okay okay.

since i’ve started my job, my life has become a bit a lot more hectic than usual, which means that something falls by the wayside. that “something,” unfortunately, happens to be blogging. (well it’s better than letting laundry go, right?) anyway, since i’ve gotten nasty-grams about my lack of blogging, i figured i better get back on it.
(n.b. okay, i’ve gotten one nasty-gram, but grant me this small delusion of pretending my blog is more popular than it is. to his credit, my friend’s one nasty-gram counts for at least three. especially since my blog domain is hosted on his server, and he extended it for 2 more years, so there’s this whole little “obligation” thing going on.)
at any rate, i’ve come out of training and actually started my job, and me and the rest of my brand-spanking-new department have apparently been kicking some serious ass at our jobs, even for as new as we are. we’ve already received a slew of compliments in the short time we’ve been around. kinda makes you feel like you’re doing something right, you know?
i’ve managed to get a fair amount of things accomplished in the last couple of weeks other than work, though. for instance, i’ve had sushi, had a curry (or three), kicked some zombie ass in resident evil 5, played with cats, got invited to my friend’s wedding in lebanon next year (!), searched for an apartment, made a new friend, saw an afro-beat band, bought the new metric album (and now love it), and got hit on by a straight man at a gay bar. (yeah, i’m surprised at that last one, too. but it’s flattering nonetheless.)
so yes, i’ve been busy. my next goal? finding a date for a wedding in beirut. this should be good.
You really have to go to Beirut for a wedding? See, that’s some cool shit.
wellll…at this point they’re pretty sure it’ll be in beirut. it could also potentially be in germany (where my friend is from) or dubai (where he lives and works), but as my friend’s fiancee is lebanese, it’s pretty likely it’ll be in beirut.
i’m pretty excited about seeing some old friends again. oh, and traveling. that’s cool too. 
Hey! I wasn’t a nastygram. It was merely a friendly reminder that out there in the vast world, there are people who are living their life vicariously through you, and hanging on your every word.
Or at least looking for something to read to pass the time at work.
And, this may be the first time we agree, but I also really like the new Metric album.
it’s a pretty great album, even though i feel like all of the previous albums are much better. emily haines’ voice lost something in the (over?)production of this album, in my opinion. still a fun album, though.
hey! i went to your friends’ wedding in scotland with you – you should be my date to my friend’s wedding. (no matter that i was in glasgow anyway….)
also: we’ve agreed on other music before! arcade fire, arctic monkeys, keane, snow patrol, etc. and 3 of those you gave to me! :p
I was just thinking that I haven’t seen anything from you in a while. Glad that everything is going well though, better to be busy, getting paid and posting once in a while than not being busy, not getting paid and posting umpteen times a day I guess.
Although being busy and getting paid to post umpteen times a day would be best, am I right??
A wedding in Lebanon would be an experience and a half I think, you will of course have to take a boat load of pics if you go.
absolutely right! tho, i’m hardly the writer to get someone to pay me to blog.
and of course i’ll take pics! now to buy a digital camera. somehow i think my camera phone just won’t do…
I dunno, I’ve commented on this blog more than any other in recent times, not sure if that goes for anything but I keep coming back. Also any time you post and tag with “Them gays” always makes me smile and snort diet irn bru / coffee through my nose.
I would recommend a little Nikon if you are going for a digicamera, small compact and I think they take nice piccies. For example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/unmajestic/sets/72157608400346475/
wow i’ve just had a chance to look at your photos, and you’re right, it DOES take good pics! although i’m sure it had a bit to do with your photographic style as well.
i’ll have to check into cost and whatnot for one of those. thanks for posting the link!
