I hate how I always think of interesting things to write about whenever I'm walking around or I'm on the bus but whenever I actually have time to write about them in my blog, I always forget.
I woke up really late today but somehow I had gotten ready for work earlier than usual so I took a super early bus to go downtown (I start work at 13h00 but I took the 11h30 94 bus). The 94 picked me up a little late but that ended up being perfect timing because as soon as I arrived downtown, the next bus I needed was pulling up. The bus driver of the second bus (the 97) was pointing down at my feet when I got on the bus and I was all confused until I realized that my headphones were dragging on the ground. I really like the mid-day bus drivers because they're usually friendly and have conversations with people and make jokes and stuff.
I went to my favourite Starbucks - the Bank Street one (they make the best pumpkin spice fraps/lattes and they are super friendly and talkative) and read A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick for about half an hour before deciding to go back to work. I hopped on the 2 to go back to the Rideau Center so I could walk back down to uni. I've noticed that the downtown busses usually have really shady characters occupying the funky-smelling seats and I'm usually the youngest occupant in there.
While at Rideau, I decided to walk around the mall and go to the Buck or Two to buy a notebook so I could write down my thoughts and post them here later. After looking at over-priced notebooks for a couple of minutes, I looked at my watch and decided that I should head to the university to avoid being late for work.
The 13 minute walk proved uneventful and boring until I reached the building where I work. There was a notice taped on the door that coldly explained that the building was closed due to some maintenance thing. I tried the doors and they were locked. I tried entering the building via other sets of doors (there are always multiple ways to get into any university building) but they were all locked. I think that's kind of of weird because I swear I saw someone walkining inside and he didn't look like a maintenance worker...
I tried calling work and no one answered so I went to Chapters and picked up a comic book that I had been eying for a while - Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse vol. 1 by Ben Templesmith. The art is spectacular and the storyline looks interesting.
Then I bussed home and as I told my mum that I was fired (my dad's idea) to freak her out. Now I'm supposed to be doing my German assignment but I really can't be arsed to do so.
I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not working today because I pulled together a snazzy outfit and I 'm more efficiant at doing my homework at work than I do at home. I'm also really mad because I just found out that I had anassignment due at 03h00 this morning and I thought it was due at midnight tonight. FML
Here are some pics:
This is was my outfit + my fave jacket that I bought a couple of days ago. I got that scarf yesterday.
This is part of the cover of Wormwood. Sorry for the bad webcam quality. And for my chipped nail polish.
Here's a bad quality snapshop of a random page in the comic.
I really need to charge my real cam's batteries so I don't need to rely on my webcam for photos. But this is the Gentleman Corpse. The pictures look a million times better irl.
This is from the back of the comic, where there are pictures of the original Wormwood sketches and pin-ups. I really liked these drawings and it's a shame that my webcam doesn't take nice photos
