Day: August 21, 2004

You have to love the panhandlers downtown. It seems that everyone has a unique hook to try and tease some money from the smileless mobs. My philosophy is that if they can make me laugh, or catch me off guard with something unusual, I'll usually dig into my pockets to see if I have some change. (Some of them have gotten to be permanent fixtures of the downtown scene, like Brian-for-food-not-alcohol and Louise-and-the-overweight-guide-dog.)

There's this huge flying thing in my room and I'm not a happy camper right now.

Edit: 12 hours later. I'm still not a happy camper. I didn't want to deal with buzzy insect-thing last night, so I slept on the couch. Of course, cat had a wonderful time last night keeping me awake *grumbles*.

Went to help Michel move stuf from his gf's old apartment to his condo. What was supposed to be a 3 hour move, with only a few pieces of furniture and some boxes, morphed into a 7h move that filled most of a U-Haul cube van. Still, I don't mind giving them a hand. I know they'd to the same for me. Still, I'm going to feel this one tomorrow… The low note of the night was when I realized that Isa had a non-allergy-friendly cat in her apartment and all her sofas were covered in cat hair… I'd kinda forgotten that I was allergic. I remembered the hard way. I'd forgotten how annoying it is to sneeze 10 times in a row.

I'm attracted to you to a point where it scares me, yet I want more.

Went to Hurleys for drinks with eniran last night, which hit the spot for both of us, as we both needed to talk. Lots of stuff happening these days, some good, some less. She looked over the gift I'm sending petkatyyazzick and pronounced it good. She also looked over the barwench and pronounced her good (rowr!) Got home, ate pasta goodness and mainly putzed around the apartment and played with the cat.

Got into the office at a decent time – I've actually been really good about coming into the office on time for the last month or so – and got some work done. Went walking with emjayne today, which is always a source of enjoyment. Went shopping for undies, which is the second time in two days I've been in a lingerie store. I think I'm developing a fetish :D

Went to McGill to see a client, which went ok, and then to the McIntyre to see the dean. He wasn't there again today, damnit. That's twice this week I've tried to get in touch with him *pout*. Meh, it's been a good day overall.

I've been in a very good mood recently, as a few of you know. I blame Katy for that :P It's all her fault. She makes me feel good. To exacerbate the situation, she just told me that she's going to confirm her tickets to come over here in October some time next week. I mean, how can I guy maintain a sour disposition when people around him keep giving him reasons to do a happy dance in the office and scare his coworkers silly?
