I wanted to go to the store to get some stuff to make a sandwich. The only open stores are Wal-Marts. There were police outside of the one closer to me, they were arresting some people. I decided to go to the one a bit further out, there was lots of people, lots of lines, and I couldn't really get any sandwich making ingredients. I saw people fighting over discounted blu-ray players. Tearing apart the display.
America, this is why the rest of the world makes fun of us all the time. You are trying to fight other people in a Wal-Mart at 5 in the morning.

Why were you shopping for sandwich ingredients at five in the morning? What kind of shop is open at five in the morning? Oh, America.

Look! Snow!


Not a whole lot, but still. It came down in about three hours and the front garden is much more covered than the fields.

In America Christmas shopping's best deals start at midnight Thanksgiving, and hundreds of people stand in lines outside of retailers to buy digital cameras and ipods marked down. Stores that normally open at 8am open between 2 and 5am because people are stupid enough to be there.

There was a thread last year about the death at a walmart during the black friday shopping rush. Yes world, we really are that driven by consumerism.

Holy crap, I just got offered a summer job today. A relevant one, at an actual, proper company, after being interviewed and everything (I've only been to three interviews in my entire life, and I'm painfully shy and suck at saying nice things about myself).

I won't get the contract until next week some time, and I won't feel that it's really happening until then, but still. Holy crap.

Food sucked complete ass last night, but I got to smoke with one of my family members. Never done that before. The trust inherent in keeping that shit on the DL is kinda a first time thing with that member of the family, and we also got to know each other a little better. He was already attending college when I was an 8th grader who didn't know shit about anything ever, and as a result we've never really gotten too close. But we got a good chill sesh last night. I had a good Thanksgiving.

I don't think I've ever actually enjoyed Thanksgiving before, come to think of it. I'm usually very alone during the holidays. I've always been the quiet kid that everybody winds up forgetting is even there. So to have my relative actually single me out and say "Hey dude let's chill before I gotta drop you off" was really, really nice. Maybe these holidays won't suck. Maybe I'll start enjoying the holidays in general, who knows?

Just got back from eating at my grandparents house, an event that always leaves me with mixed feelings. My grandmother always tries to feed me, but well, she is 80+ and isn't a good cook any more. Even if she was they're not exactly loaded. End result is I stick around for a few hours and enjoy myself but end up leaving feeling like the back of my stomach is trying to gnaw through the front of my stomach. There's exactly enough food to make me wish I had eaten more. Taking them out to eat isn't really an option either, since I don't think my grandfather would let me pick up the check even if I held them at gunpoint.

We managed to have a properly oh-god-not-another-dinner Thanksgiving - though not as bad as The Christmas We Spent In The Car two years ago. At my sister-in-law's I played with my niece a bunch while my husband tossed his elementary-age cousins around the living room. Dinner at my sister-in-law's was served two hours behind schedule, so we got to my parents' house two hours after the announced dinner time, which had been served only one hour late. Then we played Taboo, and wine was spilled on the new white carpet. Good times!

Today I went for my first bike ride in like, forever. I finally got a helmet so I can ride, even though my boyfriend's mum gave the bike to me uh, last November. This is my bike:



She's an unrestored Peugeot from 1975. Unrestored = total bitch. The gears are hell, the brakes are stuck half-on, and it's impossible to get up a hill (although that may also be my unfit legs talking). That said, it was still fun! I rode to the shop to get fish and chips for dinner.

Heh, I can dig that. I've worked in IT enough times to appreciate both sides of the argument. I think hacking kinda applies to any boffin activity, hence coffee hacking, body hacking etc.

Well no, since I mentioned it actually has gears and brakes. I can't imagine how I'd fare on a fixie. I'd probably last about one minute before I either crashed due to the lack of hand brakes, or got off because I couldn't pedal it up the slightest incline.

I've tried this before. I think the big issue is I'm eating somewhere around 3k calories a day right now and pretty much don't go 3 hours without eating.

I see a bunch of hipsters in Glebe trying to ride their fixies up and down Glebe Point Rd. Fucking idiots the lot of them.

I just want to say, there is no reason anyone should ride a fixed-gear without brakes. It is stupid. My fixed-gear bicycle has brakes and I'm really happy for them. I can only imagine I'd have far far far more cabs crashing into me without.

I've ridden fixed gears without brakes. And this is going to sound stupid, but I think it's really fun! Because you're constantly in motion(and the bike is usually really light), it really feels like you're going as fast as the bike is. With regular bikes when you stop peddling and you keep going you feel like you're on a vehicle, not part of a machine. I dunno, it sounds stupid but I can see the appeal of being in total control. theyre not appropriate in all cities, like Halifax, but many cities are flat enough for them to be really fun.
My bike is a fucking ridiculously stupid heavy bike, it is really good looking and works well but it feels like I basically have a trailer on the back, it has coaster breaks that I really love though, I don't like hand brakes as they kinda freak me out.

It boggles my mind when people ride fixies around here because this city is REALLY hilly. Like, sometimes I feel it's faster to walk up the hill from my apartment to school than it is for some people to ride their bikes up the same hill. (I have not seen people ride fixies up that particular hill, but I see them downtown and in other neighborhoods and I think those people are nuts.)

It is snowing in Glasgow too! Glasgow probably has more snow than Edinburgh!

Also Simon I'm sorry, I completely forgot to tell you I went to Edinburgh yesterday, but I was sort of running around the Christmas market with some friends and then I joined the free walking tour of the city (3 hours of standing around various sites in the freezing cold, I'm surprised I still have all toes intact), so I doubt it would have been any fun meeting up with me anyway. Unless you like listening to facts about a city you've lived in since forever while freezing various limbs off of course. Let me know if you're going to Glasgow at some point though, it seems like whenever I'm in Edinburgh I always have so much stuff to do!

I was at the Christmas Market last night too! We probably crossed paths while I had my face nose deep in a mug of mulled wine. It was pretty great. I wanted to try the mulled beer but then it was closing time. It made me sad. We ended up frolicking in the snow.

But yeah, you guys probably have tons more snow than us. I think Edinburgh gets the least amount of snow of anyone in the UK. It sucks.

Aw man! I was there in the morning and during the day though, went back to Glasgow at around 6. But yeah, I had my face deep in one of those mugs too, the mulled wine helped with making my nose not freeze off I think. Also those mugs were so cute, I brought mine back with me and I'm having tea from it right now!

It is frankly ridiculous that you two live so close and have not yet met up. I have met up with both of you and I live nowhere near either of you. Sort it out.

Guys I know my doctor said I wasn't allowed to do anything extracurricular next year but I'm sure she meant "don't do anything extracurricular except direct a production of The Importance of Being Earnest", right?

ETA: hmm it has been performed five times in the last three years, bother. However! The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie has only ever been performed once in recorded memory so perhaps I will get on that instead.

It was my birthday yesterday, so we went to a microbrewery and I drank all the stout. So much stout. For dessert I had a stout float, which is ice cream and whipped cream with coffee stout poured over the top. With a cherry! It was fucking fantastic. I'm sure it sounds pretty horrific to some people but it was really tasty, basically just tasted like cappuccino ice cream. That gets you tipsy. And I watched a bunch of hockey.

ETA: hmm it has been performed five times in the last three years, bother. However! The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie has only ever been performed once in recorded memory so perhaps I will get on that instead.

This is a better idea. Mostly due to the fact that Muriel Spark is a more interesting and talented writer than Oscar Wilde ever was.

Last night I was going to go out with a bunch of friends and make a bonfire. But then I got to my friends' house, and they were all so snuggly and warm that we just listened to music and talked and drank beer and whiskey and it was a really great way to end the day.
Now I'm back at getting things prepared for my final papers. Going to bike to the library soon and pick up a couple books on Walt Whitman, and then spend the afternoon deciding which Whitman and Pound poems I want to throw in my paper. I'm actually really excited to write this thing, 'cause I'm super interested in my topic. And then, to prep for my other final paper, I get to watch La Dolce Vita! Life is grand.

It was my birthday yesterday, so we went to a microbrewery and I drank all the stout. So much stout. For dessert I had a stout float, which is ice cream and whipped cream with coffee stout poured over the top. With a cherry! It was fucking fantastic. I'm sure it sounds pretty horrific to some people but it was really tasty, basically just tasted like cappuccino ice cream. That gets you tipsy. And I watched a bunch of hockey.

Let's see...

Stout? Check. Sweet tooth? Check. Fucking cherry? Check.

Dovey you've stumbled on something amazing and I wish to consume all of their goods.

This is the place, FYI. Also, pretty much every component of every meal they make involves beer somehow. I had a bison burger that was marinated in beer with beer-caramelised onions and beer gravy on my (regrettably not beer-battered) fries.

I just did the Student Radio Charts on our radio station which is probably the most stressful thing I have ever done. Basically what happens is that all student radio stations get hooked up to our stream and everyone listens to our station. It's completely scripted and we have to play stuff at exactly the right time. The shitty thing was that our hard drive went kaboom at the start of the show so we had none of the music we had to play.

Thank god for youtube.

My life now consists of sitting in my bed and either practicing programming for my exams, or watching day9. I'm rushing headfirst into deep nerd territory, with no way back. Okay with that, really.

It kills me that the Culver's "snack pack" is like 700 calories before you add in a soft drink.

I don't really drink ever but beer is one of my favourite things to cook with.
