Laundry Takes You Places

Spent the morning at the laundromat. Living on the road, you end up in places you’d otherwise not.

When I pulled in, see those guys standing there?

They all waved and yelled at me, real motivated. I smiled back. Always smile, even if you are unsure what’s happening. Keep your face pleasant. That’s your security tip of today.

I put my clothes in, then went back outside to watch. Ahhhhh got it, they’re day labourers.

Basically I could drive up, say “Get in let’s go!” and in they get. Now I have a car full of willing workers.

I should return tomorrow, “hey, any of you know how to video edit? Final Cut?”

Settled in with my book.

It’s the last in Queen & Country series, ‘The Last Run‘ by my top 3 favourite authors right now, Greg Rucka, and starring spy Tara Chace.

Debated playing pool, because by now the guys outside have moved inside to the tables. I’m watching with my peripheral… there’s a good chance I’ll win, but then I’d have to talk… nah.

Then I made this animated gif, it’s a Flixel.

So cool, eh?! Even cooler – it was made in Toronto, and it’s really taking off. Get it here.

And now I’m home, well, my home for one week.

Gotta run! I have email to catch up on and a city to drive around.

 

 

Happy Rapture To You!

Can you imagine believing so strongly you’re getting zoomed up to the clouds at 6pm tonight, that you quit your job and sell your stuff?  And there’s millions of them.

But guys – if Jesus is such a great forgiving guy, how could he have it in his heart to be so choosy and opposite?  Dedicate a whole day to judging?

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this CBC article.

Here’s the joke going around the internet, ha:

Probably those people just need a little KeriBlog, and maybe some Nyan cat, have you seen that yet?  Likely no, I probably like internet memes more than you.

You’ll love or hate it, no in-between.

I’m one of those people who has a spring fever, literally. I’m pretty sick.  My fever broke late yesterday, but I’ve been SO dumb for 3 days now. Fevers always do that to me.

What I look like when I’m sick ahahahahahaha:

Just finished this book, my first ever graphic novel.

Queen & Country by Greg Rucka

It stars Tara Chace, an SIS field agent sent worldwide in service of her government, and this series has been touted as a rare look “at the world of international espionage from a real-world perspective seldom seen in the realm of spy fiction” (back cover).

As in, they have no money and it’s not Bond-ish at all.

I really really liked this book.  I’d really really like to play this character in the movie version that’s in development.

Oh before I forget again, I should put the date of today in, for SEO purposes: May 21 2011 Rapture 6pm 18:00

I’m off to celebrate the birthday of one of my oldest friends in Toronto, happy birthday pal!

(that’s an old photo, here’s the original post ;))

Kay I gotta run!

Oh and if I’m wrong about Rapture, Happy Apocalypsing to You!

Here’s how to execute the best exit EVER from an over-turned jeep.

PS – World Planking Day is Wednesday, I can’t wait!  Don’t care that it’s old, it’s still funny.
