Although my nouns are different, my adjectives are the same

That's one of those things someone i know said. I wish it was me. Alas, my friends, it wasn't. If only.
In any event, i thought it was hilarious, and am happy to share it with you.

summer is beginning to give up her fight

Has anyone else notice that most people tend to blog less in the summer? Maybe it's just me...
perhaps it has to do with the lack of time i spend directly at my computer procrastinating writing papers. So here I am, putting in the weekly blogging effort... you're right, i am procrastinating, this time though it's housework.
So lets see... in the miscellaneous adventures category, there seems to be a large void of events., well, at least in the past week anyway.
I'm thinking about redoing my dresser, okay, i know i'm going to. I've decided to be bold, throw caution to the wind and paint it both Pink and Red! If i pull it off, it's gonna look fantastic, if not, it'll look sickening and i'll repaint it again later. I like the idea of combining the two colours that aren't conventionally put together. they're both great, and so i'm excited. I'm just trying to decide if i want to go with a faux tile look, or if i want to do something more retro inspired with a pink background and red stripes or squares (i'd also incorporate a couple of other acccent colours). I went to get paint yesterday, but i couldn't find a colour that i wanted... and Canadian Tire couldn't colour match the samples i had brought them... i will have to plan my next move ... benjamin moore is what i'm thinking.... ($$$$) there has to be a cheaper alternative
So other than that, i melted my food processor to the stove earlier this week.... it was a smelly disaster. The food processor is now officially garbage. Sad but true.
that's about all the news in my world. Anyhoo, i'm off to maybe try to do a bit of stuff before I go back to work tonight
later gators

Waiting at a stoplight with no where to go

Ever feel like that? I bet you do, i think we all do.
So here I am, 7:30 am, i just got off work, and I am contemplating going to bed. For some reason i was just washed over with a wave of pensiveness. I'm not sure why, and it's not even necessarily a bad pensiveness, but more or less the inherent and insatiable need to stop and reflect. Speaking of reflecting, i just realized that this is getting a little heavy.... sorry, i'm not trying to bring people down, i geuss it's just an attempt to be self - aware.
On a completly other note (yes, it is time for a change of tone, or else you'll all be tired of my melodramatic ponderings), things are good. I haven't been up to a whole lot... tall ships last weekend, kayaking-- which i really enjoyed, and a lot of time spent hanging out... good times indeed. This weekend was a little more low-key.... I worked overnight shifts, which i like, but they don't leave a lot of room for adventures. I did, however go to see the buskers last night... lots of juggling. Enjoyable... neat tricks. I want a uni-cycle... then maybe i can join the buskers, or at least amuse my friends. Speaking of fun things I have to amuse my friends, Ramzi (Allison's boyfriend) was kind enough to lend me his banjo!!!! Todays project, find a book to teach me how to play. good times indeed. Well, i feel like i need some sleep before attempting to make the world a slightly more musical place.... goodnight folks!

Funny addendum
LOL.... okay, so i was gonna add a plea for comments, the funny thing is the only basis for the plea i could come up with was, 'for the love of pete, someone comment....'
but then i thought, i couldn't do that... what if no one comments? Does that mean we don't love or appreciate Pete? Where the heck did that saying come from? Anyhoo.... as to not offend Pete, i've decided to abstain from using any such phrase (at least for the time being).... bonne nuit mes amies
