9.11.08

anything but what i SHOULD be doing.

i love canada, dont get me wrong.
but holy shit.. this low light is driving me crazy
its 7:17pm and it feels like its between 11 and midnite.

talk about screwing up your entire day, i have a hard time getting out of bed in the first place let alone getting anything of relevance accomplished. forget it, its just not going to happen. im sorry united empire loyalists paper, its not looking so hot, you might not get finished today. *tear*

exciting (or just notable) things that happened today... 

one of the ghetto buildings across the way was on fire today.. i was cooking myself some lunch when i noticed copious amounts of billowing black smoke wafting away from one of the furthest away 'in the ghetto hood' buildings. i went out to the balcony to get a better look, and low and behold, it was a blaze! talk about excitement.. i could hear people yelling, "GET OUT, ITS A FIRE!" im not totally sure but from what i could see it looked like an entire apartment was on fire, and that maybe it was actually two or three on fire. 

i would be SO mad if a neighbour had a fire, and my stuff got ruined as a result. sure i have insurance, but really.. that would suck, and it would suck hard.

the fire alarm here is one of my major pet peeves, it goes off at least twice a month.. and most of the time it is a false alarm.. in the two years that we've been here, there has only been two real fires, and only one time the fire alarm went off.. and that was a terrible morning. the parking garage in flames at 6am, with the alarm going off for two hours that i could have been sleeping. and the other fire, (that i know of) was outside, it looked like someone had lit leaves or garbage on fire.. both would be understandable in this neighbourhood.

i guess what im getting at is, that sucks for those people who were up in flames today.. and that im ready for summer again.

sigh,
