Tapas piss me off

What the hell is the big freakin’ deal with tapas these days? They are fun and can even be somewhat practical when you have a group going out and you want to try a bit of everything but when it’s just the two of you going out for dinner, then it’s just a pain in the butt. When I go to a restaurant and I see that they only have tapas and that each tapas plate costs what a full meal should cost, then I get so mad, what a rip off.

Only in the 'Couv

The man and I headed down to Granville Island today in search of some smoked alder salt (don’t ask). As we drove down onto the island I looked to my right and took notice of all the social co-op housing there; all newish, waterfront and cheap. How is it that alcoholics, drug abusers and welfare mom’s get waterfront living for under $1,000 a month whereas I bust my ass off and live a clean life yet you can only see the water at my place if you stand at a certain spot in the room, tilt your head and have a clear sky. It just doesn’t seem right; our tax dollars at work.

Guilty pleasures

I saw the look that you gave me when I was rocking out to George Michael today, whatever. He’s rad, I love him and the fact that you hate him only makes me love him that much more.

WebMD nearly ruined my life

I know that I should take information that I find on the internet with a grain of salt but ever since my family GP up and fucked off without telling anyone and took all of our files with him, I have had to result to WebMD to do symptom searches to see if it’s worth my time to sit in the ridonculous walk-in clinic queue or not. Today I woke up and my face looked like a pumpkin, my face was totally swollen up and felt as hard as a wall. Well great, it is either: an allergic reaction, a tumour or a blockage. Well that’s just great WebMD, you have managed to scare the shit out of me once more. Just like when I got stung by a jellyfish in Dominica and the skin on my knee went all wonky for a few months.

Denied

Ticketmaster, you can seriously suck my ass. Rena and I were both logged into our accounts and clicked 'buy' at 10am PST sharp and you still denied us tickets to see our beloved Flight of the Conchords. Are you trying to tell us that all of these tickets sold out in less than 20 seconds? Faster than Madonna, AC/DC and every other concert that has come to our fair city? Seriously Ticketmaster, you guys blow and your online process is corrupt at best. Thanks for helping the scalpers out and hurting the fans you ass clowns.

If we took a holiday

Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of 'the c-word' at all, but lately there is one person in particular in my office who reeeeeally makes me want to shout it out during a meeting or in the lunch room. I think that I need to get away to somewhere warm that serves drinks with umbrellas in them ASAP before I go completely postal.
