“she works hard for the money”
Having a job with no computer is pretty awesome because I am in no way tempted to do stupid stuff that could get me canned. Downside, I don’t get to blog as often. I haven’t done this sort of shift work since the nineties so it is taking a bit to get used to. The film industry was too hard with no car although I learned a lot and I mean a lot plus I’m not saying I will never do it again in the summer the not having a car/retarded hours don’t bother me as much, really what I mean is if Ryan Gosling were to film here I’d be on that set other than that I like being in doors now with ventilated air and heat and stuff, plus I wouldn’t leave where I am now, I’d have to find a way to do both.
Oops did I forget to mention I got a new job?
So now I am bonified Housewife Extraordinaire with permanent part time job. I feel so much better about myself and when I don’t clean the kitchen I don’t feel guilty because I work too. Granted, matching P.J sets and my Sneaky Brim Toque and my pirate/scull slippers are my day off uniform. I am in NO WAY responsible for bringing sexy back as this photo clearly shows. The apartment is freezing, I’ll bring sexy back in the spring. The Sneaky Brim Toque is on a similar status HIGH as my Neko Case T-shirt, it is getting A LOT of wear.
My tattoos are allowed to show and although we can’t wear jeans all other pants are basically allowed. Gus is having some ‘issues’ to say the VERY least with my not being home as much but I am sure she will adjust and realize she was simply taking me for granted anyway.
With my working Adam actually gets some time to himself which he is loving and it makes me happy after the gift of sitting on my ass for so long he gave me. I’ll walk in the door and he has his guitar [a REAL one] on his lap or he may be banging out new tunes on his key board or he’ll be passed out on the couch with the Greeper and I almost feel guilty that I’m interrupting because I can come home for lunch. That last part is a lie I don’t feel bad for coming home for lunch when Adam is home because then he will make me lunch, but I am still down with him having more ‘him’ time.

I’m happy that you’re diggin’ the new job!! Playing with dogs at work would make me so happy….

Yay for the job! It’s great that you’re enjoying it. I was getting a bit worried by your absense… I knew it would have to be either you were depressed or playing guitar hero 24/7 or that you had a job. I’m glad it’s the latter! It’s hot here in Perth. I’ve got the aircon on in the lounge but I’m still sweating in the study. I’d forgotten what this weather was like! xox

I can’t believe I spelt absence wrong.
And I just opened the front door and realised it was cool outside, being night-time and all. Guess I should open some windows!

Yay U!!! Got your stuff, extremely tired. US Walmart has reusable bags more supreme then those here in Canada, got you 2!

EXACTLY!
No offence but deep down we all know that my good friend P.Bert is/has/always will be reponsible for bringing sexy back.
As for the ’sneaky brim toque’, we call them “Baseball Beanies” ’round these parts and I was going to buy one tomorrow, but seeing as you have the EXACT SAME ONE AS I WAS GONNA SODDIN’ BUY! I’ll DEFINATLY buy it tomorrow….. (The patented ‘C.J’s Festival Beanie’ is looking a little worse for wear as it hasn’t been washed since I met Graham Coxon in 2004….disgusting I know but the luckiest garment I own….And it has JUST turned in the minus figures tempreture wise….. Nipples that can cut Tungstun)
You rock the P.Js ma’am.
Yours, as always
C.J Hixon esq - World Champion Guitarist 2007.

P.S … You get away with pepperoni??
Bert regularly demands a stuffed crust meat feast extra large with extra onion… If only I could get away with just a pepperoni……..
ARF!

Being able to see dogs all day would be awesome. We allow dogs in our store, but they only come in every so often, and it’s frequently hard to go say hi because I’m stuck on till or busy with someone.

thats a very complex photo. as we speak dan brown is writing a book about it. in a merlot turtleneck. sorry, his friday merlot turtleneck. gus is totally transitioning along with you. this becomes more hilarious only to me because the song playing is “me and my shadow” by frank and sam. you are frank by the way. and as far as what you do for yourself every day if it was a mural it would be a space barbarian holding a baseball bat with edward james olmos on the barrel in one hand and an electrified battle axe on fire in the other destroying flying scorpions on top of mount suvius in a lightning storm during the earths goelogical apocalypse. on fire.
