I'm a bad blogger!

Who lets just anyone blog?  There should probably be a rule that if you don't blog at least once a month you are not allowed to blog anymore but I figure in my case it is okay because no one reads my stuff anyways.

So yesterday was a fantastical day - that's my great word of the day!  It was absolutely beautiful out (well it was +8 or something but in February that's pretty nice), I finally found time to take my shoes to the shoe guy and he fixed the heel for free in less than 30 seconds - yay for the shoe guy!- and I got two pieces of mail at work and they both came with pink paperclips on them!  I LOVE PINK!!!!!!  Then at the end of the day my friend Chris told me about how Rocky Mountain Soap Company was having a deal where they would swap any old lipgloss you had for a brand new one of theirs for free so that you would try theirs. 
Yay!   So I swapped my Victorias Secret lipgloss which I hate because it's too sticky for a lip plump cinnamon lip gloss from Rocky Mountain Soap!  YAY!!!  So up until 4:15 the day was just wonderful!!!!!

Then some drunk idiot at Centre Street thought it a good idea to get pinned under a train and shut down the train service for hours doing rush hour.  I doubt that it was his idea really but wow people are stupid.  It seems that there is always someone not paying attention on the platforms and falls off or thinks that they can outrun a train that weighs 42 tonnes per car (and there are 3 of them) and then you have to add the 162 people per car that are squished into there so it's not a light vehicle despite its name of "Light Rail" Train.

Anyways, so the trains are shut down at rush hour and people are stuck.  So Chris says she will drive me home from her car which is 55 blocks away but we can take the bus.  But after waiting for the bus at numerous stops we figured out there was no possibility we were getting on the bus that would take us close to her car.  So we started walking, and walking, and walking.....
Walked all the way down to her car.  about 5.2kms away.  Luckily it was nice out of course but the snow had been melting all day so our feet were soaked from all the puddles.  Figured it was our workout for the day!

So last night, satisfied I didn't have to go to the gym, Nicole called and asked if I wanted to watch a movie.  We went down to blockbuster and rented Exit Through the Giftshop:

What a great movie! I didn't know much about street art or Banksy, just that he was some guy who put pictures up here and there and no one knew who he was. Was one of those thinker movies though. A bit in appreciating street art and the difference between street art and graffiti and a bit in knowing the difference between doing something for money and doing something because you love it.

While watching the movie though, we stuffed our faces with homemade nachos, guess that cancels out my walk huh?

Tonight, I am heading to the Atlantic Trap & Gill to get a taste of home. Wonder if the band will know Barrett's Privateers.
