tuesday night my friend terry(who i used to work with) took me out and we proceeded to eat at the keg. i had taken him out for his birthday about a year ago and we basically keep taking each other out. except we could never get together last year for mine. until a couple of days ago. we decided to get togehter cuz i'll be heading off down south for oh, possibly the rest of my life. i will see him for sure in feb. when we catch a leafs pens game at the igloo(sorry i just can't say mellon arena, it's dumb, and i won't be signing up for a new bank account there either). our waiter was pretty nice. too many times you get some dork trying to be cool by trying to hard to bond with you for an hour. but he was cool. so if you're a waiter or waitress, do just that , play it cool and you'll get a big tip. but hey we're two 30-ish males and not a family of four. (which of course you would have to change your serving strategy). after the meal we headed over to limeridge mall(one of the last times i'll see it for a while) to find it almost completely empty before the insanity of x-mas starts. it was also a chance for me to try and get a gift for my friends chris and tara's wedding. using the registry wasn't a problem. maybe if sears had some goddamn stock it wouldn't be such a production. how does this happen? why does this happen? shouldn't a manager be fired? or the purchase manager to be precise? i chose three items and the poor sales lady told me all of those items were out of stock. like what the fuck. please, you're a multi-billion operation, why don't you have a friggin 12 -speed blender? *shakes head*

tonight my best friend and ex-roomate took me out to pastacino(ironically right across the street from my last meal endevour). i met pete in the spring of 1991 and we've been great friends ever since. we just clicked i guess as some people do. many of those years have been in co-habitation, on and off. unfortuanately i've had to kick him out on one occasion.(he left me for women the other two times) but we remain firends. yeah, ups and downs, but a memorable chapter in my life. he's also been on the wagon for 59 days. his girlfriend told me it was getting out of control. drinking 14-16 beers a night cant be good for you. and yes, he's as cranky as i was trying to quit smoking, but i'm sure he's better for it. seems like something is going to explode...and that's not good. but i'm glad he's better because you don't want to lose a friend to alcoholism. so he had two lemonades at din and me two coffees. the restaurant was alright, but it has to lose the paper napkins and vinyl tablecloths...it used to be a greek restaurant as i recalled being there one new year eve, or halowe'en or something about 5 years back. so we chatted and laughed about stupid things. he's one of many friends i can be immature and goofy with no matter how old we are. we'll be sixty years old making dumb sounds and giggling like kids about nothing in paticular. i'll miss him tons.

so two more nights in canadaland. i'm really calm, considering. probably because i'll be with court. i'm familiar with the town and place and i want to be there. i'm hoping everything else will work out smoother than me trying to jam 35 boxes into a five by five storage unit. that will be difficult. but i'm up to both challenges.

and on a not too happy note, on my last official day of work i have been stiffed out of a half hours pay. which i will be relieved to work for no one but myself soon. on tuesday the "boss" called the clinic and asked if i would do him a favour by treating someone who was not on file. now, that's all fine because i don't have a problem treating private pts. hey, it's going to be my bread and butter. but i do have a fucking problem when someone promises me something and they don't deliver. so next time make sure you put your money where your mouth is (literally) i will also humbly retract everything i said , if tomorrow the situation is resolved. i don't massage people for free. (uh, well except for my girl and immediate family) so you'll be getting a very bad dose of karma if i'm not paid...maybe your lexus will flip.....
