Tatiana's Wanderings

I discovered redrum today - UGH! Had to shower!


Julie M. was on vacation and saw this map at a Pennsylvania visitor centre: Starlight?! Makes me think of the Starlight casino around here!




From Julie M. and JUDGE JUDY: Nichalse Laizure?! Apparently, that is how you spell Nicholas... WTF? HORRIBLE SPELLING! It ALMOST reminds me of nachos, Pére Lachaise cemetery, and Azure Road!




From Julie M. and JUDGE JUDY: Titiera Tucker?! BOOBIES AND TIARAS!

I found a dead mouse after trying to take another snow photo by my window last night, so spent time frantically texting people like Barry / Deb / Paulo. No answer from Barry, Deb said I should call my manager (so I said that Hester is notoriously difficult about it being "my job" even though they provide glue traps), and Paulo was still at work. He did come by at 9:30 to help with the removal, using tissues before doing anything with rubber gloves, and I got him to just take it outside in the plastic bag in the cold weather. I thanked him when he left - we talked briefly about the server and the -6 / -12 weather, too.

This bathroom graffiti is from Farts Are Funny: Be fearless! Fart as loud as your anus will allow!

I went to the Life Labs next door to get some blood and urine tests done. Failed at the pee test, unfortunately. Then I went across the street where someone actually drove onto the concrete parking barrier! "HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!" I said to a nearby dude, who had seen WORSE! It's broad daylight, people! Got home and called Chrystal to make our usual December dinner plans, but it would have to be fairly early since I'm not sure when I'm going to Ontario. We settled on Friday, December 6 at the usual location at 7:30.


From Julie: Crazy Discombobulated Poop!




From Julie and Anorak UK: Hand Job Nails and Spa?! Long Poo Gas Supplies?!

After COFFEE TIME, I went out at 2 on a 414 to see Rachel at the Caring Place. I filled out a year-end satisfaction survey, and was home at 4:10 on a 407.


Jizyah Shorts?! What the hell were her parents thinking?!




From my Endlessly Engrossing Bathroom Reader #22: HOW TO SAVE A BIG SHIP FROM SINKING, EVEN THOUGH TORPEDOED?!

Paulo and I were trying to figure out where everyone else wanted to meet, so eventually I said "fuck it - let's meet somewhere nearby." The hospital Starbucks it was! We just managed to get the 407 at Alderbridge after ascertaining that everyone now wanted to meet at House of Dosas on Kingsway; like we were saying, we don't care if people want to do something later, JUST PICK A LOCATION TO MEET! After Paulo went on ahead at Brighouse (the elevator took a while), I got on the next train and checked my text messages. We figured out what had happened and set up King Edward as a meeting place. He did apologize ("my bad") and explained, so of course I accepted that.

We finally made it to the House of Dosas at about 6:20 and met Holly, Brian, and Darryl. I had a lamb vindaloo dosa while Paulo added a buttermilk lassi to his dinner; when we heard that he hadn't eaten all day, I said that he should have walked over to my place for some instant noodles! No, that wasn't a joke! I did PM him my address when I got home just in case. We talked about cricket, virginity, porn stars, Halloween, Good Friday / Easter, Direct Tap, a new job, a casual stress-free work culture, and maybe doing something later. It was a good time, and I did like my spicy lamb vindaloo dosa!

Later, Brian drove us to the Dark Manor on Fraser Street. It was so fucking dark in there that I couldn't see a damn thing. Luckily, I waited near the washrooms and Holly actually came out. Brian tapped a bar stool, so at least I knew where that was. There was a Zombie drink where you could only order two of them (Brian thought that was a gimmick), there was a communal huge bowl of alcohol with LONG drinking straws (SHARE OUR BACKWASH!), we needed candlelight to read the menu, and we watched Paulo and Darryl get progressively more wasted on the one Zombie drink. I did have some of Brian's beer when he offered. After that, I wasn't in the mood to drink more, so when Brian asked if I wanted to, I said no. He ended us dropping us all off at home, by the car, or near Marine Drive Station. Talked about zero-waste, weekend plans, seeing family, Jeremy being so wasted that he couldn't get home himself (and then having to pay a fine and get his car back from a towing place the next day), Garden and Nanaimo (near the old VCEFC!), and hanging out again tomorrow at the music bingo. (I declined) I got in at 8:40.
