All Apart
A quest to get my shit together by exposing just how apart it really is.Friday March 23, 2007
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.

Got up early and had breakfast. Went to Leva and had a double canadaisia with soymilk while I finished reading for my animal law class.
Then I went to the Health Sciences Animal Laboratory and spent three hours there on a tour of the testing facility as part of my class.
Came home starving and made lunch. Watched some Simpsons and missed my conflicts class. Shit.
Dicked around for a while. Made some kick-ass peanut sauce and used it in my dinner. Ate. Discussed new project(s) with a friend. Responded to email. Formatted notes from missed administrative law classes.
Phoned dad and talked about moot topic. Did an hour of review on my admin notes.
Productive: 5/10.
Fun: 6/10.

Incidentally, this was my four-year veganniversary. Here what I did:
Got up and had breakfast. I then went and met my friend Ramona for coffee at new place, Da Capo. We then went to the Movie Studio, where I picked up a disc of Big Love.
Went home, had lunch, and watched three episodes of BL while knitting. Didn’t go to my afternoon class, because it was ass cold, which is kind of a shitty excuse in retrospect.
I then made a great salad with spinach, quinoa, and tofu for dinner. Ate, then read hilarious new blog.
Did some reading for my animal law class but gave up and watched the Simpsons due to downstairs neighboor playing stairway on his acoustic guitar.
What manner of tripe is this?
Here’s how it starts: I’m broke. I waste too much time watching The Simpsons online. I don’t devote enough time to my studies. I am in trouble at work (I think – I’m too scared to check my email and see just how pissed my boss really is). I have put on weight recently and don’t fit into any of my clothes anymore. I want to change all this.
I am going to post a rough breakdown of what my day was like each evening. I hope that this will either motivate me to do productive (or at least interesting and bizarre) things so that I will have something to post about or shame me into at least getting my work done.
So what can you expect from this blog?
Expect daily self loathing and (hopefully) increasing self congratulation. Expect goals set and not all achieved. Expect excuses (decreasing) and not taking any of my shit (increasing). Expect pathos, greatness, low-brow-high-brow hijinks. Expect reality, fantasy, and HD.
Expect my first post tonight.
