Guess what was in it?
MY SUNIA INFO! :D:D:D:D

The Spanish phrase of the day:

Hay tan de cosas y yo no puedo hacer todo y yo sé que voy a matar alguien.

Rough translation: There are too many things on sale and I can't keep up with them and I can't do everything (check prices, see if suchandsuch is on 30% or 40% off or regular price, not go insane) and I know I'm going to kill someone today just because it's sooo crazy.

I don't pay attention to the world for a few weeks and look what happens!

North Korea goes all psycho and tests missiles over Japan and then very little afterwards.
One Israeli soldier is abducted and uncertainty grips Israel.
Two Israeli soldiers are abducted and Israel bombs and invades Lebannon to retrieve them and kill Hezbollah operatives.
Lebannon takes over Iraq's limelight.
A tsunami overtakes Java.
Nigerian oil pipes are attacked by militants.

The world is nuts!

I have decided what we shall do for the days off we'll have:

SALONS 17th century style!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_%28gathering%29
A salon is a gathering of stimulating people of quality under the roof of an inspiring hostess or host, partly to amuse one another and partly to refine their taste and increase their knowledge through conversation and readings, often consciously following Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "to please and educate" (aut delectare aut prodesse est). The salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical salons of the 17th century and 18th century, were carried on until quite recently in urban settings among like-minded people of a 'set': many 20th-century salons could be instanced.

Hay una senora a Sears quien habla espanol y ella me dijo que puedo practicar mi espanol cuando ella viene.
(There's a fun lady at Sears who's hispanic who said that I can speak Spanish to her when she comes by to keep it up to snuff.) [Note, not a direct translation].

Arg at my lost memory key!!!

I can't find my memory key and I'm trying to move files from the desktop to laptop and it's not working very well with the laptop internet-free and the floppy disk I'm using less than cooperative.

Blank = blank

Stampede = waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many people.
Work = fun.
Zidane in the Final = WTF?
Hanging out with people at Stampede when not being sardined into oblivion = fun.
Indie bands with amazing names = amusing.

1672 AD: A corrupt politician

I know I was really bitchy to people online and negative about my first day at work,

However my second day was astronomically better: I knew more of what I was doing, I felt more comfortable, I had breakfast outside on the deck with Mum for the first time that I can remember in forever and had a really chill morning so I didn't feel underpressure and I was early for work; as well, I SAW MME SALLOUM AND SPOKE WITH HER IN FRENCH AS SHE PASSED MY TILL!!! And, when she left she ended with "ça m'a fait plaisir" It was a pleasure to see you again! AND! I had a really fun customer who bought the slippers the ordered downtown at our location, but the important part was she was really prim and proper and had an Upper Canadian accent and exuded the desire to be called "Ma'am", so I did and it made me really happy to have such a traditionalist-esque customer who I didn't have to worry if she'd mind being called "ma'am" (which I reserve for older ladies, just to be courteous and such). Those two encounters made my day!!!!!

BUT! I'm going off with Oriana to wander the city for a while then I'll be home to bother Joseph as he's leaving tomorrow morning realllllly early for Québec where he'll stay for five weeks.

So, à plus tard,
Me.
