“Dude…”: My Week on Random (it’s better than repeat)

- I was attacked by a bat at work – my first FH bat experience! It was very exciting and pretty hilarious to see everyone running around with their hands over their heads.
- V and I were casually offered an opportunity to make a porno film (producing, not starring) by an acquaintance we met walking down Princess St. In the post-analysis I said “I thought for a minute he was suggesting we make porn.” And V said, “He was ... He has a history. Never mind.”
- V and I spent a good portion of one evening sticking notes in the wall of the Break-up Booth at the Sleepless Goat.
- When I told him about a recent purchase, TM exclaimed, “You have an ARMBAND to go with your mp3 player?” And I said, “Hey if you get to go to BC and work at some yuppie quantum computing company in Burnaby, I’m allowed to have a fucking armband for my mp3 player.” He didn’t seem to think that a) his job would be yuppie-ish at all, b) that my argument was relevant and/or c) that it was adequate justification for my having an armband.
- I was thoroughly terrified by lecherously grinning man on bicycle outside my house, which prompted me to lock my door at all times, turn my fan off so that I could close my blinds all the way (and subsequently slow-roast to death), and be too afraid to walk home alone after 11 pm. I’m starting to get over it now. Some of that is because I’ll have COMPANY this weekend. Hurray!
- I was accompanied by a *slightly buzzed* V to the mall to hunt for b-day presents (which reminds me, Happy Birthday brother!), but managed to get her to the food court quickly enough to avoid anything more than a little loud-talking in Sport Chek à la “I HATE Sport Chek, I don’t want to be in here.” (Also I’m not supposed to be telling this story until such time as is appropriate i.e we’re together and equally sloshed – so let’s just pretend, okay?)
- I got two emails in one day from different people, both with the subject heading “dude…"
- I was forwarded this link to many things you can do with cola, which made me almost never want to drink the stuff ever again, not just for the good of my body but also the good of my soul. ALMOST NEVER.
- And then there was this whole episode during the heat with zombies. But I think it’s just as well I don’t get into THAT one.

All in all it turned out OK, although I didn't realize that while it was happening. Funny huh?
