work evaluation day


TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH;
expectedly, bus shows up like 30 mins late cuz of the snow storm.
UHHHHHHH.
on the upside, my evaluation went super smoothly and i also learned that 2 tasks that i HATE doing which have been part of my job as of late will no longer be assigned to me. *cries of mad joy*
felt soooooo damn good to eventually head back home...
headstart to unwinding in my living room!!

no, it's not january yet


MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH;
when you wake up from an evening nap and take a peek outside and you know you HAVE to get to montreal the next day for your work evaluation:
😫😫😫 !!$%#%#?

work & play


FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH;
after an afternoon shift at the office with isabelle, headed off to lasalle to spend the evening over at chantal's.
first, winners:
then dinner @ scores:
after watching a few hours of TV she had to drive me back to bonaventure station, cuz of the metro strike, but it all worked out in the end. yaaay.

oval hoop magics


WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH;
went to l'encre des encres to fix a piercing irritation issue—needed help to remove the latest hoop on my left lobe. while being there asked if we could also try out this oval hoop i'd bought online for my nostril:
turns out it's a much better fit than the classic hoop i bought at paradise the last time!! AND the ultimate solution to my problem from last month. no more gap! yaaayaayyay. the only thing that bugs me is that with a hoop the piercing angle is now fully obvious and more forward than i'd like it to be. but. is my OCD really going to make me retire a piercing which healed perfectly throughout the last year (to the exact day) to start over again for a matter of millimeters? nah. really don't think so. but still..... GAH.

outside work


TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH;
got a head start into storing up (most of) my outside deco for winter. amidst days of rain and MORE RAIN and also being off work, figured i'd rush this task off the "to do" list.
bye gang! see you next spring.

evening movie out


THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30TH;
rainy day off & heading out to montreal to catch a late showing of depeche mode's latest live movie M! arrived ahead of time to shop/browse around...
just felt a bit tired, bought nothing but a few practical things, did my best to stretch time before the movie...
despite a slight headache peeking around the corner, here we arrrre:
the joy of picking a movie showtime ending near midnight on a weekday = super small crowd. yesss!!
ok. thoughts. not sure if i really had expectations to begin with, but i guess if any.....sadly they weren't exactly met? it felt oddly bland to me (and dare i say it—slightly boring). i mean, it was ok. & that's as far as it goes. most likely deep down i was hoping for something more along the lines of 101. well, obviously minus the entire roadtrip thing and 80s feel and the energy of youth from decades past. but ya know. how about showing some behind the scenes? hearing dave and martin's thoughts instead of just see them on stage for the exact same show i'd already seen live twice in an era where full shows easily end up on youtube anyway? also while i understood the whole mexico/death theme, i REALLY wish they had focused more on the band. oh well. *sigh*
on a more upbeat note, had a chuckle when i got out and saw this:
AHAHHAH oh my, what a blast from the past. 😂

(likely) last bike ride of the year


WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29TH;
not in the day's planning, but dammit...too gorgeous to pass!
5:30-6:15pm phone call appointment with an animal communicator upon coconut's passing is a strange experience. also a bit costly but then again, as i figured, pretty much same rate as a shrink session! & now whether all that's been said is true or not—i must admit it took most of my guilt away.
trying on clothes @ village des valeurs again:
