long live Japan!

Went to East last night :D Sushi never tasted so good! And the wasabi! I missed it soo much I put on too much on my first piece and my eyes watered. Also tried Japanese beer, Asahi, loved it. It's much smoother and a tad sweeter than wat I'm used to. Then we had Ice Cream Tempura, GREATNESS!!!!!!!! Words cannot describe how much I love ICT.

Tomorrow is my day off and apart from running and cleaning my computer desk, I have no plans. I want to call Craig and see if I can go chill by his farm. Or I could sleep :)

it's been awhile

haven't blogged in awhile, havent got shat to say. least nothing good. exercise is on and off. still havent made the dentist appointment yet. picked up multivitamins today. hair is in twists again after months of canerow. Friday is my day off, so I'm gonna wash and redo them.

Soutar IMed, he wants to go for sushi, I'm game, Rog is iffy. I wanna see Casino Royale, hopefully afterwork on Saturday, I hear it's good. Yes, I know I ragged on DC but he was being such a bitch about playing Bond that he really irked me.

hmm, since I've heard that some asshole or the next wants to ban literature books with patois from our schools, I've been in a memory lane kick with my old literature books. I recently bought and read Escape To Last Man's Peak and my love for it still grows. Why would anyone want to take such great literature, about Jamaican kids no less, from schools. When I was younger reading was my #1 thing to do. Especially Caribbean literature, because I could identify with it. Read a passage and go. 'Yep, that's so true.' I'm glad that that idiot is being ignored, I think it's important for young people to read books about themselves, their culture, to know it is of value.

So, I'm now digging up my old books and buying new ones. I bought Crick Crack, Monkey last week and I'm loving it. the writing style is great. Her descriptions make conjuring a mental image so easy.

I'm trying to find my copy of Charles Hyatt's When Me Was A Boy, that book was hilarious. And a good look at Jamaica before I was born.

In unrelated news, I stumbled on this pic and I just love it!:

the ups of public transportation

so I'm on a HWT bus wen this preacher comes on and starts preaching. Him do di usual ask ppl to say a 'Praise God' and nobody ansa him. So him go fi the guilt card and bus di 'When unnu go unnu bed last nite unnu neva have no guarantee to wake up.' and him get 2/3 'Praise God' So him start him sermon and me only hear a one 'Selassie!' All of a sudden, all the other "christians" that were ignoring the preacher find dem mouth. The holy war was on! I wish I had a video camera. The "christians" vs the rastafarians. One heap a 'Praise God', 'Bun a dutty Jesus', 'Selassie dead', 'Jesus is the devil' etc etc. Me nearly dead wid laff.

So anyway, wen di bus reach 3 Mile, the rastas came off and some white people wid dem. Den the preacher find fi him mout(him wasnt really arguing with the rastas, he was just shouting over them). Hear the preacher him now nuh, "See ya, a cause dem a travel with white people mek dem a try show off. Mus be a rent a dread."

Watev, everyone knows, if ur in a bus wid a rasta or two and someone starts preaching, argument a go gwan, so him fi quiet.

Bwoy me neva laff so hard in ages.

I drove home!

Steve(my cabbie) gave me the keys and drove home. :) Shut up David! Me, him and the car reached Portmore without incident.

work keeps getting shittier and shittier. Kam will be out sick this week, therefore it's not gonna be good. Esp with the dial up probs.

my life feels sorta boring. and I'm trying to be careful saying this cuz I know how it can blow up in my face. Hmm, hows about I ask for a LITTLE excitement, haha.

No more sun! Since Monday I think it's been rainy and cool. Not really complaining, glad I bought the sneakers(twas a tad weird driving in them). Hopefully I wont have to get a jacket or sweater since I work nights.

LOL, Screech's porn tape has finally leaked. Who wanna see Screech do a dirty Sanchez? lol, me neither.

my job blows

royally. it's bad enough when I get idiots but when I get ppl with legitimate probs and I can't help them it's so much worse. BTW C&W are fucking asses but apart from that I work with fuckwads sometimes, seriously.

day offs are great!

Today was my day off :) I didn't run but I did exercise, wash my hair and reinstalled XP.

too bad I got work tomorrow :(

I'm not feeling so good. I can't believe I overate :( Ugh! I ordered too much food and insisted on finishing it now I just feel awful.

I wonder how come my mom isn't home yet, I need her to do my hair.

Happy Birthday Roger

I swear that boy lies when he says carrot cake is his fave. I bet its cuz him and like 2 other people in Jamaica do. Craven.

Realized the deadline for the JET is too soon for me to apply :( so I'm gonna hunt and see if another country has a similar program.

Finally switched monitors at work, the difference is so clear. So I maybe will start GIMPing soon. Ive been thinking some avatars with popular expressions. Or even song lyrics, we'll see.

I ran this morning! Haha, no 8 Minute workouts but I did do yoga and some exercise thing on FitTV.

that was a bore

David lent me Devil Wears Prada and after much skipping and some reading, I'm thoroughly bored. Hopefully the movie is better. Thanks David but lend me something more interesting next time.

Today was a good day. I slept through most of it. I love having the house to myself.

Greg's mom sent me dinner :) So I'm all good for food.

Tomorrow's to-do list:
1) Fill out the JET application form
2) Research similar programs

not much here

got my nails done with glitter something or the next:


Its really great to not have work to do. I need a new job. Mom brought home the application for teaching English in Japan, gonna fill it out tomorrow.

BTW, Sheen is the best char on jimmy neutron boy genius

LMAO!!!

Got this in my mail today, it's from yesterday's or today's Jamaica Observer. IMO, hilarity!

some days I really hate my job

so I'm on the phone for nearly two hours with C&W trying to get this guy's DSL up to no avail, so I'm about to report it and guy calls in to say he had reset the modem thereby making all the troubleshooting moot. His ass is gonna wait till tomorrow.

Went back to my Vox today. Still have no use for it yet but until I figure it out I'm gonna be doing their QuestionOfTheDay thingy.

I have this weekend off! Gonna use Saturday and get glitter tips on my nails and gonna reinstall XP on Sunday.

Everyday I use Post-Its to clean my teeth despite having dental floss in my bag.

I'm trying to have a chapter up tomorrow, it's my self imposed deadline. Speaking of which, I need to switch monitors so I can start iconing or something.

slowly but surely

I is writing again. Currently working on two stories, I need to get a hold of Crysta we need to finish something. I did setup Gimp on my Suse box, so maybe I'll have a icon or two to show for it. Only prob is the monitor at work is dark so they may come out too bright or something.

Some of my fave celeb gossip blogs went wild with the news of the supposed Britney+Kevin split. Yes I know official papers were filed and all, but britney aint no paragon of truth. Lets not forget he has an album out, she has one she's working on. But people are happy, why? The damage is done, they might as well stayed married.

apathy or whatever

all damn day all I wanna do is sleep. I sleep at work, I sleep on the way home and now I'm home, I dont wanna sleep, write, read, watch tv, do anything. oh joy.

just saw Last King of Scotland greatness! I love having a movie that doesnt disappoint. All around great performances. Scully Gillian Anderson I almost didn't recognize, Kerry Washington, lets just say I saw a new side of her :D Forest was so fricking great!

Brought my linux box to work today and watched ATHF all day. I know I shoulda watched Heroes but I really wasn't interested.

LJ was down today, sometimes when I'm bored I troll LJ, search by interest which usually yields some interesting journals/communites but none of that for me.

Apparently Chris Rock and Malaak are divorcing, which doesn't really surprise me esp after his last special, his jokes on marriage didnt really seem to be just jokes, then again its Chris Rock, he doesn't really do just jokes.

THIS is why people ask me dumbass questions on the internet

"Batty man does not mean gay. A batty man is a man that like to have sex through the rear; he isn't gay." Beanie Man

I think I should be sad or something

but whatever. I just read this, funny I got it from Tara seeing as she's in a diff country but I don't do news, local or international. Ever since the dutty wine buss I was never a fan. To me it was never fun, appealing or safe now some young fool girl is dead and worse it wont make a diff but to a few. Best believe dutty wine dancing and competitions will continue. Thank you Tony Matterhorn.

back on the wagon

So after going a week without exercise I ran and exercised this morning. Suprisingly I ran more than usual. We decided to add 8 Minute Legs into the exercise routine cuz really my thighs need it.

But a lotta time was spent getting mom's computer to actually play the vids. I'm gonna have to format and reinstall windows again. my mom has the amazing ability to screw up computers by doing "Nothing." And she calls me names when I run her off mine.

So I'm wearing my new blue jeans today and it fits like one of Rog's, too big. But I like it, even though it makes me look I spent the night at my boyfriend's. Everyone prefers my black sneakers to my blue ones. I do too but the blue feels comfier.

Friday, theyre gonna knock holes in our side wall to make windows, so I gotta move my computers, DSL modem and a bunch of wires. So my Friday off won't really be a Friday off. Hopefully I can borrow George's car and go by the RGD to do my dad's birth certificate that I always keep forgetting about.
