All Apart
A quest to get my shit together by exposing just how apart it really is.Archive for March, 2007
Friday March 30, 2007
Woke up early, made banana raspberry muffins and coffee, ate, drank coffee, and went to administrative law class for the first time in almost a month (!!!).
Then headed to the library and did my reading for my criminal procedure class. Came home, (behind closed doors), and then went for felafel at Cafe Mosaics with D. Went and picked up the new Bust magazine at Earth’s General Store, and then headed to criminal procedure class.
Came home, listened to Henry Rollins, and then went to the gym with M. Afterwards, I had some dinner, watched some Family Guy, had a bath, and watched the documentary, Thin, which was sad and strangely compelling at the same time.
Then I headed out to see Against Me! at the Dinwoodie. The band was good, but the crowd was kind of annoying. Maybe it was because I knew there was a person there who I’m a embarassed to have gone on a date with. I tried to find D (he got me into the show for free since he was bartending), but the bar area was full, so I left before the band finished. Not that big of a deal – it was about 800 degrees in the place, and I felt like other peoples’ sweat was all over me.
Now I’ve come home and am drinking a gin and grapefruit and listening to This American Life.

Got up, had breakfast, and headed to animal law class, where we watched The Witness. I really liked it – it had a nice tone; less frenzied and crazy than many animal rights films.
Came home for lunch and got bad cramps, so I got into bed and moaned. D went and got me some ice cream (soy, of course), and we watched High Fidelity (well, I watched, and he napped, since he had a rough night on Wednesday).
Wrote to the editors of ALR explaining my flaky behavior and telling them I wanted to make good. Was too scared to check my email the rest of the day. Went to my constitutional litigation class, which went short. Then I went out for coffee with M, came home, read a bit, watched an episode of Futurama, and then fell asleep.

Woke up early and intended to go to class, but I was hungover and tired, and it felt like a lazy day (doesn’t every day?). Forgot that I was supposed to get lunch with mom, so was surprised when she showed up at my door, and I wasn’t wearing a bra. She’s not used to having to shield sensitive parties from your loosed boobs for fear of offending (in the case of family/friends) or arousing (in the case of dudes) since she is flat-chested.
Went for lunch with D and mom and my aunt. Missed my afternoon class and then had a crisis of confidence and felt bad about myself.
I read the first 70 pages of The Power of Now, having gotten it confused with The Now Habit. I felt a bit better.

I don’t remember much about this day either – I went to my animal law class and didn’t go to my conflicts class. I came home after animal law, and ended up trying to help D get over his nerves for a job interview. Then went out to the Garneau Pub for “a drink” and ended up drunk. Ooopsie!

I don’t remember what I did (I forgot to write it earlier). I DO remember that I didn’t go to class (either one).

Woke up early with D again. Made granola for breakfast (with strawberries!) and read paper, drank coffee… the usual.
Dicked around for entirely too long creating playlists on Pandora and photographing the cats.
Started reading Lullabies for Little Criminals, which, so far, is great. D came home from work, and we went to Lucky for a late brunch.

Off to a flying start!
Got up early with D and had some juice. After he left, I finished Franny and Zooey and then got dressed and headed to the Farmer’s Market. Bought some provisions and then met M for breakfast at Lucky. Stopped at Blackbyrd on the way home and picked up Social Distortion tickets ($80 for two!!!! What is the world coming to?), “Silver” by Jesu, and the new Ted Leo/Pharamacists album.
At home, there was a crazy vagrant-looking dude on my front sidewalk who had attracted the attention of an ambulance and an emergency services support vehicle. Went upstairs, located the cats to make sure they were not being harrassed, and then put on the Ted Leo and cleaned up some.
Hung around at home for a while, and then had some lunch. Went to the Black Dog and had a pint with D and our friends. Sat outdoors on the patio in the sun – the first patio sitting of spring.
Stopped at the art supply store on the way home and picked up supplies for my long overdue craft project. Came home and watched Ghostbusters with D and my sister. Did some work on the craft project.
Didn’t really do anything except work on the craft project and talk to people on AIM for the rest of the evening.

Got up early and was all set to go to class, but I decided it would be a better use of time to “work on my relationship.” Had a shower, did a bit of cleaning and miscellaneous apartment stuff until 11:00.
Went to pick up paycheque and deposited it. Cafe Mosaics for lunch and then home for a while. Relaxed at home for a while and then went out and bought a massive amount of groceries (three stops: The Italian Centre, Save On, and Planet Organic). Came home and finished Casino Royale and ate dinner.
We were going to go out for a drink, but we were both tired, and D had to get up early in the morning, so we just watched Henry Rollins Live at Luna Park DVD, read a bit, and went to bed.

This was a pretty productive day!
Got up early and had breakfast (we’re running dangerously low on food, so I had to improvise a bit). Went to school with Dallas at about 8:20 and worked on my moot presentation until animal law class.
Ran home for lunch (more improvising – turned out quite well!) then back to school. Finished my moot script and met with my partner to read for each other and give feedback.
Changed into my suit and then went to constitutional litigation class. Mooted. We did really well. Went out to the nearby law student bar (which now sucks because it has been turned into a Hudson’s) and had a pint. Went home, made popcorn, watched Futurama, and fell asleep.

Another underachieving day…
Got up and grabbed some breakfast. Didn’t go to administrative law. Dicked around at home for quite a while. Tried to meet up with the opposing moot team to bounce our arguments off each other, but they weren’t in the room they had booked.
Went downtown and paid for Bun Bun’s pet licence renewal – I was worried because I only had $12.50, and I thought it would cost $13. Apparently, my vegan karma works, because the amount due was exactly $12.50.
Came home and applied for student line of credit via phone. Emailed my dad asking if he would cosign.
Dicked around some more. Made dinner. Did about an hour and a half’s worth of work on my moot presentation.
Watched half of Casino Royale with Dallas then went to bed.
