my life's a dark comedy.
my mom always told me to go with my first hunch. that was how she made decisions, like which shoes to buy at biway. sometime that makes good sense, but in other situations it's not the wisest. i wish i had in this case, it would've saved me a lot of time, i just ended up at square one anyways.
hatch is nearly done. i like that people are eagerly anticipating it. it makes all the work we put into it worthwhile.
mayelin got a new job at st. mary's of the lake hospital. it was very sudden: told me on thursday at lunch about the possible job, thursday afternoon was called about interview, went for interview on friday morning, began new job on monday. so now i have no friends at work. i miss mayelin, but it's fine, it just means i read at lunch instead which i really enjoy. now that the weather is nice, i've started walking again which is lovely! probably my favourite part of the work day – it's like recess!
i filled the holes in my wall with toothpaste. minty fresh.
so glad to be back home.

When I was in grade seven or so, I had nightmares that I was in biway and couldn't leave because all the popular kids were right outside of it and, if there was one thing that everyone in my school could agree on, it was never be caught dead in biway!
Heh, I just finished reading Blink which is about "the power of the trained mind to make split second decisions, the ability to think without thinking, or in other words using instinct"... pretty interesting IMHO.
i liked biway, but indeed, it was very uncool. i would never have admitted it back then. which is a shame. i wonder if i'd shop at biway if it still existed now. it was kind of like an s&r chainstore. and i shop at s&r so maybe i would. i like that i can remember defunct stores. that i'm old enough and have that much life experience that i've seen kingdoms rise and fall. i was listening to the cbc and realized that these are the world events of my lifetime. someday people will look back on these things the way we do about WWI and the cold war. i also like that i'm rambling in this comment box about something that could very well be a blog entry in itself!
bud, let me know how that pans out for you. i'm interested to see if it works :)
biway always smelled kind of funny. i think it was all the cheap rubber in the shoe section.
also (flashback to the biway days themselves), please let the subject heading be a reference to the terrible english boy band. whose entire discography i once owned.
