A housewarming encourages a housewarming...
After a fab nite at the Aussie bar on Friday...the rest of my weekend was spent enjoying the lovely festivities of Scott's housewarming party.....and yes...ladies and gentleman...Scott moved into his condo nearly a month AFTER I moved into mine...and still....my place is empty..and his place is suave, painted, furnished and filled with normal-people stuff! Why its taking me so long?? I honestly don't know...I do believe that carrying things on the subway alone is a contributing factor..as well as lack of funding....and..let's be real people..I'm a lazy mofo. But at least his housewarming has given me motivation and encouragement to FINALLY get my place together for my own housewarming!! Yay!
In any case, good times were had by all at the housewarming party..here are some pics:
Mon and host, Scott
Me, Stepfordgrl n Dre

The host...opening his presents...thanks for the gift advice fake e, it was a success!
Aussie invasion??
It seems like you can get out of Oz..but can never get the Oz out of you...or get it to stop following you around! Hit up
Filthy McNasty's on King Street on friday nite with Big K and his crew for a farewell...and it seems that the pub caters to Aussie party-goers...yes that's right...Naiqueen manages to find the only bar in all of Toronto full of Aussies (wearing yellow Oz cricket jersies and all!)....am I just a magnet for them? Do they secretly KNOW that I can't stop missing/thinking about Oz so they follow me around the city to rub it in my face?? And why is every bar-back in every pub in this city a hot scruffy Oz boy? Can anyone explain this phenomenon? Ugh....I just want it out of my system....let me forget ppl..please!
In loving memory...
Said goodbye to an old friend from the past last week....I hope you find the peace you were searching for Andy Ham....you will be missed...
Oh such grace..oh such beauty
So
OK Go in concert?....just as fab as in their videos....went to check their concert out last night at the
Mod Club with little becs and Big K...good times were had by all...
French Kicks opened for them...interesting band....to say the least..too tired to write today....as of this week...I'm officially the senior writer for the corporate affairs team at that bank I work at....and as a result of this new position..i have to start coming in an hour earlier for work...so i'm running on about 4 hrs sleep now....and would love to be back in my bed...damn you concert for starting so late! rock concerts are definitely not conducive to those who work...but oh so worth it..
When is a relationship actually a relationship?
When you're traveling...and get involved in a relationship...is it actually a relationship? or a fling? I was having this conversation with someone the other day....and told them about a relationship I had while traveling..and their first reaction was "oh...so you mean it was a fling!"....and that made me think..when you're living overseas...your mind and mentality is still in vacation mode....so when you're involved with someone and in that state of mind....is it really nothing more than just a vacation fling that lasted a little longer that it should have? is it possible to have a relationship...while you're on "vacation"? hmmmm....this adds immense potential to my already fling-filled dating resume...

Harvey's..it really is a beautiful thing...
Today marks a very special occasion...for the first time in over a year...I indulged in a Harvey's Original Cheeseburger...with all the fixings I love...yes that's right...all you healthy wheat-germ-shooting tofu-eating yoga-ing people can kiss my big fat brown ass because I LOVED every single moment of it. Harvey's burgers were the one burger place I sorely missed during my time in Oz.... and I think I had put off my re-introduction to them long enough...and what a fabulous experience it was...
mmmm buuurger..On a brighter note...I found this interesting article today while perusing on msn.com....its sums up the kind of mentality the writer thinks one should have when dealing with a break-up..and its fabulous..and its everything i've been preaching to friends of mine dealing with break-ups for the last few months...*see miltee....its everything we talked about the other nite!*..but really..i feel like it speaks the truth and it really is as simple as that....sometimes you just have to take the bull by the horns and re-gain control of your life...anyways...anyone dealing with a bad break-up..give it a read...its quite interesting!

Discouraging single life?
Are delivery services trying to tell us young, urban, single professionals that there may be something wrong with our way of life? I don't understand that, when you buy something, or order some kind of service and you try to arrange for its delivery..they tell you that their hours of operation are anywhere between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. So basically this means..there'd better be someone home during the weekday or else you ain't gettin your shit. Now...correct me if I'm wrong...but most people...work. And most people....have a 9-5 schedule...correct me if I'm wrong. So....in this case...if you're single...and you work...and you can't exactly take a day off every time you need something delivered...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?! It seems that these companies are still stuck in a time-period where most people were married by the time they were buying furniture for their own place...and that most homes were single-income homes...so what..the WIFE is supposed to be at home to open the door? What are people who don't have wives to sit at home and open the door supposed to do when they need something delivered? In this day and age...where most people buy homes when they're still single..and even if people are married...they are dual-income homes....you'd THINK that delivery companies would catch on to the fact that perhaps an evening and weekend delivery schedule is a little more with our times...but...please do correct me if I'm wrong...
