Good day
I'm feeling creative right now. So, naturally, I put my hair in a high pony tail (figure one), put on the music du jour (Wye Oak's album The Knot), and have considered taking up cooking, photography, wine tasting, and trendy-shopping.
The only problems I've encountered in these plans has sprung from the non-money well (making this less a spring well and more like a dried-up-icy-cold-dead-inside winter well).
The good thing about having no money to spend is that I am not spending any money. The bad thing is that I'm now only going through the motions of living (woe is me!) and not actually having all the best possible fun in Montreal.
However, this has allowed me to start working when I get home in the evenings on internship stuff, I finally cracked open the LSAT prepper, not to mention the three academic courses I'm taking. God help me that I start calling them "academic courses". Blech!
I received an 85% on my first assignment, and dear family, before you even think about asking where the other 15% went, it was OUT of 15 and I received 12.8/15 and if you want to know where the other 2.2 marks are because you are sticklers for detail, ask the prof!!!!!
Last night I came home to home-made lasagna (allowing for ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar and swiss cheese to be melted into the mess). Oh my gooooooodness. Also, a lovely 2008 Malbec blend, followed by Dexter re-runs. I went to sleep with a huge stomach and a very definite smile.
Woke up today to let the fumigator in (I never mentioned lovely readers...we have bed bugs. Just like everyone else. Sadly, we don't have pro-active Greg Selinger to come up with a province-wide epidemic plan. So we depend on the Polish, the oil can used in the original screening of the Wizard of Oz and a hose stolen from our neighbour's yard. This is our exterminator.)
Anyway, the wonderful thing about bedbugs is you get to wash everything, for $1.75 per wash and $0.25/ three minute dry cycle. If you've never seen $34 in quarters, get bedbugs, because that's how much the laundromat will set you back. If you're privy to my Wanted lists (not of the vengeance variety), you'll know that I specifically requested laundromat-friendly clothes this year. Which is exactly what my dear brother provided me at Noel with some beautifully gawdy-gone-Posh sunglasses. So, when no one was looking today at the laundromat, I took pictures of the machines, and, then, of myself. (Narcissism suspicions? Confirmed. Comma over-use? Likely.)
In these dire times, I can only want, so I have decided to torture myself before launching into Kwagala 2011 Sponsorship updates (which is pretty much just one big email to my grandmother!) by perusing the internet for cute buys. That does read buys and not boys, for the skeptics out there.

Really, is it so bad to just want to look and feel great, while living in one of the greatest cities, with a bit of spending money?!?!!??!
I am going to counter my selfishness now with Kwagala work. I think mostly I just want to look trendy while I work hard.
A bientot!
