Well, just read Johnny's post. I don't know why he's so depressed over the hair thing. I mean, it's fuckin hair. In the big scheme of life, his decision to cut his hair will not likely come back and bite him in the ass.
Well, we had a big going away party for some of the Australian bouncers at work. We all booked this club called Plan B to ourselves and had a merry old time. Actually, I really didn't want to go to this because A) I can't afford it, B) I am a freaking idiot when I'm drunk, and C) I spent the whole time going after a girl (who we will refer to as Girl1 from this point on) who really wasn't interested. I ended up walking home another girl (we can refer to this one as Girl2) I met there. It was fun cause we went to 7/11 and had sushi. But I think I'm setting myself up for a lot of rejection. I gave girl2 my number and that's just setting your hopes up automatically. Tonight kind of went ok because Girl1 asked me if I wanted to hang out this week, but I am 99% sure this was a pity-hanging-out because I was in a bad mood all that day.
On that note, it's been extremely busy at work as of late because of this massive promo we have going. And we are also extremely under-staffed, which means I work almost 10hrs on a Monday, which is typically the slowest day of the week. We only have one week to go, but I'm getting so burnt out from working or drinking till 2 in the morning, then waking up and doing it all again. Most nights I go to bed praying that I get a brain hemorrhage and end it all. The only thing keeping me from having a bath with an electrical appliance is the fact that in a few short months, I will going to Mexico with 2 awesome friends. Then after that, I get to finally move out of this overcharged version of a cave that we call our apartment. Anyways, my drink of the night for Sunday evening was a Malibu pineapple. I'll leave the recipe, though it is pretty self explanatory.

Matt came and visited the other week. That was freakin awesome, cuz I haven't seen him in almost a year. We hung out, went out walking a bit. Did a bar cycle which included Hugo's and Darcey's. He wasn't such a big fan of the live entertainment thee, but it was still fun. None of us had a lot to drink, but Pete still managed to almost puke from a tequila shot that never really settled. Matt said my paralyzer I was drinking looked like a sunday. Matt still wants me to move to Red Deer, and that is still not going to happen.
On the topic of moving though, Peter has pretty much decided to stay in Vic for the summer because his work will be busy ($). This helps me a lot since I won't have to worry about moving out and going to Mexico all in May.
Erin and I went and saw Matador the other week. It was a pretty good movie. Nice change from Pierce Brosnan's usual "007" role. It was pretty funny, but also just a good movie in general. Matt bought out 40 Year Old Virgin and The Wedding Crashers when he visited. Two very good movies in my opinion. Maybe if I'm feeling up to it I'll go buy 40 Year Old Virgin cause it was so good. On the other hand, Tyler gave me a massive list of movies to watch. So far most of them were good. War of the Worlds was utter shit, but Butterfly Effect was ok, Vanilla Skies was ok, and Shawshank Redemption was pretty good. I'm not going to buy Vanilla Skies or Butterfly Effect, way too far fetched, but I will buy Shawshank if I get the chance.
Not too much to say in the music department. I've been listening to a lot of Tom Petty again. I know I say that a lot, but he's so good. I bought The Best Of Prince, which is an excellent album. Katie will be upset because I didn't buy The Hits collection, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Listening to a lot of Loreena McKennitt while on the computer. Really good Celtic singer if anyone's interested. Download her songs Breaking The Silence or Annachie Gordon.
Anyways, there is not much else to say. I'll leave you with another recipe of my drink of the week

Sex In The City (Martini)
2/3 OZ Butterscotch Schnapps
2/3 OZ Malibu Coconut Rum
2/3 OZ Green Apple Sour Pus
Cranberry Juice

*Shake in ice and serve in Martini glass*
