if you were going to be late YOU'D THINK you might get in touch and say you're running behind, apologize for the delay and either make other plans or get your ass in gear and keep the ones your friend just made.
YOU'D THINK.
Cause it's not like I have all night to sit around and wait for SOMEOME who doesn't necessarily get the concept of what it means for me to adjust my time to make room for someone else. I'm a bit of a solitary creature, really; I am all okay with doing things on my own and actually have a few I want to do tomorrow morning, and staying out late because someone wasn't on time isn't really going to make that easy. Yes, Real Canadian Superstore is open 24 hours but that doesn't mean I want to go there at midnight when my plans for tomorrow start at 4.00 AM. Thinking back I remember when the same person I am waiting for right now wanted to go out drinking or dancing or something after a movie (which I pretty much slept through because I was so tired) I said "I can't, I've been up since 4 AM," the reply I got was "Well, nobody MADE you get up that early,". No. Nobody did. I chose to.
But it seems that someone is making me wait tonight. And I'm finding it all a bit rude.
That is all.
