now you know too much - part 1

radmad...


is never a dull moment

sets all of her clocks fifteen + minutes fast

is a voyeur into the lives of others' sadness

refuses to be anything but happy

sleeps very still in place

is the complete opposite of still while awake

just made her car feel like a new woman

gravitates towards go-getters

is proud to be on hanstar's moving crew

is becoming smaller than all her jeans

thinks slippers are constricting

wants the dad she remembers back

has the longest hair she has ever had

doesn't own a hair brush

finds it hard to hide it when she thinks someone is fake

is out of sight but not out of his mind
and likewise

muneday movie night

Photobucket

Emilio says:
Still high off my dinner party.

Emilio says:
I will make you a great quinoa-lentil stew someday.

radmad says:
okie.

radmad says:
i just came home from cloverfield

Emilio says:
And?

radmad says:
crap

Emilio says:
What was the monster?

radmad says:
big

Emilio says:
So you did get to see it?

Emilio says:
Somewhat satisfying?

radmad says:
i saw it. it was big and i wanted it to kill the dumb people. but they all die anyways so it was eventually satisfying

radmad says:
oh. er. spoiler coming up

Emilio says:
Cool. Thanks for the detailed spoiler. 

Emilio says:
Ha!

Emilio says:
It's OK. I'm not 'one of those people' who gets infuriated at people who spill the beans.

radmad says:
that's cause then you can grab them up and put them in that quinoa stew

there is no try. there is only do

Photobucket

Photobucket

sometimes i make myself a fancy
romantic dinner
to remind myself
that i'm the greatest

Photobucket

then i met up with another
greatest

j-man

Photobucket

and i bugged him about his CBC coat
and that if we gets stuck reporting the curling
at the beijing olympics
that i will be his "inside dorkxpert" and make him look smart

HURRY HURRY HAAAARD

and teach him all the lingo
and cool terms

then we got all intellectual and philosophical
and we had the coolest talk about the twilight episode
titled "To Serve Man"
which i have never seen
but tapped into my hardwired cynicism
to immediately get that it was a cookbook

and we debated chuck klosterman's theory
that earth is actually pergatory
and how science and religion are both botched
at explaining existence
and how evolution is the only way
god damn it

and then we touched on the whole idea
of innovation


and then he went and trumped me
by using a word i didn't know
and it sounded like he used it in the right context even
and he demonstrated meaning with glasses as a visual

Photobucket

fuk
i forgot that he's not just a jock
but kinda earned that whole english lit degree thingy


oh and he has also earned the title of raddy's Yoda
even though he doesn't do a very good impression
and is a bad influence on me getting in form
for my early morning run

got marshmallows?

Photobucket

i still haven't taken down
my christmas tree

the bad news
is that it is pretty fuk'n dry
and what might be considered by some
as an extreme fire hazard

the good news
is that the decorations
have started to finally take the initiative
to slowly but surely
remove themselves
into a neat'ish little pile
on the floor

you know when someone says 'i have the worst drivers license photo'?

Photobucket

i'm not sure
but maybe there is some heaven
for expired driver's licenses

or maybe a museum

if not
there should be
cause mine is a historical artifact
of ugly

and it finally expires next week
after five years of causing me
mucho embarassment

it was taken during my hair grow out days
i had it cropped
and crimped
and big

bad enough to make a parkdale prosti
look glam

i have had bouncers snicker
and lcbo reps laugh
and it doesn't help
that for 31
i look 20

so it was out

constantly


and no you can't see it

the top of her head was getting all the airtime

Photobucket

sometimes
i think it would be stressful
to be an actor

i think the worst part
would be if the character you played
was cooler than you
in real life

Maverick ala Tom Cruise
Lee ala Maggie Gyllenhaal (secretary)
any julia roberts character (in real life she bugs me)

and oh
i dunno
i'm sure there's lots more

the end is a start

somedays she was the farthest thing
from what he probably needed

and others
she was the one thing
he didn't even know he was looking for
all along

top of her mind

Photobucket

that there on the desk
is an unchecked lottary ticket

some days luck is so on my side
that i might just have a winner

others
unluckiness would probably result
in me winning kazillions

i can honestly say
that winning
would not make me as happy
as one would think it should

under the sheets

i have a silly little obsession
with better than the original

right now

with Mark Ronson
covering the Smith's "stop me"

and Corrine Bailey Rae
doing "Sexyback" by jt

little squirt

Photobucket

this little fuk'r
although sweet and delicious
put up quite the fight

my eye is still stinging

Photobucket

i am going to buy a copy of PostSecret today
for no other reason
but to be inspired
to think different things
and to peek into others' lives for an afternoon


then i may take down my christmas tree

i wish there was someone i could just call
to do it

it is so opposite the experience
taking it down as it is putting it up
no joy man
not a bit

i've had this thing up for so long
and it is so dry
that i am going to be picking up pine needles
for




eveeeeeeeer

hallelujah

what i have learned of love
as of late
is that unhappiness in marriage or commitment is the new single

it's everywhere
and i don't know how this has come to be
but it makes me sad
and it makes me doubtful
and it tarnishes me with an unbounding sense of hopelessness
that anything is truly forever

i want forever.
