61st - painkiller

conversation 01
"hey, how was your weekned?" - great - "did you have sex?" - no, i didn't get around to that - "why not?" - i was um, busy - "that's not a good reason" - i'm sorry? - "you're twenty. you should be having sex all the time" - silence - "there's a whole mall upstairs full of pretty girls. go have sex!" - i'm working, right now. maybe later

conversation 02
"why don't you have a a girl friend?" - i don't know. because i work about a thousand hours a week and she would feel neglected? - "are you a homosexual?" - no, i don't think so. - "what you mean, you don't think so?" - i'm not - "so, why aren't you have lots of sex?" - umm

i work with all older folk and i find it a wee disturbing how interested and concerned they are about my sex life and the lack of one. i'm constantly being questioned about it. it's worse when they start pulling other people into the conversations. is this normal workplace discussion?

pictures [above] - this is me on my way to the dentist [left] to get my wisdom teeth pulled and me later that night [right]. my dentist is friggin wicked. he did four wisdom teeth and a filling in one hour. and i basically have no swelling and feel pretty okay. i was sore for a few hours but that was it. everyone kept telling me i'm gonna be swollen like a chipmunk in the morning and stuff like that. he [the dentist] called me later in the evening to check up on me and i asked him about the potential swellings and he's like, "i'm good dentist. there will be no swelling" and there isn't.

i've got pimples in my eyebrows. well, two of them. how messed up is that?

i'm having hunger pains. the last solid thing i ate was yesterday morning around 9am. pancakes with sameera at markham station. sameera drove me to my dentist appointment so we figured we grab breakfast on the way because i was jonsing for some pancakes and the dentist told me to have a heavy breakfast since i won't be able to eat for a while afterwards. news - i got all my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and got a filling fixed.

i was driving home from downtown and i was talking to a friend of mine when i happened upon this absolutely gorgeous red ducati 999s. and i was kinda staring and probably drooling a little out of the side of my mouth. so i tell my friend about it. my friend says...

conversation 03 [abridged]
"ok, calm yourself. you seem a bit aroused by this" - ahem, a little - "that's disgusting, *name* - what? - "you're turned on by a motorcycle!" - failing to see the issue here - "you're a human being. you should be turned on by other human beings! no bikes!" - but it's a ducati 999s! a red one! i would have sex with that if it were possible and raise our little human/ducati hybrid children. - "you have issues." - you know, its normal to be aroused by a piece of pretty machinery. - "uh, no it's not" - pretty sure it is - "no, it's gross. you're a human. you should be turned on my other humans. not by some machine" - i don't see why i can't do both - "because it means some motorcycle is more boner-worthy than a human being" - sometimes...

this went on for a while. so, opinions?

pictures [left] - i'm going to start a new thing called "caboose's people" i've already got some awesome things to post here. guys, feel free to add stuff to this category.

so, here's this blog's winner. i was at yorkdale mall a few days ago and i was in the parking lot grabbing some stuff from my car, when i see this woman pull up and park. i had my camera in the car so it only seemed appropriate i share this with you people.

before reading forward, look at the two pictures and see if you can figure out why she's one of caboose's people.

did you see it? if not, look at picture number one. you can see she's parked across two parking spots. however, if you walk around the car, you can see she is in fact parked over four parking spots.

why people like her have nice cars like this very pretty purple lexus is beyond me.

yes, it's a chick. i'm not assuming it's a chich, i saw get out of the car when she parked and left.

my sister's coming to from philly today. they were supposed to be here by 10am. that was the plan as my sister put it, however this is my sister so they're going to be about three to five hours late. i love how her husband, who before my sister was always on time and pretty anal about the whole thing has kinda learned to deal with being late more often than not. married people are weird.

alright, i'm going to go. heaven forbid my sister [who lived in this house] see the place a little unorganized. parents are so strange. stranger still, my other sister.

picture [above] - how is this not boner worthy?

be good.

p.s. i demand people come visit me and bring me cold things. not because i really want cold things but because it seems like the right thing to do. comics would be acceptable as well.a

60th - "parental responsibility" is not a dirty word

NOTE - I was supposed to add in the pics for this one but my cable is missing, so I will add them in later.

how the hell is 7up all natural? think about this. 7up is a carbonated beverage [pop] - this would be one of those cases of using the word 'natural' very loosely, isn't it? i understand, that technically everything is natural, but this is just taking advantage of that technicality.

i'm going to quickly recap the past 2 and a half weeks. not in order but whatever. lets start:
my car broke down on the highway. got towed. fixed. 350 bucks. stupid pile of shit - we were waiting for a truck delivery which was about 4 hours late and we found out the guy tipped over the truck because he was running late. you have to really stupid to tip over a truck. we're talking those big ass trucks that makes the truck from terminator 2 look like a hot wheel - i've been very very thirsty lately. been drinking between 5 and 9 liters of water a day. pee is still yellow - vinita is sick and a punk - sitting in the mall, this dude came and sat beside me, took his hat off, put his face in and starting crying. i mean CRYING crying. wailing. not whimpering. uncomfortable - went to wonderland. fun! found game thing involving climbing a later. will probably lose a lot of money before winning it - saw district b13. french movie. very good - saw cars. pixar movie. damned fantastic - got my camera in the mail! hurry! - bought a bunch of books. nothing new here - had a strange discussion with my family over dinner regarding cannibalism and which type of people we would eat. by family, i mean the kids of the family. not my parents and siblings. i would eat someone from argentina, between 20 and 26, medium build slightly on the soft side, vegetarian - odder discussion concerning buying second hand things which lead to beads and onto other stuff - caboose is still reading perfume. it's been more than a week. it's like 200 pages - tried black cheery vanilla coke. i like it! - still no news on this camping plan, which sucks - body hurts due to very fun day yesterday. father's day picnic. read more on that below - end recap

yesterday was an awesome day - all of my body hurts. yesterday, we took all the dad's out for a father's day picnic since today's weather is going to be total crap [more on that later]. we haven't picnic'd in a while since last summer was the weddings. anyway we managed to get in a few hours of excessive exercise. me and sarah left the picnic to get supplies [water balloons, giant rubber container, cookies, candy]. then we setup water fight number one. by this point mome was involved as well. taking the water balloon filled contained from the car [we used the car to transport the container back and forth] to our picnic area was very hard. but we made it up there and everyone had fun. the adults got involved and everything. fun way to cool everyone [water was cold] off. then we played ultimate frisbee for about an hour which was exhausting. then we left and setup round two of the water fight which took place just as everyone was starting to get the idea to leave. then all the kids [because we have no common sense] decided we're going to wonderland. as we got on the highway we decided to go to a local park instead and have a third water fight. so we did. the water was FREEZING. i mean freezing in the sense were you couldn't get used to it no matter how soaked you get. after we were good and wet and soaked, we took the wee ones home and the rest of us went home to change and shower. so gross: went home and jumped in shower and i literally felt slimy. then we all went for wings at the only place for wings, all star. edmonton won and tied the series

i know. i haven't blogged in like two weeks now. i'm sorry. all four of you who read my blog. i've been on this really screwed up thing where i've been tired every night by like 12am. really, really tired. i think it's something to do with the lack of reading this past week. i got hardly any reading done.

OH MY GOD! SPIDERMAN IS AN ASSHOLE! yesterday was new comic book day and in the marvel universe there's this civil war thing happening and there's a superhero registration act [think x-men mutant registration act] so that superheroes are responsible for their actions. the poster-boy for this campaign is none other than peter parker. yesterday, he outed himself. that's right. everyone in the marvel universe knows that spiderman is peter parker. why the hell would he do that? - this better not be like that dead superman shit in 98. OMFG! that was eight years ago! how damned old am i?

PHOTO CONTEST - i was talking to harley and i've begun work on my photo contest site. in the mean time. ugly green shirt contest. find ugly green shirts and send to me at sixth.lie@rogers.com. ugliest shirt gets prize that is yet to be determined.

i just picked up my sister from the mall and i was making a right turn at the light. i was about to make my turn when this old dude changes lanes in the intersection and almost hits me. then he actually had the nerve to slow down and swear at me. i guess since he's a thousand years old and not long for this world, he was in a hurry.

ok, about the parental responsibility thing. i'm absolutely sick and tired of these fucking useless hack parents and hillary clinton and that other asshole, what's his name, joe lieberman. PARENTS - it's not the media's job. if you think video games are too violent or that cartoons are too violent. don't let your kid play them or better yet, teach them that it's just a video game. not real life. if you're not willing to take part in your kids life and keep an eye on what they're doing and teach them right from wrong. don't be surprised when they're getting arrested for selling drugs, theft or going on a murderous rampage in their high school. your parental neglect is not my fault. it's your fault. you fix it. don't expect the government or the media to. i don't see why you lack of parenting ability has to affect the rest of us. take care of your own fucking children. POLITICIANS - do you honestly not have more important things to do than to keep gong after video game manufactures? you know, maybe the war, health care, child care, something. is this the best idea you assholes can come up with to rally those half-wit parents who just need something to blame other than themselves for the way their kids turned out? ESRB - there is a god damned rating system on games. it's called the ESRB [Electronic Software Rating Board] maybe if you pay attention to your kids and pay attention to what they're buying with their allowance money you might notice that on every video game there is a very clear rating, telling you what kind of game it is and what kind of age group it is intended for. GAMERS - most gamers are normal. yes, there are some messed up, over obsessive ones, but those types are these in every group. think religion fanatics. think star wars fanatics. think george bush [war fanatic, if you didn't catch that one]. i've played violent video games and watched violent movies my whole live. i giggle like a school girl when i play grand theft auto and i'm walking around a fictional city running over old ladies and killing hookers. but i know that it's just a video game and in real life, this kind of behavior is not the best idea.

be good

p.s. i had a piece of double bubble gum and there was a fortune inside and it said, "you're old enough to better" that's not a fortune! so, here's my question for the blog. "you're old enough to know better than to . . . "

59th - lets go sky diving!

picture [above] - this here is 2000 bucks. i'm going to say it again just so you know it's not a typo. 2000 bucks. my wallet or purse [if i was ever so inclined to carry one] has never contained 2000 dollars. this is sameera's bday present to herself because everyone else rather buy themselves a car or a wicked cool camera or an xbox 360 along with a decent size HD TV. but not sameera. in her defense. she really wanted it and saved up her money and got it herself. but still. todays pictures are brought to you by sameera's camera, from sameera's bday party, which took place on may 19th, 2006 at the elephant and castle.

"did you read about his mother?", i asked. without skipping a beat, she replied, "the one who gave birth to him?" 5 bucks to whomever guesses the person who said this.

its 3am and i can't sleep. why can't i sleep? oh, many reasons. for starters, it's damned hot tonight. other than that, i just can't seem to get to sleep.

picture [left] - this was my date for the night. this is him being sexy for me because he's good like that. he took me on some totally messed up route to get where we needed to go. i kept thinking he's a serial killer taking me to some strange far-out place to kill me.

i'm pissed at shiv. i spoke to her a few days ago and she told me to read this book called the kite runner by khaled hosseni. shiv has really good taste in books so i picked it up. ok, the book is really really good but it's so bloody depressing. i actually put the book down at one point and refused to read it for two days. no, i didn't cry. you weren't wondering but i'm sure shiv was. it's a really good book, but it's so sad.

today was asmar's birthday. she's now 22. i know, she doesn't look ancient but she really is. anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASMAR! i missed the whole cake-cutting deal today because i was at workie so that sucked. i really wanted some of that cake. mmm...cake.

we went to a baseball game on saturday. it was a slow game but it was fun anyway. there was cotton candy. that made the whole thing alright. it was four bucks which is a rip off, but it came in three colours. however, two of the three colours were pink. i also had a hot dog. it was also four bucks. but it was good. it was tiny though. expensive little weenie. toronto won. then we went for dinner.

picture [right] - me and iqbal after about two minutes of being there. i'm not sure what i'm doing with my tongue. don't ask.

i ordered the jerk'd chicken sandwich. normally, i can handle spicy food but i lasted about two bites of this thing and had to give up. it was so damned spicy and it was a white-food restaurant. since when can white people eat that stuff? i ended up eating half of mome's sandwich which was good. then we went to see X3.

i'm not sure how i feel about this movie. it was good. it had lots of potential but it was just kinda bleh. it wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. so far, three of the five major movies of the summer have been disappointing. MI3 was okay. Davinci Code was dragged on. X3 was. . . i'm no sure what. Pirates looks kinda dumb and i'm afraid for superman. [no need to get weird harley, that's all i'm going to say regarding super]. momin makes a good point. if superman returns isn't good, then brian singer is responsible for screwing up two comic-movie franchises.

yesterday was fun - we played video games. then we played tennis! amaan [he's never played before but he got the hang of things pretty darn quickly] came. that was fun. first game of the summer and it was actually a good one. i bought me my own racquete finally. then we have a BBQ and i had something funny because this morning, my stomach was not happy with me.

picture [left] - the birthday girl. i chose this picture because i took it.

for the past few years now, i've noticed i have trouble with the words "uniformed" [always the same. as in character or degree] and "uninformed" [not having, showing or making use of information] when i'm reading. i also mix them up. i also end up reading about the "uninformed police officer" and i dwell on it for pages and pages wondering why was he uninformed. what didn't he know and i lose track of other shit and have to end up going back to where i read the stupid word only to find it said "uniformed". it's a really annoying.

ok, i'm leaving now. night. i'll add in the pictures from sameer'a birthday party later. i'm going to try and sleep, again. night folks.

picture [below] - last but not least. this picture looks totally inappropriate! thank you to iqbal for taking it. jerk. i look like i got caught looking at something i shouldn't be. however, whats happening is, i made fun of her and she threatened to hit me and i'm giving the "mm-hmm" sizing-up look.

58th - white bread, WHAT!?

nino asked us this a few weeks ago and it's still stuck in my head.

roughly quoted - people who prefer white bread over whole grain, etc. when you're ordering food and they ask you whether you want white bread or brown bread. do you ever say brown, just so they don't judge you?

that's all. i expect comments.

57th - SIDEWAYS, FART!

picture [above] - mome, singing like nobody's there. i think he's singing some useless shit from the eighties. or a backstreet boy song. i'm hoping it's a backstreet boy son

someone of you might wanna skip this first paragraph, here. i just had the longest pee ever. i actually had time to get a wee concerned about it while it was happening. at least i'm getting enough liquids. maybe a wee too much.

we saw davinci code on saturday. biggest disappointment since the crucifixion. yes, i use that phrase for a lot of things. but seriously. i read the first few chapters of the book and i caught on to the pace and everything and yes, it seemed like a good read but i was a bit pissed at the dan brown because he's a sell out bitch. not that there's anything wrong with being a sell out bitch. if you offered me a hundred bucks to make a movie of something i wrote, i'd let you. as long as i get a percentage of ticket and merchandising sales and some creative control. but anyway, the movie was so dragged on. i mean, it just went on forever and it had very little character development. and silas(sp) was damned cool and they ever screwed up his back story. comon, ron howard, WTF? he wrote the book, knowing it was going to be made into a movie. he made it so damned easy for you. he even suggested the actors he wanted! [tom hanks wasn't it by the way] and you fudged it! the only good bits of the movie were amina getting freaked out for no reason when silas appeared. it wasn't even so much that he appeared, he was standing there and he came into focus over 2 seconds.

so far, the summer block busters have been let downs. MI3 was meh. davinci code was unexciting. xmen comes out this upcoming weekend. brian singer is not on the project. i have terrible fears regarding this movie.

the biggest news of davinci code was that saddaf came. she's such a punk. we're all set to go and she's sitting there with her parents, like a punk. not coming. i had to go in and drag her out. seriously, such a punk.

picture [right] - this is just for shiv. me looking fat. i look so soft around the edges. what the hell. i've been going to the gym!! sitting beside harley is making me look like even fatter by contrast. do i look constipated? note, the really smiley chick is pamela, harely's younger clone.

first off. lets congratulate house [the pregnant woman i've been teasing for the past few months *i will continue to call her house because i like the name* who is actually the same pregnant woman my sister beat up *while pregnant*] and rehan [who i have no nick name for] and the rest of the my family and the rest of houses family on the birth of jibran rehan *last name*. born on may 13th, 2006 at around 845. his inability to wait half an hour caused me to lose the small pool we had running. at the time jibs was being ushered into the world, i was having a salad, awaiting my rainbow trout which was quite good. reem had the butter chicken and harley, mome and pamela had very uninteresting bowtie pasta with chicken [minus harley who had no chicken] - the service was terrible but branden was still tipped well even though harely went all school teacher on us and said he's not being tipped. then we went karaoke-ing. which is definitely not my thing but i had fun. which was weird because i just watched other people sing so one would assume i'd be bored. i thought it was going to be bored out of my skull too, but i wasn't. go figure. it's fun watching other tone deaf people and reema [who is blatantly not tone deaf] sing. i also met steen [who is not a lesbian - i have no idea when i implied this] and logic by me, people i've harassed online.

picture [left] - mome and the birthday girl. you may not have noticed, she's got a thing for super and butts. don't ask.

so 13th. happy birthday jib [house couldn't wait because she wanted to squeeze in this mothers day too] 14th. happy birthday sameera and happy mothers day to all who that applies to. 15th. happy birthday harley.

note - i just remembered, harley sent me pics from her birthday. so i do have some pictures to post! hurray!

i know its been a bloody era since i've blogged but fear not - here i am. it's actually only been a touch over a month. here are my excuses. 01. ducky, my computer is dead and i haven't had the time to bring him back among the living. [sidenote, ducky is among the few pieces of technology that is male because it's reliable and does what you tell it, unlike most other pieces of technology which are invariably, female] - 02. my laptop [female] is gonna back to it's maker [HP] to have whatever issues it's having resolved. 03. i've been a little lazy. 04. this is my 5th start at blogging this. 05. a lot of shit has gone down. A LOT. so this is going to be long. long and pictureless. sorry, this reason goes back to reason 01 and 02. enjoy.

picture [right] - harley upset because the younger mome is rubbing it in her face. old age is cruel. especially when you both realize i'm ten years younger than both of you. geezers.

lets begin with something that i have a feeling is going to become a weekly mention. i hate my car. well, not so much i hate my car but i'm really considering replacing it with something else because quite frankly the stupid pile of shit is costing me most than a new car would. in the past few weeks, i've had my exhaust, two of my windows, the pipe between that catalectic converter and exhaust, the battery and some other stuff i don't remember replaced. the only things that basically need replacement are the wipers and the tired and then this car is good for another few years of abuse. hopefuly, those years won't be with me. as a note, my car is free game to whomever wants it, once i get a replacement. but that won't be for a while.

before i forget, i have to mention this. mome sent this email and it's just so bizarre.
"My editor just walked in and told us that one of our reporters is at the airport at terminal 3 dropping off family. They were hungry and went to the swiss chalet that is in the terminal and guess what they found out THE SWISS CHALET IS OUT OF CHICKEN!!!! Isnt that hilarious? Hahahaha. How can a restaurant based around chicken be out of it? So funny."

oh, so everyone who wants to help me get a new ipod, i require one dollar on a credit card, and you have to sign up for something for a week [which is the dollar] and then cancel your membership. i need five people to do this. if you do decide to do it. sign up for the galleria one. you get a 25 dollar canadian tire gift card and you can cancel within a week. if you're interesting, find me on msn because i'm not typing in all the random research because i'm damned lazy. sixth_lie@hotmail.com - oh, here's the link for the ipod thing.

ok, this was news about two weeks ago. its not really anymore. my basement. the area of the house where i hermit out has been going through a cleaning expedition, led by my sister because she was sick and tired of me saying i'll do it on the weekend. when the weekends arrived, i suddenly had things to do, which is strange because i'm generally a loner. ok, you have to make a slight leap of faith for that to fit but anyway, we're getting off topic. my basement basically has stuff everywhere and most of it isn't really garbage, it's just stuff. so i walk in last week and the place is spotless. my mom and sister cleaned the whole place. i was in semi-shock about it. i'll post pictures once my camera arrives.

speaking of cameras. everyone knows my sony v1 that have and love. well, a few months ago. new years eve to be exact. some evil nutjob woman [my sister] threw a snowball at my camera and that was the end of that. this is just to announce, that camera has moved on. it's gone to shiv who secretly coveted my camera and if she can get it fixed, she can have it. i bought me a new v1 off ebay, which im expecting this week. hurray for cameras! now i just need to get my rebel xt, with all the required stuff for it. anyone wanna give sixth 2500 bucks?

i joined a gym! can you believe that? i'm so morally opposed to formalized exercise. technically, im morally opposed to any sort of structured anything, especially ones that require you wear suits. anyway, i joined a gym. i've been like six times now. its not as bad as i thought it would be but still, it's a gym. my goal - to be able to kick shivali's ass when she gets back from india. be ready, darkie.

so, shiv and i got into an argument because i said "INDIA?!?! it's full of indians!" - somehow this was offensive. there is something wrong with indian chicks. yea, punk - i'm going there. you're a punk, a darkie punk!

so, so my list has is as follows.
01. andy
02. abbas
03. me
04. not mentioning
05. cousin from the motherland.

ok, so you really only need to be concerned with the top 3. mome has however, been making great strides to climb up this list.

sameera's bday party was this friday. i was horribly late. i took iqbal as my date. i like iqbal. we went to elephant and castle. they have blech food. after dinner, we went for coffee which was more fun than the dinner. their version of blue cheese is disgusting. ok, all i remember about that night is being really really damned cold. also, if sameera sends me those pics. i can post them, here. i should call and ask her. one minute. she's not answering her cell. i left voicemail. so, i'll add those pics to this blog when i get them.

this is worth mentioning. sameera owns a purse that cost more than my car. like, double the value of my car. in her defense, she really wanted it for two years and collected for it and got it. but still. 2 grand for a purse. you're out of your mind. that money could have spent towards buying me an xbox 360 and a HD tv. i told my mom, she replied, "is she crazy?!?! it's probably because of the black boyfriend of hers" [background story - i was talking to sameera one day on the phone and my mom asked how she's doing and i told mum she's having a fight with her boyfriend. mum replied, "she has a boyfriend?" to which i replied, "yea. he's black" - since then, poor sameera has been shit-listed by my mom.] i had no choice. i had to tell her there's no black boyfriend. i got smacked. she does that a lot. even when i don't do anything. it's her way of being affectionate. it's a lot better than the ammonia. [note - really joking]

last week, me and vin went out because i needed shoes, a haircut and a manicure. it's good to have a best friend who you can drag around while she's sick to do this kinda stuff with. we all love you vin. well, i do. i can't speak for everyone else. i'm sure shiv does too, and rosemina and that fu*ker, what-his-face. anyway, the shoes are pretty. white pumas with brown. the haircut has been well received. even smuffy, who has a think about fresh haircuts didn't say anything, which in her case is a compliment. the manicure however was kinda crappy. i was very disapointed. [and no, this is not why i'm on the list]

picture [left] - this is before karaoke-ing. from the left. pamela, harley, me, reem, mome. dinner at jack astors. a resturaunt i really dislike. this was the only time i've had good food there. australians ranbow trout. good stuff.

i got books! i was talking to shiv a few days ago and she told me to go to buy the kite runner by khaled hosseeni, so i did. i started reading is and i'm only like 15 pages in but it's very good. the problem is, its one of those books you need to be completed into and i'm currently reading about eight books. so i'm shelving it until i finish up the majors and then i'll go full into kite runner. i aldo got jpod yesterday [thanks caboose] by douglas coupland. it about a bunch of people working for a game developer in BC. i wonder who that could me? *coughE* *coughA* any ideas? oh, i also got mirrormask by gaimen which is wicked cool.

right now i am reading.
a dirty job - moore [very good. will be done by tonight, i hope]
the truth - prachette [moving along nicely]
prelude to foundation - asimov [yes again]
son of the witch - mcgregor [i just can't get into it]
wizards first rule - goodkind [yes, i'm still reading it. it's so damned boring]
fellowship of the ring - tolkien [yes, again]
endless nights - gaimem [so good]
faraway tree collection - blyton [childrens book. lots of fun]
kite runnner - hosseini [technically, i've started. shut up, shiv]
jhonny and the bomb - prachette [i read this in my car when i'm stuck in traffic]

ok. i really should get back to fixing my computer and watching lord of the rings and yes, i have a great social life. really. ok, i'm leaving now. im hungry.

be good

56th - why you bringing up old stuff?

ok - im posting this to cleanse ourselves of the previous blog which got a wee ew. this is going to be quick since i don't have actual time to blog. i'm blogging from work and we all just need to put said previous blog behind us. so here's the update on what’s been going on in my life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AMINA, NADIA, SARAH! [in that order] i think that's all of them. i could be way off. i'm sorry.

amina's birthday party - went paint balling. i have pictures. i had fun. a lot of people had anxiety issues. will post pictures later if i get the chance.

sarah's birthday - went to yuk yuks [comedy club] and penelope’s [restraint] DNA [lounge] and havana [lounge] - yuk yuks was funny although a bit graphic for that early in the evening. i had a fu*king 16 dollar salad with two pieces of shrimp and 4 scallops. wtf? - DNA was filled with the 35 to 40 year old crowd clinging to their youth. we walked in and britney spears was on and we saw a dude with a handlebar moustache. - havana was ok.

i'm tired and i'm hungry. i basically am at the point where i get up early in the AMs and go to work. i work and then i come home early in AMs. repeat. I have no weekend this week either.

shiv is gone. we're all very sad about this. she went to abu dhabi and india for four months. who vacations for four months. her excuse is she's going to work in india and she wants to see her family. pfft. family. yes, i know i see my family on what used to be a constant basis. now i barely see the people i live in the same house with. except for dad. he tends to be up in the morning and since hadia's married and not here, nobody is up at night but me. this summer is going to suck. i basically have vinita and caboose to hang out with. yea, that's real rewarding. im joking. don't get pissy.

also, i've got my family to hang with and they're generally pretty fun. house is having the baby this month and i'm not allowed to tease get anymore. sarah is going to the motherland but not before she gives me the bookdocks comics. i should really go visit the motherland. havent in 13 years.

sameera got called for jury duty, again! bwahahaha. she's younger than us and this is her third time.

so two weeks ago, i got my pile of shit car, fixed. i had to get the exhaust system replaced and got my driver side door fixed. the whole thing cost me a wee shy of two hundred bucks. then last week, monday i come out of work at aronud 3am to find my driver side door and driver side passenger door windows smashed. fu*kers didn't steal anything, just smashed my windows. another 200 bucks. then my cell died. as if that wasn't bad enough, i had to drive the broke piece of shit home during which i cop pulled me over for speeding and then mentioned, "did you know your windows are broken. there's glass everywhere" thank you genius. if it weren't for your brilliant policing abilities to point out the obvious, i would have never known. i was sitting on my road map book for no reason. i was wondering why it was so drafty. i didn't get a ticket. and then just because god hates me, it rained.

i used dad's car until mine got fixed. which basically eats gas. the 500km i drove on his car cost me about 100 bucks in gas.

i don't like this, "it's just zaffar" BS when i make fun of you or make a racist comment - i mean all the mean things i say to you people! cry, damnit!!

raza's coming! well, he's here now. he's been here for a week and a bit. i've spent the grand total of maybe three hours with him. i feel like such a prick for that. but he's busy studying for his exam, which is tomorrow. good luck raza! and i'm busy working.

remember i was all happy about gaining weight. well, it's all gone again. for the love of all things fraggable. what do i have to do to gain some weight. i went from my very proud 140 [my highest ever!] back to 117. i don't know where i stand now.

I got black suede adidas. they're gorgeous. i also got white and red puma from pinky for my birthday. i love them. i've only wore them once, but i'm always at work and they would get ruined. thank you pinky!

horror movies - whats scarier than a child? EVERYTHING! what the hell is wrong with movie execs. children aren't scary. old people are scary. angry pregnant women are scary. tentacle things are scary. children, not so much. make a horror movie without the little seven year old in a dress, or the eight year old boy who just stares at things.

ok, i better get back to work. i'll blog more later. but there's my update.
