Who woulda thunk that the other name for freakin' hazelnuts is filberts?! No really? I was standing in the aisle in the grocery store thinking, 'Why the heck do they have EVERYTHING else but naffing hazelnuts? Let's see, peanuts, walnuts, pecans... filberts… right. Let's look again… why the fekk do they have everything and these stupid… fil… oh.'
So I baked this really yummy cinnamon banana loaf today. It needs more cinnamon and I have to play with the temperature in my oven yet again. So it took about a ½ hour longer to bake. Oh well, still turned out well. It required hazelnut meal… well I just used 'flaked filberts.' What a funny word… like giblets. Maybe it has to do with the letters 'L', 'I', 'B', 'E', and 'T' combined in some way.
My buying 2 gnu pairs of shoes, is perfectly justified now because I HAVE ANOTHER JOB! One was ½ price and the other one was less than ½. Hmmph! I don't call myself Bargain Queen Extraordinaire for nothing. I took the chance and quit that Rotten place… thanks for the congrats Stephie. You need to do the same. I will be working at a law firm in the banking district as a library assistant. Hooray, it assuages the nerd in me. It's only a 7-month contract and because I'm finishing up someone's mat leave, but it's at least $900 more a month than I'm making right now. So I'm not complaining. And I'm still going to work for the clinic on by finishing up weekly stuff and cleaning the office on Sundays. I'll drop in the 2 times the office is open late. I'm a workaholic at heart and I need to stay busy else… I'll get bored. And it doesn't hurt to make a little extra coin.
It appears that after weeks of stealing wireless from someone… I've lost my source. It used to be SO good, SO reliable. But now I get this piddly signal from another source that keeps drifting between very low and no signal. VERY frustrating. Where oh where did my source go? I just want to finish this damned article in the New York Times about (now the late) Pinochet. Lemme read it!
There are certain things I've noticed about my neighbourhood. Sadly, I notice dog shit smeared on the sidewalk everyday. THIS CITY'S GONE TO SHITS! Hyuk hyuk hyuk. People in this area are SPOILED by the TTC. The bus came at an average Scarborough time for me so I wasn't too annoyed, but EVERYONE on the bus was YELLING at the bus driver. Dudes you gain NOTHING by yelling at a bus driver. There is nothing a bus driver can or WILL do for you ingrates and if you don't want to wait you have SO many other options. The 512 isn't the ONLY bus running in this area so shut up and stop complaining. Besides, I'd HATE to be a bus driver on the St. Clair route right now because traffic is so crazy every day. WALK people. It wouldn't kill you to get up off your lazy asses. You're not the only person affected by all this crazy construction.
I have an ottoman with storage space! SO exciting! It's that faux suede material that's SO soft because I didn't want to get a leather one that my ass would stick to in the summer. It kinda smells tea tree oil/eucalyptus-ish. At least it's not too chemically, but it's still quite pungent.
Did some registration work yesterday. I registered a person in the media for an oil painting class yesterday. I didn't make the connection until a few custies later though. And then I spent a few hours in the mall I hate the most. Only because there's people I know working at Sears and I went on break with one of 'em. But walking by the Food Court all I could think was, 'I hate this mall, I hate this mall… I HATE THIS MALL!' But I picked up stuff that I needed for my place so I guess it's ok.
Ok linksys… just stay long enough so I can post this entry. Work with me here please…
