baby carrots! i love them.

also - spring! finally. i just forget about how great it is. every day is just so nice that it's impossible to be cranky. Not that i'm ever cranky... i'm a bit behind schedule, but i finally saw my first robin this weekend, so spring is now official. i actually made a funny squealing noise when i saw my first crocuses on saturday.

Two other lame things that i did this weekend:
1. was balancing a bunch of things on the edge of the desk as i burned cds... they all slid off onto the floor and i somehow managed to cut myself pretty badly on a CD... bled copiously and thought about what an idiot i am.
2. while polishing furniture, I pressed the nozzle to spray the lemon stuff and discovered that i'd picked it up the wrong way and the spray flew out and hit me in the eyes. man. i'm a fool.

both of these things had me cracking up in rooms by myself, which is always a bit funny anyway. [funny "odd" or funny "haha"? both, i guess]

i like it when my sister emails me and asks me why i am calling myself an idiot and tells me that i'm not. that's the kind of earnestness i love: insistence in the face of overwhelming evidence.

the weakerthans/constantines show on friday was CanRock to the Max but i loved it anyway. And I loved it despite the Makeout Couple in front of me, AirBand Man to my left (expertly "playing" every instrument along with the band), Drunken Dancing Man and Singalong Man behind me. The Weakerthans must be the happiest band to ever grace a stage.. .didn't see that coming.

fingers crossed for Stars tickets this Thursday. Not going to happen, but i can hope. I've got my little feelers out to all the hip-("i''m so not a hipster")-sters i know.

i'm not going to grad school next year. I'm going to put it off and take a mat leave contract here and just live in toronto and not be a hipster for a while. I'm so happy with this decision. feels right in my stomach. Granted, these last months have been full of me being wrong about things that felt right in my stomach, but if you can't go with your gut, what else is left?
