29 going on 50

had you known me one year ago, you'd never believe that i would one day be exercising at gyms, using moisturizer, committing to a job, giving in and buying eyeglasses, or choosing to be alone on saturday night when i've got the place to myself.

i'm well moisturized, i've rented the philadelphia story, bought some smartfood and junior mints, and have opened some wine. it's a saturday night, my vision is restored, and i couldn't be more relaxed. i love getting old.

I've never promised loyality

I'm considering selling out. Despite my preaching and pleading, it seems as though my friends have sold their souls to myspace. I understand the musicians, artists, bars, and prostitutes, but aren't all the other users just child molesters and trench coat, high school gunmen? It's conformist. It doesn't allow choice and then it defines people according to their favorite movie, music and book. I bet the majority of those users haven't read a book in their life. It's like the red light district - fake breasts, flashy lights, neon signs and a whole lot of people looking for love in all the wrong places. With that said, let us move on. I'll join the prostitutes, musicians, and trench coat wearers.... I'll stir up some shit (figuratively).

I go in peace.

the cat came back

I have returned.

With an empty tummy and little concentration to write, I'll do a brief update:

• moved to toronto in july
• eating lots of good korean and salvadoran food
• working and finally making a descent wage
• got a bad haircut but coloured the greys
• the cat has herpes and I need to find a good veterinarian

I'll find something profound to include at a later date. I need to tend to my appetite.

apprehension and second thoughts

it appears adolfo wants me to participate. i'm a little apprehensive. i'm not confident it won't hurt. his response to my question requesting some clarity on the details wasn't reassuring "it is just an eeg". what the hell is an eeg and does it hurt?

aldolfo's response:


Hi Courtney:

Thanks a lot for your reply and interest in our study. There is no invasive test or medications given. It is just an EEG. Please call my cell at 416-457-5699 so we could discuss the study. Thanks.

Adolfo

prostitution part II

my move to toronto in two weeks has caused me to seek new employment. i'm looking.... in the meantime, i couldn't resist this opportunity! i'm not usually one to sell my body for profit, but what the hell!

MIGRAINE RESEARCH SUBJECTS NEEDED


Do you suffer from migraine or know someone who does?


If so, we ask you to participate in a possible breakthrough scientific research project that is aimed to help find new ways to diagnose this important problem. We need your help. We are looking for otherwise healthy adults over the age of 18 with migraine.

Subjects with migraine will have to attend twice: one occasion without pain and on another with pain. Sessions last about an hour. The main activity is an EEG recording which means sitting with some wires superficially attached to your scalp. Nothing invasive will be done and no drugs are involved.

If you are interested then please call us at 416-461-2419 or 416-457-5699, and speak to Dr. Adolfo Cotter, e-mail acotter17@aol.com, and we will answer any questions you may have and also provide you with more details about what will be involved. Monetary compensation is provided.

Yours very truly,

Dr. Adolfo Cotter,
Research Scientist,
Cerebral Diagnostics Canada Incorporated

apartment searching and wasting my time...

i normally hate these tests, but these ones were a little funny.

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic

Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few. But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky. Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

You Are Duck

Exotic and unusual, you are a bit of a rare bird - literally. You're known for being soft and succulent, though at times you can be a bit greasy.

What Kind of Meat Are You?

You Are 40% Gross

You're a tad gross, but generally you're a clean, hygienic person. No one can be perfectly clean all the time, and it's better to be human than a neat freak.

How Gross Are You?

sissors and shriners

i just came in from cutting my front lawn with a pair of sissors while wearing tight pants and an over sized tank top. i felt a little white trash. to make matters all the more absurd, the shriners have closed off my street and are driving around on their scooters and small cars listening to 'ghostbusters' again, and again, and again. i wonder if it's their signature song.... and then i wonder, why?
