Spock your fives!


I've got a cupboard with cans of food,
filtered water and pictures of you,
and I'm not coming until this is all over.

Have any of you seen the new Star Trek movie?
I'm young, so I never watched Star Trek on tv, but still, I greatly enjoyed the movie.
The special effects soundly thrash Avatar's "groundbreaking" visual special effects.
(fun review of Avatar here - serious review here)
Just saying.. Spock is pretty epic.
I found out how to "Spock" a five dollar bill last week.
What an adventure!


"In 2005, the Montreal Mirror described the hobby as the most joy to be had with the five-dollar bill since the illegal defacing of Laurier withSpock ears"
Not a CHANCE! Spocking is infinitely more fun.


Speaking of Spock..
He's pretty cool.

look through them, they're interesting.

Morning came when I was sleeping.

esterday.
Yesterday I had a small operation on my left great toe. I had my deeply ingrown toenail removed. Hopefully, I hope, that it will never come back. If it comes back, all this pain I'm in will have been worth nothing. This isn't the first time they've removed my toenail. This is the worst it's ever hurt. Last week they did the same to my right great toe. It's funny how quickly you forget how much pain there is involved in this.
I'm glad that I'll (hopefully) never have this problem again.
I'm thankful that after a few days, the pain will be gone and I'll never have to again experience this plague of three years.

The nurse wanted to have a good time with the roll of gauze. I didn't have the heart to stop her. She was most definitely enjoying herself.
They gave me Endocet for the pain. Endocet is an Oxycodone. An Opiate. Much like Morphine.
Hurray for Endocet.
Or not.
I only hope that it's enough to make work bearable. I work 12-8 today. I think it's a disposable shift. If she wants to, she might send me home early. Maybe. Maybe not. The problem is, I have too much pain for just a little bit of Endocet, that means, to work, I'll need to take a lot. If I take a lot, I'll be too high to work.
Hmmm..
A quandary.

It's only time

I'm looking for new pants. Black pants. Not Jeans. For work. 30-32 Waist, 32-34 Leg. Do you know where I can find such pants? I'm thinking Ebay.

I shaved today. I hate shaving. Do you hate shaving?
Do you find our beardless culture unmanly? where most people don't have beards? I think beards are manly. And Presbyterian.
Someday, when I'm a man, I'll grow a beard. I'm not concerned with how it will look. It will be beardly. Manly.

I work today 2:30-10. Everyone should visit me. See my smooth shaven face. Boy, that sounds weird. But it's not weird, is it?

A new friend of mine introduced me to The Magnetic Fields
This song is incredible, and you should listen to it.

It's Only Time
-
The Magnetic Fields

Why would I stop loving you
a hundred years from now?
It's only time.
It's only time.

What could stop this beating heart
once it's made a vow?
It's only time.
It's only time.

If rain won't change your mind,
let it fall.
The rain won't change my heart
at all.

Lock this chain
around my hand,
throw away the key.
It's only time.
It's only time.

Years falling
like grains of sand
mean nothing to me.
It's only time.
It's only time.

If snow won't change your mind
let it fall.
The snow won't change my heart,
not at all.

(I'll walk your lands)
I'll walk your lands
(And swim your sea)
And swim your sea

Marry me.
Marry me.

(Then in your hands)
Then in your hands
(I will be free)
I will be free

Marry me.
Marry me.

Why would I stop loving you
a hundred years from now?
