bursting at the seams
I feel like I'm bursting at the seams. Mega change lately. Getting a new home. Got a new car. Quitting an old job. I can't wait for the summer because I'll be working less and living more. I'm so positively chuffed with the world right now. This morning I had to wait for 5 skytrains to pass until I could hop on. It didn't bother me a bit because I walked to the intersection of hell in the sun and felt all nostalgic for my neighborhood. Oh well. C'est ca. I feel like an overstuffed pillow of glee. Busting at the hem with stupid grins. I know - cheesy. If you knew my family, especially my dad's side plus my mom, you'd know that I come from a long line of cornballs. So humour me.
Things I can't get enough of lately:
- Working on the patio at the MG
- My boy's new abode and his lack of gorilla room mate
- Arcade fire (so 2004 I know, but so good, best quebecois export since Trudeau himself)
- My fox
- Zach Braff (I'm going to rent Chicken Little for godsakes just cause he's in it)
- The thought of spending my birthday in Merritt with my high school girlfriends
- Taking the #9 - its going to be a thing of the past very very soon.
- The peacefulness, actions and folklore of babies - Molly, twins Ben (even when you're pukey) and Clara, plus my coworker's nameless baby boy who was born hours after going to a Haisla ceremonial event.
- Cherry blossoms
- My friends - even when I miss their birthdays and never communicate with them except for knitting emails and funny forwards and reading their blogs or on dizzying breakfast/ dinner/ art gallery dates.
- Tony Bennett - yes they old coot's coming to town and I'm saving my pennies to go see him.
- A Change of Tongue by Antjie Krog - her prose is poetry. Reading her soliloquies on the transformation in South Africa is like eating whipped butter on my grandma's fresh bread. It's a week overdue from the library and I can't seem to return it.
- The fact that my soon-to-be-former colleagues are being extra super sweet and helpful and supportive of the fact that I'm leaving them for nothing at all except what my heart says.
- The fact that I'm regressing into slightly obsessive fandom of my youth. I heard NKOTB today and almost lost it.
- The sun - did I mention I'm solar powered?

knitting emails... is that me? or are you cheating on me with some other yarn pusher? does this mean you will come thursday? i certainly hope so.
missed you this weekend :(
I have such a crush on Zach Braff too... but he doesn't update his blog enough :)
Wanna check out Go Gastown Thursday? Then I have to go to knitting (of course) :)
Zach Braff is a chewish guy. From New Jersey. Starred in and wrote the seminal "Garden State". New apartment is potentially on Fir/13th. Its a penthouse - literally a bachelor stuck on top of the building. Bad for monsoons/hurricanes/tornadoes, good for BBQs as the deck is as big as the apartment.
he's also known for Scrubs... but I don't watch it... I stalk him http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/gardenstate/blog/
