July 12
Got up early (groan…too fuckin’ early) and ran around like a madwoman. I made photocopies of the flyers and previews, dropped off previews flyers and posters to Mitzi’s Sister where we’re having the party, dropped off more stuff to Mitzi’s Café and Gallery, around the corner from the main place where the party is. And then did more stuff, like go to the soap store and then drop all that off at Carolina’s place. When I got home to Ramon’s place, I slept for a couple of hours and he made dinner. We watched a movie and I have decided that since tomorrow is my day off (I get three in a row because of funky shit happening at the store this week) I am going to sleep in even if it means I miss brunch.

Ahh, a day off. Well not really because I have to meet Willow and discuss numbers for the party. Guest list, thank you’s that kind of thing. My cats ran out of food because I am never home so I went and took care of that. Poor little guys. I really should spend more time in my apartment. Took the comics to Willow’s house to store since she has more room. Went for Mexican food, had our meeting and went back to Ramon’s place where I worked until the wee hours on our release party flyers and poster. With help from my wonderful boyfriend, of course. He’s been so great in taking things away from me and making me sleep and stuff. The alarm went off early one morning and he actually made me stay in bed for an extra half hour.

Thought I worked early today but found out differently when I got there. Bastards, I could’ve used the extra sleep. I did the toy taping with Natasha, went to the bank to deposit my cheque and discovered that it was unsigned. Double bastards. I went back to the store and asked my boss to sign my cheque, then went and deposited it.

Went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean with a few people from work. Great flick. Johnny Depp rules as Captain Jack Sparrow. I could even forgive Orlando Bloom’s performance (I like him better as an elf, sorry). All in all a fantastic movie that I will see again.July 9
Well, toast my nuts and call me happy. Got the book today, just like they said. Wow. It looks amazing. I am very happy with it. Unfortunately I am so tired that my enthusiasm isn’t really coming across here. Trust me, I’m elated beyond words.

Went and saw the Blue man Group at the ACC. If you ever get the chance go and see them. Their theatrical performance was astounding. I couldn’t believe it. And yes, they were blue.

July 8
The printer called and said our comic will arrive tomorrow. This I have to see. I won’t believe it until I see it. I am very stressed out with planning and getting ready for the soap show and Chicago. I feel like I’m going to punch someone in the throat. And like it.

July 7
I went to work and was late. Again.

July 6
Work. Stupid people. I’m done with this week. I’m going to the bar.

July 5
I had to work today. It was busy, so I didn’t mind too much. After I finished, Carla and Bonnie picked me up. We went to see Nichole. She had had surgery the previous week and we decided to surprise her with a visit. After a few martinis, we began to discuss my anger problem. I didn’t feel as though I was put on the spot, which was good, and I learned a few things about myself. Which I am not going to go into here because it’s private. SO BACK OFF!!!

I still have a long way to go.

July 4
Willow and I fixed our poster, with Ramon’s help, for our upcoming comic release party. Then we had dinner and chatted. After she left, we watched the season finale of Farscape. If you haven’t watched it, now is a good time to start because they’re going to be showing the whole run again on Space. Watch it, I’m serious. It kicks ass.

July 3
Went in to do the taping for Space and I think I’ve outdone myself in the realm of making an ass of myself. I had fun, that Nat lady is crazy but I know I’m gonna get ribbed for a while. Bling-bling? What the fuck? Anyhow, we had fun. The End.

I interviewed a member of the Blue Man Group for an article I’m writing for a new entertainment magazine called Zu that launches this August. That was what I wanted the tape recorder for. I ended up buying this attachment that was…wrong and Ramon (god love him, he’s so damn cute) tried for almost two hours to try and get the attachment to work with his computer. In the end, I decided to wing it and I think I did a pretty good job. We’ll see what the editor thinks when he gets my piece.

July 2
I had to work the late shift today, which means I get to sleep in. That was nice. Although I enjoy leaving work at 3:30 pm on new comic day, sleeping in does have its advantages. After work I went to the dreaded Eaton Center to try and find a tape recorder to record interviews on. Good luck. So, I scrapped that idea and went to Ramon’s instead. His friend Shellie was over, and I had a really nice chat with her. I don’t spend enough time with her. She’s really cool. I like her. We ordered Chinese food and sat around stuffing our faces. Good times.

July 1
Dragged my ass out of bed today to go to work. It’s a holiday; that’s Canada Day for all you retards and the store is open. I was 45 minutes late. Oh well, at least I showed up. Not too busy, and my boss took me out for lunch. I had a real tough time working and standing all day but I made it through. At the end of the day though all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and die. Ramon met me at work and took me to see Finding Nemo. I needed that. It was such a good movie.

June 30
Spent today in bed as well. I am still not doing so well; my brain feels like someone keeps poking it with a sharp stick. Ramon made me tea and told me to stay in bed. He makes me feel fuzzy.
