Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Songs That Make Crabby PlanB Happy

I had a 40 minute bus ride this morning complete with smelly, loud homeless people and no iPod for salvation. So I was a tad crabby when I got in this morning. Luckily, it is a short holiday week (telling my coworker Michele about the time my brother, grandfather and I ended up at Kmart buying canned cranberry sauce one Thanksgiving cheered me up - more on that story later) and both my partners are gone today so I can listen to music a bit louder than usual in my Fortress of Solitude (henceforth known only as FoS).

On to the songs:
Dem Jeans - Chingy (hilarious)
Love You Til The End - Pogues
All of My Days - Alexi Murdoch (love, love, love this guy)
Fire Island A.K. - The Long Winters

And my personal favorite of this month:

Earthquakes and Sharks - Brandtson

"Earthquakes and sharks to start us off,
If Chupacabras ain't enough,
Black widows, spiders and killer bees,
There ain't no shade. There ain't no trees.
Black bears and heat, polluted air.
There's traffic jams beyond compare.
That's all I got to warn ya bout Mexico and California."

New Toy


I'm so far behind and fully plan on catching up but for now I'm going to rave about my new shuffle (object to left is larger than actual size). It is quite possibly the cutest thing ever. I can't wait to go running with it tonight (or tomorrow morning dependent on possible dinner plans)!

Things to catch up on:

- The Prestige
- 2 concerts (Barenaked Ladies and Broken Social Scene)
- My ongoing consternation with Apple over my computer I have yet to receive (yes, I realize patience is a virtue, but this is borderline ridiculous)
- The past two weekends and upcoming plans
