The Da Vinci Code and other musings

Before I talk about anything else, I urge all of you who have no read the Da Vinci Code to go to Shoppers Drug Mart ($7.99) or your local book selling store ($9.99) and buy the paperback version right away. I'm only about 120 pages in and I've already sworn at the book twice for playing with my mind. I've been reading this book for the past two nights until my eyes close uncontrollably. I hope to finish it by tomorrow night, although I really don't want it to end. I love these obsessions. And speaking of obsessions, I found this guy on ebay who sells vintage t-shirts and he's selling the shirt to the left. I think it's nifty.

So I'm officially on the look-out for house number three. I can't afford to pay for a full year's rent in my current house when I'm only staying four months so I'll be starting my search this summer. I've pretty much experienced one of the worst housemates this year who managed to get under my skin on multiple ocassions (and you know how thick my skin is...like a freaking rhino) so I'll be glad to say bubye to her. She will nitpick every little thing you do and not only call you on it, but give you a snarky remark instead of dealing with the problem head-on. I was on the phone for about an hour with my mom and, when I went to the kitchen to put the phone back, she said 'is your jaw hurting?'. I took this as a witty remark so i said 'no my cheeks are hurting!', to which she replied 'you know, other people in this house need the phone sometimes.' I told her she could have very easily asked me for the phone, which was followed by 'yeah, like THAT'S worked before' (a comment directed towards the last time I was on the phone for a while trying to organize the Oasis concert). Now, this girl is 29 freaking years old. Number one, grow the fuck up. Number two, if you're so old and mature (at least she tries to act that way), come and talk to the person you have shared a wall with for seven months! And that was just one incident. Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to one more experience with total strangers. I found a place on Cole right next to the Hasty Market, but it was snatched up right away :(

I have nine days until exams start so I'm basically in crunch time/insane study mode. I've bought the necessary emergency snack foods (i.e. chips and salsa, pizza pops, microwavable dinners ... hehe I accidentally typed ships and salsa and microvawable before realizing the typos. ...funny...). I am not going to spend one second studying in the library, though. Just the thought of stepping foot in there makes me twitch. Instead, I have my window open, my laundry drying and smelling of the good kind of fabric softener in my room, and a can of coke next to me on my perfectly organized desk :) And my lighting is better than that 40 watt halogen 'lightbulb'. More like dimly lit bulb. Zingggggg.

I also have Chunky Soup which I plan on eating once I finish this post. I also picked up some green apples because I hear they're perfect to eat at around 10am and that will carry me right through to lunch.

Things are going well with Kerri. She came up last weekend and we studied and chatted and watched Office Space. The only problem is that our entire relationship will be long distance. She goes to Waterloo and will be working in Oakville this summer. Although Oakville is only about a twenty minute drive, it's still not too close. Regardless, we'll do the best we can and hopefully make it work for as long as possible. She's really random and plays along with my retardedness :)

Baseball has begun and the Jays will be contenders this year, making every game entertaining. Sarah, I really mean it. I know I say that every year, but I really really mean it this year. Our offense is explosive and our pitching matches up with almost every other team. It's also a sign that summer has pretty much arrived (14 degrees seems like a heatwave today).

I can't think of much else right now. Oh, read the Da Vinci Code!!
