work all day, dinner and home by 7:49 pm...awesome!

i must be getting old...it's the truth. i was so happy to have had dinner after work and be home before 8 pm last night. ok, so i've been fighting a cold/flu thing and want to get as much sleep and rest as possible, that's the truth to...but...i like being home and relaxing by then too... i suppose i could have headed out the blarney stone or some other club in the 'hood...had a few shooters, got in a fight...
ran into glen and denny at the topanga last night as well...they like a good burrito or enchilada once in a while...love those guys...
nothing to report yet today..the implosion will be a little later today...maybe i'll get some piocs...but i need to get groceries as well so food may take the lead in that race...

have fun.

the queen of the universe gets close with glen and denny..



then it all went sideways...

granville island jeanie becker style....

or no style...
corie and i went and had lunch w/ the garbs today on granville island...i saw a young girl dressd in period clothing which i thought was pretty good...and then on the other side of the spectrum...i saw a woman dresssed in a fucked-up shoulderless thing...people have mirrors in their homes right?

nice.

all over except for the cryin'

tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. they're gonna blow woodward's final walls and start the real construction of the new housing there. so i went by and took some final pics before they took all the rubble away...here they are...enjoy.

tomorrow morning...more best of the blog.

broken switches, fans and driving for no reason...

yesterday should have been a good day...but it wasn't. toys arrived in the mail scratched-new toy not a toy of of ebay, vendors who used to have ceratin products had none, a large extractor fan was taken all apart and a new fan bought only to discover it was just a broken wall switch, then the sickness came... a head cold/slight flu thing that has knocked me down still...but off to work i must go...
the doctor did tell me yesterday that my bone scan was neg. which is good...
my back hurts a great deal as well...i thoiught it was just a matter of being out of shape but it has to be something else...sore man, sore....better be feeling better by friday as we have another league game saturday night...
oh, and to the woman at nikon canada who gave me directions to thier office yesterday...you fuckin' idiot...you should be banned from the using the phone. you couldn't give the correct directions to make cream of wheat...you fucki' 'tard! but i now have my camera back but still have to send in the other....they're made to be broken i suppose.

ok...off to work...

good times.

what a good lookin' groom...



fawn and helle...her fabulous mom...

ladies and gentlemen...the garbs!

as i gear up for next week's 'best of the bog'...i was thinking about the one man who may have been featured on the blog more than anyone else....while corie was a close second i'd have to say the garbs made an appearance at least once a week...usually more...

so here's a pictorial salute to the man they call the garberator, or garbs or garbis....

love you man.

hockey, tuna and a little stroll around the neighbourhood.

fawn sent me this today...



corie and i played our first league game today at eight rinks in the old guy hockey league...it's actually a good league but i need a little gym time to get going in this new season of hockey....i was hurtin' out there today. i scored a shitty goal and a reasonably good goal but in the end it wasn't enough...we lost 6-4.... i'll be visiting the gym tomorrow to work on my ankle, which has been feeling a little better, and to ride the bike and work the treadmill..i am so outta shape it's pathetic...
good times.
when i got home i had a few grand plans for the rest of my day...i had a can of tuna and some ritz crackers....then a bowl of cheerios....i had been feeling shitty due to running out of clairtin...but i took one and thought it would all be good...then i started feeling worse...and super sleepy...so i decided i should get outta the house.
i thought i'd walk over to Mintage, check it out, so i packed my bag and had a great plan to end up eating some food downtown while ignoring people with my ipod on...maybe thai food at the beach...nice.
what actually happened was...i ended up at Richard Kidd, a fancy pants clothing store that was originally on 4th ave and called 24. i had a long, maybe too long, conversation with a woamn there-who i think may be the owner or sumptin, about art and Kaws and toys etc...half the time i had no idea who and what she was talking about...either i'm fuckin' stupid or it's just all bullshit. she may have a couple of toys i want/need so i may go back and see if she's willing to part with them...i'd steal them from her except they're numbered and the police would be able to track me down so....bad idea overall...
i left there and headed to Mintage...nice store with the exception of the dry cleaning smell...and really, i guess i'm just not that much of a vintage clothing fan anymore...cool stuff, stinky store...
i ended up back on water street and in front of One of a Few...a store started by a woman who used to work at the Block clothing store...i saw a woman i have been working with, indirectly...emily. she's a handful apparently...which i only know because we share the same hairdresser...such gossip...although she did say today that she was hungover which seems to fit her profile...very nice woman....gut feeling=trouble...i like her...
then i ran into sandwich. he was on his way to the white spot for a family dinner...i like that guy too....
then i decided i had had enough and so had my stomach...my fine dining from earlier had and has come back to haunt me....there's trouble down there...i need a little sit down i think....
and low and behold i'm now watching NFL football....there really must be something wrong with me...

i feel shitty mom...

done like dinner...and the best of the blog.

today i realized i try and help out too much. maybe i try a litle too hard to help. so i am now only helping out when officially asked to do so. i have ideas but i think it's better to keep them to myself from now on. people have their own ideas and i shouldn't impose mine on them. there. i'm happy to get that over with....

october will mark the birthday of this shitty blog and i thought i would post some of the best pictures from the last year. pics of friends, places i've been over the last year and...stuff. there will be approx. ten pics a day over the first week of october.

have fun...

oh...maybe it's because i was outta town for a week in the middle of nowhere but as i drove around today in larry it became even more apparent how shitty this town is.

good times.

i was thinking.....

i was posting some shit to sell today on the kid robot bbs and was thinking about some other stuff i want to sell...problem is they're not in my house so it's hard to sell them...also there are people out there who owe me money...you know who you are...lol...not a big deal...money for t-shirts and money lent...bastards...
so if you have cd's or dvd's of mine i'm collecting them all up and maybe gonna sell them...i know tornack has some and maybe muc but i think i have lost some and have no idea where they are...the tom snyder dvd, the ramones dvd...um..there are others...
i think today i'm gonna hang out, get some groceries, find that saw i lent out, have some coffee and try not to injure myself...

the toy sale at garn's continues....

shit....

i tried to reward myself for all my hard work recently by buying myself some new stuff...it doesn't matter what i bought but i'll say this...most of what i bought sucks and reaffirmed to me that shit won't make me any happier. i have lots of shit/crap and i'm still a miserable fuck. loveable, kinda, but prety miserable and grumpy...
my new digital camera has died due to the dust on set in ashcroft. and today i found out they can't fix my other camera that i took into nikon.. so now i'm fucked. i seem to go through those things like candy lately...and i can't keep that up...maybe the blog will have no more pics...which will bum the garbs out because he never reads the blog, probably like most people, he just looks at the pictures...
last week i put a large dent in my leg at tony's shop..and today, just as it was getting healed, i smashed it wide open getting into my car outside best buy on cambie...so incredibly painful...blood and me trying not to pass out...good times.
i went and saw barry at bronco plastic today and gave him the measurements for my plexi end table i'm making. it'll be cool. i'm getting rid of a wood and aluminum end table i made years ago...so if anyone wants an end table...next is the re-doing of my red chair that now looks like shit...
i'm also making a few glitter vinyl computer bags..well, actually, the garbs is gonna sew them and they're gonna be cool...he knew he was gonna make one...but now i'm gonna make a few...don't worry garbs...you'll get paid.
ok...i'm gonna go back and fight it out with my stereo system again...maybe soon i'll have sound and vision...

and then there were none...

yesterday we were working second unit, which is a separate shooting unit from main unit where things move more quickly, there's no main talent there, it's usually a different director and often times there's more action...we blew up and flipped over a toyota, blew some mortars, blew up a guys head and ate lunch nine hours into our day....it was great. it was almost like the old days on set for me except certain people still regard me as the office bitch...but that's ok...i think it's over now and we're gonna wrap out of this location and get the fuck outta here...ashcroft is a beautiful place but i'm done eating herbie's burbers for a while.

here are some pics from yesterday...again, no captions...just pics...
