This Afternoon...

I have a terrible headache and I'm not sure why...probably from sleeping until 2 p.m. I am also SERIOUSLY craving junk food. I want a hamburger and fries so badly right now. I have really been strongly thinking about making a trip to La Belle Provence or Alto for about an hour now. I don't know why but I really, really just want grease and salt so badly.

The walk home last night sucked. It was 3:30 am and I had to walk home alone down Sherbrooke with my camera and a blender in a large bag. It was Saturday night so I kept passing intermittent gaggles of drunk Toronto girls all wearing the exact same clubbing uniform: a black cotton/spandex blend dress that scoops down loosely in the front and is tied about the middle with an over-sized blinged belt, long fake blonde hair hanging down loose, a mess of gold chains, and black hooker boots. When ever I was away from these groups I was left to walk quickly past all the homeless guys sitting on the doorsteps of store fronts.

The whole time I walked very quickly, with one of my keys held between my thumb and forefinger ready to stab someone in the throat if need be.

I almost got hit by two cars. Once when I was walking by a gas station some guy abruptly cut his wheel towards the station and had to slam on the breaks less than a foot from me. The second time someone took a right on red (illegal in Quebec) and he too had to slam on the breaks less than a foot away from me. I was so pissed off.

Last night I dreamed that the basement went on a rafting trip and I had my camera in my Glassjaw bag with me. Twice I fell of the raft and was drowning. The water was endlessly deep and the weight of my camera was dragging me down down down but I refused to let go of it. I felt myself getting weaker and weaker as my brain screamed for oxygen but all I could think of was salvaging my camera because although now destroyed it was still under warranty as long as I didn't lose it. After I had been rescued and pulled to the raft for the second time I tried to use my water logged camera and realized it still worked it just wouldn't focus on anything because there was water in the lens, so I just sat there and whined about it.

When I woke up I was very sad that I didn't have my camera anymore.
