Winter Wonderland

Published on December 18, 2008 by Corinna Carlson | 0 Comments

Yesterday it snowed a fair amount here in lovely Vancouver and it made me a hyper mess and I couldn’t stop taking hits off my bong and that’s a no no during the day. If memory serves it snowed last Sunday but I was all MEH who cares I have no northern ties, face it Carlson, SNOW SUCKS. But then yesterday I was on Twitter and I mentioned how when I was a kid I was tobogganing at the main golf course in Smithers and almost first run I basically fell in a wee creek and we weren’t being picked up for hours and I was pretty cold and literally frozen and someone responded to me with “you are from Smithers? I am from Burns Lake.” Well then, let the talk of The North begin.

I realized I was going to get nothing done, no dishes, no writing, no yoga, so I got off my ass, went and got my seriously function only winter boots, my original plan with said boots was to ONLY wear them up north where no one would see me but Adam has this idea that because we have them we should wear them as if they were normal winter boots so I did just that and they didn’t hurt my toe so I guess it is healed.

I went for a sensational walk around Lost Lagoon it was filled with cliché moments typical of Vancouver in the snow, I laughed, I got a little misty eyed, a raccoon almost ate me, it was fantastic clueless fun, then I had a panic attack and felt like I was hyperventilating and almost fell over, too much fresh air and awesomeness but you know what? They actually have a life guard sitting down at Lost Lagoon so had I have fallen in there would have been someone there to save me.

I did not leave the West End so there was not a lot to really get on my nerves except the fact that our street never gets cleared when it snows because I think the city only has one snow plow and I’m not taking a shot there I’m being serious.

But before I go, I feel very strongly that it doesn’t matter how citified I become if you ever see me carrying an umbrella in the SNOW please fucking shoot me, right in the face, do it up, cause my life would be over that day anyway. You drive me insane (not YOU geesh) seriously put the fucking umbrella away. Seeing as I am supposed to be all in control of my temper let’s think about this rationally: how does it affect ME that some people carry umbrellas in the snow? Quite frankly it doesn’t affect me, the person, BUT if I stood in one place and put my arms out and started spinning around catching snow on my tongue and someone carrying an umbrella entered my personal spinning space I guess then we’d have a problem. I should probably relax about it but I never will that is why it’s called a pet peeve.

I was reading Derek’s blog and found an interesting Flickr meme which asks that you go to page six of your Flickr photostream and post the sixth picture on the page. I sure do like photos so I thought I would participate.

This is Gus and Chewy, Gus wants nothing to do with him not sure why they are both furry and whine a lot but as I have said time and time again Gus hates friends.

ps. kitty paws make me happy i could kiss them all day. i love kitty paws.

A dog, a gator and used condoms…. Oh my!

My flights to North Bay were uneventful. I was on an old stupid Air Canada plane and so I didn’t have my own T.V but I had my Zune and a paper book that I needed to finish before I could start a new book on my eBook.

We are two hours more north than North Bay and the CD player in the car is broken. Good thing Rhonda and I are never short for words to say to each other.

The first couple of nights I found it pretty creepy out here but we have the dog and even though we don’t have a gun we can both fire one.

We are working and visiting, more visiting but procrastination is key to accomplishing our real goals. I’m here another two weeks we need to renovate a room and I didn’t bring painting clothes although you’d never have known it from my seriously sexy outside working wear. We have some barrels left to move, some more winterizing of the premises and we still need to do some burning. Rhonda wanted to have a bon fire in the rain and I said FUCK NO I hang out in the rain at home! I feel seriously ripped off, the weather is so Vancouverish right now it is NOT FAIR where is my SNOW! The weather man has said snow is coming two times already. Fibbers and hope DESTROYERS!!

Rhonda thought I was getting depressed because I sleep so much, nope, I just need my beauty sleep that is doing dick fuck all if I get one more bloody pimple I will be able to pop my whole head, and because I go to bed between 8 and 10pm at home staying up till midnight plus here means I can’t get up at my normal 7ish. I’m like a teenager I do not operate well on less than ten hours sleep.

I bought a ten dollars even juniors medium hoodie which is making me pretty happy.

Rhonda is a NKOTB fan and went to their concert in Toronto and is going to the one in Vancouver and she plays NKOTB a lot. My favourite line to hate is one that goes “it’s so crazy she’s like Baby, I’m like Swayze.” The song is called: Dirty Dancing. BUT seeing as I am an amazing friend I get up and put on the NKOTB for her to enjoy. Stupid songs keep getting stuck in my head so bad one day I HAD to put my Zune on. Some Tool, some Neko some Madonna a little Marvin and I was okay again until I went to go to bed and just before I put my earplugs in Rhonda yelled out: “it’s so crazy she’s like Baby, I’m like Swayze.” – A.S.S.H.O.L.E.

I’ve learned how to make a pretty good bed with impressive corners and I enjoy vacuuming. People are so strange, I can’t even go into it but I will just say I didn’t have a problem stripping and making beds until I went into one room and checked the garbage FIRST. DON’T DO IT. Once I knew what had been done in the bed just touching the sheets was enough to send me off on a totally childish and irrational tangent about semen, wet spots and pubes.

Skaha, Rhonda’s dog, is pretty good. She is a spoiled brat though and gets her way and I totally wish I were Cesar Millan so I could make her more like a cat or something. She makes me miss Gus a lot and keeps trying to steal my Chompy. Chompy already lost an eye once and now he has to battle this dog. Yes I am 31 and sleep with a stuffed gator. I brought Chompy [said gator] so I wouldn’t miss Adam as much because Adam gave me Chompy years ago but even Adam is now worried about the fate of Chompy and one of my main goals is keeping Chompy safe. Rhonda said she was going to get a gator cage for Chompy but I have yet to see one. I’ll keep you posted on that one; so far Skaha has only been able to bite Chompy’s foot.

We started watching Heroes Season 1 and we are now onto Heroes Season 2. I made a lot of observations while watching Heroes, and I totally have a new T.V crush. I have discussed my new found crush on Milo Ventimiglia with my husband and he still loves me so all is cool. FINALLY I am starting to get Adam to reveal his actress hotties list to me. He likes Jennifer Love Hewitt. That is all I have so far.

I’m not so good at teaching myself things

My parents left for Toronto this morning. They will be there for two weeks, fly back to Vancouver for two days and then they will be officially retired and living in Bali. They are already officially retired but they are still saying goodbye to family, my dad worked his very last day at ICBC yesterday, he was there over twenty years, I can’t remember exactly how many years over twenty but a few if not a bit more than a few.

I have an aversion to reading instruction manuals I sometimes wish that learning things was just an injection into your brain like in the movies because procrastination and laziness are committed hourly in my life.

My point is that I am still very green at taking photos but I want to post some because I’m sort of getting better at taking them and actually left my apartment on a semi regular basis with my parents here for three weeks.

And whatever, not like it was original, of course I took it from The Minx but I used to ALWAYS do photo posts.
