I want prawn

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Pr0n. I can’t help myself, besides, it’s possible it might be shrimp

I said to myself that I’d try not to post things that were way off tangent. I suppose I’m not the dog’s bullocks. Working today, I got really tired. I wanted a nap.. then I wanted Tsim Chai Noodle’s wontons. They’re massive, made of seafood, and raise my cholesterol level to new heights.. But I want. Sadly, it’s more expensive here in BC than it is in Toronto.

BC has clean air. I don’t know.. just for good measure I suppose.

Pose? Expose.

Bikram Yoga, as described by wikipedia and confirmed by myself when I went to try it out this long weekend with a few friends, is yoga for 90 minutes in hot-hot heat. Simply put, kind of a crock as far as yoga goes.

This is going to be a bit of a rant, and a bit of a review.

Rant: Keeping in mind I have a very narrow view on yoga, what it is, and what it means to people, I’d always thought it was about being spiritual and such. You know the deal: worldly possessions, hate and greed are avoided and not practiced amongst yogi of high stature. If you have a similar view on this, I think this link here called The Money Pose is a very interesting read. The gist of it is basically the creator of Bikram Yoga aka Hot Yoga goes on and on about how baller he is, how important he is and how revered he should be in America since he was brought there by a former president. He develops his yoga style and teaches it, then, years later after his branding is established, he goes and sues practitioners (some, former students of his) to pay him money for using his name and agree to only teach his style or else stop. Not the nicest of yogi’s.

Velvet Roped Washrooms

Monday, March 17th, 2008

I’ll have to make this quick because I’m already 40 minutes past new “bedtime” as of today.

Work Update: All is busy. I suppose that won’t ever change, and I’m slowly becoming used to the meetings. The very same meetings that I need to attend that are “holding me back” in the early stages. I swear my time could be more productive if it wasn’t spent straining my ears trying to pick out words from the static being picked up on the speakerphone at the other end. All this technology, and none of it is helping me in that aspect.

Life Update: Alright, I have to admit, I check out washrooms like an addict. Although I may not be picky which washrooms I choose to use, as long as I’m not stepping, staring at, or feeling things, I’m good. But I do have one complaint:

Warning, toilet talk ensues

Vogue into the innernets

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I actually thought it’d be OK to post without a picture. But it looks so strange not having one. So here you go. Picture was taken by Jack. Relaxy time.

That’s what I feel like doing. Vogueing. You know that old dance that Madonna used to do before she had wrinkles where she’d put her hands around her face as if it were a frame? Thats right. I wish to vogue, at work no less because that’s about how out of place I feels sometimes. I know this week is to get all caught up with everyone, but I am so impatient. I want to be caught up now and I want to know everything I’ll need to know right now.

Close From Far

Focus

Coheed and Cambria’s Backend of Forever starts to play at an abysmal 7:30am and my eyes burn.

Btw: Thanks everyone for the text messages and well wishes that came in other forms. I’m sorry I didn’t reply to all of you, I got busy :/ but you guys can read about my day here =)

Today was the first day at my new gig and I’m pretty excited about the coming months, of course, you can replace “excited” with words such as “dreadful” or “omigawd” (in all contexts of the fake word). There are about 30-35 of us starting today and out of this group, I represent 50% of the Canadian population. Awesome. At first I wasn’t feeling very social at all. I just sat there on my own minding my own business, hopeful at the day to come and only speaking when spoken to. That, of course, changed as the day progressed and I think I started to motormouth at my peers. Oh well. A lot of them needed the practice anyway.
