wake me up before you go-go

home day. My weekend will be dedicated to editing and organizing (and some reading of course!). It's cold today; unusually cold, which is a stark contrast to my last post. I'm predicting an early winter for Northern Alberta. They all think I'm crazy but I'll have the last laugh ;)

It's hot at camp, and humid (surprisingly). I haven't really done much because it's either been really hot or raining. Oh, well, I've slept a lot this week and probably consumed an unhealthy amount of coffee.

Things I need to do:

• organize my itunes library and rip my new NIN cds.
• create at least 3 new ipod play lists.
• reinstall Mac OSX Leopard on both Luke (macbook pro) and Kyle (macbook).
• get my car into the shop to fix the fuel filter (the kids who changed my oil tried to replace my fuel filter but that was an epic fail. Now I'm losing fuel pressure.
• get my car into the auto detailer.
• sort through all my belongings. keep. toss. giveaway etc. Decide what's going into storage.
• find my birth certificate so I can get a permanent Saskatchewan driver's licence.

Nothing too interesting due to weather or just being busy.

St. John's, Newfoundland and I will meet for the very first time October 7, 2008.  While I wait:

• A History of Newfoundland by Daniel Woodley Prowse.
• 52 Great Hikes of Newfoundland & Labrador by Mary Smith and Fred Hollingshurst.

all the world's a stage

It was a dark and stormy night- that is where we join our heroine. The rain had been falling steady for the past 14 hours. 9:43 pm. Zeppelin on the ipod. Turning into the lakeside town of Lac La Biche, our heroine stops for coffee, smokes and a mandatory washroom break, after 12 hours on the road. The total for the smokes and two coffee drinks; $18.28. The rest is surreal.

Heroine: *hands cashier a twenty dollar bill*

Cashier (about 18 years old): *gasps as the cash register opens* I hate that when that happens!

Heroine: what?

Cashier: Now I can't enter the amount and I hate counting change. *looks at the cash register for a moment and frowns nervously* umm...how much do I owe you?

Heroine: *long blink* one dollar 72 cents.

Cashier: *embarrassed* I don't know how to count change.

Heroine: *long blink* no worries. Counting up is hard.

Cashier: *giggles* that's not very nice!

Heroine: *grabs loot, smiles, and exits stage right*

True story.

Oakley sunglasses and Fendi frames. Appreciate my bling. The frames are my favourite. I finally got the nerdiest pair of glasses I could find that suited me =) mmm...geek chic.
