i should be posting more - part ii

[... continued]

i had a quick shower, heated a frozen dinner and chatted with k-twang before heading out for drinks with kgb. we hit a french version of an irish pub which is really cozy, and talked non-stop until it was late for both of us. it's weird talking to someone with so many similar and similarly weird experiences.

i was having difficulty deciding between vfmp's halloween party and seeing neil fight. the two excuses for doing the latter were not having a costume (mandatory costume party) and not being sure that the party was really happening, but vfmp assured me that there are spare outfits and that everything's proceeding as planned so oh, well, i'll dress up and party :)

today i actually managed to find a reasonably priced frankenstein make-up kit so i guess i'll be fine.

after last month's excess i'm now a little more cautious about my internet usage. i'm also rather shocked to discover that in less than a week i've blasted through 35 gigabytes... i'd like to blame that on setting up a new pc, but i doubt it had that much effect. is it netflix? i just dropped my settings from "auto" to "medium", we'll see. is it the failed ios update download? that's certainly a factor... the fact that the download cannot be resumed is insane. it turned out to be safer to perform the update directly from my phone. i hope my phone didn't switch to 3g or i'm in for a really big phone bill :S

---thursday:

after the last couple of training sessions, today was definitely laundry day. i was absolutely exhausted for most of it, two strong cups of coffee in class didn't really help me much. i walked out of there desperately hungry - thank you subway - i passed out on the metro and then crashed when i got home. not before putting in the load of washing, and each time i had to get up for that was harder than before.

eventually i balanced out a bit. i started watching eddie murphy - raw because i'd never done that. it's outdated, but even then it was nothing but pandering to socially accepted stereotypes and the humour was no more elevated than making fun of people for being human. it's misogynistic and homophobic, uninspired and unintelligent, and i'm kinda glad i missed it. comedians (in my world) are supposed to hold a mirror up to society, murphy was holding up a megaphone instead.

i got ready to go to jiu-jitsu class, figuring i would only do that as it's low intensity. i was a block away from my apartment (running in the rain) when i realized that training was not a good idea. i started returning, hesitated, walked a little further and then decided that i definitely needed to rest. or eat something, post this, go to the shops because i'm out of food, and then rest.

---shane koyczan and hannah epperson - remember how we forgot is an experience you probably don't want to miss out on. just saying.
