I dropped my mp3 player on the way to work, and it died. A horrible, horrible death. I loved the stupid thing...while 5 gigs was getting cramped, it was chugging along fine with little complaint after a year and a half.

I mean, I know where I live, but since we moved here in the fall we have yet to experience Tourist Season. I feel the need for the capitals, it makes it more ominous, more like a big event.

Normally I avoid getting up to go to work for 7, but me, Bellan, and two friends are headed to Toronto for a comic book convention after work. There's nobody there I want to see, but the lure of cheap graphic novels and cool toys is more than I can handle!

Really, that could have been an Orthodox Jew OR a cat in heat. Tomorrow: Easter dinner #2, at our friend Shanni's house. Shanni's in Alberta, so we didn't want to say no to her lonely parents.

I was never a huge ninja turtles fan to begin with, but it wasn't torture. The whole thing was eclipsed with the fact that before the movie started I discovered my favourite brit pop boy band from way back, Take That, reformed. !!!!! Sans Robbie Williams, of course.

Work, sleep, tv, KISS-opoly, work, Paper Mario. Rinse, lather, repeat! We saw Reign Over Me last night, which was excellent.

I ended up spending $140 guilt free on a skirt, 4 tops, and two necklaces. Yesterday I stopped into Future Shop after work and picked up the Dixie Chicks documentary, Shut Up & Sing, as well as the third season of Facts of Life.

I was recently given a new responsibility, and as is their way instead of getting a raise I got a new desk. And while I relish the desk space, I hate being so close to my supervisor, who spends most of the day on the phone talking obnoxiously loud.

I bought my first digital camera! After researching on the 'net, I settled on the Fuji Finepix F20:I decided this was the one I wanted last week, only to have it disappear from the Future Shop website sometime this past week.

Woo! I had a feeling, since my colds never start in my throat, but I tried to ignore that little voice in the back of my head. I ended up going to a clinic on Thursday after spending most of the day being miserable and not feeling any better.

It was fun to get dressed up for a change, instead of my usually schleppy clothes. I managed to get a horrendous run in my pantyhose, and had to wrestle it off in a tiny bathroom stall while tipsy.

They're foreign--possibly East Indian--and constantly talk at the top of their voices in whatever non-English language they speak.
