halloween shock

flynn called this morning:

"stinna, are you coming to church for the chili cook-off tonight?"

"yep -- i'm coming!"

"okay, and you have to wear your costume."

"oh. i don't have a costume."

[short pause]

"... you don't have *any* costumes??"

it's shocking, i know ...

cut off

i haven't been able to check my email for almost 24 hours now because they are upgrading the servers or something. i know it's saturday. but this is killing me.

fallin' for you - colbie caillat

i don't know but
i think i may be
fallin' for you
dropping so quickly
maybe i should
keep this to myself
waiting 'til i
know you better

i am trying
not to tell you
but i want to
i'm scared of what you'll say
so i'm hiding what i'm feeling
but i'm tired of
holding this inside my head

i've been spending all my time
just thinking about ya
i don't know where to
i think i'm fallin' for you
i've been waiting all my life
and now i found ya
i don't know where to
i think i'm fallin' for you
i'm fallin' for you

as i'm standing here
and you hold my hand
pull me towards you
and we start to dance
all around us
i see nobody
here in silence
it's just you and me

i'm trying
not to tell you
but i want to
i'm scared of what you'll say
so i'm hiding what i'm feeling
but i'm tired of
holding this inside my head

i've been spending all my time
just thinking about ya
i don't know where to
i think i'm fallin' for you
i've been waiting all my life
and now i found ya
i don't know where to
i think i'm fallin' for you
i'm fallin' for you

oh i just can't take it
my heart is racing
the emotions keep spinning out

i've been spending all my time
just thinking about ya
i don't know where to
i think i'm fallin' for you
i've been waiting all my life
and now i found ya
i don't know where to
i think i'm fallin' for you
i'm fallin' for you
i think i'm fallin' for you

i can't stop thinking about it
i want you all around me
and now i just can't hide it
i think i'm fallin' for you

i'm fallin' for you

ooohhh
oh no no
oooooohhh
oh i'm fallin' for you

friend suggestions

i don't know how facebook arrives at suggested friendships. well, some are obvious: my sister's friends -- hey, if i know my sister, it is possible i know her friends, too. others, i just don't see the link. let's just face it, facebook is amazing.

well, it took almost 3 years, but facebook finally decided i should be friends with pharmacy boy. interesting. apparently facebook is stalking me on my trips to the pharmacy.

umm, ignore.

put your records on - corinne bailey rae

three little birds, sat on my window.
and they told me i don't need to worry.
summer came like cinnamon
so sweet, little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
the more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
oh, don't you hesitate.

girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
you go ahead, let your hair down
sapphire and faded jeans, i hope you get your dreams,
just go ahead, let your hair down.

you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
don't you let those other boys fool you,
got to love that afro hair do.

maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
the more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
don't you think it's strange?

girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
you go ahead, let your hair down
sapphire and faded jeans, i hope you get your dreams,
just go ahead, let your hair down.

you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

'twas more than i could take, pity for pity's sake
some nights kept me awake, i thought that i was stronger
when you gonna realize, that you don't even have to try any longer?
do what you want to.

girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
you go ahead, let your hair down
sapphire and faded jeans, i hope you get your dreams,
just go ahead, let your hair down.

girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
you go ahead, let your hair down
sapphire and faded jeans, i hope you get your dreams,
just go ahead, let your hair down.

oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

mission: accomplished

i just realized that i have gravely forgotten to make a very special announcement. as you will note, this news is long overdue. and i apologize to all who have been negatively impacted by my gross oversight. those closest to the subject were informed immediately, but i feel the need to give public recognition for this awe-inspiring achievement.

let it be known to all who are connected through this vast world wide interweb, that on saturday, july 22, 2010, my manager mark finally fulfilled his dream of becoming #3 on my google favourites.

it was at times a difficult, yea even arduous, battle that required his constant time and attention. and my patience. many long hours were spent reading accounting literature out loud, pontificating on remote accounting principles, and stretching out the smallest of insignificant small talk. with brazen disregard for phone call etiquette and cunning creativity mark persevered in finding reasons to call multiple times daily, from the wee hours of the morning to long after what should be bed time. yet, despite his travail, at times i was unsure that his focused effort would pay off.

but triumph was destined to be his.

congratulations, my friend: you have done well.

a meta

my goal this week is to bring my lunch to work everyday. for two reasons, mostly:

  1. i am cheap.

  2. i have zero self control when french fries are on the menu.

so far, so good.

but, it's only tuesday ...
